Oso Polar

El mayor carnivoro terrestre de la Tierra, el oso polar puede superar los 700 kg y se encuentra en el hielo marino del Artico, desde Canada hasta Rusia. Es un mamifero marino altamente especializado que depende del hielo marino para cazar focas anilladas y barbadas. Excelente nadador capaz de cubrir grandes distancias en agua abierta. Clasificado como Vulnerable, sus poblaciones soportan una presion severa por la rapida perdida de hielo marino artico debida al cambio climatico.

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.
