Habitat & Geographic Range
Cheetah
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Botswana, Iran, Kenya, Namibia, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
collared notchwort
Native to Europe and North America, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.
Distributed across Norway, Sweden, and United States.
Cheetah
지구상 가장 빠른 육상 동물로, 아프리카와 이란의 초원에서 단거리 질주 시 시속 112km에 달하는 속도를 낸다. 깊은 가슴, 긴 다리, 독특한 흑색 눈물 줄무늬를 가진 날씬한 체형이 특징이다. 다른 대형 고양이과와 달리 치타는 지저귀는 소리와 그루링 소리를 낸다. 서식지 파편화와 대형 포식자와의 경쟁으로 인해 약 7,000마리만 남아 있으며 취약종으로 분류된다.
collared notchwort
The Collared Notchwort, known scientifically as <em>Mesoptychia collaris</em>, is a liverwort belonging to the family Jungermanniaceae within the class Jungermanniopsida. <em>Mesoptychia collaris</em> is a bryophyte — a non-vascular land plant — and represents one of the leafy liverworts, characterised by flattened, leaf-like structures arranged along creeping stems. This species is associated with moist, shaded habitats typical of temperate regions, including areas of Europe and North America. It is reported to occur in Norway, Sweden, and the United States. Like other liverworts, <em>Mesoptychia collaris</em> plays a role in moisture retention and habitat structure in the ecosystems it inhabits. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan measures and physical dimensions are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Notchwort is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
