Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指（橈側種子骨）を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急（VU）へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

Echinoderma calcicolaはヨーロッパの石灰質草原や林縁で育つ中型のキノコで、淡色の笠に暗色の尖った鱗片が覆われ、柄も同様に装飾されています。古くから種の豊富な石灰質生息地の指標種とみなされています。絶滅危惧（EN）に分類されており、農業の集約化と石灰岩草原生息地の喪失により深刻な脅威にさらされています。
