Colima Peeping Frog

<em>Eleutherodactylus colimotl</em>, known as the Colima Peeping Frog, is a small frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is documented in Mexico, where it is associated with freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands. The genus <em>Eleutherodactylus</em> is one of the most species-rich vertebrate genera in the world, with members found predominantly in the Americas. Unlike many frogs, species in this genus undergo direct development, hatching from eggs as miniature froglets rather than passing through a free-living tadpole stage. <em>Eleutherodactylus colimotl</em> is named after the Colima state of Mexico, indicating its likely primary distribution in that region. Diet information, population estimates, and biological measurements such as average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in available records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its Least Concern status suggests that populations are currently stable within its Mexican range.

koala

オーストラリア東部・南東部を代表する有袋類で、体重は最大15kgに達し、低カロリーのユーカリの葉食から得るエネルギーを節約するために1日最大22時間を睡眠に費やす。他の哺乳類の多くを死に至らしめる有毒なユーカリ成分を処理するために高度に特化しており、解毒に特別に適応した腸内微生物叢を持つ。クラミジア感染症、生息地の伐採、気候変動により個体数が激減し、2022年に絶滅危惧種に指定された。
