Cheetah

猎豹是地球上奔跑最快的陆地动物，在非洲和伊朗草原上短距离冲刺速度可达112千米/小时。体型纤细，胸深腿长，具有标志性的黑色泪纹。与其他大型猫科动物不同，猎豹以吱鸣声和咕噜声交流。由于栖息地碎片化和与更大型捕食者的竞争，猎豹被列为易危，野外仅剩约7,000只。

Chromosera citrinopallida is a species of waxcap mushroom in the family Hygrophoraceae, found in old-growth grasslands and woodland pastures in Europe. Waxcap fungi of the family Hygrophoraceae are characteristic species of unimproved grasslands that have not been subject to fertilization, plowing, or herbicide application for many decades. These grassland waxcap communities are considered indicators of high ecological value and ancient, undisturbed grassland continuity. The fruiting bodies of Chromosera citrinopallida are small and typically display pale yellowish or citrine coloration, as suggested by the specific epithet. Waxcap grasslands of northern and western Europe, including those in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and the Baltic states, support exceptional diversity of fungi including waxcaps, earthtongues, and clavarioid species, and are recognized as priority habitats for conservation. Chromosera citrinopallida, like many specialist grassland fungi, is sensitive to changes in soil chemistry caused by fertilizer application, which alters fungal community composition and eliminates specialist species. The species is likely to have declined alongside the widespread loss of traditional meadow and pasture management across Europe during the twentieth century.
