Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Common Marsupial Frog

Habitat

Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.

Range

Found in Venezuela. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

白头海雕

白头海雕是美国国鸟,也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例,曾因滴滴涕(DDT)的广泛使用而濒临灭绝,经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危(LC),以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食,也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。

Common Marsupial Frog

<em>Gastrotheca ovifera</em>, the common marsupial frog, is a tree frog in the family Hemiphractidae, endemic to Venezuela. It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting population declines associated with habitat loss and degradation. This species is typically found in freshwater environments, moist montane forests, and wetland habitats within Venezuela's highlands. The common marsupial frog takes its name from the female's dorsal brood pouch, in which fertilized eggs are carried and develop until the young emerge as advanced tadpoles or juvenile froglets. This reproductive adaptation reduces dependence on standing water for larval development and provides protection for the developing young. Like other members of the family Hemiphractidae, this species is associated with humid forest environments where moisture is reliably available. Deforestation and agricultural expansion in Venezuela's montane forest habitats represent significant threats to this and related species. Detailed data on population estimates, lifespan, and body measurements for this species remain limited in current scientific literature.
