gorilla

Habitat

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.

Range

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.

Clown Frog

The clown frog (Atelopus varius), also known as the harlequin frog or variable harlequin toad, is a small, vibrantly colored true toad in the family Bufonidae native to the premontane and montane rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama. Adults display bold black-and-yellow or black-and-orange aposematic patterns that warn predators of their skin toxins. Males typically measure 27–39 mm in snout-vent length and females slightly larger. The species inhabits fast-flowing streams in humid highland forests at elevations generally between 200 and 1,800 m, where breeding occurs in riparian zones. Atelopus varius was once common throughout its range but has suffered catastrophic population declines since the 1980s, primarily due to the chytrid fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which has driven mass mortality events in amphibians globally. Additional threats include habitat loss from deforestation and agricultural expansion. The species is listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Conservation programs involving captive breeding and disease-resistant population management are underway in Costa Rica and Panama in collaboration with international zoos.

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.
