Anteater

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Anteater | has great anteater is recognized for its large size, elongated snout and long tail. It Males weigh 33-41 kg (73-90 pounds) and females weigh 27-39 kg (60-86 lbs), making the giant anteater, the largest species in its existing suborder. The head of the giant anteater, 30 cm (12 cm) long, is very large, even compared with other anteaters. The eyes and ears are relatively small. Anteaters have survived 16 years in captivity. The fur of the giant anteater is usually salted with gray and white dots. Unlike other mammals, neck anteater, in particular, of giant, are thicker than the crests of their head.

The front legs are white, with black bands around their wrists, while the hind legs are dark. Thick black ties with white lines extending from throat to shoulder, which terminate in triangular points. The body terminates in a queue brown. Despite the tropical climate, anteater coat hairs are long, especially on the tail, causing the tail looks larger than it actually is. This dense layer allows relatively low body temperature of 33 ° C (91 ° F) and a few degrees lower than the temperature typical of mammals 36-38 ° C (97-100 ° F). The species has wide ribs. The triceps animals helps the power of flexion of the claws figures. Anteaters are dependent on colonial insects and can not survive without them. Between 2000 and 2010 the population decreased by 30 percent in 1994 about 340 anteaters died because of fires in the Emas National Park in Brazil.

The anteater is often hunted in Bolivia, both for sport and food. Anteaters are killed for their safety, because of their reputation as a dangerous animal. In fact, anteaters are usually quiet and does not constitute a threat to humans. However, in April 2007, an anteater in Florencio Varela zoo near Buenos Aires, Argentina ripped Zookeeper Melisa Casco, cut the belly and legs with its front claws. The giant anteater is widespread. The giant anteater can use different habitats. A 2006 study found that anteaters in the Pantanal are mostly nocturnal, they are more active at night and early morning, and retire with increasing temperature On colder days, anteaters start and finish their work earlier. Anteaters nocturnality in response to human disturbance. Anteaters were observed daily in Serra da Canastra.

Giant anteaters usually rest in dense brush, tall grass, but can be used on the coldest days. The animal sleeps curled up with his tail folded over its body. The tail serves to preserve body heat and as camouflage. Giant anteaters are good swimmers and are able to cross waterways large. Giant anteaters have some climbing skills and are increasing in both termite hills and trees while foraging. A person was observed clinging to a branch with his feet just touching the ground Giant anteaters can breed all year round. During courtship, the man tends to estrous female, monitor and sniff. Male and female pairs are known to feed on the same insect nest. Females give birth standing up.

Young mothers communicate with their whistling and power primarily through breastfeeding. The decrease reflects the weakening of the bond between mother and offspring, mostly young anteaters independently of nine or ten months. Anteaters reach their adult size by three years and sexually mature at 2.5 to 4 years. In mythology and folklore of the Amazon, the giant anteater is depicted as a cheat sheet for the jaguar. In a story Shipib, an anteater challenged a jaguar in a contest breath underwater, which has accepted the jaguar. After two away from their fur and divers, the jump from the water anteater and the jaguar coat stolen, leaving the skin of a jaguar with the anteater.

People Kayapó masks of different animals and spirits, including the anteater, during naming and initiation ceremonies. It is assumed that women who have touched anteater masks or men who stumbled while wearing them would die or be beaten with a mental illness. During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the giant anteater was one of the many animals brought to Europe for display. In the 20 th century, Salvador Dali wrote imaginative giant anteater "larger than the horse has achieved, has enormous cruelty, has exceptional strength, is a fearsome beast. Dalí represented an anteater in the style of the great masturbator. The 1940 Max Fleischer cartoons Ants in the plants with a colony of ants fighting off a bad ant. An anteater is also a recurring character in the comic strip BC. This character was the inspiration for Peter the anteater, the University of California, Irvine team mascot. Friends Flash cartoon Happy Tree nerd has a blue-gray anteater as colds.

