Leopard

Leopard is a very easily identifiable by its rosette patterned coat and extremely long, dark tail. This large cat is sometimes confused with the seemingly Jaguar South Americas - where the Leopard is less stocky and, unlike Jaguar, the rosette of its characters are generally smaller, and they do not have seats. Overall the whole of the Leopard depends very much on the rent and the larger animals more and more of the length is nearly 5 feet with an additional tail length of about 3 feet - usually the man is between 20-40% higher than for women. That is the basis of color, the robe also varies greatly, depending on the location, ranging from yellow, gold, prairies, yellow / cream desert gold deep in mountain and forest regions. All black or mechanistic leopard, sometimes known as "Black Panthers" were born the same extent as normally marked with cats and is also a rosette, even if they are hidden by the darkness of fur. It found that the mechanistic Leopard is the most commonly occurs in a dense and humid forest regions of India and South-East Asia, which benefit from the color of the cat to sleep.

Leopard is a versatile hunter and, in general, nocturnal pursuit of its prey - but the high levels of hunting in educating young women, often leads to more opportunists hunting during the day. Type prey by the Leopard is again dependent largely on its location - right in the grasslands of Africa, where the roaming herds of large and medium herbivores are common leopard take the youth and pace Wildebeest, Impala and the gaze. However, the same areas Leopard will also take small mammals such as hares and rock Tamaanit, reptiles and insects. However, the western and central forested areas of Africa, the Leopard catch consists mainly of small antelope as the duiker, small monkeys and various rodents, such as rats, squirrels, and porcupines.

Although very competent fighter and the Leopard has not been without a threat to other carnivores - because of this the Leopard commonly caches prey to a high branches of trees near the boxes to the recovery of opportunistic hyenas and lions. It is here that the Leopard shows his great strength - his strong arm and neck muscles, which will allow him to continue to fully mature male giraffe antelope, or even to young people, often weighing up to three times Oman of body weight, high tops of trees. The direct competition with other large cats such as lions, Africa and the tiger in tropical Asia is that this province has been largely overcome, leopards ability to hunt and, more broadly, as the prey, or any other of its two larger rivals. In Asia, the Leopard is also recom-tigre its ability to exist in areas without a plentiful water supply. In some regions, where its habitat is close to that of human leopard has been known to hunt close to houses, preying, pets, livestock and rodents.

Although there are no other wild cat is a very wide range and diversity of birds of prey as the Leopard, it is still under threat in many areas. When the common in all regions of Africa outside the deserts of the Sahara, it has now disappeared from most parts of North Africa, with the exception of a few widespread areas, Atlas, and it is rare in the extreme west of the continent. Under the common leopard, in the middle of the East, Ppnimr and Ppjarvisi have now all gone, but, as is a Persian leopard (Ppsaxicolor). South-East Asia and India, the amount has been reduced, mainly because of hunting the prized fur and the loss of a natural way, because the spread of the human population. South Korean Leopard (Pporientalis), which is also known as Amur Leopard are extremely rare, largely affected by loss of habitat.

While the Leopard has been able to better survive Africa scope of the Lion and the cheetah, which now exists only in places only in this region, the Leopard, in particular in the Middle East, and South-West is extremely dangerous.

The Bobcat...

The Bobcat, but it is not a lot of the surname is a different species in the genus Lynx. But even though the Canadian lynx and Bobcat share some of the same area, Bobcat is perhaps more closely related to Eurasia and the Spanish lynx, which has spread from the North Americas, Asia earlier than the Canadian report. It is believed that the original Bobcats was much higher than that at the moment, and perhaps a result of reduced competition for cash at the beginning of puma, now take advantage of another niche - the food chain predators.


Compared with the Canadian lynx wild cat is usually lower, and even though it shares many common characteristics, lynx, it can be distinguished from lynx in a number of ways. The Bobcat has been less pronounced ear tufts and cheek ruffs, the peak covers the dark, only the first of his "Stumpy" the tail, much smaller feet, and, in general, a model and a versatile coat coloration. September fur color varies from light gray, yellowish brown, with reddish brown and labels range from "tabby" bands of heavy responsibility. In general, Bobcats found in the southern part of their range is darker and less, but that the cats, in the north is usually pale and bigger.

The Bobcat, as we all homeboy is a great fondness-hare and the rabbit, which are an important part of the diet. However, unlike the Canadian lynx, which is almost exclusively on hunting hares of America, Bobcat happens catch by species, when the better food source is not available. The men will be the largest hunting prey such as deer that during the winter months, while the rest of the catch is limited. Bobcats also prey of other small mammals such as squirrels and striped, rodents and birds. As a general rule, they are hunted, as well as day and night, but there is evidence that most of the hunting takes place at dawn and dusk, corresponding to the periods of peak activity, hares and rabbits, their main prey species. Bobcat at day hunts usually during the winter months.

