Habitat & Geographic Range
Common Thin-toed Frog
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
Found in Venezuela.
Onca
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
Common Thin-toed Frog
<em>Leptodactylus leptodactyloides</em>, the common thin-toed frog, is an amphibian in the family Leptodactylidae, primarily recorded from Venezuela and surrounding lowland regions of northern South America. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This terrestrial frog typically inhabits savanna grasslands, gallery forests, and disturbed areas adjacent to wetlands, where it breeds in temporary pools and flooded grasslands during the rainy season. Like other leptodactylid frogs, males call from the water's edge to attract females, and the species produces foam nests for eggs. Diet typically consists of invertebrates including insects, spiders, and worms. The species is part of a diverse and taxonomically complex genus, and population status across its range is not precisely quantified. Biological traits such as adult body length, weight, lifespan, and clutch size remain poorly documented in comprehensive standardized scientific assessments for this species specifically. Conservation efforts benefit from broader amphibian monitoring programs across Venezuela and the surrounding region.
Onca
O maior felino das Américas, atingindo até 100 kg com corpo robusto e musculoso e pelagem com padrão de rosetas característico. Encontrado do México até a América do Sul, com populações mais expressivas na Amazônia e no Pantanal. Nadadores poderosos e predadores de topo, os jaguares desempenham papel fundamental na regulação das populações de presas. Classificado como Quase Ameaçado, com sua área de ocorrência diminuindo devido ao desmatamento.
