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

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.

Cobble Forget-me-not

Cobble forget-me-not (Myosotis schistosa) is a small annual or biennial herb in the family Boraginaceae, native to riverine and coastal habitats in parts of Europe, particularly associated with slate, shale, or schist substrates and disturbed gravelly or rocky ground. Like other Myosotis species, it bears the typical small, five-petalled blue flowers with a yellow eye that give forget-me-nots their widespread recognition. The genus Myosotis encompasses dozens of species distributed across Europe, Asia, North America, and the Southern Hemisphere, many of which are adapted to specific, often nutrient-poor or geologically specialised substrates. Cobble forget-me-not is assessed as Data Deficient by the IUCN, reflecting limited information on its distribution, population size, and ecology. Botanical surveys in appropriate habitats across its inferred range—particularly slate-rich riverbanks and coastal cobble in Europe—are needed to clarify its taxonomy, distribution, and conservation requirements. Like many small annual herbs in disturbed habitats, it may be locally common in suitable microsites but easily overlooked due to its small size and annual habit.

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.
