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.

Common Grass-veneer

<em>Agriphila tristellus</em>, commonly known as the common grass veneer, is a small moth belonging to the genus Agriphila within the family Crambidae. This species occupies virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats, suggesting a broad ecological tolerance within its range. Its documented distribution includes Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, indicating a range centered on northwestern and Scandinavian Europe. The species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting stable population status across its range. Common grass veneer moths typically inhabit grasslands and rough vegetation where larval foodplants are available. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
