Golden Eagle

 

Animal You | Golden Eagle | The golden eagle is a large, broad wings brown rapist. Younger (subspecies A. c. Japanese alliance), sex, weight 2.5 kg (5.5 LB) and 3.25 kg (7.2 LB). In general, the species the males are on average about 3.6 kg (7.9 LB) and females average about 5.1 kg (11 lbs). Maximum size of this species is a matter of some debate, although it is normal for a maximum weight of the female about 6.8 kg (15 lbs) and large breeds are the most representative of the Eagle. Captive birds were measured with a wingspan of 2.81 m (9.2 ft) and a weight of 12.1 kg (27 lb) (the latter number for eagle falconry). Standard dimensions of the species on the wing chord length of two 50-72 cm (20-28 inches), a tail length of 26.5 to 38 cm (10.4 to 15 inches) and a length of 9.4 CLARION - 12.2 cm (3.7 to 4.8 in). Most adults with brown thin tip of the back and tail of a dog, golden wings. Tarsal feathers range from white to dark brown.


Young dark, unfaded color, white patches in the remiges which may be divided by darker feathers, and a large amount of white in the tail with a black terminal band. Occasionally upper wing feathers of the children are also white birds or missing entirely white on the wings. Size also easily this type differs from most birds seen. The eagle and eagle, the golden rule for a long time, compared, and it is considerably less than at the tip of the tail. With the great, I love the shape of the wings, which are more or less SHELF-hawk With most of their juvenile stage eagle osprey striped strong, gold is stronger than a golden brown. It is distinct from other Eagle Aquila in Eurasia greater problem recognition.


This identification of wisdom relatively long tail of a dog, a white or golden examples of the wings and tail. Not far from the head and neck scarf are from other lighter Gold Eagle. Eagles eagles most are dark, looking in plumage, but slightly less than the tawny eagle (A. rapax) is lighter than the golden eagle. Imperial East (A. heliaca) and Spanish Imperial Eagle (A. Adalbert) are very similar in size between the Eurasian eagle, golden eagle, but are by their long necks, flat wings in flight, white wing shoulder on the cover and in general distinguished with a darker color. Under the genus Aquila, only long wings and tail of the Wedge-tailed Eagle are (A. fat) than the golden eagle, the average width and length.


The largest number of eagles were found that day in the mountains, hunting and builds its nest on their part, along with many others, as the eagle of the rock formations. Golden eagles usually nest in abandoned areas where human disturbance is minimal and often densely populated areas to avoid during the whole year. Some populations of golden eagles and other migratory sedentary. Eagles Nest tend in colder climates, such as Alaska, Scandinavia and Russia to points further south by the decline in available food sources in the north migrate. Determining the constitution of a mixture of things, flight, growing up by the nature of species and. Golden Eagles usually mate for life.


In the western United States, eagle nest can vary 22-33 square miles, and those north more nest maintained end 39 square miles. Old nests can be 2 meters (3.3 feet) in height, as the eagles repair their nests when necessary and larger every time. Mammals, birds, small animals, often the cause of a huge nest like a shadow, how to be a thief. Their enemies are just the right size for Golden Eagle prey, and therefore avoid active nests. The eggs are white to all white with cinnamon or brown spots. Vary independence from parents may arrive 32-80 days after the young adults. In most cases only the older chick survives, junior dies without leaving the nest. Golden Eagles much time and effort in raising their young to hunt on their own, most Golden Eagles survive many years, but mortality even among first born chick is much higher, especially in the first few weeks after hatching. Of eagles cruelty "golden eagle predation rarely too young eggs. The only known predators golden eagle nests are brown bears and wolverines. Large part of the year, even though they die will live, pubic golden eagle which remains.

Emperor Penguin

 

Animal You | Emperor Penguin | The adult Emperor Penguin stands up to 110-130 cm (43-51 inches) tall. With men weigh more than women heavier birds fifth, after the larger species of ratites. Weight varies by season, as male and female penguins lose substantial weight in raising offspring and egg incubation. A male emperor penguin, Antarctic cold for more than two months to object to their eggs to protect against extreme cold. Penguins Most men lose about 12 kg (26 lb), pending their children to come. After the breeding season this drops to 23 kg (51 lb) for both sexes. Like all penguin species, the Emperor has a streamlined body to minimize drag while swimming, and wings, stiff, flat flippers. The adult has deep black dorsal feathers. 'S head, chin, neck, back, chest and part of the tail fins The black plumage is clearly defined by the bright plumage elsewhere.


