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 Lesser Toad

<em>Rhinella granulosa</em>, commonly known as the common lesser toad, is a small amphibian belonging to the family Bufonidae. This species is native to Colombia and is typically found in freshwater ecosystems, moist tropical forests, and wetland habitats. It inhabits lowland and foothill environments where moisture is consistently available throughout the year. The common lesser toad is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that its populations are currently stable and not under significant threat. Like other members of the genus Rhinella, it is typically insectivorous, feeding on small invertebrates found in its humid forest floor environment. The species plays an important ecological role as both predator of insects and prey for larger animals within its native Colombian range. Its granular skin texture, referenced in its scientific name, provides some protection from predators. Population trends remain stable, and the species benefits from the relative abundance of suitable freshwater and forest habitats across its range in Colombia.
