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.

Micromonospora marina is a marine-derived actinobacterium forming orange-to-red single spores on substrate mycelium. It has been isolated from marine sediments and coastal soils with marine influence. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades complex organic polymers in marine and coastal environments and produces bioactive secondary metabolites.
