Bamboo bear

자이언트판다(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)는 중국 중부 산지 대나무 숲에 서식하는 흑백의 상징적인 곰으로, 몸무게는 최대 125kg에 달하며 하루 최대 14시간을 대나무 섭취에 소비합니다. 식육목에 속함에도 불구하고 식이의 99%가 대나무이며 대나무 줄기를 잡기 위한 위족지(의사 엄지)를 가집니다. 성공적인 보전 및 번식 프로그램 덕분에 2016년 위기(EN)에서 취약(VU)으로 하향 조정되었습니다.

Cladonia bellidiflora는 북극-고산 지대의 컵 이끼류로, 산성 토양과 암석 위에 기저 인엽층에서 돋아나는 붉은 끝부분의 수목체를 생성합니다. 북반구 북극 및 고산 지대에 분포하지만 남방 분포 경계에서는 희귀합니다. 기후 온난화, 서식지 손실, 제한된 분포로 인해 일부 지역에서 심각한위기(CR) 상태입니다.
