Lion

アフリカ最大の野生ネコ科動物で最大250kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナや草原に生息する唯一の社会性ネコ科動物です。雄は象徴的なたてがみで識別されます。頂点捕食者として草食動物の個体群を調節し、生態系のバランスを維持します。生息地の喪失と人間との軋轢により危急種に分類されています。

Neidium bisulcataはNeidiaceae科に属する淡水羽状珪藻で、属名の由来となった各殻に二つの縦方向の溝(sulci)が特徴である。湖、湿地、緩流小川を含む軟水で酸性から中性の淡水生息地に生育する。Neidium種は清澄で電気伝導度の低い水域の指標と見なされており、有機汚染に感受性が高い。
