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.

Lactarius flavidus es un hongo de laminillas del género de los níscalos con un sombrero amarillento pálido y látex blanco a amarillento que exuda al cortarlo. Crece en bosques mediterráneos y del sur de Europa, formando asociaciones ectomicorrícicas con robles y pinos. Este hongo intercambia nutrientes del suelo por azúcares fotosintéticos con sus árboles asociados.
