Habitat & Geographic Range
Common Oak
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
Widely distributed across Africa (Lesotho, South Africa), Asia (Armenia, India), Europe (8 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia, New Zealand), and South America (4 countries).
giraffe
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Found in Ecuador. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Common Oak
ヨーロッパで最も重要かつ広く分布する落葉樹の一つであるイングリッシュオーク(Quercus robur)は、1,000年以上生き、高さ40mに達し、ヨーロッパのどの樹種よりも多くの生物多様性を支える。2,300種以上の昆虫・菌類・地衣類・苔・鳥類が成熟したナラに直接依存している。ヨーロッパ全域から西アジアにかけての温帯林に分布し、その硬くて耐久性のある木材は歴史的に造船・建築・樽製造に欠かせなかった。
giraffe
地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
