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.

Tulostoma fimbriatum es un hongo pedo pedunculado con un pequeño saco esporífero redondo elevado sobre un tallo esbelto, que crece en suelos secos, arenosos o calcáreos en hábitats abiertos como dunas, pastizales cortos y estepas en Europa y más allá. Libera esporas a través de una boca apical (peristoma). Clasificado como En Peligro, esta especie distintiva está amenazada por la pérdida de pastizales cortos y abiertos y la estabilización de arenas.
