Habitat & Geographic Range

Cheetah

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

Range

Distributed across Botswana, Iran, Kenya, Namibia, and Tanzania. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

乔科穴(共鸟)

Habitat

Inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

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

Cheetah

猎豹是地球上奔跑最快的陆地动物,在非洲和伊朗草原上短距离冲刺速度可达112千米/小时。体型纤细,胸深腿长,具有标志性的黑色泪纹。与其他大型猫科动物不同,猎豹以吱鸣声和咕噜声交流。由于栖息地碎片化和与更大型捕食者的竞争,猎豹被列为易危,野外仅剩约7,000只。

乔科穴(共鸟)

The Choco Tinamou (Crypturellus kerriae) is a ground-dwelling bird in the family Tinamidae, one of the most ancient lineages of birds, endemic to the humid lowland and foothill forests of the Chocó biogeographic region, occurring in western Colombia and just extending into eastern Panama. Tinamous are secretive, largely terrestrial birds related to ratites despite their ability to fly, and are known for their extraordinarily beautiful, haunting calls — rich, melodic whistles or flute-like notes that echo through forest interiors at dawn and dusk. The Choco Tinamou inhabits the floor and lower understorey of humid tropical forest, where it forages for fallen fruits, seeds, invertebrates, and fungi. Like other Crypturellus tinamous, it is very difficult to observe directly in the dense undergrowth but may be detected reliably by voice. Nesting is unusual among tinamous: males incubate eggs and care for chicks while females may mate polygamously with multiple males. The IUCN classifies the Choco Tinamou as Vulnerable, reflecting severe ongoing deforestation in the Colombian Pacific lowlands for cattle ranching, palm oil, logging, and human settlement, which has drastically reduced and fragmented its forest habitat.
