Chacoan naked-tailed armadillo
The Chacoan Naked-Tailed Armadillo (Cabassous chacoensis) is a species in the genus Cabassous. It is currently classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
Tuber maculatum, the whitish truffle or spotted truffle, is an underground fruiting ascomycete with a white to cream-colored exterior marked by dark patches giving it a mottled appearance. It inhabits calcareous soils in temperate European forests, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with oak, hazel, and other hardwood trees. This subterranean fungus forms nutrient-exchange partnerships with tree roots and disperses spores via burrowing animals attracted to its pungent aroma.
