Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found in China. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Gewundene Kohlenbeere

Habitat

Native to Europe and North America, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.

Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and United States.

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.

Gewundene Kohlenbeere

Nemania serpens is a saprotrophic ascomycete fungus producing flat, black, crust-like stromata that creep along the surface of dead wood, particularly hardwood branches and logs. It is found across temperate forests in Europe and North America, where it plays a role in wood decomposition. This species is one of the more commonly encountered wood-inhabiting ascomycetes in deciduous woodland.
