Range

Distributed across Brunei and Philippines.

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。

Common Green Frog/Green Paddy Frog/Leaf Frog

<em>Hylarana erythraea</em>, commonly known as the common green frog, green paddy frog, or leaf frog, is an amphibian belonging to the genus Hylarana within the family Ranidae. This species inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and coniferous forests within the Indomalayan realm, and is also found in montane and highland environments. Its documented range includes Brunei and the Philippines, reflecting a distribution across island Southeast Asia. Common green frog is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically occupies vegetation near standing or slow-moving water, where it is often found perching on leaves and stems above the water surface, a behavior consistent with its common name. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
