Habitat & Geographic Range
coastal primrose
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
Distributed across Canada, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
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.
coastal primrose
Coastal primrose (Primula stricta) is a small perennial herb in the family Primulaceae, distributed across Arctic and subarctic coastal habitats in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Svalbard, and northern Russia. It grows on rocky shores, coastal meadows, salt marshes, and gravelly riverbanks at high latitudes, often in areas subject to periodic saltwater inundation or spray. Plants produce a basal rosette of oblong, slightly mealy leaves and erect scapes bearing small, pale pink to lilac flowers with a yellow eye, typical of the genus. Primula stricta is one of the northernmost-occurring primroses, adapted to the short growing seasons and cold temperatures of the high Arctic. It relies on insect pollination when conditions allow, though like many Arctic plants, it may set seed through self-fertilisation. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations spread across a vast circumpolar range. It faces long-term pressure from climate change, which is altering the phenology and hydrology of Arctic coastal habitats. It is considered an indicator species for intact high-latitude coastal ecosystems.
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。
