Colombian Swamp Frog

Pseudopaludicola pusilla, the Colombian swamp frog, is a small anuran amphibian in the family Leptodactylidae, distributed across Colombia and Venezuela. This species inhabits freshwater ecosystems including marshes, flooded grasslands, seasonally inundated forests, and the margins of streams and ponds within moist forest biomes. Frogs of the genus Pseudopaludicola are characteristically tiny and highly active, often difficult to observe directly despite their occasionally conspicuous advertisement calls during the breeding season. Pseudopaludicola pusilla is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating that its populations are not currently considered at significant risk of decline across its range. As a small insectivore, this species feeds primarily on ants, mites, and other minute invertebrates, and serves as prey for a range of predatory vertebrates inhabiting its wetland and forest edge habitats. Seasonal flooding patterns strongly influence its reproductive activity and habitat availability. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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。
