Collared Titi

The Collared Titi, known scientifically as <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em>, is a small New World monkey belonging to the family Pitheciidae. <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em> is characterised by its typically dense, soft fur and a pale or white collar or band around the neck and throat region, which gives the species its common and scientific names. Titi monkeys are generally arboreal and highly social, typically living in small family groups occupying territories in forested habitats. They are known for their distinctive pair-bonding behaviour and loud territorial vocalisations. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Titi is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

Common Brassy Ringlet

The common brassy ringlet (<em>Erebia cassioides</em>) is a butterfly species endemic to high-altitude mountain environments of central and southern Europe, with documented occurrences in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, and Italy. This species typically inhabits all terrestrial and freshwater environments within its alpine range, favoring subalpine and alpine grasslands at elevations often exceeding 1,500 meters. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a currently stable population status. As a member of the family Nymphalidae, the common brassy ringlet often feeds on grasses and sedges during its larval stage, while adult butterflies are typically found nectaring on alpine flowers. The species is often associated with calcareous grasslands and rocky slopes, where it can be seen flying in warm, sunny conditions during the summer months. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
