Habitat & Geographic Range

Cheetah

Habitat

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.

Range

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.

Common Newtonia

Habitat

Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

Range

Found in Norway.

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 Newtonia

<em>Newtonia brunneicauda</em>, the common newtonia, is a small passerine bird in the family Vangidae, endemic to the island of Madagascar. This insectivorous bird typically inhabits humid and subhumid forests, forest edges, and secondary vegetation in the eastern and northern parts of Madagascar. <em>Newtonia brunneicauda</em> forages actively in the mid-storey and understorey, gleaning insects and other small invertebrates from foliage and branches. Its geographic range is largely restricted to Madagascar, though occurrence data in the source records lists Norway, which may reflect a sampling artifact rather than the species' actual distribution. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered relatively stable despite ongoing forest loss in Madagascar. Biological traits such as lifespan, body size, and diet remain poorly documented at a population level for this species. The common newtonia is a characteristic component of Madagascar's endemic forest bird community and is considered an indicator of relatively intact forest habitat. Its conservation is linked to the preservation of Madagascar's remaining tropical forests, which face significant pressure from slash-and-burn agriculture and timber extraction.
