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.

Trichia contorta es un mixomiceto que produce grupos de pequenos esporangios cilindricos a piriformes sobre madera en descomposicion, frecuentemente en las etapas iniciales de sucesion sobre troncos recien caidos. Se distingue por sus elaters retorcidos, que son hilos enrollados higroscopicos dentro del esporangio que ayudan en la dispersion de esporas. Esta especie se encuentra en bosques templados y boreales del Hemisferio Norte.
