African elephant

非洲象是地球上体型最大的陆地动物，体重可达7,000千克，栖息于撒哈拉以南非洲的草原、稀树草原和森林中。作为关键种，它们通过挖掘水源、传播种子和改变植被结构，深刻塑造了其栖息地的生态系统。受栖息地丧失和象牙盗猎威胁，非洲象的保护至关重要。

Common Green Frog/Green Paddy Frog/Leaf Frog

<em>Hylarana erythraea</em>, commonly known as the common green frog, green paddy frog, or leaf frog, is an amphibian belonging to the genus Hylarana within the family Ranidae. This species inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and coniferous forests within the Indomalayan realm, and is also found in montane and highland environments. Its documented range includes Brunei and the Philippines, reflecting a distribution across island Southeast Asia. Common green frog is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically occupies vegetation near standing or slow-moving water, where it is often found perching on leaves and stems above the water surface, a behavior consistent with its common name. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
