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。

Thermomonas haemolyticaは実験室条件下で赤血球を溶血させる能力を持つことで注目される中等度好熱性細菌である。温かい土壌や堆肥環境に生息し、一般的な中温性温度範囲を超える温度に耐える。この好気性化学有機栄養菌は熱的に豊富な生息地で有機物を分解する。