Heron

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Heron | Heron medium and large birds with long legs and neck. The smaller species are generally considered to be Little Bittern, which can measure 30 cm (12 inches) in length, although all species of the genus Ixobrychus small overlap, and many vary in size. The main types of cranes Goliath Heron, who resists the 152 cm (60 inches) in height. The neck is more per day than the night heron and egret bittern. The legs are long and strong almost all kinds of free pens to the bottom of the leg (with the exception of Heron Zigzag). Legs herons have long slender fingers with three loved facing forward and one back. It can vary from very thin, as in the Agami Heron, the thickness, as in the gray heron. The bill is the most unusual property of boat-bill Heron, which has a wide thick bill.

The wings are wide and long, from 10-11 primary flight feathers (Boat-bills Heron has only nine), middle tail feathers 15-20 and 12 (10 bitterns). Feathers feathers herons and soft, usually blue, black, brown, gray or white, and can often be surprisingly difficult. Among the day herons little sexual dimorphism in plumage (except for the pond, herons), the differences between the sexes generally night herons and bitterns minors. Many species are in the form of different colors. In the Pacific Reef Heron, various forms of color, as dark and light, and the proportion of each morph varies geographically. Herons are an ordinary family, with a cosmopolitan distribution. Almost all kinds of water-related, they are essentially pool water birds that feed on the shores of lakes, rivers, swamps, lakes and seas.

Crane family is very mobile, and most species are at least partially migration. Migration usually occurs at night, usually by individuals or in small groups Herons and bitterns predators. Members of this family are mainly associated with damp and water, and diverse supply of water living victims. The diet includes a wide range of aquatic animals, including fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Individual species can be broad or specialize in certain types of prey, such as yellow crowned night herons, which specializes in crustaceans, especially crabs. Many species also opportunistically with larger prey, including birds and bird eggs, and less likely to fall.

Some species of herons, egrets, both small and gray herons have been reported with bait to attract prey within reach. Herons can use existing elements or add elements active in the water to attract fish. Three species, Heron Black, Heron and whistles, such as cattle egret is less tied to the aquatic environment and can eat away from the water. Most days, herons and egrets are colonial night or in part, depending on the circumstances, while bitterns and tiger herons are mainly solitary nesters. Colonies may contain several species, as well as other species of waterfowl. In a study of small herons and cattle egrets in India, most of the colonies studied contained both species. Nesting is seasonal in temperate species of tropical species may be seasonal in nature (often coinciding with the rainy season) or during the year.

Dating often participates in the nest. The exception is the Boat-bill Heron, who joins from the nest. After pairing, the pair continue to build their nests in almost all species, albeit in a smaller and less bittern bittern is only male on the nest. Some ornithologists have reported observing herons join friends are powerless, it is looking for sexual satisfaction elsewhere. Heron nests "are usually found near or over water. Typically, herons lay from three to seven eggs. Clutches great bitterns, as reported in smaller, more rarely, some of the biggest days of herons, and one egg clutches are some of the tiger herons. Offspring will vary depending on the latitude within species, individuals in more temperate climates chicken eggs in the tropics.

Wolf

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Wolf | Gray Wolf slim, powerfully built animal with a large, deep chest and a downwardly sloping back. Legs moderately more wolf than other dogs. Women tend to have a narrow face and forehead, thin neck, a little shorter legs and narrower shoulders than men. In comparison with its smaller cousins (the coyote, and golden jackal), gray wolf bigger and heavier, with a broader snout, short ears, short body and long tail.The head is large and heavy gray wolf, with a broad forehead, strong jaws and long, blunt snout. Ears are relatively small and triangular. Wolf can be a devastating pressure lbf/in2 lbf/in2 1500 in comparison with 750 for the German Shepherd. In cold climates, the wolf, the blood supply to bring back to her skin to retain body heat.

Gray wolves usually has head at the same level as the rear lift only when a warning. IThis process may continue for several hours at a speed of 8-9 km / h and the wolf over long distances. On the bare road, a wolf can quickly reach speeds of 50-60 km / h. Powered Wolf keeps his head low and slightly to one side, sending one ear forward and one back. This position allows the wolf still use their exceptional hearing. hile a few loose wolves, most of them are very social animals. The basic social unit of the wolf pack is a linked pair, accompanied by an adult offspring pairs. The package consists of an average family of 11.5 animals (1-2 adults, 3-6 yearlings and 1-3 minors), and sometimes two or three such families, with an exceptionally large packages of 42 wolves fame.

