Cheetah

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 9 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Botswana, Iran, Kenya, Namibia, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

スルメイカ

Habitat

Native to Asia, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.

Range

Found in Taiwan.

Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

スルメイカ

<em>Todarodes pacificus</em> is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Ommastrephidae, order Oegopsida, commonly known as the Japanese flying squid or common flying squid. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. <em>Todarodes pacificus</em> is native to Asian waters, with documented occurrences including Taiwan, and is widely distributed across the northwestern Pacific Ocean. This species is one of the most commercially important squid species in the world, supporting major fisheries in Japan, China, and South Korea. It typically inhabits open ocean environments from the surface to mesopelagic depths, undertaking extensive diel vertical migrations. The common name refers to the ability of this species to leap from the water and briefly glide through the air, propelled by jets of water and using its fins and outstretched tentacles for lift — a behavior observed in several ommastrephid squids. Populations exhibit distinct migratory patterns linked to oceanographic conditions and spawning cycles. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
