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.
Steccherinum lacerum es un hongo denticulado de la familia Polyporaceae, clasificado como Casi Amenazado (NT). Crece sobre madera muerta de arboles de hoja caduca, produciendo cuerpos fructiferos resupinados o semiresupinados con dientes pequenos en forma de espina. Su estado casi amenazado refleja su sensibilidad a la perdida de troncos caidos de gran tamano en bosques gestionados.
