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。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
