Lion

アフリカ最大の野生ネコ科動物で最大250kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナや草原に生息する唯一の社会性ネコ科動物です。雄は象徴的なたてがみで識別されます。頂点捕食者として草食動物の個体群を調節し、生態系のバランスを維持します。生息地の喪失と人間との軋轢により危急種に分類されています。

Nostoc calcicolaは、湿った石灰岩岩盤表面、土壌、石垣にゼラチン状の濃緑色から黒色に近いコロニーを形成する糸状の窒素固定シアノバクテリアである。温帯および地中海地域、特にカルシウム豊富な基質を持つ湿潤生息地に分布する。危急種に分類されるこの種は、生息地の消失、都市開発、石灰岩岩盤微小生息地の劣化により脅威にさらされている。
