Habitat & Geographic Range

American Bald Eagle

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Cona Paa Frog

Habitat

Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.

American Bald Eagle

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Cona Paa Frog

<em>Nanorana conaensis</em>, commonly known as the Cona Paa Frog, is a small amphibian in the family Dicroglossidae, a diverse group of frogs distributed across South and East Asia. The genus Nanorana is characteristic of high-elevation Himalayan and Tibetan Plateau habitats, and <em>Nanorana conaensis</em> is presumed to occur in the Cona region of southeastern Tibet, China, where it likely inhabits cold freshwater streams, moist alpine meadows, and the margins of wetlands at considerable elevation. Like other paa frogs, it is presumed to be a generalist carnivore, typically consuming invertebrates such as insects, worms, and small crustaceans detected by sight near water. The species is currently classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN, reflecting the limited biological and distributional information available. Geographic range boundaries, population size, and population trend data remain unconfirmed, partly due to the remote and politically restricted nature of its presumed habitat on the Tibetan Plateau. Biological traits including average body size, lifespan, reproductive seasonality, and clutch size remain poorly documented in the primary scientific literature. Conservation threats potentially include habitat degradation from infrastructure development, climate-driven changes to alpine hydrology, and human disturbance in high-altitude wetland ecosystems.
