Habitat & Geographic Range
Chita
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.
Collie Jacksonia
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
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.
Collie Jacksonia
<em>Jacksonia velveta</em>, commonly known as Collie Jacksonia, is a plant species belonging to the genus <em>Jacksonia</em> within the family Fabaceae. This species is classified as Endangered, reflecting significant concern over its population status and the ongoing threats it faces within its native range. It has been documented in terrestrial and freshwater-associated habitat types, suggesting association with diverse environmental conditions typical of its region. <em>Jacksonia</em> species are generally shrubs or small trees native to Australia, and members of this genus are frequently found in heathland and woodland communities where they contribute to ground-cover vegetation. Specific country-level records are not detailed in current documentation for this species. Dietary behavior is not applicable to plant organisms; however, like other legumes, <em>Jacksonia velveta</em> may engage in nitrogen fixation through root-associated symbioses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts for Endangered plant species such as <em>Jacksonia velveta</em> typically focus on habitat protection and restoration.
