Bamboo bear
O panda-gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) é um animal emblemático da China, célebre pela sua pelagem branca e preta e pela dieta baseada quase exclusivamente em bambu. Seu estado de conservação é vulnerável (VU), é o animal-bandeira da conservação internacional da vida silvestre e sua população apresentou alguma recuperação nos últimos anos.
Echinoderma calcicola é um cogumelo de tamanho médio com um chapéu pálido coberto de escamas escuras e pontiagudas e um estipe igualmente decorado, crescendo em pastagens calcárias e bordas de bosques na Europa. É considerado um indicador de habitats calcários antigos e ricos em espécies. Classificado como Em Perigo, esta espécie é gravemente ameaçada pela intensificação agrícola e pela perda de habitats de pastagem calcária.
