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。

Tragopogon crocifolius是菊科(Asteraceae)植物,在开放干旱生境中纤细茎顶形成藏红花色至紫色头状花序,叶片似禾草。分布于地中海地区、岩石草原以及南欧和西亚的扰动地。被列为易危(VU),在其地中海分布区面临生境丧失、过度放牧和土地转用的威胁。
