Cladonia bellidiflora es un liquen de copa ártico-alpino que produce podecio con puntas rojizas emergiendo de una capa de escuámulas basales en suelos ácidos y rocas en entornos de alta altitud y alta latitud. Se encuentra en zonas árticas y alpinas del Hemisferio Norte, pero es rara en los márgenes meridionales de su distribución. En Peligro Crítico en ciertas regiones debido al calentamiento climático, la pérdida de hábitat y la distribución restringida.
León
El felino salvaje más grande de Africa, el león puede alcanzar hasta 250 kg y es el único félido social, viviendo en manadas en sabanas y praderas del Africa subsahariana. Los machos se distinguen por sus icónicas melenas. Como depredadores apicales, regulan las poblaciones de herbívoros y mantienen el equilibrio del ecosistema. Clasificado como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y el conflicto entre humanos y vida silvestre.
