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.
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.
