Chita

El guepardo es el animal terrestre más rápido de la Tierra, alcanzando velocidades de 112 km/h en distancias cortas en las praderas de África e Irán. Complexión esbelta con un pecho profundo, patas largas y distintivas marcas negras en forma de lágrima. A diferencia de otros grandes felinos, los guepardos vocalizan con chirridos y ronroneos. Vulnerable, con solo ~7.000 individuos restantes debido a la fragmentación del hábitat y la competencia con depredadores más grandes.

Cortinarius urbicus es un hongo de sombrero fibroso y robusto del género Cortinarius con un sombrero marrón sedoso y láminas de color oxidado al madurar. Habita en bosques de coníferas y mixtos, formando asociaciones ectomicorrícicas con abeto, pino y ocasionalmente árboles caducifolios. Este hongo obtiene nutrientes comerciando azúcares con sus socios arbóreos en el suelo forestal.
