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。

Methanococcus voltae 是甲烷球菌科的中温产甲烷古菌，因其是最早开发出遗传转化技术的产甲烷菌之一而备受关注。栖息于海洋沉积物，以氢气为电子供体还原二氧化碳产生甲烷。其模式生物地位对阐明古菌细胞生物学和遗传学的基本方面发挥了重要作用。
