Habitat & Geographic Range

Águila cabeza blanca

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Rana Marsupial

Habitat

Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.

Range

Found in Venezuela. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Águila cabeza blanca

El ave nacional de los Estados Unidos y símbolo del éxito conservacionista americano, el águila cabeza blanca tiene una envergadura de hasta 2,4 metros y habita bosques y humedales próximos a aguas abiertas en toda Norteamérica. Casi extinta en la década de 1960 por el envenenamiento con DDT y la caza, se recuperó de forma notable gracias a las prohibiciones de pesticidas y la Ley de Especies en Peligro.

Rana Marsupial

<em>Gastrotheca ovifera</em>, the common marsupial frog, is a tree frog in the family Hemiphractidae, endemic to Venezuela. It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting population declines associated with habitat loss and degradation. This species is typically found in freshwater environments, moist montane forests, and wetland habitats within Venezuela's highlands. The common marsupial frog takes its name from the female's dorsal brood pouch, in which fertilized eggs are carried and develop until the young emerge as advanced tadpoles or juvenile froglets. This reproductive adaptation reduces dependence on standing water for larval development and provides protection for the developing young. Like other members of the family Hemiphractidae, this species is associated with humid forest environments where moisture is reliably available. Deforestation and agricultural expansion in Venezuela's montane forest habitats represent significant threats to this and related species. Detailed data on population estimates, lifespan, and body measurements for this species remain limited in current scientific literature.
