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。

Volvariella volvaceaは「ワラ茸」とも呼ばれ、熱帯アジアで数千年にわたって栽培されてきた独特の托、灰褐色の傘、ピンク色のひだを持つ中型キノコです。東南アジアおよび東アジアの熱帯・亜熱帯地域で、稲藁、堆肥、腐植植物残渣上に生育します。この腐生菌は特に稲藁などの農業残渣を分解し、食用キノコとして広く栽培されています。
