Distributed across China, India, Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

agróstide común

<em>Agrostis capillaris</em>, colonial bentgrass, is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae with an extensive native range across Europe and naturalised populations in North America, South America, and Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand. This species is highly adaptable, colonising tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate grasslands, disturbed soils, roadsides, and cultivated landscapes within the Neotropical realm. It is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Colonial bentgrass is a fine-leaved, low-growing species often used in lawn and sports turf applications due to its tolerance for close mowing and its capacity to form dense, even swards. Its panicle inflorescences bear numerous small spikelets on delicate, hair-like branches, giving the species a feathery appearance when in flower. In its naturalised range, <em>Agrostis capillaris</em> can become invasive, competing with native grass species in acid grasslands and open heathlands. The species tolerates acidic and nutrient-poor soils, attributes that contribute to its widespread persistence in degraded landscapes. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Leopardo

El leopardo es un gran felino muy adaptable con la distribución geográfica más amplia de todos los félidos, presente en Africa, Oriente Medio y el sur de Asia en hábitats que van desde la selva tropical hasta el desierto. Solitario y principalmente nocturno, el leopardo es un poderoso trepador que almacena sus presas en los árboles. Los individuos melanísticos, los panteras negras, son comunes en poblaciones de bosques densos. Clasificado como Vulnerable a nivel global.