The upper 8 cm (3 inches) long bill is black, and the lower jaw is pink, orange or purple creature. The Emperor Penguin chick is typically covered with silver-gray down and has. Chicks weigh around 315 g (11 oz.) The emperor penguin dark plumage fades from November to February, before the yearly moult in January and February. Emperor Penguin feathers come from the skin after a third of its total length has grown and is lost before old feathers to go, to reduce heat loss. The annual survival of emperor penguins is measured at 95.1%. The emperor penguin breeds in the cold environment of all species of birds, the air temperature reaches -40 ° C (-40 ° F) and the wind speed can reach 144 kmh (89 mph). Water temperature is a frigid -1.8 ° C (28.8 ° F), much less than the average weight of the emperor penguin, the temperature of 39 ° C (102 ° F). The type is modified in various ways to the heat loss.


The resulting fat layer impedes the mobility of the Emperor on land compared to less insulating fat cousin, the Magellanic penguin. With around 100 feathers that one square inch (15 feathers per cm 2), with the highest density of each spring bird species. An extra layer of insulation is formed by separate tree with soft bristles between feathers and skin. Emperor penguins are able to regulate the temperature (to maintain body temperature). Without their metabolism, over a wide temperature range so-called neutral temperature range extends from -10 to 20 ° C (14 ° to 68 ° F). At temperatures above 20 ° C (68 ° F), an emperor penguin can change how your body temperature and metabolic rate, increases heat loss. Penguin bones fixed place of air filling, so the risk of barotrauma eliminates mechanics. While diving, the Emperor penguin oxygen consumption decreased, and your heart rate can be reduced as low as 15 to 20 beats per minute and closed non-essential organs, facilitating longer dives.


The emperor penguin is a circumpolar distribution in the Antarctic almost exclusively between 66 ° and 77 ° south latitude. Breeding colonies are usually in areas where ice cliffs and icebergs from the wind. Around 80,000 pairs breed in the Ross Sea sector. Important breeding colonies at Cape Washington (20,000 to 25,000 pairs), Coulman Iceland in Victoria Land (around 22,000 pairs), Halley Bay, Coats Land (14.300 to 31.400 pairs), and Atka Bay in Queen Maud Land is (16,000 pairs). Vagos have heard Iceland, South Georgia was incorporated in New Zealand and emperor penguin predators are birds and mammals. The Southern Giant Petrel (Macronectes giganteus) is the predominant land predator of chicks, responsible for up to 34% of chicken deaths in some colonies, but often intercept dead penguins. Predators are known in aquatic mammals: the leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) have a copy number of adults and chicks shortly after entering the water and the Orca (Orcinus orca), which takes adult birds.

Burmese Python

 

Animal You | Burmese Python | Burmese Pythons are dark-colored snakes with many brown spots on limited black on the back. The perceived attractiveness of their skin pattern contributes to their popularity among reptile owners and leather industry. The model is similar in color, but differ in the current model of the African Rock Python (Python sebae), which leads to confusion of the two species outside their natural habitat sometimes. In the wild, Burmese pythons grow to 3.7 meters (12 feet) on average, while specimens of more than 4 meters (13 feet) rarely. The maximum record length for Burmese pythons will. There are dwarf forms of Java, Bali and Sulawesi. In Bali reach an average length of 2 meters (6.6 feet) and Sulawesi reach up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet).


The Burmese python is found in South and Southeast Asia, including eastern India, Nepal, western Bhutan, Southeast Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Continental north, far south of China ( Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan), Hong Kong, and Indonesia in Java, South Sulawesi, Bali and Sumbawa. Burmese pythons are also reported Kinmen, close to the mainland of China, but Taiwan Burmese Python territory belongs to the Flora of Taiwan Taiwan, when referring to the Republic of China, but not in Taiwan. The python is an excellent swimmer and needs a permanent source of water. That in the meadows, marshes, swamps, rocky hills, forests, river valleys and forests with clearings are.


