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.

Phaeographis dendritica es un liquen crustaceo corticola que forma manchas palidas a blanquecinas sobre corteza lisa con distintivos lirelos apoteciales ramificados y dendriticos. Habita bosques templados humedos y umbrios, especialmente bosques viejos en regiones oceanicas. Clasificado como Vulnerable, esta especie esta amenazada por la perdida de habitat y el declive de los ecosistemas forestales antiguos no perturbados.
