Fly Agaric

광대버섯(Amanita muscaria)은 지구상에서 가장 상징적이고 잘 알려진 균류로, 북반구 한대림 전역에 걸쳐 흰 반점이 박힌 선명한 붉은 갓을 드러낸다. 동화 같은 외모와 달리 무스시몰과 이보텐산 등 강력한 향정신성 화합물을 함유하며 중등도 독성이 있다. 자작나무, 소나무, 가문비나무와 필수 외균근 공생 관계를 형성하여 무기 영양분을 탄소와 교환하며 한대림 영양 순환에 핵심 역할을 담당한다.

Tiger

지구상 가장 큰 야생 고양잇과 동물로, 무게가 300kg을 초과할 수 있으며 러시아 극동에서 동남아시아에 걸친 산림에 서식한다. 얼룩진 빛 속에서 위장 효과를 주는 독특한 주황색과 검정 줄무늬 털을 가진 단독 매복 포식자다. 밀렵과 삼림 파괴로 야생 개체수가 4,000마리 미만으로 감소한 심각한 위기(CR) 종이다.
