Bambusbär

Iconic black-and-white bear of the mountain bamboo forests of central China, giant pandas can weigh up to 125 kg and spend up to 14 hours daily consuming bamboo, which comprises 99% of their diet despite belonging to the order Carnivora. Solitary and elusive, they have a pseudo-thumb for gripping bamboo stems. Downgraded from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2016 following successful conservation and breeding programs.

Hellblaue Traubenhyazinthe

<em>Muscari botryoides</em>, commonly known as common grape hyacinth, is a bulbous flowering plant belonging to the genus Muscari within the family Asparagaceae. The species inhabits grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes, demonstrating considerable versatility across managed and natural environments. Its native and naturalized range includes Japan in Asia, fourteen European countries, and populations in both Canada and the United States in North America. Common grape hyacinth is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically produces dense racemes of small, urn-shaped blue to violet flowers in early spring, making it a recognizable element of both wild and garden landscapes across its range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