Burmese pythons are mostly inhabitants of the jungle. Burmese Pythons spend most of their time hidden in the underbrush. Burmese Pythons breed in the spring, while women are clutches. 12-36 eggs on average in March or April She will remain with the eggs until they hatch and wrapping his spasms of muscles in a way that increases the ambient temperature around the eggs by several degrees. All the giant pythons (including the Indian Python, the African Rock Python, and the reticulated python). Burmese Python IUCN has recently been classified as "endangered" what. Its population decline in general Important reasons for the decline are the fur trade and food, habitat destruction can be a problem in some mountain areas.


Hong Kong is a protected species under the Wild Animals Protection Ordinance Cap 170 Burmese Pythons are often sold as pets, and became popular for its attractive color and apparently tolerant nature. A second problem with feeding Burmese pythons is that many owners believe if a snake acts hungry must be fed. As Burmese pythons are opportunistic investors, eat almost nothing to eat, if offered, and often act hungry even if they ate little. This often leads to overeating and obesity-related problems are common in captive Burmese pythons.


The colored Burmese python is frequently captive bred, pattern and size now. Breeders have recently begun, with a line of Burmese pythons Island. Initial reports indicate that these "dwarf" Burmese have slightly different coloring and pattern of their mainland relatives and grow no more than 2.1 meters (7 feet) long. The caramel Burmese python has caramel-colored pattern with "milk chocolate" eyes.

Chipmunk

 

Animal You | Chipmunk | Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet consisting mainly of seeds, nuts and other fruits, and buttons. Around humans, squirrels, cereals and vegetables and other plants cultivated farms and gardens to eat, so sometimes considered pests. Squirrels usually feed on the ground, but climb trees to nuts like hazelnuts and acorns to get. At the beginning of autumn, many species of squirrels begin conservation non-perishable food for the winter. Ready to cache their food in a supermarket in their dens, and remain in the nest until the spring, unlike other species, more cache small amounts of food. Western chipmunks only breed once a year.


Chipmunks construct expansive burrows more than 3.5 m in length, with a number of well-hidden entrances. Squirrels hibernate in winter, while the non Western squirrels, according to the shops in their dens. Squirrels play an important role as prey for various mammals and birds of prey, but are also opportunistic predators of the same, in particular with regard to the eggs and young birds. In Oregon, have tile mountains (currucoides Siala) observed energetically mobbing chipmunks that they see near their nest trees


It is believed that mammals can sleep in the subway, such as rodents and bats tend to sleep longer than those who must remain alert Chipmunks can be classified as a genre, Tamias, or as three genera: Tamias, including chipmunk, Eutamias, including the squirrel Siberian and Neotamias, with the remaining 23 species, mostly western cover.

Black Mamba

 

Animal You | Black Mamba | The adult black mamba back color olive, brown, gray or khaki times. A young snake is lighter, but not light enough to be confused with the different types of Green Mamba. The impression of the side rails inside the mouth is dark blue to black as ink. The eyes are dark brown to black, with a silvery white with a yellow border to students. These snakes are strong, but thin in the body: adult specimens are 2.5 to 3 meters (8.2 to 9.8 feet) long, on average, but samples measuring 3.1 to 3.75 m (10 to 12.3 feet) are relatively common, and some specimens have reached lengths of 4.3 to 4.5 meters (14-15 feet). The longest measured scientifically, was captured wild black mamba recorded 4.48 m (14.7 ft), located in Zimbabwe. Body slender yet powerful black mamba adult "can typically weigh 1.6 to 3.1 kg (3.5 to 6.8 lbs.)


Information about the life of snakes in nature is poor, the longer life expectancy registered a Black Mamba prisoner is 14, but the actual time may be much higher maximum. 23-25 scale rows are smooth midsection back subcaudals rarely (21 rows), 248-281 and 109-132 ventrals combined. temporal bone are variable, usually 2 +3 The black mamba has adapted to a variety of climates, from savannas , forests, farmlands, rocky hillsides, dense forests and swamps are wet. savanna grasslands and forests / bushes that stretches all the way from southern and eastern Europe, Central and Western, Eastern and Southern Africa, Black Mamba the typical habitat. often use Black Mambas abandoned termite mounds and trees hollows for shelter. abandoned termite mounds used particularly when the snake somewhere to cool off when the hill in a kind of "natural air conditioning" the research system.


