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。

Leproplaca cirrochroa はTeloschistaceae科に属する固着地衣類で、準絶滅危惧（NT）と評価されています。栄養分に富んだ岩石表面や樹皮に生育し、沿岸や保護された生息地でしばしば見られます。同属の他の種と同様に、アントラキノン色素により鮮やかなオレンジ黄色の葉状体を形成します。
