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.

Helles Schilf-Filzbecherchen

Mollisia hydrophila is a tiny disc fungus producing greyish apothecia on submerged and waterlogged plant debris in aquatic habitats. It inhabits streamsides, lake margins, and wet woodland environments in temperate Europe and North America. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes waterlogged plant material in riparian and aquatic edge habitats.
