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.

Staphylococcus equorum is a coagulase-negative gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, commonly associated with horses and their environment. It is also found in fermented foods and has been studied for its role in the ripening of artisanal cheeses. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
