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。

Plicaria carbonaria是Pyronemataceae科的嗜火杯菌，特征性地在燃烧事件发生后在受火影响的地面和富含木炭的土壤上结实。其暗色、不规则扭曲的子囊盘在烧焦的基质上具有良好的伪装效果。被评估为无危，在北半球发生林地火灾的地方均有分布。
