gorilla

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 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

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.

gorilla

The world's largest primate, western gorillas weigh up to 180 kg and inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of equatorial Africa. Primarily herbivorous, living in family groups led by a silverback male who protects the troop and mediates social conflicts. Critically Endangered, with populations threatened by deforestation, poaching for bushmeat, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease.
