Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found in Ecuador. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Achroonema lentum is a slime bacterium or algal-like microorganism forming slow-growing, colorless filaments in freshwater habitats. It inhabits cold, oligotrophic freshwater streams and springs. This organism decomposes dissolved and particulate organic matter in cold freshwater environments with slow metabolic activity.

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.
