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。

Mycena fagetorumはMycenaceae科に属する小型で繊細なキノコで、準絶滅危惧(NT)に評価されている。成熟したブナ林の生息地で腐敗したブナ(Fagus)の落ち葉や木質残渣の上に生育する。準絶滅危惧の地位は、伐採や土地転換により減少した攪乱されていないブナ林生態系への依存性を反映している。
