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。

Hygrocybe turundaは乾燥した鱗状の傘表面が関連種と区別される小型の緋色〜橙赤色のロウヤハリキノコである。欧州温帯地域の改良されていない低栄養草地や苔むした芝地に生育する。この草地ロウヤハリキノコは生態的価値の高い長期無撹乱・無施肥草地生息地の指標となる。
