Colombian Robber Frog

Pristimantis erythropleura, commonly known as the Colombian Robber Frog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus Pristimantis within the family Craugastoridae, the largest genus of vertebrates by species count globally. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating stable populations without immediate elevated extinction risk. It has been documented in Colombia, where it inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats typical of neotropical Andean and foothill ecosystems. Pristimantis frogs are direct-developing, bypassing a free-living tadpole stage entirely, with fully formed froglets hatching directly from terrestrially deposited eggs. This reproductive strategy confers independence from standing water for reproduction, enabling colonization of a wide range of humid forest microhabitats. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though pristimantid frogs typically consume a variety of small invertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Continued forest conservation in Colombia is important for maintaining habitat availability for Pristimantis erythropleura.

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。
