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。

Ossicaulis lachnopusは柄の基部に毛があり白色から淡灰色の小型キノコで、ヒラタケに近縁ですが木材ではなく土壌に生育します。ヨーロッパ温帯域の落葉樹林・混交林の林床に生息し、森林土壌中の落ち葉や埋没有機物を分解する腐生菌です。
