cloaked pug

The cloaked pug (Eupithecia abietaria) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across boreal and montane Europe, with populations extending from Scandinavia through the Alps and Carpathians into central Siberia. The adult wingspan measures approximately 20–25 mm, with the intricate grey, white, and dark cross-banded pattern typical of pug moths providing superb camouflage against spruce bark and lichen-covered surfaces. The species is closely associated with Norway spruce (Picea abies) and related conifers, whose developing cones serve as the principal larval foodplant. Larvae feed within the scales of ripening cones, making detection and study challenging. Adults fly in a single generation from June to August, active at night and attracted to light. The cloaked pug is characteristic of mature boreal coniferous forest and montane spruce woodland, habitats that have declined in extent across parts of Central Europe due to conversion to plantation forestry and changing forest management practices. Its conservation depends on the maintenance of naturally structured boreal and subalpine forests with abundant cone-bearing conifers.

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.
