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。

Hymenochaete cinnamomeaは枯れた広葉樹の樹皮上に復着〜半復着の子実体を形成するシナモン褐色の革質皮革菌類である。温帯・亜熱帯林に生育し、広葉樹種に褐色腐朽を引き起こして森林の養分循環に参加する。
