Tigre

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Colombia and Ecuador. Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Chrysochromulina rotalis is a marine haptophyte alga in the family Prymnesiaceae. Its specific epithet may reference the circular or rotating arrangement of scales observed on the cell surface. Like all Chrysochromulina species, cells are biflagellate and equipped with a haptonema — the coiling, three-membrane appendage unique to haptophytes. Organic scales of species-specific morphology cover the outer cell surface, constituting the primary taxonomic diagnostic feature for species identification within this morphologically similar genus. C. rotalis inhabits the photic zone of coastal marine and shelf waters, particularly in temperate and subarctic seas. The genus as a whole is a dominant component of the haptophyte nanoplankton community in North Atlantic and Arctic waters. Some congeners are capable of sustained bloom formation under conditions of thermal stratification and elevated nutrient availability. Chrysochromulina blooms have ecological consequences for marine food webs and, in the case of toxic species, for fisheries and aquaculture. The IUCN has not assessed the conservation status of C. rotalis, and the species remains Not Evaluated. Its ecology, physiology, and population genetics across oceanic regions are incompletely documented.

Tigre

El felino mas grande del mundo, el tigre puede superar los 300 kg y habita bosques desde el Extremo Oriente ruso hasta el Sudeste Asiatico. Es un depredador solitario de emboscada con su caracteristico pelaje naranja y negro a rayas que proporciona camuflaje entre la luz filtrada. Esta en Peligro Critico, con menos de 4.000 individuos que quedan en estado silvestre debido a la caza furtiva y la deforestacion.
