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.

Psathyrella pennata es un pequeno hongo agariceo fragil de la familia Psathyrellaceae, evaluado como En Peligro (EN). Crece sobre suelos chamuscados o madera carbonizada en habitats post-incendio, por lo que depende de eventos de perturbacion por fuego natural o gestionado. Su estado de especie en peligro refleja la escasez de sustratos perturbados por el fuego en paisajes gestionados.
