Green Sea Turtle

La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.

Physarum viride es un mixomiceto (moho de fango) de vibrantes colores que produce pequenos esporangios de color amarillo-verde brillante sobre materia organica en descomposicion que incluye madera muerta, hojas y hojarasca en habitats forestales. Como todas las especies de Physarum, pasa parte de su vida como un plasmodio multinucleado que se arrastra sobre sustratos para engullir particulas de alimento. Esta especie se encuentra en bosques humedos de zonas templadas y tropicales.
