长颈鹿(Giraffa camelopardalis)是地球上最高的动物,身高可达5.5米,体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物,生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中,通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎,种群持续减少,被列为易危。

Helvella corium 是 Helvellaceae 科的马鞍菌,产生不规则叶状的暗灰褐色至黑色子囊盘,具有卷曲的马鞍形菌盖。秋季在阔叶林和混交林的土壤中结实,常半埋于腐殖质或枯叶中。被评估为无危(LC),这种独特的物种分布于欧洲温带地区和北美洲。
