Disciseda candida es un pequeño gastromiceto similar a un bejín con cuerpo fructífero esférico aplanado de color blanco a crema que se desprende de su base subterránea al madurar. Habita suelos calcáreos y arenosos secos en ambientes estépicos y de pastizales secos en Europa central y oriental. Este hongo saprótrofo descompone materia orgánica en suelos de pastizales áridos y dispersa esporas cuando su peridio papiráceo se fragmenta.

Jirafa

La jirafa (Giraffa camelopardalis) es el animal terrestre más alto de la Tierra, puede alcanzar 5,5 metros de altura y pesar hasta 1.750 kg. Su elongado cuello, que contiene las mismas siete vértebras cervicales que todos los mamíferos, evolucionó para alimentarse de acacias en sabanas y bosques africanos. Animal social que vive en manadas sueltas, se comunica mediante infrasonidos y lenguaje corporal. Clasificada como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y la caza furtiva.
