giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。

Protoperidinium subinermeは比較的短い棘を持つ頑丈な甲状細胞体の海洋従属栄養性渦鞭毛藻である。世界中の温帯および亜熱帯海洋の沿岸および内洋外洋水域に生息する。この捕食性原生生物は外膜摂食によって珪藻や他の植物プランクトン細胞を飲み込み、微生物食物網の重要な構成要素となっている。