The behavior, Bobcat is less secret that his Canadian report, and has been found in a wide range of habitats, Canada / USA across the border into Mexico. Bobcats can be found in coniferous and mixed forests north, wetlands and around Florida and the desert and scrubland, the south-west of USA. However, they are absent from well-cultivated areas in northern mid-point. Despite its small size, Bobcat is also arveltu be more aggressive than ilvesten and the areas where their ranges meet, such as the Cape Breton Island, NS, Bobcat lynx moved to a large part of the island.

While the Bobcat the races usually in February and in June in some areas, they have been known to recur throughout the year. Its size is generally high, usually consists of 1-6 and the young are born after the gestation period of about 60 days. Kittens are in daily weight gain of about 25g a day and are weaned around 12 weeks - the wild cat is independent of its mother around 10-12 months of age. It is a significant difference in the quality of life and wild cats in captivity - the nature of the central age is estimated at 12-13 years, but the Bobcats in captivity, they are able to achieve the mid-twenty years.

Although hunting is regulated in many U.S. states, the Bobcat has been hunted relentlessly throughout much of its range. However, the Bobcat populations are high, and although less common, Mexico, in general, the Bobcat is not under threat.

Rhinoceros beetle "The strongest beetle"

Rhinoceros beetle adults eat fruit in the decomposition and the juice, despite their size, they do not eat much. The larvae, on the other hand, eat a large amount of Moderholz or compost in which they live. Despite their appearance of the wilderness, they are all completely harmless: they can not bite or injury to sew or with their horns

Rhino beetles have three in stars; they must by three molts before the change in the stage of the puppet. It is not possible to say what the average life span is that the rhinoceros beetle name refers to about 300 different types of beetles, some live in the tropical countries, and some live in North America, and the time of their lives very differently.

Rhino beetle could serve as useful because they are important in the recycling of plant material in the ecosystem. In only a few occasions, a kind of reached the proportion of pests, which usually takes place the fields of sugar cane plantations and palm trees, which were recently massacred and deep in the jungle. In this case, the man got into the house of habitat and the beetles are changing the balance of things. You can also consider rhinoceros beetles too much of an advantage because of aesthetics: You are all so nice.

The best protection that distinguishes them from their predators is usually large, combined with their work at night. During the day hide it in the newspapers or in the vegetation and invisible since few large predators enough to eat. What is surprising is the Horn of man is not responsible for the protection, but rather the opportunity to battle with another man of more than one location. The victory of the men with the diet of the site can then often attract a second, the women have no horns. It is sort like the guys in the school canteen with the best breakfast can attract the most beautiful girls, they do not really know what you want, but more interested in your diet. It is a very basic biological research for many vertebrate animals (including humans): Men with the most resources are often those who are women. These resources can take many forms: food, land, the ability to care for young people, or the brain; wholesale of wood, horns, big, beautiful or rates to be generally second.

Butterflies are so wonderfull

Butterflies probably in the Cretaceous, if the climate were different continents, with the difference that today. That is, if the major broadcast Angiosperms took place. Evidence forfeit of paleontology, where some 50 butterfly fossils have been identified, the morphology and the study of homologies, molecular genetics and biochemistry of Comparative Ethology comparison, and the current geographical distribution and the 'ecology. The researchers are in favour of chalk, originally developed for the butterflies generally positive vicariant zoogeographic hypothesis on how the broad outlines of butterflies distributed, came into the world, while those that promote a greater age dispersalist on assumptions. Some species in the eyes moths use of ferns that the larvae of the plant guests, and it is possible that the butterflies, before Angiosperms their current crop guests. The study modern butterfly classification began with Ehrlich phenetic use of hundreds of hitherto neglected morphological characteristics in the form of tables, families and large corporations. Scoble (1995) and continue the search for new characters, but with its implementation in cladism. Lavral characters are now often integrated into the world of adult butterflies. The addition of molecular data, the researchers were able to solve in many cladistic lignages.
Currently, the butterflies in three superfamilies, Hedyloidea, consisting of the "American butterflies butterfly," Hesperioidea, consisting of the "boss" and Papilionoidea or "butterflies applicable". The latter two are likely superfamilies sister taxa, so that the butterflies are common thoughts, a group of natural or clade.
The range depends on the name butterfly, the extent to which the concept expanded. Currently, most experts conclude superfamilies Hedyloidea (the Americans butterfly butterflies the night), Hesperioidea (Skipper) and Papilionoidea (the so-called "real" butterflies). This concept of butterflies, including the Hedyloidea was recently expanded, but it makes the group a natural Clade, Rhopalocera.

