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。

Hypomyces porphyreusはボタンタケ科(Hypocreaceae)の子嚢菌類で、危急(VU)と評価されている。成熟した森林環境において他の菌類、特に皮革菌類の子実体上に生育する菌寄生体である。危急の状態は特定の宿主菌類と撹乱されていない老齢林条件への依存を反映している。
