Binsen-Sklerotienbecherling

Myriosclerotinia curreyana is a sclerotinia-like ascomycete fungus producing cup-shaped apothecia from overwintered sclerotia buried in soil or plant debris. It grows in temperate habitats associated with the remains of Carex and related sedge plants. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes sedge organic matter in wet meadow and fen habitats.

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.