Wolf grabs rarely take other wolves in his lap, and usually kill them. In times of abundance of ungulates (migration, calving, etc.), different wolf packs temporarily join forces. Wolves are very territorial animals, and generally much more territory than they need to survive, a steady stream of production. Wolf packs travel constantly in search of prey, is about 9% of the territory on the day (on average 25 km / day or 15 mi / g). The smallest area on record was on six pack of wolves in northeastern Minnesota, which takes approximately 33 km2 (13 square miles), while the largest was held by Alaska wolf pack of ten covers 6272 km2 (2422 square miles). Wolf packs are usually resolved, and usually only used to reach their leave during the acute food shortages. Wolves defend their territory from other packages by combining the scent of the markings of direct attacks and the first (see Contact).

When the scent marking and howling unable to keep the strange wolf packs of entering enemy territory, a violent interactions. Territorial fights are one of the leading causes of death of a wolf, a study on wolf mortality in Minnesota and Denali National Park and Preserve the conclusion that 14-65% of all deaths due to predation by other wolf wolves Gray wolves are typically monogamous, mating with a pair of generally stay together for life, as one of the pair dies. In the case of the death of a wolf pair covered quickly restored. Because men often prevails in some wolf populations, gypsy women are a rarity and spread male wolf can not establish a territory, or find a partner, he will work with the daughters of breeding pairs are created in other packages.

These wolves are "wolves Casanova" and, unlike the men of the installed packages, they do not form pair bonds with the women they mate with. Some wolf packs, several females, so, as is the case in Yellowstone National Park. Age at first breeding of wolves is highly dependent on environmental factors, when food is abundant, or where wolf populations are controlled, wolf pups to bring in a younger age in order to make better use of abundant resources. This shows once more the fact that the prisoner wolves are known to breed when they reach 9-10 months, while the young wolves recorded breeding in the wild was 2 years old. Unlike the coyote, the wolf never reach reproductive age.

The heat of the wolves only takes a month, do not abandon male wolves their friends, to find other women to fertilize as dogs do. During pregnancy, a woman in a den of wolves away from the peripheral zone of their territory, where violent clashes with other packages, is more likely. Wolves have a relatively large litters in small compared to other canid. The average litter consists of 5-6 pups, with throws tend to increase in areas where prey is abundant, but exceptionally large litter of pups 14-17 occur only 1% of the time. Puppies are born blind and deaf, and covered with short soft gray-brown fur. Puppies come from a den at 3 weeks. Puppies begin to eat solid food at age 3-4 weeks. Wolves use different sites for their daily entertainment: places with cover prefer the cold, wet and windy weather, while the wolves in a dry, warm weather is calm and out easily to relax. In

In rare cases, female wolves dig dens themselves, which are usually small and short, with 1-3 holes. Wolves are not the same location indicating probably a precaution against parasites. Because there are several convenient locations for holes, wolf teeth, usually occupied by the animals of the same family. In northern Montana, where wolves were heavily persecuted aerial hunters, the wolves have learned to avoid open spaces, when they heard the planes. On the other hand, biologists are using the aircraft was subjected to a study of wolves wolves are afraid that their approach, even when a low flying. When hunting, the wolves tend to focus on simple options at their disposal in areas populated by moose, and a small species of deer, the latter taking on a much larger share. Wolf described the powers of memory, George Mivart, who said that the wolf was able to hand his master to recognize, after three years absence.

Adult wolves are known to be cleverly hidden approaches to decide when their burrow, using bushes, fallen trees, stumps and other natural structures to hide their approach. Wolves experienced in the fall to learn how to avoid damage or even cause them, in his hunt for the wolf Currumpaw, naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton, noted that his first attempts to capture it were unsuccessful, as the wolf and count in the spring of the trap or ignore them. Although wolves are trained, they do not have the same degree of tractability seen in dogs. Wolves are more sensitive to positive conditioning and rewards, although simple praise is not enough, because in most dogs. In contrast to dogs, wolves tend to respond to hand than voice signals. Most attempts to prepare the wolves as a working dog failed.

