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。

Nemania serpensは枯れ木、特に広葉樹の枝や丸太の表面に沿って這う平らで黒い地殻状の子座を形成する腐生子嚢菌である。ヨーロッパと北アメリカの温帯林全域で見られ、木材分解に役割を果たす。この種は落葉樹林においてより一般的に遭遇する木材生息子嚢菌の一つである。
