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。

Helvella corium は Helvellaceae 科のサドル菌類で、不規則に葉状の暗灰褐色から黒色の子嚢盤と波曲したサドル形の笠を生産します。秋に落葉樹林や混交林の土壌で、しばしば腐植質や落葉に半分埋まった状態で結実します。軽度懸念(LC)と評価され、この特徴的な種はヨーロッパ温帯と北米に分布しています。
