Cola gigas is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Nigeria and is threatened by habitat loss.
Gigasiphon macrosiphon is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is known from several localities in Kenya and Tanzania. Only about 33 individuals were found in surveys in 2013. Population decline is believed to be mainly due to habitat loss. The IUCN currently classifies the species as Endangered.
Cola boxiana is a species of medium tree in the Family Malvaceae. It is endemic to the lowland Eastern Guinean forests, or tropical rainforests, of Ghana. As with many tree species growing in these coastal rainforests, it is threatened by habitat loss.
Cola bracteata is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Uganda.
Cola duparquetiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Gabon.
Cola glabra is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Nigeria. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cola lizae is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Gabon. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cola philipi-jonesii is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found only in Nigeria. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cola reticulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found in Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Guinea. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cola semecarpophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is found in Cameroon and Nigeria. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cola umbratilis is a species of tropical rainforest tree in the family Malvaceae. It is endemic to the wet evergreen forests of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana where it is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius gigas is a critically endangered species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to the Huayllamarca River at an altitude of about 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) in the Carangas Province in Bolivia. Its tiny range makes it highly vulnerable to pollution, and it may also be threatened by over-harvesting for medicinal use and the disease chytridiomycosis. As suggested by its scientific name, this is a very large species of frog with a snout-vent length of up to 10.9 centimetres (4.3 in) in females. In the genus Telmatobius, only two other threatened species, the Titicaca water frog and Lake Junin frog, are larger. T. gigas is very closely related to the smaller and more widespread T. marmoratus, and they might be conspecific.
The giant swiftlet, also known as the waterfall swift, is a species of bird in the swift family, Apodidae. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Hydrochous. It is found in Malaysia, Sumatra and Java, where its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The mottle-backed elaenia is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The Mexican shrew is a species of mammal from the subfamily Soricinae in the family Soricidae. It is monotypic within the genus Megasorex and is endemic to Mexico.
The giant roundleaf bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae found in western tropical Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and caves. The species was formerly considered part of M. commersoni, which is now viewed as being restricted to Madagascar. Both commersoni and it were formerly placed in the genus Hipposideros, but moved to the resurrected Macronycteris in 2017 on the basis of molecular evidence. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Labidochromis gigas is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it is only known to occur in areas with rocky substrates around Likoma Island and Chisumulu Island. This species can reach a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) SL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Branchinecta is a genus of crustacean in family Branchinectidae. It includes around 50 species, found on all continents except Africa and Australia. Branchinecta gigas, the giant fairy shrimp, is the largest species in the order, with a length of up to 10 centimetres (4 in), and Branchinecta brushi lives at the highest altitude of any crustacean, at 5,930 metres (19,460 ft), a record it shares with the copepod Boeckella palustris. A new genus, Archaebranchinecta was established in 2011 for two species previously placed in Branchinecta.
Karomia gigas is a species of plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is found in Kenya and Tanzania, where only small populations survive.
Copernicia gigas is a palm which is endemic to eastern Cuba.
Scartichthys gigas, the giant blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Pacific ocean, from Panama to northern Chile. Members of this species feed primarily off of plants, crustaceans, and small mollusks and they themselves are seldom caught for human consumption, as their meat is tasteless. It is said that they can be made into a mildly narcotic soup, therefore their Spanish name borracho (drunk). This species reaches a length of 22.2 centimetres (8.7 in) SL.
