Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Botswana, Iran, Kenya, Namibia, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Fahad Sayad (الفهد الصياد)

The fastest land animal on Earth, reaching speeds of 112 km/h over short distances across African and Iranian grasslands. Slender build with a deep chest, long legs, and distinctive black tear-stripe markings. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs vocalize with chirps and purrs. Vulnerable, with only ~7,000 remaining due to habitat fragmentation and competition with larger predators.

Methanococcus voltae is a mesophilic methanogenic archaeon in the family Methanococcaceae, notable for being one of the first methanogens for which genetic transformation was developed. It inhabits marine sediments and produces methane by reducing carbon dioxide with hydrogen as the electron donor. Its model organism status has made it instrumental in unraveling fundamental aspects of archaeal cell biology and genetics.
