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.

Xylaria corniformis é um ascomiceto carbonáceo em forma de maça que produz estrómalos negros, firmes, em forma de chifre ou galho de veado, sobre madeira em decomposição em habitats florestais tropicais e subtropicais. É um decompositor saprotrófico de madeira que contribui para a degradação da lignocelulose nos ecossistemas florestais. Classificado como Em Perigo, as ameaças incluem o desmatamento tropical e a perda de habitats de floresta antiga.
