Habitat & Geographic Range

Chita

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.

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, temperate coniferous forests, and boreal forests and taiga, among 4 distinct biome types within the Palearctic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Norway, Sweden, and United States. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Chita

El guepardo es el animal terrestre más rápido de la Tierra, alcanzando velocidades de 112 km/h en distancias cortas en las praderas de África e Irán. Complexión esbelta con un pecho profundo, patas largas y distintivas marcas negras en forma de lágrima. A diferencia de otros grandes felinos, los guepardos vocalizan con chirridos y ronroneos. Vulnerable, con solo ~7.000 individuos restantes debido a la fragmentación del hábitat y la competencia con depredadores más grandes.

Chromosera cyanophylla is a species of waxcap mushroom in the family Hygrophoraceae, found in old-growth and semi-natural grasslands across temperate Europe. It is particularly notable for producing fruiting bodies with a striking blue-violet or lilac coloration in the gills and stipe, as reflected in its species name, which translates approximately to blue-violet gills. The cap may be pale to ochre and the gills retain vivid blue-violet hues that are distinctive among grassland fungi. Waxcap grasslands are ecologically sensitive habitats dependent on long continuity of traditional pastoral management without artificial fertilizers. The communities of specialist fungi that develop in these habitats — including waxcaps, earthtongues, and pinkgills — take decades to centuries to develop and are destroyed rapidly by any intensification of land management. Chromosera cyanophylla is a species of conservation interest in several European countries and is included in national red lists where its populations have been assessed. The ongoing conversion of traditionally managed meadows and pastures to improved agricultural land represents the principal threat to this and many related waxcap species across Europe.
