Bobr Kanadskii

The largest rodent in North America, Canadian beavers weigh up to 32 kg and are master ecosystem engineers inhabiting rivers, lakes, and wetlands across Canada and the northern United States. By felling trees and constructing dams up to hundreds of meters long, beavers create ponds that provide habitat for hundreds of species. Their lodges and canals transform entire watersheds. Once nearly hunted to extinction for their fur, beaver populations have recovered strongly.

Physarum leucopus is a myxomycete (plasmodial slime mould) in the family Physaridae, producing sporangia with pale or whitish stalks as implied by its species name. It is found on decaying wood and plant litter in moist forest environments. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
