Dheeb
The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
Stemonitopsis gracilis is a slender-stalked myxomycete producing delicate, thread-like sporangia with a graceful columella and fine capillitium, growing on decaying plant material in moist forest habitats. Its fruiting bodies are among the most elegant of all slime mould species. This organism is distributed widely across humid temperate and tropical forests.
