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 versatileは灰色、茶色、オリーブ色などの様々な色合いと属特有の桃色胞子紋を持つ小型から中型のEntolomatキノコです。温帯ヨーロッパ全土の草地、林縁、低木地に生息します。準絶滅危惧で、その希少性は農業集約化による古い改良されていない草地の減少と関連しています。
