Clouded Leopard
최대 26kg까지 자라는 중형 야생 고양이인 구름표범은 히말라야 동부에서 동남아시아를 거쳐 보르네오에 이르는 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식합니다. 독특한 구름 모양의 털무늬로 이름 붙여진 이 종은 야생 고양이 중 두개골 크기 대비 가장 긴 송곳니를 가지며 나무를 머리 아래로 내려올 수 있는 뛰어난 등반가입니다. 산림 벌채로 인해 취약(VU) 종이지만 전체 개체군 규모는 제대로 파악되지 않고 있습니다.
clouded magpie
The clouded magpie (Abraxas sylvata) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across temperate Europe, extending eastward through Russia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 32–42 mm, with white wings bearing a distinctive pattern of yellow-orange and dark grey to black spots and patches arranged in rows across the forewing and hindwing, creating a striking patterned appearance resembling the magpie coloring of the related magpie moth Abraxas grossulariata, but with a more yellowish, muted tone and less black — hence 'clouded.' Adults fly in one generation from June to July, resting on leaf surfaces and attending woodland flowers for nectar. The larvae feed on wych elm (Ulmus glabra) and occasionally other Ulmus species in mature deciduous woodland and woodland edges. The clouded magpie has become less common in parts of its European range due to the widespread loss of mature elms from Dutch elm disease, which devastated European elm populations from the 1970s onward. Conservation of this species requires the protection of surviving mature elm trees and management of regrowth elms in woodland ecosystems.
