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。

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
