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。

Sclerotinia borealisはSclerotiniaceae科の菌類病原体で、寒冷気候下の草類や小規模な穀物に雪腐病を引き起こします。永続した積雪の下の氷点直上の気温で発育し、季節間に土壌中に残存する特徴的な黒い菌核を形成します。保全評価者により軽度懸念と評価されています。
