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.

Colombian Robber Frog

Pristimantis erythropleura, commonly known as the Colombian Robber Frog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus Pristimantis within the family Craugastoridae, the largest genus of vertebrates by species count globally. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating stable populations without immediate elevated extinction risk. It has been documented in Colombia, where it inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats typical of neotropical Andean and foothill ecosystems. Pristimantis frogs are direct-developing, bypassing a free-living tadpole stage entirely, with fully formed froglets hatching directly from terrestrially deposited eggs. This reproductive strategy confers independence from standing water for reproduction, enabling colonization of a wide range of humid forest microhabitats. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though pristimantid frogs typically consume a variety of small invertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Continued forest conservation in Colombia is important for maintaining habitat availability for Pristimantis erythropleura.
