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。

Ochrolechia subviridisは、海洋性および山岳性生息地の珪酸岩と樹皮に厚みのある緑灰色から白色の斑点を形成する殻状地衣類である。淡く粉霜状の表面を持つ円盤状の子実体を生産し、ウスニン酸化合物を含有する。脆弱な状況は、限られた分布域における生息地変化と大気汚染への感受性を反映している。
