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.

Rana De Ingle Roja

Habitat

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

Range

Found in Colombia.

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.

Rana De Ingle Roja

<em>Pristimantis erythropleura</em>, commonly known as the Colombian Robber Frog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus <em>Pristimantis</em> within the family Craugastoridae, the largest genus of vertebrates by species count globally. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating stable populations without immediate elevated extinction risk. It has been documented in Colombia, where it inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats typical of neotropical Andean and foothill ecosystems. Pristimantis frogs are direct-developing, bypassing a free-living tadpole stage entirely, with fully formed froglets hatching directly from terrestrially deposited eggs. This reproductive strategy confers independence from standing water for reproduction, enabling colonization of a wide range of humid forest microhabitats. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though pristimantid frogs typically consume a variety of small invertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Continued forest conservation in Colombia is important for maintaining habitat availability for <em>Pristimantis erythropleura</em>.
