Habitat & Geographic Range
Белоголовый орлан
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Cocha Chirping Frog
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
Found in Venezuela.
Белоголовый орлан
The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
Cocha Chirping Frog
The cocha chirping frog (Adenomera andreae) is a small terrestrial frog belonging to the family Leptodactylidae, widely distributed across lowland and submontane forest of northern South America, including Venezuela, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and parts of Brazil and Colombia. It inhabits leaf litter, stream margins, and forest floor habitats in humid tropical and gallery forests, where its cryptic brown coloration provides effective camouflage against predators. Like other members of the genus Adenomera, this species practices direct development: eggs are deposited in foam nests on moist land rather than in open water, and juveniles hatch as fully formed froglets, bypassing the free-living tadpole stage entirely. Males produce a distinctive chirping advertisement call, often from concealed positions among roots or leaf debris, to attract females during breeding seasons that may extend throughout much of the year in equatorial localities. The cocha chirping frog is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, reflecting its broad distribution, presumed large populations, and tolerance for moderately disturbed habitats including secondary forest and forest edges. It can persist in areas subject to low-intensity logging and is frequently encountered in wildlife surveys across its range. Primary threats are large-scale deforestation and drainage of wetland habitats, though these pressures have not yet driven significant population decline across its wide geographic range.
