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。

Hebeloma fragilipes は、淡い褐色から黄土色の笠と特有の壊れやすい柄を持つ小さく細い柄のキノコで、種名がここから由来しています。ヨーロッパ全域の草地、荒野、林縁で様々な樹木や低木と菌根関係を形成して成長します。多くの Hebeloma 種と同様に、かすかな大根のような臭いがあり、軽度に有毒とみなされています。
