Habitat & Geographic Range

jaguar

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Haloterrigena thermotolerans is an extremely halophilic and thermotolerant archaeon capable of growth at both high salt concentrations and elevated temperatures. It inhabits saline, warm terrestrial environments including salt crusts, saline springs, and thermally influenced hypersaline habitats. This aerobic chemoheterotroph is adapted to the dual stresses of high salinity and heat.

jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat. Found from Mexico through South America, with strongholds in the Amazon and Pantanal. Powerful swimmers and apex predators, jaguars play a critical role in regulating prey populations. Near Threatened, with range contracting due to deforestation.
