Habitat & Geographic Range
Cheetah
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.
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.
Рыжебрюхая ньютония
Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.
Found in 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.
Рыжебрюхая ньютония
<em>Newtonia brunneicauda</em>, the common newtonia, is a small passerine bird in the family Vangidae, endemic to the island of Madagascar. This insectivorous bird typically inhabits humid and subhumid forests, forest edges, and secondary vegetation in the eastern and northern parts of Madagascar. <em>Newtonia brunneicauda</em> forages actively in the mid-storey and understorey, gleaning insects and other small invertebrates from foliage and branches. Its geographic range is largely restricted to Madagascar, though occurrence data in the source records lists Norway, which may reflect a sampling artifact rather than the species' actual distribution. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered relatively stable despite ongoing forest loss in Madagascar. Biological traits such as lifespan, body size, and diet remain poorly documented at a population level for this species. The common newtonia is a characteristic component of Madagascar's endemic forest bird community and is considered an indicator of relatively intact forest habitat. Its conservation is linked to the preservation of Madagascar's remaining tropical forests, which face significant pressure from slash-and-burn agriculture and timber extraction.
