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.

Hydropus trichoderma es un pequeño hongo saprotrófico con un estípite delicado y esbelto y un sombrero pálido y convexo que crece sobre restos leñosos en descomposición en hábitats forestales. Está registrado en bosques templados europeos y contribuye a la descomposición de madera en ecosistemas boscosos. Su estado de En Peligro refleja su rareza y el declive de bosques maduros no perturbados con suficiente madera muerta.
