giraffe

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found in Ecuador. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Chromosera citrinopallida is a species of waxcap mushroom in the family Hygrophoraceae, found in old-growth grasslands and woodland pastures in Europe. Waxcap fungi of the family Hygrophoraceae are characteristic species of unimproved grasslands that have not been subject to fertilization, plowing, or herbicide application for many decades. These grassland waxcap communities are considered indicators of high ecological value and ancient, undisturbed grassland continuity. The fruiting bodies of Chromosera citrinopallida are small and typically display pale yellowish or citrine coloration, as suggested by the specific epithet. Waxcap grasslands of northern and western Europe, including those in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and the Baltic states, support exceptional diversity of fungi including waxcaps, earthtongues, and clavarioid species, and are recognized as priority habitats for conservation. Chromosera citrinopallida, like many specialist grassland fungi, is sensitive to changes in soil chemistry caused by fertilizer application, which alters fungal community composition and eliminates specialist species. The species is likely to have declined alongside the widespread loss of traditional meadow and pasture management across Europe during the twentieth century.

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン（Giraffa camelopardalis）は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
