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。

Sclerophora pallidaは欧州各地の保全状態の良い古木林の老木の樹皮に生育する希少な淡色のカリシオイドな地衣類または地衣類寄生菌です。森林生態系における生態的連続性の信頼できる指標種とみなされています。準絶滅危惧の状況は老木と原生林生息地の継続的な喪失に関連しています。
