giraffe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.

Macbrideola cornea is a minute myxomycete in the order Liceales, forming tiny stalked sporangia on decaying plant material and bark. Its sporangia are ivory to pale in color with a firm peridium. Like other slime molds, it plays a role in forest nutrient cycling by consuming bacteria and fungal spores.
