Club-tailed Charaxes

Charaxes zoolina, the club-tailed charaxes or club-tailed butterfly, is a medium-sized nymphalid butterfly in the family Nymphalidae, subfamily Charaxinae, native to sub-Saharan Africa. The genus Charaxes is one of the most speciose butterfly genera in Africa, known for robust, fast-flying adults with strongly scalloped hindwings. C. zoolina is distributed widely across sub-Saharan African woodland and forest-margin habitats, from West Africa through East Africa to southern Africa. Adults are typically orange-brown with black borders and pale submarginal spots, similar in pattern to many other Charaxes species. Like other charaxines, adults are attracted to fermenting fruit, sap flows, dung, and carrion rather than flowers, obtaining essential amino acids and minerals from these substrates. Males are territorial, perching on prominent vantage points to intercept females and rival males. Larvae feed on plants in the family Fabaceae, particularly Albizia species. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN given its wide distribution and apparent stability across suitable woodland savanna habitats in tropical Africa.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
