Baboon

 

Animal You | Baboon | Great men are often faced by flickering eyelids, showing their teeth by yawning, gestures, and chasing the intruder / predator. Baboons orthographic acquire part of reading. Most baboons live in hierarchical troops. The structure within the troop varies considerably baboons and other species sometimes collectively referred to as savanna baboons. Other species of another structure based baboons with a strict hierarchy promiscuous dominance in the matriline. The sacred baboon group usually include a younger man, but do not try to mate with the females, when the older man withdrew. Baboons exchange vocal dominance determine relationships between individuals. In a clash between different families or where a subordinate baboon produces offensive, baboons show more interest in this exchange between members of the same family or when a baboon parents.

The collective noun for baboons is often "force". In the harems of the hamadryas baboons, the males jealously their wives, at the point of attack and bite females when they wander too far. However, some men harem to be attacked by women. Such situations often cause men aggressive battles. Visual threats are usually accompanied by these aggressive fights. Some men are successful under a woman from another harem, called "takeover". In many species, infant baboons are taken by men as hostages during fights. Baboon mating behavior is highly dependent on the social structure of the troop. In mixed groups of savanna baboons, each man with a woman companion. To collect this friendship can help help care for their young female preserve or by feed. Chances are that your children are young. Some women clearly prefer such nice people as friends.

A female initiates mating. His face swollen male ass Women often give birth. Generally, a child, after six months pregnant with the young baboon weighs about 400 grams and has a black epidermis when born. Baboons males leave their birth group, usually before they reach sexual maturity, while females are patrician edge and remain in the same group throughout their lives. It became known as the companion of Thoth, including sacred baboon.

Raccoon

 

Animal You | Raccoon | The body weight of an adult raccoon with an important habitat, so that the raccoon mammals of different sizes. Smaller specimens are found in South Florida, while near the northern limit of the range Raccoon more likely (see Bergmann rule). Males are usually 15 to 20% heavier than females. The largest recorded wild raccoon weighed 28.4 kg (62.6 lb) and 140 cm (55 inches) were recorded with a total length of far larger for procyonid. The physical characteristic of the raccoon is the area of black fur around the eyes, the color contrasts sharply with the surrounding white face. The dark mask may also reduce glare and improve night vision. As raccoons have short legs compared to their compact torso, they are generally not able to either run fast or jump great distances. Raccoons can with an average speed of about 5 kmh swimming (3 mph) and water to stay for a few hours. Climbing a tree for about an unusual ability for a mammal the size of a raccoon rotates its hind legs, so they are suitable for the rear. Raccoons have a dual cooling system temperature, so they are able to sweat and pant for heat dissipation to organize.

Raccoon skulls have a short and wide face area and a large skull. Males penis bones bent about 10 cm (4 inches) long and hard before. Few studies have been conducted on the mental abilities of raccoons, most of them on the animal to determine touch. In a study of scientific behavior HB Davis in 1908, raccoons were 11 of 13 locks complex to open in less than 10 attempts and had arranged no problem repeating the action when the locks were new or versa vice versa. Studies have focused, in 1963, 1973, 1975 and 1992 have shown their memory raccoon solving tasks remember three years. In a study by B. Pohl in 1992, raccoons were able to instantly differentiate between identical and different symbols three years after the short learning curve. Stanislas Dehaene reports in his book The Number Sense raccoons boxes containing two or four grapes from these three raccoons can usually distinguish degree in a delay caused by the increasing daylight between late January and mid-March. For example, while raccoons extent in the southern states generally later than average, the mating season in Manitoba also capped peaks later than usual in March and June.

The weaker members of a male social group also felt that the opportunity to mate, since the stronger can not mate with all available females. The average litter size varies widely with habitat, 2.5 to 4.8, Alabama, North Dakota. (also called "boys") are blind and deaf at birth, but their mask is already visible against their light fur. The birth weight of about 10 cm (4 inches) long kits 60-75 g (2.1 to 2.6 ounces). While many women near the beach home of their mother, males can sometimes move more than 20 km (12 miles). This is considered an instinctive behavior, preventing inbreeding. However, mother and child share a cave in the first winter in cold regions. Even if they have thrived in sparsely wooded areas in the last decades, raccoons depend on vertical structures to climb when they feel threatened. ree cavities in old oaks and other trees and rock crevices are preferred as sleeping places raccoons, winter and litter. If such dens are unavailable or access is not practical, raccoons use burrows other mammals, dense vegetation or tree crotch.

