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。

Lepiota fuscovinaceaは、暗いワイン褐色のうろこ状のかさと淡色の茎を持つ小〜中型のキノコで、多くの種に致死性のアマトキシンを含むことで知られる属に属します。温帯ヨーロッパの広葉樹林や混交林に生育します。絶滅危惧(EN)に分類され、生息地の喪失や老齢林生息地の衰退により脅かされています。
