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。

Xylaria corniformisは熱帯および亜熱帯林生息地の腐朽木材に硬く角状またはシカの角状の黒い子座を形成する棍棒形の炭質子嚢菌類です。森林生態系において木質セルロースの分解に貢献する腐生性木材分解菌です。絶滅危惧（EN）に分類されており、熱帯の森林破壊と原生林生息地の消失が脅威となっています。
