combed octopus
Cheetah
지구상 가장 빠른 육상 동물로, 아프리카와 이란의 초원에서 단거리 질주 시 시속 112km에 달하는 속도를 낸다. 깊은 가슴, 긴 다리, 독특한 흑색 눈물 줄무늬를 가진 날씬한 체형이 특징이다. 다른 대형 고양이과와 달리 치타는 지저귀는 소리와 그루링 소리를 낸다. 서식지 파편화와 대형 포식자와의 경쟁으로 인해 약 7,000마리만 남아 있으며 취약종으로 분류된다.
combed octopus
<em>Eledone massyae</em>, the combed octopus, is a cephalopod mollusc in the family Octopodidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the genus <em>Eledone</em>, it is distinguished from true octopuses by possessing a single row of suckers on each arm rather than the double row characteristic of the genus <em>Octopus</em>. <em>E. massyae</em> is a benthic predator that uses its arms and suckers to capture and subdue prey, which typically includes crustaceans, fish, and other invertebrates. Like all cephalopods, it possesses a highly developed nervous system and sophisticated behaviors including the ability to change skin color and texture for camouflage. Specific habitat description and geographic range data are not available for this species in the current record. The organism does not maintain biological traits such as a fixed body length or mass across individuals in a consistent manner for reporting here.
