Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Clownfish

The ocellaris clownfish is famous from the movie Finding Nemo. They live in a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones.

giraffe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
