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。

Pycnora sorophoraは淡灰緑色から黄緑色の葉状体を持つ小型の殻状地衣類で、主な繁殖構造として粒状のソレジアを形成する。ヨーロッパの湿潤な温帯および亜寒帯林で古い針葉樹や滑らかな樹皮を持つ落葉樹の樹皮に生息する。この地衣類は安定した古い森林のミクロハビタットと関連している。
