バチジア・ロセラ（Bacidia rosella）はラマリナ科の痂状地衣類で、IUCNレッドリストでは絶滅寸前（CR）に分類されている極希少種である。生態的継続性の長い老齢林の古木のなめらかな樹皮上にのみ生育し、適切な老齢樹木生育地がほぼ消失したことにより、生息地は極端に限定されている。老木の保護と自然林管理の廃止なくして本種の存続は困難な状況にある。

Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