Postural communication in wolves consists of different facial expressions, tail position and piloerection aggressive or overbearing wolves are characterized by a slow and deliberate movements, posture and high-raised feathers, and they are obedient to their body is low, to smooth their fur and the bottom of the ears and tail. Passive obedience usually occurs as a response to the approach of the dominant animal, and consists of a submissive wolf was lying partly on the back and the dominant wolf sniffing her anogenital region. The active view is often a form of greeting, and includes a submissive wolf approaches another in a low position, and licking the face of another wolf. If the wolves together, they tend to enjoy behavior, such as the nose, vibration, control of the jaw, cheek rubbing and licking her face. Dominant wolves may declare themselves to cross family member than subordinates. A wolf howls, as a rule, differ from those of large dogs.

Puppies are almost never cry, and the yearling wolf cry at the end of the production of a series of dog howl. A wolf howls can be heard, under certain conditions at a distance of up to 130 km2 (50 sq mi). When the howl with the wolves, not even on the same note in unison, creating the illusion of having more wolves than it is. Lone wolves generally avoid the curve in areas where other packages. Wolves did not respond to the cries in the rain, and when full.

Snake

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Snake | Snake English word comes from Old English snaca, in turn, from Proto-Germanic * snack en (cf. the German "snake" Schnake, the Swedish "snake» snok), from Proto-Indo-European root * (s) neg -or-"crawl," "creep," which also has stealth, as well as the Sanskrit naga "snake." There are over 2,900 species of snakes ranging as far north as the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia and southward through Australia. There are many islands, of which there are no snakes, such as Ireland, Iceland and New Zealand (although New Zealand waters are rarely visited by Coward sea snake banded Krait, and the sea), all snakes are strictly carnivorous, there are small animals, including lizards, other snakes, small mammals , birds, eggs, fish, snails and insects. Because snakes can not bite or tear food into pieces, they should swallow their prey whole. The size of the snake has a great influence on eating habits. Small snakes eat smaller prey.

The jaw of the snake is a complex structure. Contrary to popular belief that snakes can dislocate jaws, snakes have a very flexible lower jaw, the two halves that are not tightly linked, and many other compounds in their skull (see snake skull), allowing them to open your mouth wide enough to swallow their prey all even if it is larger in diameter than the same snake. For example, African snake egg supply has flexible jaws adapted for supplying the eggs are much larger than the diameter of the head of this snake has no teeth, but the bony protrusions on the inner side of his spine, which he uses to crack shells if there are eggs. Although most snakes are a lot of predatory animals, there are some specialization by some species. King Cobra and Australian hockey, bandy consume other snakes.

Other snakes kill their prey on the compression. After eating, snakes become dormant, and the process of digestion takes place. Being ectothermic (" cold blooded "), ambient temperature plays an important role in digestion snake. The ideal temperature for snakes to digest 30 ° C (86 ° F). Despite the different modes of play used by snakes all snakes use internal fertilization. Most snakes lay eggs, but most of the snakes leave their eggs after laying. Some species of snakes are Ovoviviparous and retain the eggs within their bodies until they are almost ready to hatch. When frightened or injured, most snakes prefer to avoid contact and do not attack people. With the exception of large snakes, nonvenomous snakes pose no threat to humans. Despite the possibility of infection and tissue damage is present in the bite of nonvenomous snakes, poisonous snakes are not dangerous, much more for men.

Documented deaths from snake bites are rare. Of the approximately 725 species of venomous snakes worldwide, only 250 are able to kill a man with one bite. The average Australian only fatal snake bite per year. In India, 250,000 snakes recorded in one year, with more than 50,000 deaths were registered early.The most common and effective method through an antidote (or antidote), serum from snake venom. In the U.S., for example, all kinds of poisonous snakes vipers, except for the coral snake.

In this show, the serpent is a basket of snakes charm probably played tunes from her musical instrument, the flute, which responds to the serpent.

Wildlife Conservation Act of 1972 prohibits technically charm snakes in India due to reduction of cruelty to animals. Other snake charmers and snake and mongoose show, in which both animals mock-fight, but it's not very common, such as snakes and mongooses, may be seriously injured or killed. In general, capturing snakes with a stick only. Earlier Irulas caught thousands of snakes in the snake-skin industry. After the ban snake-skin industry in India and protection of all snakes in the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, they formed a joint Catcher Irula Snake and switched to catching snakes for removal of venom, releasing them into the wild after four extractions. Despite the existence of snake charmers, there have also been professional snake hunters and quarrelsome. Modern day snake capture includes herpetologist using a long stick with a V-shaped end.

