Komodo Dragon

The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard. It is found only on a few Indonesian islands.

Paradiacheopsis solitaria is a myxomycete (slime mould) that typically produces isolated, single sporangia rather than clustered ones, as implied by its species name. It grows on decaying wood and plant debris in forested environments. Like all myxomycetes, it alternates between a motile plasmodial stage and a sessile sporulation stage during its life cycle.
