giraffe

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。

Lecidella flavosorediata是一种在树皮和岩石表面形成淡黄色粉芽状地衣体的固壳地衣,粉芽赋予其粉末状外观。分布于欧洲等地的温带林地和灌丛生境。被列为数据不足(DD),需要进一步研究以厘清其分布、生态及保护需求。