Snake soup of Cantonese cuisine is consumed by local residents in the autumn, to warm their bodies. Western cultures document the consumption of snakes under extreme circumstances of hunger. In Asian countries like China, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia, drinking the blood of snakes, especially cobras are believed to increase sexual virility. In some Asian countries, the use of snakes in alcohol taken. In such cases, the body of a snake or several snakes is soaked in a vase or beverage container. U.S. Army Special Forces trainees are taught to catch, kill and eat snakes during their survival, which earned them the nickname "snake eaters" video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, can be deduced from which to draw. Snake wine, alcoholic beverages produced by infusion of snakes in general, rice wine or alcohol.

In the western world, some snakes (especially docile species such as the ball python and corn snake) are kept as pets. Snakes bred in captivity are usually better pets and is considered preferable to captive animals. Snakes can be very low maintenance pets, especially compared with more traditional views. Snakes can be fed animals is relatively rare, usually every 5 to 14 days. Some snakes have a duration of more than 40 years of age, with proper care. Snakes are part of the worship of the Hindus. Most images of Lord Shiva depict snake around his neck. Puranas have various stories associated with snakes. Other important snakes in Hinduism, Ananta, Vasuki, Taxak, Karkotaka and Pingala.

Lion

  

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Lion | Traditionally, the last 12 subspecies of the lion recognized leading mane appearance, size and distribution. While the status of the Asiatic lion (P. l. Persica) as a subspecies, are generally accepted to be systematic link between the African lions are still not fully resolved. Mitochondrial changes in living African lions seemed to be modest in the light of some new research, so that all sub-Saharan lions are sometimes considered a subspecies. However, recent studies demonstrated the lions of the West and Central Africa differ genetically from the lions of southern and eastern Africa. According to this study, West Africa, lions are more closely related to Asian lions than in the South and East Africa lions. These results can be attributed to the late Pleistocene extinction event of lions in West and Central Africa and the subsequent re-colonization of parts of Asia.

Lions of Tsavo in Eastern Kenya are much closer genetically lions in Transvaal (South Africa) than those in Aberdare Range in Western Kenya. Another study showed that there are three major types of lions, one of North Africa and Asia, one of South Africa and Central Africa. The Asiatic lion Persica was most striking, and the Cape lion has an association with P. l. Persica, than the other sub-Saharan lions. He analyzed 58 skulls of lions in three European museums were lions breed with tigers (usually the Siberian and Bengal subspecies) to hybrids called ligers and tiglons (or tigons) to make known. Marozi supposedly spotted lion or a naturally leopon, while the Congolese spotted lion, jaguar, lion, leopard complex called hybrid lijagulep.

Liger is a cross between a male lion and a tigress. Since the growth inhibiting gene from the female tiger absence contributes to the growth of the gene passed on to the male lion, as a result of ligers much larger than their parents. Males had a 50% chance of a mane, but if they grow their manes are modest: about 50% of net mane of a lion. Behind only the tiger, the lion is the second largest living cat in height and weight. Lion color varies from light buff to yellowish, reddish or dark ochraceous. Lions are the only members of the family to cat, for obvious sexual dimorphism, wherein male and female look very different display. For example, the lion, the hunter does not have a thick mane of men. The color of the male's mane varies from blond to black, tend to become darker as the lion ages.

Weight of adult lions are between 150 to 250 kg (330 to 550 lb) for males and 120-182 kg (264-400 pounds) for women. Nowell and Jackson report average weight of 181 kg (400 lb) for males and 126 kg (280 pounds) for women. For example, lions in South Africa, usually about 5 percent heavier than in East Africa as a whole.The tail length of 90-105 cm (2 meters 11 inches - 3 feet 5 inches) in males and in females 70-100 cm (2 feet 4 inches - 3 feet 3 inches). The longest known lion, nearly 3.6 m (12 ft) in total length, black-maned male was shot near Mucsso, in southern Angola in October 1973, the heaviest known lion in the wild man-eater shot in 1936 in the immediate vicinity Hectorspruit in the Eastern Transvaal, South Africa and weighed 313 kg (690 pounds). Another special over sized lion was shot near Mount Kenya, with a weight of 272 kg (600 pounds).

