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。

Entoloma neglectumは、科に特徴的な角張った桃色の胞子を持つ、繊細なEntoloma属の小型の茶褐色キノコです。温帯ヨーロッパの改良されていない草地と石灰質草原に生息します。この生態的に脆弱な菌類は古い草地土壌と関連しており、農業的改良に敏感です。
