Habitat & Geographic Range
Common Marsupial Frog
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
Found in Venezuela. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
jaguar
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
Common Marsupial Frog
<em>Gastrotheca ovifera</em>, the common marsupial frog, is a tree frog in the family Hemiphractidae, endemic to Venezuela. It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting population declines associated with habitat loss and degradation. This species is typically found in freshwater environments, moist montane forests, and wetland habitats within Venezuela's highlands. The common marsupial frog takes its name from the female's dorsal brood pouch, in which fertilized eggs are carried and develop until the young emerge as advanced tadpoles or juvenile froglets. This reproductive adaptation reduces dependence on standing water for larval development and provides protection for the developing young. Like other members of the family Hemiphractidae, this species is associated with humid forest environments where moisture is reliably available. Deforestation and agricultural expansion in Venezuela's montane forest habitats represent significant threats to this and related species. Detailed data on population estimates, lifespan, and body measurements for this species remain limited in current 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。
