Gewundene Kohlenbeere

Nemania serpens is a saprotrophic ascomycete fungus producing flat, black, crust-like stromata that creep along the surface of dead wood, particularly hardwood branches and logs. It is found across temperate forests in Europe and North America, where it plays a role in wood decomposition. This species is one of the more commonly encountered wood-inhabiting ascomycetes in deciduous woodland.

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.
