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。

Staphylococcus lentus は主に羊、山羊、豚を含む家畜の皮膚に見られるコアグラーゼ陰性グラム陽性球菌である。様々な哺乳類宿主の皮膚と粘膜表面に生息する。この緩慢に増殖する共生細菌はまれに疾患を引き起こすが、時折動物の皮膚感染から分離される。
