chimpanzee

黑猩猩是人类最近的现生亲属，与人类共享约98.7%的DNA，栖息于中非和西非的热带森林和稀树草原林地。高度智慧的群居灵长类动物，能使用和制造工具，展示文化传统，并以丰富的发声进行交流，包括独特的喘叫声。由于森林砍伐、丛林肉猎杀和人类传播疾病，黑猩猩被列为濒危物种，种群持续减少。

Common Eyelash

The Common Eyelash (<em>Scutellinia scutellata</em>) is a small cup fungus belonging to the genus Scutellinia within the family Pyronemataceae. It is recognised by its distinctive scarlet to bright red disc-shaped fruiting body, typically measuring just a few millimetres across, and fringed with dark brown hair-like structures resembling eyelashes, from which its common name derives. This species is native to Asia and Europe and North America, and typically inhabits decomposing wood, moist soil, and other organic substrates in humid environments. Its geographic range is wide, with confirmed records across Asia including Taiwan, Europe including Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Portugal, North America including the United States, and South America including Brazil. <em>Scutellinia scutellata</em> is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting its broad distribution and apparent abundance. Biological traits such as lifespan, size, and specific dietary habits remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, though as a saprotrophic fungus it typically obtains nutrients by decomposing dead organic matter.
