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.
Common Green Capsid
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Widely distributed across Asia (Taiwan), Europe (4 countries), and North America (Canada, United States).
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.
Common Green Capsid
<em>Lygocoris pabulinus</em>, commonly known as the common green capsid, is a plant bug belonging to the genus Lygocoris within the family Miridae. The species inhabits virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats, reflecting a generalist ecological strategy. Its documented range spans Taiwan in Asia, four European countries, and both Canada and the United States in North America. Common green capsid is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This small heteropteran is typically bright green in color and is associated with a wide variety of herbaceous and woody host plants, occasionally reaching pest status in agricultural settings where it damages soft plant tissue. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
