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。

Lepocinclis marssonii是Phacaceae科的单细胞光合裸藻类鞭毛虫，以具有碳储存化合物副淀粉颗粒的坚硬纺锤形至椭圆形细胞体为特征。生活在富营养至中营养的淡水池塘、沟渠和沼泽中，参与浮游植物群落的构成。与同属的裸藻不同，Lepocinclis细胞具有不能进行变形运动的坚硬表膜。
