Boa

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Boa | Boa is a large snake, although only slightly in size compared to other large snakes such as the Burmese python networked and lengths anywhere from 3 to 13 feet (0.91 to 4.0 m), to the extent they can be, depending location and availability of suitable prey. There are clear differences between the sexes, the type seen in women, usually greater length and width than men. As such, the average size of an adult female boa 7-10 ft (2.1 to 3.0 meters), while the 6-8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) for men. Report boa constrictor growing up to 18 5 ft (5.6 m), then misidentified green anaconda. Boa snake is thick and large specimens weighing up to 27 kg (60 lbs). Female gender, higher, better known to weigh 10-15 kg (22-33 lbs). Size and weight Boa constrictor depends on subspecies, and the local availability of suitable prey. There are several populations of Boa constrictor as a "dwarf" boa constrictors, such as the known population of B. c imperator on Hog Island. These smaller subspecies generally insular populations. B. C. constrictor is achieved, and sometimes, advice, diameters, because it is a relatively large subspecies of Boa constrictor. Pelvic spurs are the only external sign of the primitive hind legs and pelvis, seen in all boas BoA coloring can vary greatly depending on location.


Boa constrictor has a head like an arrow, special edge up. Boa constrictor can feel the warmth of his mouth cells, although mistakes I see around these receptors in many members of the family Boidae, nasal sores. Boas have two lungs, one (non-functional) left and enlarged right lower lung (functional) to better fit their elongated shape, unlike many snakes, which completely lost the left lung. Boa constrictor flourishes in a wide range of environmental conditions, from tropical rainforests to arid semi-desert country. However, the forest is preferred due to humidity and temperature, natural cover from predators and live large number of potential prey. Boa constrictor will also occupy the caves of medium-sized mammals, where it can hide from potential predators. Boa constrictor usually live alone and do not communicate with other snakes when they want to mate. As a semi-tree snakes, boa can juveniles trees and shrubs, but enhance crew, who are mostly in adulthood ground and harder. Boa constrictor attack when they feel threatened and bite in defense.


Specimens from Central America are irascible, hissing loudly and repeatedly strike when disturbed, while those from South America tame easily. Like all snakes, boa constrictor, a shed cycle is unpredictable. Boa is ovoviviparous, give birth to live young. They are usually played in the dry season from April to August and polygamous, both males mate with females more. In 2010, the boa constrictor appears reproduce asexually by parthenogenesis. During the breeding female boa gives the fragrance its sewer men win fight for the right to mate with her. When playing man curling his tail around women and hemipenes embedded (or male genitals) are. When can a woman ovulate swell noticed a medium body that looks like the snake ate a big meal. The gestation period, which is calculated from the ovulation shed, is approximately 100-120 days. Females give birth to young that average fifteen to twenty inches (38-51 cm) long.

Alligator Snapping Turtle

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Alligator Snapping Turtle | The largest freshwater turtles, the caiman found mainly in the southeastern United States waters. You are in East Texas, east of the Florida peninsula and north to southern Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, south-eastern, western Illinois, southern Indiana, western Kentucky and Tennessee found. Typically only nesting females will venture on open ground. The Alligator Snapping Turtle is a large, heavy head and long, thick shell with three dorsal fins, large scales (osteoderms), a primitive appearance reminiscent of some of the plated dinosaurs. Snapping immediately distinguish between three different files pins and plates embossed on the carapace, while the loggerhead turtle has a soft shell. There is an unverified report of a (400 pounds) Snapping Turtle found in Kansas in 1937, 183 kg, but most can be controlled questionable.

Adult turtles Alligator usually ranging in length from 40.4 to 80.8 centimeters shell (15.9 to 31.8 inches) and a weight of 68-80 kg (150-180 lbs). Males are larger than females in general. Among the freshwater turtles, only reaching giant softshell turtle Chitra and unusual way Rafetus Pelochelys, native to Asia, comparable size.


The basis of man's cock is thicker than women, because the reproductive organs hidden. Turtle Hunting property in the water with his mouth open. The vermiform tongue imitates the movements of a worm to attract prey to the mouth of the turtle. The mouth is closed with great speed and force, completing the ambush. Contrary to claims that Alligator Snapping Turtles, the strength of the strongest bite of all animals was at 158 ± 18 Kg Strength registered (1550 ± 180 N, 350 ± 40 lbf), which is lower than that of other species of turtles and approximately the same level of people in relation to the size of the body of the turtle. However, these turtles must be handled with extreme care as potentially dangerous. No human deaths have been reported to be caused by alligator snapping turtles. The fishermen have the ability of species to bring glorified fish and fish stocks, while in reality is largely abundant and easy to catch prey available for each and rarely have a negative effect on huge stocks of fish. Their natural diet consists mainly of fish and carcasses of dead fish (which are often thrown into the sea Fishing), mollusks, carrion, and amphibians, as well known, snakes, eat crabs, worms, aquatic birds, turtles and other aquatic plants . In a study conducted in Louisiana, found 79.8% of the stomach contents of adult crocodile other turtles Snapping turtles together.


