Common Cusimanse

<em>Crossarchus obscurus</em>, commonly known as the common cusimanse or long-nosed cusimanse, is a small social mongoose in the family Herpestidae. This species is native to the rainforests and dense tropical forests of West and Central Africa. Common cusimanses are highly social animals that typically live in family groups and forage cooperatively on the forest floor, using their elongated, flexible snouts to root through leaf litter and soil in search of invertebrates, small vertebrates, and fallen fruits. They communicate through a variety of vocalizations and are known to mob and harass potential predators. The species is diurnal and terrestrial, sheltering in burrows or dense vegetation at night. Common cusimanses are assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered stable across their range. Biological traits such as lifespan and body measurements remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Coprinopsis stercorea는 종명이 암시하듯 초식동물의 분변과 거름이 많은 토양에서 자라는 소형 먹물버섯이다. 유럽과 북아메리카 온대 지역의 목장, 마구간, 분변이 있는 숲에 서식한다. 이 분변성 부생균류는 분변 유기물을 분해하고 포자가 성숙하면 갓을 자가소화한다.
