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。

Trechispora microsporeはその名の通り非常に小さな胞子を産生する皮殻状菌である。温帯および亜寒帯林で腐朽広葉樹・針葉樹の丸太の下面に薄い白色〜クリーム色の被殻として生育する。この腐生菌は枯れた木質材料を分解し、森林生態系の栄養素循環に寄与する。