Alligator snapping turtles apparently often hunt at night. Small fish such as minnows, are often made in this direction by the young alligator snapping turtles, while adults have a greater amount per day to eat and needs to feed more actively. Sex baby alligator turtles depends on the temperature at which the eggs are hatched. Nests are usually dug at least 50 meters from the water's edge, to prevent flooding and drowned.

King Cobra around the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and South Asia (which is common) distributed. Snake population fell due to the destruction of forests resources in some areas.


King Cobra, like other snakes, receive chemical information in their forked tongues, which collects scent particles and transfer them to a special sensory receptor (Jacobson's organ) located in the sky. If you smell food, snakes films with language, the position of the dam (the sole owner of the language works in stereo) to measure, it also uses its keen eyesight (King Cobras are able to determine, moving prey almost 100 m [330 feet] away), intelligence and sensitivity to ground noise to track their prey. After poisoning the king cobra will begin to swallow its prey tries toxins begin the digestion of its victim. King cobras, like all snakes, have flexible jaws. This allows the King Cobra, stop swallow their prey whole and swallow prey much larger than their heads.

In some cases, the cobra may "constrict" its prey, such as birds and larger rodents, using its muscular body, though this is rare. After a large meal the snake for many months without the other can live because of slow metabolism. Nutrition is the most common snake ratsnake; such accusation often brings king cobras close to human settlements.

(Roze, 1996). Males have a longer tail than females, but females reach a greater length. The dorsal scales are smooth in 15 lines. The ventral scales number 197-217 in males and 219-233 females. Red and black rings of width separated by narrow yellow rings: The staining pattern is formed by a series of rings around the body. The red rings are usually speckled with black. People who often live in their natural habitat of a popular lullaby that children taught "black keys red, friend of Jack, red, yellow, hit, kill another." The rhyme is useful for the education of children, king snakes (Lampropeltis ssp.) Fulvio occurs in Montana and mesophilic tropical networks in Florida, as well as clearing, tall pines, oaks and scrub Network Live Oak, Slash pine flatwoods and Wiregrass.



Bites and death are very rare. The last death occurred due to the eastern coral snake in 2009, the victim was not bitten to appropriate medical care and died a few hours later, becoming the first death caused by Fulvio more than 40 years. Fulvio excluded many cases of snake bites in the United States, with only about 100 bites per year. The snake is considered confidential and are reluctant to bite rule (its toxic potential was still under discussion in 1880), and poisoning is thought to occur in only 40% of bites. But unlike New World vipers pit, coral snakes in this new world can not control the amount of venom injected primarily neurotoxic. Biting bucket often the result of an accident or near-distraction, even if a coral snake venom holds adults is enough to kill a maximum of five adults can not release all their venom in a single bite. Wyeth has the production of coral snake antivenom in 2010, citing a lack of profitability.

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Galápagos Tortoise | Turtles have a large bony armor (shell) of dull brown. A tortoise can withdraw its head, neck and front legs into their shells for protection. The legs are large and stocky, with dry, scaly skin and hard scales. On the larger islands and humid, turtles seasonally migrate between low altitudes, the lawn is in the rainy season, and areas of meadow valley high altitudes (up to 2000 feet (610 m) in the dry season. Same paths for many generations are used, creating well-marked trails through the woods as "highways turtle." In these damp islands, is sociable and turtles vaults are often found in large herds to answer the provision of more solitary and territorial seat turtles.  Some turtles were recorded at night under the overhanging rocks.


Tortoises are herbivores that eat a diet of cacti, herbs, leaves, lichens and berries.

Turtles buy most of their moisture from dew and sap in vegetation (particularly the Opuntia), thus can survive long periods without water. You can endure 18 months in the case of deprivation of food and water to survive by breaking their body fat, produce water as a byproduct. On the islands, turtles lick the morning dew from the rocks and repeated many generations formed hemispherical depressions in the rock action.

