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。

Trachelomonas helvetica是包裹在坚硬矿化壳体（壳状外壳）内的单细胞裸藻，见于欧洲及其他地区的淡水水塘、湖泊和缓流水域。种名反映了其在瑞士的发现地。与其他Trachelomonas种一样，可进行光合作用，并在壳体内利用鞭毛游动。
