Habitat & Geographic Range

Cheetah

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 9 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Botswana, Iran, Kenya, Namibia, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Common,Banded Bullfrog

Habitat

Inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and tropical and subtropical coniferous forests within the Indomalayan biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Brunei, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan.

Cheetah

A chita (Acinonyx jubatus) é o animal terrestre mais veloz do mundo, capaz de atingir 120 km/h em corridas curtas. Possui corpo esbelto, pernas longas e manchas negras sólidas sobre pelagem dourada. Distribui-se nas savanas africanas e, em pequena população, no Irã. Diferentemente de outros grandes felinos, não ruge. Caça durante o dia, utilizando visão aguçada e velocidade para perseguir presas. Classificada como espécie vulnerável, com menos de 7.000 indivíduos na natureza.

Common,Banded Bullfrog

The common banded bullfrog (<em>Kaloula pulchra</em>) is a compact amphibian native to the Indomalayan biogeographic region, where it typically inhabits moist broadleaf forests, coniferous forests, and montane environments. Its geographic range spans several Southeast and East Asian countries, including Brunei, the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a relatively stable population across its native range. It is often associated with humid forest floors and edge habitats, where moisture levels support its amphibian physiology. The banded bullfrog is recognizable by its stout body and the distinctive pale lateral stripe that runs along each side. It is known to shelter in soil crevices and leaf litter during dry periods, emerging to feed and breed after rainfall. Breeding typically occurs in temporary pools and flooded areas following monsoon rains, with males producing loud calls to attract mates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