Since amphibians, crustaceans and other animals along the shores of lakes and rivers, an important part of the diet raccoon, deciduous plain or mixed with abundant water and marshes sustain the population density highest. While population densities range from 0.5 to 3.2 animals per square kilometer (1.3 to 8.3 animals per square mile) in prairies and do not usually exceed 6 animals per square kilometer (15.5 animals per square mile) in upland hardwood forests, more than 20 raccoons per square kilometer (51.8 animals per square mile) live in lowland forests and marshes. Raccoons can carry rabies, a deadly disease carried by the neurotropic rabies virus in saliva and transmitted by bites caused. Reported by the 6940 confirmed cases of rabies in the United States in 2006, there were 2615 (37.7%) in raccoons. One human death has been reported after transmission of the rabies virus from a raccoon. One of the main symptoms of rabies in raccoons are generally sickly appearance, impaired mobility, abnormal vocalization, and aggressiveness.

ince healthy animals, especially nursing mothers, sometimes daylight daytime activity in search of food. Not a reliable indicator of illness in raccoons Unlike rabies and made at least a dozen other pathogens by Raccoons distemper is a viral disease does not affect humans. This disease is the most common cause of natural death in the North American population raccoon and people of all ages. For example, 94 of 145 raccoons died during an outbreak in Clifton, Ohio, in 1968. Some of the major bacterial diseases which affect raccoons leptospirosis, listeriosis, tetanus, and tularemia. Although internal parasites weaken their immune system can help many people well fed nematodes in the digestive tract without symptoms.

Blue Jay

 

Animal You | Blue Jay | The Blue Jay measures 22-30 cm (9-12 inches) of the bill to tail and weighs 70-100 g (2.5-3.5 oz), with a wingspan of 34-43 cm (13-17 inches). When frightened, the crest bristles outwards shaped brush. When the bird feeds among other jays or resting, is flattened at the top of the head. Its plumage is lavender-blue to mid-blue on top, back, wings and tail, and his face was white. The primary wings and tail are excluded with black, blue and white. Males and females are almost identical. As most of the birds blue tones of blue color pigments derived Jay, but is the result of the interference of light by the internal structure of feathers as a blue pen is ground, the blue disappears as the structure is destroyed.

The Blue Jay comes from southern Canada through the eastern and central U.S. south to northeast Florida and Texas. The western end of the ridge, where it stops the dry forest and scrub species Steller's Jay (C. stelleri) begins. Recently, the range of the Blue Jay northwestern extended so now is a rare winter visitor, but regularly seen along the U.S. northern and southern Pacific coast of Canada. Since the overlap of the two species, since, C. cristata sometimes hybridize with Steller's jay. Miles of tiles were observed in herds migrate along the Great Lakes and the Atlantic coast. A large part of their migratory behavior remains a mystery. Jays youth are more likely to migrate than adults, but many adults migrate. Some individuals jays migrate south one year, continue north to the next winter, then migrate south again next year.

The Blue Jay occupies a variety of habitats within its range, from the pine forests of Florida to the spruce forests of northern Ontario. It is less abundant in the dense forests, preferring mixed forests of oak and beech. The Blue Jay is a passerine strong, brave and aggressive. Almost all raptors sympatric distribution with Blue Jays may precede, especially specialists hunting birds like hawks Accipiter quickly. Several predators may precede the eggs and young Jay in its infancy, including squirrels, snakes, cats, crows, raccoons, opossums, jays and perhaps many other raptors same attack adults. Blue jays can be beneficial to other species, as can raptors, such as hawks and owls, to continue and screaming as they predator in their territory.

