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。

Scutellinia vitreolaPyronemataceae科の小さなカップ菌類で、属の診断形質である周縁に沿った剛毛状の黒い毛で縁取られた深紅色の円盤状の子嚢盤を形成します。湿潤な森林環境の湿った腐朽木材、湿った土壌、植物残滓に生育します。腐生の子嚢菌類として、林床のリグノセルロース材料の分解に貢献します。
