Range

Distributed across Colombia and Venezuela.

Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指（橈側種子骨）を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急（VU）へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

Colombian Frog

Leptodactylus colombiensis, commonly known as the Colombian Frog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus Leptodactylus within the family Leptodactylidae, a diverse group of neotropical frogs. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, suggesting that its populations are currently stable and not at heightened extinction risk. It has been documented in Colombia and Venezuela, where it inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats. Members of the genus Leptodactylus are known for constructing foam nests in which eggs are deposited, a reproductive strategy that protects developing embryos from desiccation and predators. These frogs are generally associated with humid lowland and foothill environments near water bodies. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though leptodactylid frogs typically prey on invertebrates and small vertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Continued monitoring of habitat conditions in Colombia and Venezuela will be important for ensuring the long-term persistence of Leptodactylus colombiensis.
