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.

Volvariella caesiotincta es un hongo agaricáceo de la familia Pluteaceae, evaluado como Vulnerable (VU). Crece sobre material leñoso muerto y se distingue por su volva (copa basal) y láminas rosadas en la madurez. Su estado vulnerable refleja la pérdida de hábitat y la escasez de madera en descomposición apropiada en paisajes gestionados.
