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。

Sphingopyxis granuli 是鞘脂单胞菌科中的革兰氏阴性阿尔法变形菌，以黄色素菌落和细胞膜中含有鞘脂为特征，后者为该科共有性状。从颗粒相关物质中分离得到，具有需氧、杆状和运动性特征。Sphingopyxis 属广泛分布于土壤、淡水和植物相关环境中。
