Found across Europe (9 countries) and South America (Ecuador). Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
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.
bufo-real
A maior espécie de coruja do mundo em altura e peso, a bufo-real (Bubo bubo) tem envergadura de até 1,9 metro e habita paisagens rochosas, bordas de florestas e penhascos da Europa à Ásia e à China. Caçadores noturnos silenciosos com garras poderosas, predam coelhos, lebres, raposas e até outros rapinantes. Seu uivo profundo e ressonante carrega a grandes distâncias. Populações relativamente estáveis, embora historicamente perseguidas.
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.
