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。

Porphyrobacter tepidarius是中等嗜热性需氧不产氧光合营养细菌，能够在较高温度下生长，其种名（tepidarius意为温暖）暗示了这一特性。已从热水或温暖淡水栖息地中分离获得。与其他Porphyrobacter种一样，含有细菌叶绿素，可将光能作为补充能源加以利用。
