Jensenobotrya lossowiana is the only species of genus Jensenobotrya, in the family Aizoaceae. It is a succulent plant endemic to Namibia. Its natural habitat is rocky areas. It grows at Dolphin Head in Spencer Bay where it obtains moisture from the saline mists. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Jensenobotrya is named after Emil Jensen and the Greek βότρυς - botrys (bunch of grapes), because the leaves look like grapes. The vernacular name druiwetrosvygie means 'bunch of grapes mesemb'.

The jungle palm squirrel, jungle striped squirrel, or Western Ghats squirrel is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae endemic to India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and plantations. This species is tolerant to habitat changes and is common in tea plantations in Western Ghats. This squirrel is confined to forests with tall trees within the West Coast of the Indian Peninsula. This confinement has led the Jungle Palm Squirrel to be a pest to cacao, mangos, grapes, and sapota, which are plants that commonly grow in the type of forest that this squirrel is confined to. The ratio between male and females is not split evenly, males have been reported to have a larger share of the population. Potential factors for the uneven sex ration include differences in "rate of persistence, mortality, dispersal, and predation pressure".
