6 species
Species principle: Osmotic Range
Cross the water line.
Real range comes from being able to change water without losing power.
Bull Sharks tolerate both salt and fresh water through osmoregulation and can move far into rivers as well as coastal marine habitats.
Species principle: Canopy Range
Balance the branches.
More paths open when balance works both above and below.
Clouded Leopards are highly arboreal cats with strong climbing skills, long tails, and flexible ankles that help them move through trees and on the ground.
Species principle: Range Stealth
Leap from silence.
A broad life opens when silence and flexibility move together.
Cougars occupy a wide range of habitats and use stealth, solitary hunting, and powerful leaps to ambush prey.
Species principle: Island Slowness
Cling to the island.
A tiny range can still hold a complete way of life.
Pygmy Three-toed Sloths are small sloths restricted to mangrove habitat on Escudo de Veraguas Island, moving slowly and clinging with curved claws.
Species principle: Range
Take the range.

Tiger Sharks are large opportunistic predators with broad diets, ranging through tropical and subtropical waters and consuming many kinds of prey.
Species principle: Sustained Range
Keep moving the edge.
Lasting effort wins by moving through every edge without drama.
