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.

Mollisia hydrophila es un pequeño hongo disco que produce apotecios grises en restos de plantas sumergidas y encharcadas en habitats acuaticos. Habita margenes de arroyos, bordes de lagos y ambientes de bosque humedo en Europa y America del Norte templadas. Este ascomiceto saprotrofo descompone material vegetal encharcado en habitats riparinos y bordes acuaticos.
