Biscogniauxia repanda es un hongo pirenomiceto que produce estromas planos en forma de costra con peritecios incrustados sobre la corteza de madera muerta. Habita bosques templados y mediterráneos, creciendo sobre ramas y tallos muertos de robles, castaños y otros árboles de hoja caduca. Este ascomiceto saprótrofo descompone la madera muerta y coloniza árboles estresados o dañados.

Jirafa

La jirafa (Giraffa camelopardalis) es el animal terrestre más alto de la Tierra, puede alcanzar 5,5 metros de altura y pesar hasta 1.750 kg. Su elongado cuello, que contiene las mismas siete vértebras cervicales que todos los mamíferos, evolucionó para alimentarse de acacias en sabanas y bosques africanos. Animal social que vive en manadas sueltas, se comunica mediante infrasonidos y lenguaje corporal. Clasificada como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y la caza furtiva.
