giraffe
The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
Trapeliopsis pseudogranulosa is a crustose lichen with a granular, pale grey-green thallus forming patches on acidic soil and peat in open habitats. It inhabits heathlands, disturbed acidic soils, and sandy bare ground in temperate and boreal European environments. This lichen contributes to biological soil crusts in open, acidic terrestrial habitats.
