Clay Crest
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
gorilla
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Clay Crest
Clay-crest, Malacothrix saxatilis, is a perennial herb in the family Asteraceae native to coastal bluffs, chaparral, and rocky slopes of California and Baja California in the western United States and Mexico. The species forms sprawling to semi-erect stems with deeply lobed, grayish-green leaves and bears numerous pale white to cream-colored, dandelion-like flower heads with finely fringed ray florets. The common name refers to the chalky or clay-colored appearance of the foliage, which has a grayish, mealy texture due to fine pubescence. Clay-crest is characteristic of dry, rocky habitats, particularly coastal sage scrub and chaparral communities on calcium-rich soils of the California Floristic Province, one of the world's recognized biodiversity hotspots. The species is drought-tolerant, producing much of its growth and flowering during the cooler, wetter months of the California winter and spring before entering summer dormancy. Pollinators including bees and butterflies visit the flowers. Malacothrix saxatilis has several recognized varieties adapted to slightly different microhabitats along the Pacific coast. The species is not currently listed as threatened at the global level, though coastal development and habitat fragmentation threaten some local populations within the California Floristic Province.
gorilla
세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
