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。

Kocuria carniphila 是微球菌科中的革兰氏阳性球菌,从肉类中分离(种名carniphila意为「喜肉的」)。是好氧、非运动性细菌,发现于食品环境以及动物皮肤和相关表面。部分Kocuria物种偶尔引起免疫受损个体的机会性感染,但K. carniphila的临床意义仍有待明确,被IUCN归类为未评估(NE)。
