Halsband-Springaffe

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 Forest Grape

<em>Rhoicissus tridentata</em> is a woody climbing plant in the family Vitaceae, order Vitales, commonly known as the common forest grape or bushman's grape. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. <em>Rhoicissus tridentata</em> is native to sub-Saharan Africa, where it typically grows in forest margins, thickets, rocky outcrops, and riverine woodlands. It climbs by means of tendrils, often scrambling over shrubs and into tree canopies. The plant produces small, dark purple to black berries that are edible and have been used as a food source by indigenous communities across its range. Leaves are trifoliate — composed of three leaflets — a feature reflected in the species epithet "tridentata." The roots of this species have been used in traditional medicine in southern Africa for a variety of ailments. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
