Green Sea Turtle

A tartaruga-verde (Chelonia mydas) é uma das maiores tartarugas marinhas. Seu nome vem da cor verde da cartilagem e gordura, não do casco.

Lasiobolus cuniculi é um pequeno fungo-xícara peludo que produz ascocarpos em forma de disco, de cor marrom-alaranjada, cobertos de pelos rígidos. Cresce sobre fezes de coelhos e outros herbívoros em pastagens temperadas e áreas arborizadas da Europa e América do Norte. Este fungo saprotrófico coprófilo decompõe a matéria orgânica nos excrementos dos animais.
