Christmas-bells

Christmas bells (Blandfordia grandiflora) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Blandfordiaceae, endemic to eastern Australia. It is one of four species in the genus Blandfordia, all restricted to Australia, and is perhaps the most widely recognized, flowering during the summer months of the Southern Hemisphere, which correspond to the Christmas season. The species produces striking pendulous, bell-shaped flowers in red and yellow, borne on upright stems emerging from tufted grass-like leaves. It grows primarily in coastal and near-coastal heathlands and wet sedgelands of New South Wales and southern Queensland, favoring waterlogged, nutrient-poor soils. Christmas bells are adapted to fire-prone ecosystems and often flower most prolifically following fire events that stimulate regeneration. The flowers are visited by honeyeaters and other nectarivorous birds, which serve as pollinators. Historically, Christmas bells were widely collected as cut flowers, and this exploitation significantly reduced some populations. Today, the species is protected under New South Wales legislation, and collection from the wild is prohibited. Habitat loss from urban expansion and altered hydrology also affects populations. The plant has cultural significance in Australia as a symbol of the summer Christmas season.

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