Lions in captivity tend to be larger than the lions in the wild lion on record heaviest man in the Colchester Zoo in England named Simba in 1970, who weighed 375 kg (826 pounds). However, also the maximum head and body length of 250 cm (8 feet 2 inches) and comes to an extinct Pleistocene forms, such as the American lion, with more modern lions from a few centimeters shorter The most distinctive feature shared by both women and men, is that the tail ends in a hairy bunch. In some lions, a bunch of lies hard "spine", or "spur", approximately 5 mm, were the last parts of tail bone fused. Lions are powerful animals who usually hunt in coordinated groups and stalk their chosen prey.

lioness is one who hunt for the pride, like the lion is aggressive in nature. lion usually remains and looks at his young lioness waiting to return to hunting. Usually several lions work together and encircle the herd from different angles. extraction and it can be slain by lion enclosing the animal mouth and nostrils into the mouth (which also leads to suffocation). Fewer victims, however, can only be slain by a lion cloth pawThe prey consists mainly of large mammals, with a preference for wildebeest, impalas, zebras, buffalo and wild boar in Africa and nilgai, wild boar, deer and various types of India. Many other types of hunting, subject to availability.

Lions hunt in groups suitable for the removal of most of the animals, even in healthy adults, but in most of their range they are rarely very large prey such as adult male giraffe to attack on the risk of injury. Extensive statistics collected over various studies show that lions normally feed on mammals in the range of 190-550 kg (420-1210 pounds). In Africa, the wildebeest in the top of the preferred prey (which is almost half lion prey in the Serengeti), and later the zebra. For example, in the Kruger National Park, giraffes are regularly hunted in Manyara Park, Cape buffalo is a whopping 62% of the diet of a lion, as a result of the high density of buffalo. In some areas, lions specialize in hunting atypical prey, this is the case at the Savuti river, where they hunt elephants.

The Lions also attack cattle in India cattle contribute significantly to their diet. Lions are capable of killing other predators such as leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs, but (unlike most cats), they rarely engulf competitors after killing them. An adult lioness requires an average of about 5 kg (11 pounds) of meat per day, a man of about 7 kg (15.5 lbs). Because lionesses hunt in open spaces where it is easy to see their prey, hunting each other increases the chances of a successful hunt, this is particularly true for the larger species. Lions and spotted hyenas occupy the same ecological niche (and competing), where they coexist. Lions are usually ignored noted hyenas, as they kill or harassed by them, and secondly, as a rule much to respond to the presence of the lions, there is food or not.

 

Lions capture of hyena kills noticed: in the Ngorongoro Crater, it is common for lions, consisting mainly in the kill stolen from the hyenas, hyena which increase the speed of the murder. The Lions quickly followed by calls of hyenas eating, and this fact was proved by Dr Hans Kruuk, who found that the Lions have repeatedly approached him when he played on the recordings of the calls of hyenas feeding. In the collision to kill lions, spotted hyenas, either leave or wait patiently for a distance of 30-100 meters (100-350 feet) to the Lions finished. In some cases, spotted hyenas are bold enough to eat with the lions, and sometimes it can get from killing a lion.

Lions may charge for hyenas and beat them for no apparent reason one of the male lion was shot with two hyenas matriarchy, in some cases without food, and a lion predation may reach 71% of all deaths in Etosha hyena. Spotted hyenas are often adapted mobbing lions on their territory. Lions tend to smaller felines such as cheetahs and leopards, where they occur together, to steal their prey and kill their young and even adults, to dominate the occasion. The cheetah has a 50% chance to lose to kill lions and other predators. Leopards also use this tactic, but have the advantage that there may be much better on small prey than either lions and cheetahs.

