Habitat & Geographic Range
Gepard
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
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.
Olivgrauer Schirmling
Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.
Distributed across Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Gepard
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.
Olivgrauer Schirmling
Lepiota forquignonii is an agaric fungus in the family Agaricaceae, assessed as Data Deficient (DD). It is a small, scaly mushroom in a genus that includes several highly toxic species. Limited collection records make it difficult to fully assess its ecology and conservation needs.