Butterfly eggs from a CD-V-ribbed belts outer layer of skin, called the Chorion. It is bordered by a thin layer of wax to prevent the egg to dry before the larva has the time to develop fully. Each egg contains a number of small funnel in the form of openings at one end, the micropyles objective of this drilling is to enter the sperm and egg to fertilize. Butterfly and butterfly eggs are in size between species, but they are all either spherical or oval.
Butterfly eggs are on one sheet with a special glue, which quickly hardens. As he hardens are contracts, disrt the shape of the egg. This adhesive is clearly visible to the basis for all the eggs form a meniscus. The type of adhesive is unknown and is a topic for research. This also applies adhesive is a puptoe to the bristles of the cremaster. This adhesive is so difficult that the carpet made of silk, in which the bristles are glued, not be separated.
The eggs are usually on the plants. Each type of butterfly has its own series and hostplant, although certain species of butterflies are limited to a single type of plant, while others use a variety of plant species, many of the members of a family.
The egg takes a step few weeks in most butterflies, but pondus eggs near the winter, particularly in regions of temperate climate, a period of Diapause, and the flourishing of May until the spring. Other May butterflies lay their eggs in spring and they arise in the summer. These butterflies are usually northernly species (cloak of mourning, turtle)

The larvae, or caterpillars, are multi-legs diet of the machines. They consume the leaves and plants spend almost all their time in search of food. Although most caterpillars are herbivores, some species such as Spalgis epius and Liphyra brassolis are entomophages (eating insects). Some of the larvae, especially in the form of mutual Lycaenidae associations with ants. They share with the ants with the vibrations through the substrate and the use of chemical signals. The ants, a degree of protection and their larvae this round to collect the secretion of honeydew.
Caterpillar maturity through a series of steps, called instars. At the end of each phase, the larvae go through a process apolysis, the Cuticula, a mixture of chitin and specialized proteins, is exempt from the shell and the skin begins to form a new cuticle under. At the end of each phase, the larva of the old Cuticula Slough, and the new cuticle quickly hardens and pigments. The development of butterfly wings begins with the last larvae.
Butterfly caterpillars have three pairs of feet true segments of the thoracic and up to 6 pairs of prolegs from the segments of the abdomen. These rings are prolegs of small hooks hooks, which help them attack the substrate.
The caterpillars have the ability to swell the parties to the head to appear as the snake. Many consider false points. The caterpillars have osmeteria structures, the smell everted produce chemicals. These are in the defence.
Guests plants often have toxic substances into the chains and are able to intercept these substances and store in adults. This makes it inconvenient to make the birds and other predators. This unpalatibility is known, with a bright red, orange, black or white warning colors. Toxic chemicals in plants are often designed to prevent insects are eaten. Insects in turn, the development of countermeasures to use or toxins to their own survival. This "arms race" has led to the coevolution of insects and plants, their guests.


The Baboon's Behavior


Baboons general rule, leaving their places of sleep by 7 or 8 hours after closest to the rock or trees, adults seated in small groups grooming, while adolescents. Then, in the form of a unit closed in itself, moves in a column two or three, walking, they start to food. Fanning, feed, as they move along, who travel often, five or six miles per day. The supply of about three o'clock in the morning, while the rest of the heat of the day and feed, and then again in the afternoon before returning to their beds about 6 hours before retirement, they spend more time, maintenance, in a decisive manner the nature and the education bond between people and baboons to keep clean and free of external parasites.

Baboons sleep, travel, feed and socialize together in groups of about 50 people, composed of seven to eight men and about twice as many women and their boys. This family of women, youth and children constitute the cornerstone of a strong force, with a ranking system, some women as a brand leader. A force in the troop’s home is well defined, but seems not to have boundaries. It has often overlaps with other baboons in the series, but the troops seem to avoid meeting them.

When they start to mature, the males leave their birth and troops moving to and from other troops. Frequently Asked fighting broke out to determine dominance on access to females or meat. The positioning of these men permanently changes during this period.

Men are welcome in new troops slowly, usually by the development of "friends" with women on the brink of a troupe. Often help defend a female and their offspring.

For the first month, a baboon child stays in very close contact with their mother. The mother carries the child next to her stomach when she led with maintaining a hand. With the moment the young baboon is 5 to 6 weeks may be riding on the back, by hanging on the four members in a few months, climbed jockey style, sitting upright. Between 4 and 6 months, the young baboons began to spend most of his time with other young people.
