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.
Netzsporiger Moosbecherling
Neottiella rutilans is a small, bright orange cup fungus growing on mossy and bare soil in temperate habitats. It inhabits mossy woodland banks, sandy heathlands, and acidic soils across temperate Europe and North America. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes plant debris and soil organic matter, fruiting in spring and autumn.