Territorial As a species, but the Mamba Black is back in its territory or the nest undisturbed. This species is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2011). Black Mambas shows little deviation from the standard methods of communication and perception found in snakes. Like many snakes when they feel threatened, they attack with a series of signals to warn possible breed black mamba attack shown once a year. The breeding season begins in the spring, which occurs around the month of September in the regions of Africa where these snakes occur, so much of sub-Saharan Africa is in the southern hemisphere. During this period, males fight over females.


mating Beyond males and no-no females interact. Watching his friend, thoroughly inspect your forked tongue flicking around the body. Humans have two hemipenes. Following a long and successful copulation, the eggs develop in the female body for about 60 days. prefer women abandoned termite mounds as nests. elderly women lay 15-25 eggs , who hide very well and very aggressive protecting. Provide kittens are toxic as adults, but not bitten by a snake venom adult. poison subcutaneous LD values of these "species is very different. Train and Ernst et al. 1996, produced a value of 0.05 mg / kg, and fruit were Engelmann (1981), a value of 0.32 mg / kg, and the branch list Spawls as 0.28 mg / kg and gave a value of Brown 0.12 mg / kg. Although the variation is large, the average value of black mamba venom SC will have about 0.185 mg / kg, making it one of the most venomous snakes in the globe.


It is estimated that only 10 to 15 mg kill a grown man, and their bite provides about 100-120 mg of venom on average, the largest ever recorded was 400 mg of poisoning. British wildlife enthusiast Nathan Layton was in Hoedspruit, a small town near Kruger National Park, bitten by a black mamba and girl died after being bitten. The mortality rate depends on several factors such as the health, size, age and mental health of the victim, the penetration of one or both of the amount injected fangs snake venom, poison pharmacokinetics, the bite position and proximity to major blood vessels. At present, a polyvalent antivenom South African Institute for Medical Research (SAIMR) prepare to treat all Black Mamba bites of different places. Why is a poison bitten by a black mamba is no longer a certain death sentence. If bitten, often severe neurotoxicity. Local tissue damage appears to be relatively infrequent and low gravity in most cases of poisoning Black Mamba.


If you reject a threat, the black mamba offers multiple shots, the injection of large amounts of toxic virulent poison for each shot, often landing bites on the body or head, unlike other snakes. Death by suffocation due to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Due to various factors, including toxicity and high yields of their venom, the fact that untreated bites a mortality rate of 100%, the high level of aggression, speed, agility and size, many herpetologists agree the Black Mamba is the deadliest snake species and aggressive world.

Red Panda

 

Animal You | Red Panda | The length of the head and body measure 50-64 cm red panda (20-25 inches), and its tail is 28-59 cm (11-23 inches).

During the descent of the head tree, turns the red panda his ankle his lineage, one of the few types of control to do climbing. The red panda is endemic to the temperate forests of the Himalayas, and extends from the foothills of western Nepal to China in the east. The range includes southern Tibet, Sikkim and Assam in India, Bhutan, the northern mountains of Myanmar and south-western China.


The distribution of the red panda should be considered as a disjunction into consideration, rather than constantly. In a study in the 1970s, there are signs of red pandas Dhorpatan Nepal Game Reserve. Their presence was confirmed in spring 2007 when four red pandas were observed at altitudes of 3220-3610 m (10,560 to 11,840 feet). Western limit of the species is in Rara National Park located farther west Thurs Dhorpatan reserve. The red panda lives from 2200 to 4800 meters (7,200 feet and 15,700) elevation, living in areas of moderate temperature between 10 and 25 ° C (50 and 77 ° F) with little annual variation. Preferred deciduous and mixed forests of the mountain pine trees, especially trees and thickets of bamboo. The effective population size of the population of Sichuan is bigger and stronger than the people of Yunnan, which implies a southward expansion from Sichuan to Yunnan.


The red panda died Chinese provinces of Guizhou, Gansu, Shaanxi and Qinghai The red panda is territorial, but solitary except during the mating season.
