Habitat & Geographic Range

Gepard

Habitat

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.

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.

Douglasien-Röhrling

Habitat

Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.

Range

Found across Europe (8 countries).

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.

Douglasien-Röhrling

Suillus amabilis is a mycorrhizal bolete mushroom in the family Suillaceae, forming symbiotic associations with conifers, particularly pines. It produces colorful fruitbodies with a slimy cap surface and pores instead of gills on the underside, characteristic of the genus. Its mycorrhizal relationship is essential for nutrient exchange between fungus and host tree in forest ecosystems.
