Coiled Cassia

The Coiled Cassia (Senna circinnata) is a shrubby legume in the family Fabaceae, native to inland arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, particularly the mulga woodlands and shrublands of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. The common name 'coiled cassia' refers to the distinctive spirally coiled seed pods that develop after flowering—a morphological feature unique among Australian Senna species and immediately recognisable in the field. Plants typically grow 0.5–2 metres tall, with pinnate leaves and bright yellow flowers characteristic of the genus Senna. Like other acacias and legumes in arid Australian landscapes, Senna circinnata contributes to nitrogen fixation in nutrient-poor desert soils through root nodule symbiosis with rhizobia bacteria, benefiting the broader plant community. The species is drought-tolerant and well-adapted to the seasonal rainfall and thin soils of inland Australia, regenerating vigorously after fire and disturbance. It is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN given its stable populations across a wide extent of occurrence within Australia's arid interior. Coiled Cassia provides browse for kangaroos and other herbivores and cover for small reptiles and birds in shrubland habitats.

jaguar

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
