Habitat & Geographic Range
Cheetah
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.
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.
大齿蟾
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
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。
大齿蟾
The Common Lazy Toad (<em>Oreolalax major</em>) is an amphibian in the family Megophryidae, classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically inhabits freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands, favoring cool, humid environments associated with mountain streams and adjacent riparian vegetation. As a member of the family Megophryidae, it is adapted to fast-flowing, clear mountain streams where larvae typically develop among leaf litter and gravel on the stream bed. The Common Lazy Toad is generally associated with the highland and montane zones of its range, relying on intact forest cover and unpolluted water bodies for reproduction and larval development. Its Least Concern status reflects an assessment of stable population trends, though like many amphibians it may be sensitive to changes in water quality, habitat loss, and emerging infectious diseases such as chytridiomycosis. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
