Common Tiger Butterfly

<em>Danaus genutia</em>, known as the common tiger butterfly, is a striking medium-sized butterfly in the family Nymphalidae, closely related to the well-known monarch butterfly. It is widely distributed across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australia, occurring in countries including India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This species typically inhabits forest margins, gardens, grasslands, and secondary growth areas, where it can be found nectaring on a wide variety of flowering plants. The wings are characteristically orange-brown with bold black veining and white spots along the margins, providing effective warning coloration that signals its chemical unpalatability to potential predators. Like other danaid butterflies, <em>Danaus genutia</em> sequesters toxic cardenolides from its larval host plants in the milkweed family (Apocynaceae), making adults distasteful to most birds. Larvae feed on various species of Cynanchum, Tylophora, and other Apocynaceae members. The species is currently listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, and its populations are generally considered stable owing to its broad habitat tolerance and wide geographic range. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body measurements, and weight remain poorly documented for this species in the scientific literature.

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.
