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。

Stemonaria pilosa は森林環境の腐敗する木質植物材料に細い毛で覆われた微小な胞子嚢を形成する変形菌(粘菌)である。他の変形菌と同様に、生殖構造を形成する前にアメーバ状の原形質段階を経る。この生物は森林の落葉や木材中の細菌や菌類の胞子を食べ、微生物群集生態系で役割を担う。