Sometimes imitate conversations raptors, especially Red-tailed hawks and red shoulders, perhaps to test whether a hawk is nearby, but perhaps for other birds that may arise scare competition for food resources. It can also be aggressive towards people who are approaching their nests, perches and as an owl in the vicinity of the nest during the day Jay blue mobs until a new stick. However, the Blue Jays also known to attack and kill other birds. Jays are very territorial birds and prosecution of a feeder for an easy meal. Moreover, the blue jay attack the nests of other birds, eggs, chicks, and nest predation. Jays, like other corvids, are highly curious and intelligent birds are considered. The tiles are not very picky about nesting. Also suitable nests of other birds of medium size, provided that they are placed in the right places, the American robins nest often used by the Toronto Blue Jays, for example.

Tiles generally monogamous relationships for life. Both sexes build the nest and raise their young, but not female offspring. Young people after nesting, and feeding the family moved well to early autumn, when the young birds disperse to avoid competition for food during the winter. A joint life expectancy for wild birds that survive to adulthood is approximately seven years.

Arctic Fox

 

Animal You | Arctic Fox | The Arctic fox lives in a part of the cold end of the planet. The fox has occupied a small surface to volume ratio, as its generally rounded body shape, short muzzle and legs and ears short, thick. The Arctic fox has an ear so acute that accurately locate the position of prey under the snow. Foxes tend to form monogamous pairs in the breeding season. Your skin also changes color when it's summer, but in winter is white. The tail is 31 cm (12.2 inches) long in males and 30 cm (11.8 inches) long in women. Males weigh an average of 3.5 kg (7.7 lb), with a range of 3.2 to 9.4 kg (7.1 to 21 lb), while women average of 2.9 kg (6 , 4 pounds), in which a range of 1.4 to 3.2 kg (3.1 to 7.1 pounds). The arctic fox is an animal usually eats small it can find: lemmings, voles, hares, owls, eggs and carrion, etc A family of foxes can eat dozens of lemmings each day. In April and May the Arctic Fox also hunting ringed seal pups when the young animals are confined to a snow den and are relatively helpless.

If there is an oversupply of food hunted, the arctic fox will bury what the family can not eat. When its normal prey is scarce, the arctic fox and even washed the remains feces of large predators such as the polar bear, while the bear's prey includes the arctic fox itself. The conservation status of the species is good, except for the Scandinavian mainland population. Estimating the total population of Norway, Sweden and Finland, only 120 adults. The arctic fox is the only native land mammal in Iceland. The Arctic Fox Center Súðavík contains an exhibition on the arctic fox and conducts research on the impact of tourism on the population. The abundance of arctic fox species tends in a loop with the population of lemmings and voles (a cycle of 3-4 years) vary. The populations are especially vulnerable during the years when prey population crashes, and uncontrolled capture exterminated nearly two subpopulations.

The Arctic fox pelts, slate the expression of a recessive gene were particularly valuable. They were taken to various previously fox-free Aleutian Islands in 1920. The arctic fox is losing ground to the larger red fox. Red foxes dominate their ranges overlap start killing arctic foxes and kit. An alternative explanation of the benefits include the red fox, gray wolf: Historically, the number of red foxes down, but kept the wolf hunted close to extinction in much of its former range, the red fox population has grown, and is taken into African predator. In northern areas of Europe, there are programs that allow hunting of red fox in the first rank of arctic fox.

As with many other species of game are the best sources of historical documentation and game bag large populations and questionnaires. The world population is thus not endangered, but two arctic foxes are subpopulations. The other population is threatened. The total population estimate for 1997 is around 60 adults in Sweden, 11 adults in Finland and 50 in Norway. From a population of approximately 20 adult population numbers The Fennoscandian then for a total of 140 adult breeding. Even after local lemming peaks, the arctic fox population tends to collapse dangerously to lack of profitability.

Snow Goose

 

Animal You | Snow Goose | The Snow Goose has two color plumage turns white (snow) or gray / blue (blue), for the general description of "snow" and "Blue". White-morph birds are white except for black wing tips, but blue morph geese have bluish-gray plumage replacing the white except on the head, neck and tail. Both snow and blue phases pink feet and legs red and pink bills with black anatomy ("hot"), giving them a black "grin patch White-and-blue birds morph partner and children be morph. These two colors of geese were once be as distinct species, and together they cross the whole area are now two color phases of the same species considered. The color phases are genetically controlled. Overlay size a little "caused to question the division is the smallest subspecies, the Lesser Snow Goose (C. c caerulescens.), Lives from central northern Canada to the Bering Strait region, the Lesser Snow Goose 25. The largest subspecies, the Greater Snow Goose (C. c . atlanticus), nests in northeastern Italy. Blue-morph birds are some of the snow geese and rarest among eastern populations of Asia Minor.

