Christmasbush

Christmasbush (Ceratopetalum gummiferum) is a small tree or large shrub in the family Cunoniaceae, native to New South Wales, Australia. It is perhaps the best-known plant associated with the Australian Christmas season, as its small white flowers are replaced in summer by persistent, enlarged, bright red sepals that give the plant a highly ornamental appearance around the Christmas period. The species grows naturally in dry to wet sclerophyll forests and woodlands on sandstone and related soils along the coast and tablelands of New South Wales. It is a popular cut flower and is harvested commercially and from private gardens throughout the state. The genus Ceratopetalum contains several species, all endemic to Australia and New Guinea. Christmasbush is also widely cultivated in gardens for its ornamental value. It plays a modest ecological role in woodland communities, supporting insects and birds. The species tolerates a range of soil conditions but generally performs best in well-drained, acidic soils. Its drought tolerance once established makes it suitable for low-water gardens. Harvesting of branches for the cut flower industry and garden collection has not significantly threatened wild populations, which remain widespread throughout suitable habitat in New South Wales.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
