Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and United States. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Gepard

The fastest land animal on Earth, reaching speeds of 112 km/h over short distances across African and Iranian grasslands. Slender build with a deep chest, long legs, and distinctive black tear-stripe markings. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs vocalize with chirps and purrs. Vulnerable, with only ~7,000 remaining due to habitat fragmentation and competition with larger predators.

Kerbblättriger Rübling

Rhodocollybia prolixa is a saprotrophic mushroom with a pale brownish cap and a long, fibrous stipe, growing on decaying leaf litter and woody debris in temperate European forests. It contributes to the decomposition of organic matter on the forest floor. Classified as Vulnerable, this species is threatened by habitat loss and changes in woodland management that reduce accumulations of organic litter.
