Below you’ll find the table with Common name, Scientific name, Habitat, Lifespan, Range, Conservation status, and Notes.
Common name: The familiar name helps you quickly recognize a species and match field guides or local references.
Scientific name: The Latin binomial gives you a precise identifier that avoids regional name confusion and supports research.
Habitat: Brief habitat descriptions let you know where to look for the species in the wild, by ecosystem.
Lifespan: Lifespan ranges give you expectations for wild and captive longevity and help compare species lifespans.
Range: Geographic range notes tell you which countries or regions the species occurs in, aiding field planning.
Conservation status: Status labels highlight extinction risk so you can assess urgency for study or conservation action.
Notes: Short notes include distinguishing features, taxonomic remarks, or brief ecology points that help you identify species quickly.
