Sienabrauner Kelchstäubling

Arcyria incarnata is a brightly coloured myxomycete (slime mould) producing dense clusters of pink to flesh-coloured, cylindrical sporangia on decaying wood and plant litter in forest habitats. During its vegetative phase it exists as a motile plasmodium feeding on bacteria, fungi, and organic particles. This species is found worldwide in moist, shaded woodland environments with abundant dead wood.

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.