Snow geese often nest in colonies. Nesting usually begins in late May or early June, depending on snow conditions. The female chooses a nest and the nest built in an area of high ground. When snow geese and Ross geese breed together, as in La Perouse, sometimes hybridize and hybrids are fertile. Hybrid rarely observed with Big Goose, Canada Goose, goose and screaming. The breeding population of Lesser Snow Goose more than 5 million birds, an increase of more than 300 percent since mid-1970.  Nonbreeding geese (children or adults who do not nest successfully) are not included in this estimate, so the total number of geese is even higher. Lesser Snow Goose population rates are the highest values has ensured population data, and suggests that large populations previously unaffected parts of Snow Geese Hudson Bay coast career spanned late May to mid- August, but they leave their breeding areas and spend more than half the year on their migration to and from warmer wintering areas. During the spring migration, large flocks of snow geese fly very high along narrow corridors, more than 3000 miles of traditional wintering areas of the tundra.

The Snow Goose minor is traveling through the central route, through some of the richest farmland in America. The first transition was rice fields where geese feed on weeds and eat the grain can go through the combine. The geese had also begun to wheat fields sown in autumn to winter wheat in particular grazing. Many biologists, that the change of winter feeding has led to an oversupply of geese. Winter can be the time of year that sets the upper limit for the population of geese. Now, the abundance of snow geese Farm Grain waste produced with excellent food available and improved the survival of wintering geese. In winter, snow geese feed on leftover grain in the field. Snow geese often travel together and eat more fronted Geese, by contrast, tend to avoid traveling and feeding alongside two Canada geese are often heavier birds.

Nest predators highlights include arctic foxes and skuas. The eggs and young chicks are vulnerable to predators, but adults are generally safe. They were seen nesting near Snowy Owl nests, which is probably a solution looting. Few predators hunting snow geese regularly outside the breeding season, but Eagles Bald Eagles (and possibly gold) join wintering geese.

Tapir

 

Animal You | Tapir | Tapirs are often flehmen response, a posture in which they raise their snouts and show their teeth to detect odors. The length of the proboscis varies among species; Malay tapirs have longer snouts and Brazilian Tapirs are shorter. Tapirs are lophodonts, and the wheels are different lophs (ridges) between protocones, paracones, and metacones hypocones. Tapirs have brown eyes, often with a bluish tint to them, which is identified as the cloudy cornea, a condition most common Malayan tapirs. Tapirs have simple stomachs, and, like horses, ferment food in the big blind. Young tapirs reach sexual maturity between three and five years, women mature earlier than men. Apart from young mothers and their offspring, tapirs lead almost exclusively solitary life. With the remaining freshwater, tapirs often wallow in mud pits, which also helps to keep them fresh and free from insects.

In the wild, the tapir's diet consists of fruits, berries and leaves, especially young, growing tender. Tapirs spend much of their waking hours foraging along the beaten path, muzzle the ground in search of food. Tapirs are largely nocturnal and crepuscular, but the small mountain tapir in the Andes is generally more active during the day than their counterparts. Tapirs were first published in the Oligocene. Asian and American tapirs are believed to have been about 20 to 30 million years, and tapirs migrated from North America South America about 3 million years ago, as part of the Great American exchange. The giant tapir Megatapirus survived until about 4000 years in China. Tapir may have evolved from the Hyracotherium paleo there (which was thought to be a primitive horse).

The Tapir Specialist Group, part of the Species Survival Commission of the IUCN Species strives to biological diversity by stimulating, developing and executing practical programs to study, save, restore and manage the four species of tapir and their remaining habitats in Central and South America and Southeast Asia Baird Tapir Project of Costa Rica is the largest ongoing tapir project in the world, which began in 1994. These are the collars on tapirs in Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica study their social systems and habitat preferences World Tapir Day April 27, 2008.
