Common Yellow Wood-Sorrel
<em>Oxalis dillenii</em>, the common yellow wood sorrel or slender yellow wood sorrel, is a small annual to short-lived perennial herbaceous plant in the family Oxalidaceae. It is native to eastern North America and has been introduced to many parts of Europe, Asia, and other temperate regions, where it occurs as a weed of cultivated ground, roadsides, waste places, lawns, and disturbed habitats. The plant typically grows 10–35 cm tall and produces trifoliate leaves with three notched, heart-shaped leaflets that fold downward in darkness or heat. Small bright yellow flowers with five petals are produced from spring through autumn. The cylindrical seed pods eject seeds forcibly at maturity. Biological traits such as average lifespan and body measurements remain poorly documented in consolidated scientific literature. Like other Oxalis species, <em>Oxalis dillenii</em> contains oxalic acid, giving leaves a sour taste and making them mildly toxic when consumed in large quantities. The plant provides nectar for small generalist pollinators. It has not been formally evaluated for IUCN conservation status but is considered common and widespread with no conservation concerns across its introduced and native ranges.
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.
