giraffe
The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
Neottiella rutilans is a small, bright orange cup fungus growing on mossy and bare soil in temperate habitats. It inhabits mossy woodland banks, sandy heathlands, and acidic soils across temperate Europe and North America. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes plant debris and soil organic matter, fruiting in spring and autumn.
