Habitat & Geographic Range

Cheetah

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Botswana, Iran, Kenya, Namibia, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Брахиотеутис обыкновенный

Habitat

Native to Europe and South America, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.

Range

Distributed across Chile and Norway.

Cheetah

The fastest land animal on Earth, reaching speeds of 112 km/h over short distances across African and Iranian grasslands. Slender build with a deep chest, long legs, and distinctive black tear-stripe markings. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs vocalize with chirps and purrs. Vulnerable, with only ~7,000 remaining due to habitat fragmentation and competition with larger predators.

Брахиотеутис обыкновенный

<em>Brachioteuthis riisei</em>, commonly known as the Common Arm Squid, is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Brachioteuthidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, reflecting significant gaps in knowledge about its population size, ecology, and distribution. Records of this species have been reported from waters off Chile and Norway, suggesting a broad oceanic distribution. Common Arm Squids are typically mesopelagic or bathypelagic organisms, inhabiting the open ocean at considerable depths during the day and often migrating toward shallower waters at night to feed. Like other oceanic squids, they are likely important components of marine food webs, serving as both predators of small fish and invertebrates and as prey for larger marine predators such as cetaceans and seabirds. The Data Deficient listing underscores the need for additional research into the biology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements of this understudied species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
