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.

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.

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 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.
