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.

Rhodocollybia prolixa es un hongo saprofito con sombrero de color marron palido y un largo estipe fibroso, que crece sobre hojarasca en descomposicion y restos lenoosos en bosques templados europeos. Contribuye a la descomposicion de la materia organica en el suelo forestal. Clasificada como Vulnerable, esta especie esta amenazada por la perdida de habitat y los cambios en la gestion forestal que reducen la acumulacion de hojarasca organica.
