Habitat & Geographic Range
Collett’s Tree Frog
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
Lobo gris
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Collett’s Tree Frog
<em>Polypedates colletti</em>, commonly known as Collett's Tree Frog, is a species belonging to the genus <em>Polypedates</em> within the family Rhacophoridae, a group of arboreal frogs distributed across South and Southeast Asia. This species inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetlands, where it typically takes refuge in vegetation near standing or slow-moving water bodies. Tree frogs in this genus are known for constructing foam nests in which eggs are deposited, often above water sources so that hatching tadpoles drop directly into the water below. The species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating that current population levels are not considered at elevated risk of decline, though habitat degradation in its range regions may pose future threats. Specific geographic countries of occurrence are not detailed in current records. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Further field studies are needed to fully characterize the ecology and distribution of <em>Polypedates colletti</em>.
Lobo gris
El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
