Habitat & Geographic Range
Christine’s Grevillea
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
jaguar
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
Christine’s Grevillea
Christine's grevillea (Grevillea christineae) is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to Western Australia. Grevillea is one of the largest genera in Proteaceae, with over 350 species distributed primarily across Australia. Christine's grevillea, like many members of this diverse genus, is adapted to the nutrient-poor soils and dry, fire-prone landscapes of southwestern Australia, one of the world's recognized biodiversity hotspots. Grevillea species typically produce distinctive spider flower or toothbrush-style inflorescences rich in nectar, making them important resources for honeyeaters, lorikeets, and other nectarivorous birds and insects. The genus exhibits remarkable diversity in flower color, leaf shape, and growth form, ranging from low ground covers to small trees. Christine's grevillea is a limited-range endemic, and like many narrow-range Western Australian species, it faces potential threats from habitat clearing, altered fire regimes, and invasive species such as Phytophthora cinnamomi, a water mold that devastates Proteaceae-dominated vegetation. Western Australia's Banksia woodlands and kwongan heathlands support extraordinary concentrations of endemic plant life, and the conservation of such habitats is critical for species like Christine's grevillea. The species has not been widely assessed but warrants monitoring given its restricted distribution.
jaguar
アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。
