Jaguar

El felino más grande de las Américas, alcanzando hasta 100 kg con una constitución robusta y musculosa y un pelaje con rosetas características. Se encuentra desde México hasta América del Sur, con núcleos poblacionales en el Amazonas y el Pantanal. Nadadores poderosos y depredadores apex, los jaguares desempeñan un papel fundamental en la regulación de las poblaciones de presas. Categorizado como Casi Amenazado, su área de distribución se contrae debido a la deforestación.

Peniophorella echinocystis es un hongo corticiado clasificado como En Peligro Critico (CR), lo que refleja su extrema rareza y distribucion muy restringida. Crece como una fina costra resupinada sobre madera muerta en habitats de bosques maduros o antiguos. Su estado de peligro critico subraya la urgente necesidad de conservar bosques viejos con madera muerta en pie y caida.
