| Paragomphus pumilio (Rambur, 1842) | |
Paragomphus pumilio is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is found in Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, rivers, freshwater lakes, and hot deserts.
The strawberry poison frog or strawberry poison-dart frog is a species of small poison dart frog found in Central America. It is common throughout its range, which extends from eastern central Nicaragua through Costa Rica and northwestern Panama. The species is often found in humid lowlands and premontane forest, but large populations are also found in disturbed areas such as plantations. The strawberry poison frog is perhaps most famous for its widespread variation in coloration, comprising approximately 15–30 color morphs, most of which are presumed to be true-breeding. O. pumilio, while not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids, is the most toxic member of its genus.
The four-striped grass mouse or four-striped grass rat, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
Ptychadena pumilio is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, possibly Burkina Faso, possibly Chad, possibly Gambia, possibly Ghana, possibly Guinea, possibly Guinea-Bissau, possibly Liberia, possibly Mauritania, possibly Niger, possibly Sudan, possibly Togo, and possibly Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, pastureland, rural gardens, ponds, and canals and ditches.
The dwarf honeyguide is a species of bird in the family Indicatoridae. It is endemic to the Albertine Rift montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Just like other honeyguides, this species is a brood parasite.
The African pygmy squirrel is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is monotypic within the genus Myosciurus. It is found in tropical rainforests in Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. It is not considered threatened, but likely declines locally due to habitat loss. Together with the least pygmy squirrel of Asia, the African pygmy squirrel is the world's smallest squirrel measuring about 12–14 cm (4.7–5.5 in) in total length and just 15–18 g (0.53–0.63 oz) in weight, which is less than a typical house mouse.
The dwarf fat-tailed jerboa is a species of rodent in the family Dipodidae. It is found in China, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia. They mostly reside in desert environments which can explain their size. They go long periods of time without food and water, which means they need a lower metabolic rate, and can be a reason for their size.
Paragomphus alluaudi is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is found in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Paragomphus is a genus of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. They are commonly known as Hooktails.
Paragomphus bredoi is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and possibly Uganda. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Although its status is of "Least Concern", it is still threatened by habitat destruction.
Paragomphus cataractae is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is found in the Kunene River basin in parts of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
