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.

Nostoc calcicola es una cianobacteria filamentosa fijadora de nitrogeno que forma colonias gelatinosas de color verde oscuro a negruzco sobre superficies de roca calcarea humeda, suelo y muros de piedra. Se distribuye en regiones templadas y mediterraneas, especialmente en habitats humedos con sustratos ricos en calcio. Clasificada como Vulnerable, esta especie esta amenazada por la perdida de habitat, el desarrollo urbano y la degradacion de sus microhabitats en roca calcarea.
