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. Near Threatened, with range contracting due to deforestation.

Methanococcus aeolicus is a methanogenic archaeon in the order Methanococcales, capable of producing methane through the reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen. It inhabits marine sediments and hydrothermal environments where it contributes to anaerobic carbon cycling. Like other members of the genus, it is strictly anaerobic and mesophilic to slightly thermophilic.
