Eburiko

Fomitopsis officinalis はFomitopsidaceae科の多孔菌で絶滅危惧（EN）と評価されている。特にカラマツなどの古い針葉樹に大型で多年生の白亜白色の子実体を形成し、古代から薬用として使用されてきた。絶滅危惧の状態は、分布域内の老齢針葉樹林の深刻な減少を反映している。

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。
