Bacillus thuringiensis is a gram-positive, spore-forming soil bacterium in the family Bacillaceae, widely known for producing crystalline protein toxins (Cry proteins) that are insecticidal. It is globally distributed in soils, plant surfaces, and insect habitats. It is extensively used in biological pest control as a safe alternative to chemical insecticides.

jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat. Found from Mexico through South America, with strongholds in the Amazon and Pantanal. Powerful swimmers and apex predators, jaguars play a critical role in regulating prey populations.
