common fanflower

The common fanflower (<em>Scaevola aemula</em>) is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Scaevola within the family Goodeniaceae. It is characterised by its fan-shaped flowers, which are distinctive in having all five petals arranged on one side of the bloom, giving the appearance of a half-flower. This morphology is typical of the Scaevola genus and results from a zygomorphic floral structure. The species is typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats ranging from tropical forests to temperate regions, and is distributed across Belgium, Brazil, Sweden, and Taiwan. It is native to Australia, where it often grows in coastal areas, sandy soils, and open scrublands. <em>Scaevola aemula</em> has not been evaluated under IUCN criteria. Biological traits of this species, including specific data on lifespan, body dimensions, and dietary requirements, remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The species is widely cultivated as an ornamental garden plant owing to its attractive and unusual flowers and tolerance of dry, sandy conditions.

Harimau

The largest wild cat on Earth, tigers can exceed 300 kg and inhabit forests from the Russian Far East to Southeast Asia. Solitary ambush predators with distinctive orange and black striped coats that provide camouflage in dappled light. Critically endangered, with fewer than 4,000 remaining in the wild due to poaching and deforestation.
