giraffe
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Found in Ecuador. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
papoula
<em>Papaver somniferum</em>, commonly known as the common garden poppy or opium poppy, is an annual herbaceous plant in the family Papaveraceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, reflecting both its native range across parts of the Mediterranean and Middle East and its widespread cultivation and naturalization globally. The species typically grows in disturbed habitats, agricultural fields, roadsides, and gardens, and is widely cultivated both ornamentally and for the production of poppy seed and medicinal alkaloids. <em>Papaver somniferum</em> produces large, showy flowers in a range of colors from white to purple, followed by characteristic globose seed capsules. Its distribution is noted as not evaluated for conservation status. The species has deep historical and cultural significance across many human societies. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. As a broadly distributed and heavily cultivated plant, <em>Papaver somniferum</em> supports a range of pollinators and has become naturalized in many regions far beyond its original native range.
giraffe
A girafa (Giraffa camelopardalis) é o animal terrestre mais alto da Terra, podendo atingir 5,5 metros de altura e pesar até 1.750 kg. Seu pescoço alongado, contendo as mesmas sete vértebras cervicais de todos os mamíferos, evoluiu para se alimentar de acácias nas savanas e bosques africanos. Animal social que vive em manadas soltas sem vínculos permanentes, comunica-se por infrassons e linguagem corporal. Vulnerável, com populações em declínio devido à perda de habitat e à caça ilegal.
