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。

Micarea lithinella は岩石表面に微小な子器を形成する淡色の顆粒状地衣体を持つ小型の痂状地衣類である。ヨーロッパ全域の冷温帯および亜高山帯環境の珪質岩面と石垣に生息する。この地衣類は裸の酸性岩石表面や風化した鉱物基質へのコロニー形成を行う。
