Komodo Dragon

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

Tulostoma fimbriatum은 유럽 등지의 모래 또는 석회질 건조 토양과 사구, 단초 초지, 스텝 등 개방된 환경에서 자라는 자루달린 말뚝버섯류(스틸트볼)입니다. 가늘고 긴 자루 위에 작은 둥근 포자낭이 올려져 있으며, 끝 부분의 입(외피막)을 통해 포자를 방출합니다. 멸종위기종으로 분류된 이 독특한 종은 짧은 개방형 초지 서식지의 감소와 모래 안정화로 인한 위협에 처해 있습니다.
