Lion

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 7 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Kenya. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Achlya bisexualis is an oomycete in the family Saprolegniaceae that decomposes organic matter in freshwater habitats and can act as a pathogen of fish and invertebrates under certain conditions. It exhibits a fascinating pheromone-based sexual reproduction system that has been extensively studied as a model for steroid hormone signaling in lower eukaryotes. Its mycelial colonies rapidly colonize dead insect and plant debris in slow-moving water.

Lion

The largest wild cat in Africa, lions reach up to 250 kg and are the only social felids, living in prides across sub-Saharan savannas and grasslands. Males are distinguished by their iconic manes. As apex predators, they regulate herbivore populations and maintain ecosystem balance. Listed as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.
