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.

Mollisia ramealis es un pequeño hongo disco de color gris a gris olivaceo que produce apotecios en forma de copa sobre material vegetal herboxes y leñoso muerto. Habita bosques templados y setos de Europa, creciendo sobre ramitas y tallos muertos. Este ascomiceto saprotrofo descompone tejido vegetal muerto en ambientes humedos del sotobosque forestal.
