Habitat & Geographic Range
Coastal Silver Mallee
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
jaguar
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
Coastal Silver Mallee
Coastal silver mallee (Eucalyptus ecostata) is a multi-stemmed mallee eucalyptus in the family Myrtaceae, endemic to the southwest of Western Australia, where it grows in coastal heath, scrub, and mallee shrublands on sandy or lateritic soils near the Indian Ocean coast. Like other mallees, it regenerates vigorously from a lignotuber after fire, a critical adaptation in fire-prone Mediterranean-climate vegetation. Leaves are silvery-grey on young growth, giving rise to the common name, while older foliage is greener. The species produces creamy white to yellow flowers that attract native bees and honeyeaters. Eucalyptus ecostata is assessed as Near Threatened by the IUCN, reflecting a restricted range in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region—one of the world's biodiversity hotspots—and vulnerability to habitat clearing for agriculture, altered fire regimes, and invasion by introduced weeds such as Phytophthora cinnamomi, a root pathogen that has devastated many Australian plant species. Conservation efforts in the region focus on protecting remnant coastal heath and mallee vegetation within the Southwest's network of national parks and nature reserves.
jaguar
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.
