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.

Napfförmiger Kelchbecherling

Tarzetta cupularis is a small cup fungus in the family Pyronemataceae, producing pale buff to cream-colored, cup-shaped apothecia on disturbed soil, gravel paths, and recently burned ground in temperate forests. Its smooth inner surface contrasts with a finely granular outer surface and short stipe. Assessed as Least Concern, it is a saprotrophic ascomycete found across the temperate Northern Hemisphere.