Unlike cheetahs, leopards can climb trees and use them to keep their baby and a lion kill. However, the lion occasionally successful in climbing a leopard kills. Even lions dominate African wild dogs, not only taking their kills but also preying on the young, and (rarely) adult dogs. The population density of wild dogs in the low areas where the lions are abundant. Nile crocodile is the only sympatric predator (besides man), the lion who can only threaten. Depending on the size of the crocodile and the lion, as you can lose kills or carrion to another. The Lions are known for crocodiles venturing onto the ground dead, while the reverse is true for lions entering waterways as evidenced by a lion claw occasionally found in the stomach of a crocodile. About 300 lions live in a 1412 km2 (545 square miles) sanctuary in Gujarat, covering most of the forest cover. Their numbers are slowly increasing When resting, lion socialization occurs through multiple behaviors and expressive movements are highly developed animal. Males tend to rub other males, while cubs and women rubbing women. Head and neck are the most common parts of the body licked, which can result from the utility as a lion can not lick these areas individually. The Lions have an array of facial expressions and postures that are visual gestures. Lion sounds are growling, hissing, coughing, meowing, barking and roaring. Lions tend to roar in a very characteristic manner, starting with a few deep, long roars that trail of a series of shorter.

Turtle

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Turtle | The largest living Chelonian is the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), a shell length of 200 centimeters (6.6 ft) and weighs over 900 kg (2,000 lb) to achieve. Freshwater turtles are generally smaller, but the largest species, the Asian softshell turtle Pelochelys cantorii, some people were up to 200 centimeters (6.6 ft) reports. This dwarfs even the better-known alligator snapping turtle, the largest in North America Chelonian, reaching a shell length of up to 80 centimeters (2.6 ft) and weighs less than 113.4 kg (250 pounds).

The largest ever was Chelonian ischyros Archelon, a Cretaceous sea turtle known to have been up to 4.6 meters (15 feet) long. The smallest turtle is the spotted turtle padloper of South Africa. Two other species of small turtles are the American mud turtles and musk turtles that live in an area that runs from Canada to South America. Most turtles that spend most of their lives on the land have their eyes looking up objects for themselves. Some turtles, like snapping turtles and softshell turtles have eyes closer to the top of the head. Sea turtles have glands near their eyes, salty tears that drink their body of excess salt from the water they get rid of products.

Turtles are thought to have exceptional night vision due to the abnormally large number of rods in their retinas. Turtles have red color vision with a wealth of cone subtypes with sensitivities of the near ultraviolet (UVA) on. Some land turtles have very poor pursuit movement abilities, usually for the predators that hunt quick moving prey are reserved, but carnivorous turtles can easily break their heads. Turtles have a strong beak. Turtles use their jaws to cut and chew. Carnivorous turtles usually have sharp edges to cut through their prey. Herbivorous turtles have serrated edges burrs, they help you through tough plants. Turtles use their tongues to swallow food on, but they can not, unlike most reptiles, start stabbing their tongues to food.

The rest of the skin with the skin is of a much smaller scale, comparable with the skin of other reptiles. Turtle skin is not in one go, as do snakes, but continuously cut into small pieces. Tortoises also shed skin, but a lot of dead skin in thick knobs and plates that accumulate to provide protection to parts of the body outside the shell. Although many turtles spend large amounts of their lives underwater, all turtles breathe air and must meet regularly to fill their lungs. You Aquatic respiration in Australian freshwater turtles is currently being investigated. Turtles lay their eggs like other reptiles, which are slightly soft and leathery. Turtle eggs prepared to eat consist mainly of yolk. In some species, temperature determines whether an egg causes a man or a woman, a woman developed a lower temperature, higher temperature causes man.

If the turtles to hatch, they wriggle their way to the surface and then towards the water. Sea turtles lay their eggs on dry sandy beaches. Immature sea turtles are not cared for by adults. This has inspired genetic researchers, an examination of the turtle for longevity genes The first proto-turtles have existed probably in the Late Triassic of the Mesozoic Era, about 220 million years ago, and their shells, which remained remarkably stable body plan is thought of bony extensions of their backbones and developed wide have ribs that expanded and grew together to form a complete shell that protection to form at each stage of its development, even if the bony part of the container was not complete.

Odontochelys a complete bony plastron and an incomplete shell, similar to an early stage of embryonic turtle. More recent morphological phylogenetic studies made in this sense turtles firmly in diapsids, slightly closer to Squamata than to Archosauria. All molecular studies have strongly confirmed the placement of turtles into diapsids, turtles everywhere in Archosauria, or, more generally, as a group, consisting archosaurs sister, but an analysis of Lyson et al. (2012) found turtles as the sister group of the lepidosaurs place. Reanalysis prior phylogenies suggests the classified turtles as anapsids both because they assumed that (study, most of them, what kind anapsid are turtles) this classification because they do not do sample of fossil and extant taxa broadly enough for constructing the cladogram .

