Range

Found across Europe (7 countries) and North America (Canada, United States). Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

jaguar

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.

Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

filipendule

The Common Queen of the Meadow, <em>Filipendula vulgaris</em>, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Europe and introduced to North America. It typically grows in dry to moderately moist calcareous grasslands, chalk downs, road verges, and open scrublands on well-drained, alkaline or neutral soils in full sun or partial shade. The species produces a basal rosette of pinnate leaves with numerous small, deeply toothed leaflets interspersed with tiny intermediate leaflets, and erect flowering stems typically reaching 30 to 60 centimeters bearing dense, frothy clusters of creamy-white to pale pink flowers in early summer. Unlike its relative Meadowsweet (<em>Filipendula ulmaria</em>), it is a plant of drier habitats. <em>Filipendula vulgaris</em> has historically been used in traditional herbal medicine, and its tuberous roots contain compounds related to aspirin. It is an important nectar source for pollinators including bees and hoverflies. The species is assessed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, reflecting habitat loss through agricultural improvement and grassland degradation across parts of its range. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body size, and specific dietary preferences remain poorly documented for this species.

jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat. Found from Mexico through South America, with strongholds in the Amazon and Pantanal. Powerful swimmers and apex predators, jaguars play a critical role in regulating prey populations. Near Threatened, with range contracting due to deforestation.
