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。

角状炭角菌（Xylaria corniformis）是在热带和亚热带森林栖息地腐烂木材上产生坚硬角状或鹿角状黑色子座的棒状碳质子囊菌。是为森林生态系统木质纤维素分解做出贡献的腐生木材分解者。被列为濒危（EN），威胁包括热带森林砍伐和老龄林栖息地的丧失。
