волк

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.

Sphingobacterium canadense is a Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented rod first isolated in Canada, as its species name suggests. It inhabits temperate soil and freshwater environments of northern North America. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes organic matter in cool temperate terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
