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。

Phaeocollybia arduennensis は Hymenogastraceae 科の深根性傘菌類で、絶滅危惧種(EN)と評価されている。老齢の針葉樹林および混交林で育ち、土壌深くに根差した先細りの仮根を持つ独特の黄褐色の円錐形の傘を形成する。絶滅危惧種の状態は、腐植質が豊富な深い土壌を持つ未撹乱の成熟した森林への依存を反映する。
