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。

Phaeographis dendritica は滑らかな樹皮に淡い白色の斑点を形成し、独特の樹状分枝したリレラ子嚢盤を持つ樹皮生殻状地衣類である。湿潤で日陰の温帯林地、特に海洋性地域の老齢林に生息する。危急種（VU）に分類され、生息地の喪失と古い未撹乱の林エコシステムの減少に脅かされている。
