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.

Common Oak

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Lesotho, South Africa), Asia (Armenia, India), Europe (8 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia, New Zealand), and South America (4 countries).

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。

Common Oak

英国栎（Quercus robur）是欧洲最重要、分布最广的落叶乔木之一，寿命可逾千年，高达40米，所支撑的生物多样性超过欧洲任何其他树种，超过2300种昆虫、真菌、地衣、苔藓和鸟类直接依赖成熟栎树为生。分布于欧洲全境至西亚的温带森林，其坚硬耐久的木材在历史上是造船、建筑和制桶的基础材料。
