Epaulard

イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ(Orcinus orca)は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。

Tulostoma fimbratumは、ヨーロッパ以外の地域を含む乾燥した砂質または石灰質土壌の開けた環境、砂丘、短草草地、ステップに生育する有柄のホコリタケ(スティルトボール)菌類です。細い柄の上に小さな丸い胞子嚢が乗り、先端の口部(外皮膜孔)から胞子を放出します。絶滅危惧種に分類されるこの独特な種は、短い開放的な草地の消失と砂の安定化による脅威にさらされています。
