Habitat & Geographic Range
mafureira
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
Found in Guinea.
gray wolf
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
mafureira
Christmas bells (Blandfordia nobilis) is a perennial monocot in the family Blandfordiaceae, native to heathlands and scrublands along the coast and tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. It is one of the smaller-flowered species within the genus Blandfordia and occurs in similar habitats to its congener Blandfordia grandiflora, though with a somewhat different distribution pattern. Like other members of the genus, Blandfordia nobilis produces tubular, bell-shaped flowers in combinations of red, orange, and yellow, on stems arising from basal tufts of tough, linear leaves. The flowers appear in the austral summer, coinciding with the Christmas holiday period. The species grows in seasonally wet, nutrient-poor sandy soils in coastal heath and woodland communities, and is considered fire-adapted, with flowering and regeneration often enhanced after disturbance. Christmas bells are emblematic of the New South Wales coastal landscape and have long been associated with summertime festivities in Australia. The species faces pressures from habitat clearance, urban development, and altered fire regimes. Its flowers are attractive to nectar-feeding birds and insects. All Blandfordia species are protected from collection in the wild under state legislation.
gray wolf
O lobo-cinzento (Canis lupus), o canídeo selvagem mais amplamente distribuído, ocorre da América do Norte à Eurásia em habitats diversos, incluindo tundra, florestas e pradarias. São animais altamente sociais que vivem em matilhas familiares lideradas por um casal reprodutor dominante. Como predadores-chave, os lobos regulam as populações de presas e moldam profundamente a estrutura do ecossistema, como demonstrou sua reintrodução em Yellowstone. Antes muito perseguidos, as populações estão se recuperando em muitas regiões.
