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.

Afrikanischer Löwe

The largest wild cat in Africa, lions reach up to 250 kg and are the only social felids, living in prides across sub-Saharan savannas and grasslands. Males are distinguished by their iconic manes. As apex predators, they regulate herbivore populations and maintain ecosystem balance. Listed as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.
