Habitat & Geographic Range

African elephant

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found in Kenya. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Colchic Kemulariella

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

African elephant

地球上最大の陸上動物であるアフリカゾウは体重7,000 kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナ、森林、湿地に生息する。成熟した雌が群れを率いる高度に知的な社会構造を持ち、超低周波音やうなり声、接触によって意思疎通する。木を引き倒したり水飲み場を掘ったり種子を散布したりすることで生態系を形成するエンジニア種だが、象牙の密猟や生息地の喪失により個体数は減少しており、危急（VU）とされている。

Colchic Kemulariella

Kemulariella colchica, known as Colchic Kemulariella, is a plant species assigned a Vulnerable status on the IUCN Red List. The genus Kemulariella belongs to the family Asteraceae, and the species epithet "colchica" again suggests origins in or around the Colchis region of the western Caucasus. The species is associated with diverse terrestrial habitats, spanning tropical to temperate environments, though no specific countries are documented in the available records. Without country-level occurrence data, the precise geographic range of Kemulariella colchica cannot be described accurately. Population estimates, population trend, diet, and biological measurements including average length, weight, and lifespan are absent from the available data. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its Vulnerable assessment signals concern about its long-term survival, likely related to habitat loss or restricted distribution. Further field research is needed to delineate the range, population dynamics, and ecological requirements of this species.
