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.

asimina

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Distributed across Canada, Japan, Sao Tome and Principe, and 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.

asimina

<em>Asimina triloba</em> is a small deciduous tree in the family Annonaceae, native to eastern North America, with records from Canada and the United States, and naturalized or cultivated occurrences in Japan and São Tomé and Príncipe. It is the northernmost member of the predominantly tropical custard apple family and produces the largest edible fruit native to North America. The species typically inhabits rich, moist bottomland forests, stream banks, and shaded woodland understories, forming clonal thickets through root suckering. Its flowers are pollinated by carrion flies attracted to their fetid odor, and fruits are consumed and dispersed by large mammals. The large, elongated fruits have a creamy, banana-like flesh with a complex tropical flavor. The IUCN classifies this species as Least Concern across its native North American range. <em>Asimina triloba</em> serves as the sole larval host plant for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body measurements, and detailed dietary ecology remain poorly documented in standardized databases. It has gained increasing commercial interest as a cultivated fruit tree in organic agriculture and sustainable food systems.
