Colonia Robber Frog

<em>Eleutherodactylus audanti</em>, the Colonia robber frog, is a direct-developing frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. Members of the genus <em>Eleutherodactylus</em> are notable for their direct development, bypassing the free-living tadpole stage entirely and hatching as miniature froglets from terrestrial eggs, a reproductive strategy that reduces dependence on standing water for breeding. This species inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist tropical forests, and wetland margins, occupying humid microhabitats within the leaf litter and understorey vegetation. The Vulnerable assessment reflects population declines associated with habitat loss, chytrid fungal disease, and potentially climate-driven changes in forest moisture regimes. Robber frogs in this genus feed opportunistically on small invertebrates encountered in their forest floor microhabitat. <em>Eleutherodactylus audanti</em> has not been confirmed from any specific country according to current records, suggesting either a highly restricted or poorly documented distribution. Conservation of moist forest habitats is considered essential to the long-term survival of this species. 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。
