labando

The common gum cistus, <em>Cistus ladanifer</em>, is a flowering shrub belonging to the family Cistaceae. It is typically found across a broad range of countries including Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, and the United States, reflecting both its native distribution and introduced occurrences.

Its large white flowers with a distinctive dark spot at the base of each petal are a recognizable feature. No dietary information has been provided for this species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Su elongado cuello, que contiene las mismas siete vértebras cervicales que todos los mamíferos, evolucionó para alimentarse de acacias en sabanas y bosques africanos. Animal social que vive en manadas sueltas, se comunica mediante infrasonidos y lenguaje corporal. Clasificada como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y la caza furtiva.
