The Chinese River Dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer) is a species in the genus Lipotes. It is currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
Tuber maculatum, la trufa blanca o trufa moteada, es un ascomiceto subterráneo con un exterior blanco a crema marcado por manchas oscuras que le confieren un aspecto jaspeado. Habita suelos calcáreos en bosques europeos templados, formando asociaciones ectomicorrízicas con robles, avellanos y otros árboles de madera dura. Este hongo subterráneo establece asociaciones de intercambio de nutrientes con raíces de árboles y dispersa esporas a través de animales excavadores atraídos por su aroma pungente.
