Großscheidiger Scheidenstreifling

Amanita magnivolvata is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom in the family Amanitaceae, notable for its particularly large, prominent volva (the cup-like structure at the stipe base) from which its name derives. It forms mycorrhizal symbioses with tree species in warm-temperate and subtropical forests of Asia and Africa. Its ecology and distribution across its range are not yet fully characterized.

Giraffe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
