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 misella は Pilocarpaceae 科に属する痂状地衣類で、軽度懸念(LC)と評価されています。湿潤な森林環境の樹皮、腐朽木、その他の基質上に薄く粒状の葉状体と小さく凸型の子器(apothecia)を形成します。温帯林全体に広く分布しています。
