Habitat & Geographic Range

ハクトウワシ

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).

Clown Frog

Habitat

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

ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

Clown Frog

The clown frog (Atelopus varius), also known as the harlequin frog or variable harlequin toad, is a small, vibrantly colored true toad in the family Bufonidae native to the premontane and montane rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama. Adults display bold black-and-yellow or black-and-orange aposematic patterns that warn predators of their skin toxins. Males typically measure 27–39 mm in snout-vent length and females slightly larger. The species inhabits fast-flowing streams in humid highland forests at elevations generally between 200 and 1,800 m, where breeding occurs in riparian zones. Atelopus varius was once common throughout its range but has suffered catastrophic population declines since the 1980s, primarily due to the chytrid fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which has driven mass mortality events in amphibians globally. Additional threats include habitat loss from deforestation and agricultural expansion. The species is listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Conservation programs involving captive breeding and disease-resistant population management are underway in Costa Rica and Panama in collaboration with international zoos.
