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。

Inocybe margaritisporaは大きなInocybe属の中で真珠状または疣状の胞子が際立つ小型の繊維質キノコである。温帯落葉樹林でブナ、オークや他の広葉樹と外生菌根共生関係を形成し、夏から秋に子実体が現れる。
