Habitat & Geographic Range

Yun Bao

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 11 distinct biome types spanning the Australasia and Indomalayan and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Common Dart

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Yun Bao

体重可达26千克的中型野生猫科动物云豹，栖息于从喜马拉雅东部经东南亚延伸至婆罗洲的热带和亚热带森林。以其独特的云状皮毛斑纹命名，它拥有野生猫科动物中相对头骨尺寸最长的犬齿，是能够头朝下爬下树木的出色攀爬者。因森林砍伐而被列为易危（VU），但总种群数量仍不清楚。

Common Dart

<em>Andronymus neander</em>, the common dart, is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae, commonly known as the skippers. This species inhabits terrestrial and freshwater environments, though its precise geographic range is not well documented in current biodiversity records. <em>Andronymus neander</em> typically occupies open woodland edges, grasslands, and savanna habitats, environments characteristic of many hesperiid butterflies in sub-Saharan Africa. Adults are generally fast-flying and often observed basking on low vegetation or visiting flowers for nectar. Like other members of the Hesperiidae, larvae of this species likely feed on grasses or related monocotyledonous plants, though host plant specifics for <em>Andronymus neander</em> are not extensively documented. The species is assessed as Least Concern, reflecting an absence of major threats to its populations at present. Biological traits beyond those noted here remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, and further research on this species' ecology and life history would be beneficial.
