gray wolf

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Chrysoprase Mallee

The Chrysoprase Mallee (Eucalyptus repullulans) is a small, multi-stemmed mallee eucalyptus endemic to the southwestern corner of Western Australia. It grows in the mallee form characteristic of many Eucalyptus species in nutrient-poor, drought-prone environments: multiple lignotuberous stems arise from a swollen root crown (lignotuber), allowing rapid resprouting following wildfire or mechanical damage. E. repullulans typically inhabits sandy soils on heathlands and sandplains, often in association with kwongan vegetation dominated by Proteaceae and Myrtaceae. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, suggesting stable populations not currently under acute threat. Like many Western Australian mallees, it produces small to medium-sized white or cream flowers that provide nectar and pollen resources for native bees, honeyeaters, and other pollinators. The lignotuber enables long-term survival and regeneration in fire-prone landscapes typical of the Australian Mediterranean climate zone. Mallee eucalypts are ecologically important as structural vegetation components in landscapes where taller trees cannot establish. Conservation of Eucalyptus repullulans is supported through the broader protection of Southwest Australian Floristic Region habitats, one of the world's biodiversity hotspots.

가장 넓은 분포 범위를 가진 야생 갯과 동물인 회색늑대는 북아메리카에서 유라시아에 걸쳐 툰드라, 숲, 초원 등 다양한 서식지에 분포합니다. 우세한 번식 쌍이 이끄는 가족 단위 무리를 이루어 생활하는 고도로 사회적인 동물입니다. 최상위 포식자로서 먹이 개체군을 조절하고 생태계 구조를 근본적으로 형성하는데, 옐로스톤에서의 재도입 사례가 이를 잘 보여줍니다. 한때 심각하게 박해받았으나 많은 지역에서 개체군이 회복 중입니다.
