Polar bear

地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。

Tulostoma fimbratumは、ヨーロッパ以外の地域を含む乾燥した砂質または石灰質土壌の開けた環境、砂丘、短草草地、ステップに生育する有柄のホコリタケ(スティルトボール)菌類です。細い柄の上に小さな丸い胞子嚢が乗り、先端の口部(外皮膜孔)から胞子を放出します。絶滅危惧種に分類されるこの独特な種は、短い開放的な草地の消失と砂の安定化による脅威にさらされています。
