Chrysococcus furcatus is a freshwater chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysococcus, class Chrysophyceae, order Chromulinales. The species epithet furcatus — forked — describes a bifurcate or forked element of the lorica structure, which is the outer case or envelope enclosing the cell body. Lorica morphology is the primary criterion for species identification in Chrysococcus, with different taxa having characteristic shapes including spherical, heart-shaped, flask-shaped, and various elaborated forms with spines, pores, or processes. C. furcatus has been recorded from Norwegian and Swedish freshwater environments, contributing to the well-documented chrysophyte diversity of Scandinavian lakes and freshwater bodies. Some records also indicate its occurrence in Brazilian and Danish waters, suggesting a broad if patchy distribution across different climatic zones, potentially through passive wind or waterfowl dispersal of dormant cysts. The species inhabits the limnetic zone of freshwater systems, particularly clear oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes where nutrient concentrations are relatively low and chrysophytes thrive. Chrysococcus furcatus engages in photosynthesis using the standard chrysophyte pigment complement and is a component of the freshwater phytoplankton community that contributes to primary production and serves as prey for zooplankton. C. furcatus has not been formally assessed under IUCN criteria and is classified as Not Evaluated. Its documentation in northern European surveys reflects the tradition of thorough freshwater microalgal taxonomy in Scandinavia.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
