gorilla
The world's largest primate, western gorillas weigh up to 180 kg and inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of equatorial Africa. Primarily herbivorous, living in family groups led by a silverback male who protects the troop and mediates social conflicts. Critically Endangered, with populations threatened by deforestation, poaching for bushmeat, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease.
Steccherinum lacerum is a tooth fungus in the family Polyporaceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It grows on dead wood of broadleaf trees, producing resupinate or semi-resupinate fruiting bodies with small, spine-like teeth. Its near-threatened status reflects sensitivity to the loss of large, fallen deadwood in managed forests.
