The Ethiopian wolf, also known as the Simien jackal or Simien fox, is a canine native to the Ethiopian Highlands. In southeastern Ethiopia it is also known as the horse jackal. It is similar to the coyote in size and build, and is distinguished by its long and narrow skull, and its red and white fur. Unlike most large canids, which are widespread, generalist feeders, the Ethiopian wolf is a highly specialised feeder of Afroalpine rodents with very specific habitat requirements. It is one of the world's rarest canids, and Africa's most endangered carnivore.
Saturnia is a genus of moths in the family Saturniidae first described by Franz Paula von Schrank in 1802. They are large moths, commonly called emperor moths though this is also used for various close relatives in subfamily Saturniinae. Most are Palearctic, but three species occur in the chaparral of California.
The Cypriot mouse is a species of mouse endemic to Cyprus. Its primary habitat seems to be the vineyards and fields of the Troödos Mountains region.
Kemp's gerbil is a species of rodent. Mammal Species of the World considers G. kempi and G. gambianus to be synonyms, however the IUCN has assessed each taxon as were they different species.
Euryops mucosus is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in Namibia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Euryops is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. They are native mostly to rocky sites in southern Africa, with a few species in other parts of Africa and on the Arabian Peninsula. They produce daisy-like flowerheads from fern-like foliage. The name Euryops is probably a contraction of the Greek words ευρυς meaning 'wide,' and ὄψις meaning 'eye,' possibly referring to the large flowerheads compared to the narrow leaves.
The gracile naked-tailed shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Burundi, Gabon, Kenya, and Uganda. Its natural habitat is swamps.
The Mount Cameroon forest shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae endemic to Cameroon. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Helicia is a genus of 110 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They grow naturally in rainforests throughout tropical South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia to New Guinea and as far south as New South Wales.
Euryops pectinatus, the grey-leaved euryops, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, endemic to rocky, sandstone slopes in the Western Cape of South Africa.
Euryops chrysanthemoides is a small shrub native to Southern Africa that is also grown as a horticultural specimen in tropical to subtropical regions around the world.
The goiter blacksmelt is a species of deep-sea smelt found in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is the biomass-dominant pelagic fish over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge when the entire water column is fully considered. The water-column in which it resides is 500 to 3,237 m deep. No topographic trapping can be performed on the species as they do not vertically migrate. This species grows to a length of 13 cm (5.1 in).
The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates is a list of highly endangered primate species selected and published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) Primate Specialist Group (PSG), the International Primatological Society (IPS), Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC), and Bristol Zoological Society (BZS). The IUCN/SSC PSG worked with Conservation International (CI) to start the list in 2000, but in 2002, during the 19th Congress of the International Primatological Society, primatologists reviewed and debated the list, resulting in the 2002–2004 revision and the endorsement of the IPS. The publication was a joint project between the three conservation organizations until the 2012–2014 list when BZS was added as a publisher. The 2018–2020 list was the first time Conservation International was not among the publishers, replaced instead by GWC. The list has been revised every two years following the biannual Congress of the IPS. Starting with the 2004–2006 report, the title changed to "Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates". That same year, the list began to provide information about each species, including their conservation status and the threats they face in the wild. The species text is written in collaboration with experts from the field, with 60 people contributing to the 2006–2008 report and 85 people contributing to the 2008–2010 report. The 2004–2006 and 2006–2008 reports were published in the IUCN/SSC PSG journal Primate Conservation,, since then they have been published as independent publications.
Euryops acraeus, the mountain euryops, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. It is a dwarf, rounded evergreen shrub growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall and wide, with silver-blue leaves and masses of yellow composite flowers in spring and summer.
The wildlife of Yemen is substantial and varied. Yemen is a large country in the southern half of the Arabian Peninsula with several geographic regions, each with a diversity of plants and animals adapted to their own particular habitats. As well as high mountains and deserts, there is a coastal plain and long coastline. The country has links with Europe and Asia, and the continent of Africa is close at hand. The flora and fauna have influences from all these regions and the country also serves as a staging post for migratory birds.
Euryops evansii is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae found in South Africa and Lesotho. It has multiple yellow flowers and grows as a shrub.
