Komodo Dragon

코모도왕도마뱀(Varanus komodoensis)은 현존하는 가장 큰 도마뱀이다. 인도네시아의 몇몇 섬에서만 서식한다.

Tuber maculatum은 흰색 또는 크림색 외피에 어두운 반점이 있어 얼룩덜룩한 외관을 지닌 지하 자실체 자낭균류로, '흰색 트러플' 또는 '얼룩 트러플'로도 불립니다. 유럽 온대 산림의 석회질 토양에 서식하며 참나무, 개암나무 등 활엽수와 외생균근 공생 관계를 형성합니다. 이 지하 균류는 나무 뿌리와 영양분 교환 관계를 맺고, 자신의 자극적인 향에 이끌린 굴 파는 동물에 의해 포자를 분산시킵니다.
