Cheetah

지구상 가장 빠른 육상 동물로, 아프리카와 이란의 초원에서 단거리 질주 시 시속 112km에 달하는 속도를 낸다. 깊은 가슴, 긴 다리, 독특한 흑색 눈물 줄무늬를 가진 날씬한 체형이 특징이다. 다른 대형 고양이과와 달리 치타는 지저귀는 소리와 그루링 소리를 낸다. 서식지 파편화와 대형 포식자와의 경쟁으로 인해 약 7,000마리만 남아 있으며 취약종으로 분류된다.

Colletotrichum dematium is a fungal species belonging to the genus Colletotrichum, a large and economically significant group of plant-pathogenic and endophytic fungi. Members of this genus are known to cause anthracnose diseases on a wide variety of plant hosts globally. Colletotrichum dematium has been documented across multiple continents, with recorded occurrences in Asia, including Taiwan and other regions, Europe, with records from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Portugal, and South America, specifically Brazil. This broad distribution reflects the species' ability to associate with diverse plant hosts across temperate and tropical agricultural and natural ecosystems. The species has not been formally evaluated for conservation status. As a fungal organism, it does not exhibit dietary behavior in the traditional sense but obtains nutrients through parasitic or saprotrophic interactions with plant material. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its presence across multiple continents and host species makes it a subject of ongoing study in plant pathology.
