Colombian Stubfoot Toad

Atelopus minutulus, the Colombian stubfoot toad, is a critically endangered harlequin toad in the family Bufonidae, endemic to Colombia. This species is assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, placing it among the most threatened amphibians in the world. Like many members of the genus Atelopus, it has suffered severe population declines attributed primarily to the lethal chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, compounded by habitat destruction and climate change. The species occupies tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, dry broadleaf forests, and grassland and savanna habitats, suggesting broader ecological tolerance than many congeners. Stubfoot toads are characteristically diurnal and are often associated with stream margins in humid forest environments, where males typically call from rocks or vegetation near fast-flowing water. Their bright colouration in some Atelopus species signals toxicity, though the extent of toxicity in A. minutulus is not well established. Conservation efforts for Colombian stubfoot toads include captive breeding programmes and disease-resistance research. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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。