Mydas, like those of other sea turtles, have mostly black carapaces and light-colored masks. Shells children are dark olive brown, while those of mature adults are entirely brown, spotted or rays of multicolored marble. Under, the plastron of the turtle is yellow. CIn the Caribbean, the main nesting sites have been identified on Aves Island, the Virgin Islands of the United States, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica In recent years, there are signs of increased nesting in the Cayman Islands.


In U.S. waters, were breeding grounds observed in the smaller states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and along the east coast of Florida. Hutchinson Island, in particular, a nesting area in Florida waters. In the South Atlantic, the main areas chelonia mydas nesting on the island of Ascension, hosts turtle nests from 6.000 to 13.000. Key areas feeding in Florida: Indian River Lagoon, the Florida Keys, Florida Bay, Homosassa, Crystal River and Cedar Key. Green turtles move about three habitat types, depending on the position of their lives. They lay their eggs on the beaches. Adult turtles spend most of their time in shallow coastal waters with lush seagrass beds. Green turtles usually swim 2.5 -3 kmh (06:01 to 09:01 mph). Only human beings and the larger sharks feed on C. Chelonia adults. Specifically, tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) hunt adults in Hawaiian waters. Green turtles migrate long distances between feeding and breeding grounds, some swim more than 2600 km (1600 miles) away. At the spawning grounds Adult turtles often return to the exact beach where they were born.


The Guyana nest nesting subpopulation from March to June in the tropics, green turtles nest throughout the year, although some subpopulations prefer particular times of the year. In Pakistan, Indian Ocean turtles nest year-round, but prefer the months of July to December. Sea turtles mating is similar to other sea turtles. Female turtles control the process.

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Burmese Python | Burmese pythons are dark brown spots with black edge on the back of many snakes. The trend is the same color, but different in its current African Rock Python (Python sebae), sometimes resulting in confusion of the two species outside their natural habitat. In the wild, Burmese pythons reach 3.7 meters (12 feet) on average, while specimens of more than 4 meters (13 feet) are rare. In general, people of more than 5 meters are rare. The maximum record length Burmese Python is owned by a woman named "Baby," who lived in Serpent Safari in Gurnee, Illinois, 27 years. Bali reach an average length of 2 meters (6.6 feet) and Sulawesi up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet). The Burmese python is found throughout the south and south-east of East Asia, such as India, Nepal, Bhutan West, Southeast Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam northern peninsular Malaysia, far south of China ( Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan), Hong Kong and Indonesia Java, South Sulawesi, Bali and Sumbawa. Burmese pythons have also been reported Kinmen, near China, but the territory of Taiwan, Burmese Python belongs to the flora of Taiwan in Taiwan refers to the Republic of China, but not in Taiwan.


The python is an excellent swimmer and needs a permanent source of water. Burmese pythons are inhabitants of tropical forests, especially at night. Burmese pythons spend most of their time hidden in the underbrush. Winter Rest is biologically distinct from hibernation. Controversy exists whether the Burmese subspecies can brumate. Burmese Pythons breed in the spring, with females laying clutches which are an average of 12-36 eggs in March or April. Once the children use their egg tooth to leave their eggs, no other maternal care. Like all snakes, Burmese pythons are carnivores. Their diet consists mainly of birds and mammals of sufficient size. The snake uses its sharp teeth pointing to seize its prey, then wraps its body around the prey, while the muscles, killing the prey by constriction. Burmese pythons are often sold as pets, and was famous for its color and nature seemingly tolerant. However, these animals have a rapid growth, and often exceed 2.1 meters (7 feet) in length in a year if cared for and well fed.


Moreover, consuming large amounts of food, and for their size, require large, often custom, safety cabinets, which can be very expensive. A problem with the secondary energy Burmese pythons is that many owners believe if a snake is hungry fed. As Burmese pythons are opportunistic feeders, they will eat almost any food when offered, and often act hungry even after eating recently. A three-meter long Burmese python can easily kill a child [and five meters (about 16.5 feet) Burmese python is certainly capable of hitting and killing an adult.

At least one source also refers to Kemp "turtle grief." In his book "The Great Rescue Ridley," Pamela Philips says that the name was invented by fishermen who witnessed turtles die after turtle (back). Kemp Ridleys Mexico first protected in 1960. United States, Kemp was first included in the Endangered Species Conservation Act 1970 2 December 1970, then under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973.


