Cluster Sanicle

Sanicula odorata, the cluster sanicle, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Apiaceae native to eastern North America, found from southern Canada through the eastern United States. It inhabits rich mesic deciduous forests, floodplain woods, and moist shaded slopes where it thrives in deep, well-drained to moderately moist soils rich in organic matter. The plant produces deeply palmate compound leaves arising from basal rosettes and sends up slender flowering stems bearing small umbels of white or cream flowers clustered in tight heads, giving the species its common name. As with many Apiaceae members, the flowers attract a wide range of small pollinators including native bees, flies, and beetles. Sanicula odorata is considered Not Evaluated by the IUCN, though it is present across a substantial geographic area and not considered at risk across most of its range. The genus Sanicula, known as sanicles or black snakeroots, comprises approximately 40 species distributed globally. Several sanicle species have traditional medicinal uses; S. odorata has a faint pleasant scent noted in its specific epithet. The plant typically blooms in late spring and early summer, and its hooked fruits cling to passing animals and clothing for dispersal, a strategy known as epizoochory.

jaguar

アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。
