Komodo Dragon

O dragão-de-komodo é o maior lagarto vivo. É encontrado apenas em algumas ilhas indonésias.

Stemonaria pilosa e um mixomiceto (fungo mucilaginoso) que produz minusculos esporangios cobertos de pelos finos sobre material vegetal lenhoso em decomposicao em ambientes florestais. Assim como outros mixomicetos, passa por um estagio plasmodial amoeboide antes de formar estruturas reprodutivas. Este organismo desempenha um papel na ecologia das comunidades microbianas, alimentando-se de bacterias e esporos fungicos na serrapilheira e na madeira da floresta.