Even the traditional placement of turtles outside Diapsida can not be excluded at this point. turtle traits, and thus probably had many millions of years of evolution and the former species of turtle in his pedigree. Turtles are two existing submissions, and the Cryptodira Pleurodira divided. The Cryptodira is the larger of the two groups, and includes all sea turtles, the terrestrial turtles, and many of the freshwater turtles. The Pleurodira are also known as the side-necked turtles, a reference to the way they pull their heads into their shells known. This smaller group consists primarily of various freshwater turtles.

Seven species of sea turtles worldwide. The meat of turtles, or calipash Calipee was, and is considered a delicacy in some cultures. Turtle soup is a valuable shell in Anglo-American dishes and is still in some parts of Asia. Gopher tortoise stew with some groups in Florida was very popular.Turtles remain a part of the traditional diet on the island of Grand Cayman, so much so that when the wild population has been exhausted, a turtle farm is designed to collect turtles for their meat.

Hamster

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Hamster | Hamsters are generally stocky, with tails shorter than body length, and have small furry ears, short, stocky legs and feet wide. Hamsters are very flexible, but their bones are brittle. Two species of hamsters belonging to the genus phodopus camp belli phodopus (Campbell dwarf hamster) and phodopus sungorus (Djungarian hamster) and two species of the genus Cricetulus barabensis Cricetulus (Chinese hamster striped) and Cricetulus griseus (Chinese hamster) have a dark stripe along head to tail. The species of the genus phodopus are the smallest, with bodies from 5.5 to 10.5 centimeters (2.2 to 4.1 inch) long, the largest is the European hamster (Cricetus Cricetus), measuring up to 34 centimeters (13 , 4 inch), with the exception of a short tail to 6 cm (2.4 inch). The Angora hamster, also known as long-haired or Teddy Bear hamster, which is a kind of hamster is the hamster race second, measuring up to 18 centimeters (7.1 inches)

Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) are generally solitary and may fight to the death or put together. Some dwarf hamster species with others of the same species. Russian hamsters a close, monogamous relationship with their friends. It can even lead to obesity in hamsters.Reproductive life of the female takes about 18 months, but male hamsters remain fertile for much longer. The hamsters are seasonal breeders. The gestation period lasts 16 to 18 days before the golden hamsters, 18 to 21 days for the Russian hamsters, 21 to 23 days for Chinese hamsters and 23 to 30 for Roborovski hamsters.

Campbell's Dwarf Hamsters tend to have 4 to 8 in a litter, but to 13. Djungarian hamsters tend to have slightly smaller litters, as do Chinese and Roborovski hamsters.Chinese hamster women are known to be aggressive towards men, as held together too long. In some cases, the Chinese hamster dying after being attacked by the matrix. If breeding Chinese hamsters, it is advisable to separate the pair after mating or the hamsters will attack each other. Female Syrian hamsters are very aggressive towards the male hamsters and must be separated immediately after the selection to prevent an attack. Hamsters are born naked and blind in a nest that the mother will have prepared.

Most breeders sell the hamsters to shops when the hamsters are three to nine weeks. The best known species of hamster is the Syrian or golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), which type of hamster most commonly kept as pets. It is also sometimes called "fancy" hamster. Pet stores also have taken to calling them "honey bears", "panda", "Black Bear", "European black bears," "Polar Bear", "teddy bears" and "Dalmatian", depending on stains. Other hamsters that are kept as pets are the different types of "dwarf hamster".

 

Campbell dwarf hamster (phodopus camp belli) is the most common, they are also called "Russian Dwarfs", but many hamsters are from Russia, and so this ambiguous name does not sufficiently distinguish them from other species. The coat of the Djungarian or winter white Russian dwarf hamster (phodopus sungorus) is almost white in winter (when the hours of daylight decrease). The Roborovski Hamster (phodopus roborovskii) is very small and fast, making it difficult to keep as pets.Chinese hamsters (Cricetulus griseus), but not technically a "dwarf hamster" is true, is the only hamster with a prehensile tail (about 4 cm long), most hamsters have very short, non-grasping tails.There are also owners who raised their hamsters.
