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。

Coprinopsis kubickaeはナヨタケ科に属する小型のインクキャップキノコで、胞子放出時に傘が黒いインク状の塊に液化する自己消化菌類の属に属する。農地や森林の糞、藁、分解中の有機物に生育する。軽度懸念と評価され、ヨーロッパ温帯地域全体で見られる。
