不对称棘篮虫（Acanthocorbis asymmetrica）是一种生活在沿海及开阔大洋水域的海洋领鞭毛虫，属于单细胞真核生物，与动物祖先关系密切。其细胞被一个由不对称排列的硅质肋条构成的外壳（篮笼状结构）所包裹，是区别于近缘种的显著特征。该物种以细菌为食，在海洋微生物食物网中扮演重要角色。

长颈鹿（Giraffa camelopardalis）是地球上最高的动物，身高可达5.5米，体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物，生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中，通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎，种群持续减少，被列为易危。
