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。

Enchylium bachmanianumは、湿潤な生息地の湿った岩石表面、土壌、苔の上に小さなゼリー状の葉状体を形成するゼラチン質の暗色シアノ地衣類です。葉状体内にシアノバクテリアの光合成共生体を含み、窒素固定が可能です。準絶滅危惧（NT）に指定されており、この目立たない地衣類はヨーロッパの分布域において、生息地の乾燥化、攪乱、安定した湿潤な微小生息地の喪失に敏感です。
