jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat.

Ramalina canariensis is a fruticose, strap-like lichen with pale grey-green, flattened lobes found in coastal and island habitats. It inhabits humid laurel forests and coastal fog zones of the Canary Islands and Macaronesian archipelago. This lichen obtains energy through its photosynthetic algal partner and is sensitive to habitat changes from deforestation and climate shifts.
