Hydnellum compactum é um fungo denticulado estipitado, com uma superfície do chapéu compacta de cor laranja-acastanhada a marrom-ferrugem coberta de espinhos na face inferior. Cresce no chão florestal de florestas de coníferas na Europa e partes da América do Norte, formando associações ectomicorrízicas com árvores. Este fungo obtém nutrientes estabelecendo parcerias mutualísticas com as raízes de pinheiros, abetos e pinheiros-do-monte.

Leao

O maior felino selvagem da África, o leão pode atingir até 250 kg e é o único felídeo social, vivendo em grupos nas savanas e pastagens da África Subsaariana. Os machos se distinguem por suas icônicas juba. Como predadores de topo, regulam as populações de herbívoros e mantêm o equilíbrio do ecossistema. Classificado como Vulnerável devido à perda de habitat e ao conflito entre humanos e vida selvagem.
