Dickfüßiger Risspilz

Inocybe curvipes is a small, brown mycorrhizal mushroom in the family Inocybaceae, recognized by its fibrous, brownish cap and curved stipe. It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with deciduous trees, particularly oaks and beeches, in temperate woodland soils. Like many Inocybe species, it contains muscarine and may be toxic if ingested; it is assessed as Least Concern across its European range.

Eisbär

The largest land carnivore on Earth, polar bears can exceed 700 kg and are found across Arctic sea ice from Canada to Russia. Highly specialized marine mammals that rely on sea ice to hunt ringed and bearded seals. Excellent swimmers capable of covering vast distances in open water. Listed as Vulnerable, with populations under severe pressure from rapid Arctic sea ice loss due to climate change.
