Common Hound'S-Tongue

<em>Cynoglossum officinale</em>, commonly known as common hound's tongue, is a biennial herb in the family Boraginaceae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with populations documented across Europe — including eight European countries — and North America. The species typically inhabits disturbed soils, roadsides, dry grasslands, coastal dunes, and open woodland edges in temperate climates. It is recognized by its deep reddish-purple flowers and rough, tongue-shaped leaves that give the plant its common name. The species contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids and has been used historically in folk medicine, though it is considered toxic to livestock. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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.
