Hygrophorus cossus é um fungo higrocíbico da família Hygrophoraceae, avaliado como Criticamente Em Perigo (CR). Cresce em habitats de floresta antiga, particularmente em associação com árvores antigas, e recebe seu nome por seu distintivo odor de sabão ou cera. Seu status criticamente em perigo reflete raridade extrema e a perda quase total do habitat de floresta antiga adequado.

Onca

O maior felino das Américas, atingindo até 100 kg com corpo robusto e musculoso e pelagem com padrão de rosetas característico. Encontrado do México até a América do Sul, com populações mais expressivas na Amazônia e no Pantanal. Nadadores poderosos e predadores de topo, os jaguares desempenham papel fundamental na regulação das populações de presas. Classificado como Quase Ameaçado, com sua área de ocorrência diminuindo devido ao desmatamento.