A mechanism that protects turtles in fishing nets is the turtle excluder device (TED). In September 2007, Corpus Christi, Texas, wildlife officials record 128 Kemp nests on the beaches of the Sea of Texas including 81 on North Padre Island (Padre Island National Seashore) and four on Mustang Island. Wildlife officials released 10,594 Kemp Ridleys boy along the Texas coast this year. Turtles are popular in Mexico as boot material and food. Some olive ridley turtles were transported from Mexico after the explosion of 1979 Ixtoc 1 platform where millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill threatens a wide variety of marine life, dolphins blue crabs. Of 30 April 2010, 10 days after the accident on the Deepwater Horizon, there are 156 deaths of sea turtles, most turtles are Kemp Ridleys.

Saltwater Crocodile

 

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Saltwater Crocodile | The saltwater crocodile is one of the three crocodiles in India, the other two are the most common, mugger crocodile and less narrow snout, fish eating Gharial. In addition to the east coast of India, is the saltwater crocodile is extremely rare in the Indian subcontinent. A huge population of saltwater crocodiles (consisting of many large adults, including a 7 meter male) is located inside the Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary of Orissa and they are known for.


In northern Italy (contains the northernmost regions of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland) the Saltwater Crocodile is thriving, particularly in the basins closer to Darwin (as Adelaide, Mary and Daly Rivers, along with their billabong and adjacent estuaries) where large (six-meter +) individuals are not uncommon. The population of saltwater crocodiles in Australia estimated anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 adults. In Australia, the species with the smaller freshwater crocodile or Johnston muzzle close co-exist. Alligator Rivers Region Arnhem Land is the similarity of the Saltwater Crocodile Alligator misleading freshwater crocodiles, which also inhabit the Northern Territory respect. There are overlapping area with Guinea crocodile rarer, less aggressive New.


The saltwater crocodile was historically found in South-East Asia, but is now extinct in much of this area. Probably the only country in Indochina still harbors wild populations of this species is Myanmar. Despite the proximity to the crocodile hot-bed of northern Australia, crocodiles no longer exist in Bali. A small population in Ujung Kulon National Park remain in West Java. The saltwater crocodile is also very limited in parts of the South Pacific, with an average population in the Solomon Islands, a very small population, and soon in Vanuatu (where the population is officially only three) (extinct and decent, but the population at risk may rebounds) in Palau. Saltwater crocodiles once ranged as far west as the east coast of Africa, the Seychelles. These crocodiles once believed to be a population of Nile crocodiles, but were later proven to be Crocodylus porosus.


Because of their tendency to travel long distances at sea, individual saltwater crocodiles occasionally occur in areas that are not indigenous. In late 2008 and early 2009, a handful of wild saltwater crocodiles are been verified reported in the Fraser River systems Iceland, hundreds of miles live by, and the water is much colder than its Queensland range normally. Saltwater crocodiles generally spend the tropical wet season in freshwater swamps and rivers, moving downstream estuaries during the dry season, and sometimes traveling far into the sea. Junior crocodiles are required to obtain the more marginal river systems and sometimes into the sea. The saltwater crocodile is an opportunistic predator capable of any animal that enters its territory, either in water or on land.


The saltwater crocodile bring animals of almost every variety that is available to them and the enormous strength and size of the animals, a large prey of all modern crocodiles lead. The boys are limited to small animals such as insects, amphibians, crustaceans, small reptiles and fish. The larger the animal, the greater the range of animals in which their diet contains, though relatively small aquatic animals prey (especially fish) are an important part of the diet in adults. Adult saltwater crocodiles can potentially eat large animals within their range, including monkeys, kangaroos, wild boar, wild dogs, snakes, turtles, lizards, birds, pets, animals, people, buffalo, gaurs, bats and even sharks. They are dominant over other crocodiles, outcompeting regularly and occasionally kill and eat other species, as it was recorded primarily with freshwater crocodiles in Australia. In 2011 he killed a large saltwater crocodile a Bengal tiger, if the tiger was a river crossing, the only known attack of this type are considered pets, horses, water buffalo and gaur, all of which can weigh more than a ton, the biggest victims of male crocodiles caught.


Saltwater crocodiles are capable of explosive bursts of speed when an attack from the water, but the stories of crocodiles are faster than a race horse for short distances on the ground no more than urban legend. Many victims are due to the effects of high pressure jaw killed by the crocodile, although some animals from drowning after the crocodile dragged in the water are killed. It 'a very powerful animal, in one case, a tonne Suffolk stallion was known to carry more than two tons of water pulled his death by a crocodile large male. A large crocodile can crush a skull adult cow, among the pines. While adults have no natural predators, the saltwater crocodiles can be a victim of lizards children, predatory fish, waterfowl and raptors to monitor multiple, larger crocodiles and other predators.
