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。

Lecanographa lynceaは、原生林の古い老齢木の樹皮上に生育する希少な固着地衣類です。細長い線形子嚢盤を形成し、ヨーロッパにおいて未撹乱の長期継続性森林生態系を示す最も敏感な指標種の一つとされています。絶滅寸前（CR）に分類され、生息地の喪失、老齢木の衰退、大気汚染により深刻な脅威にさらされています。
