Tamias can be found in woodland and in brushland they can also use cover such as urban parks, fence lines and hedges. They have large glossy eyes and characteristic bushy tails chipmunks have small but important ears which face forwards, small eyes set on the sides of their heads and a pointed mouth. When an eastern chipmunk eats nuts Beech tree, this is mutualism. Chipmunks are rodents that are a type of squirrel. These small, furry animals are identified by their stubby legs, bushy tails and the white, black and brown stripes that run down their backs. Chipmunks are the smallest members of the squirrel family, according to National Geographic. The biggest species of chipmunk is the Eastern chipmunk. It grows to 11 inches (28 centimeters) …show more content…
They like to keep to themselves and only interact during mating season, which is in the spring. They are most active at dusk and dawn. Chipmunks spend most of their days foraging. A single chipmunk can gather up to 165 acorns in a day. Chipmunks it is thought to have gotten their black stripes from fighting with a black bear and the bear scratched the chipmunk and that is how the chipmunk got its stripes. The chipmunk is one of a few North American animals whose name has Native American origins. But they are unknown. Colonists in New England reported that "chitmunk" was the name for the animal in a local Algonquian language, but this word was never recorded in a dictionary and the Algonquian languages of that region are no longer natively spoken, so the original form and meaning of the word has been lost to time. It is a good guess that the word probably actually meant "squirrel," since "chipmunk" sounds similar to words for "squirrel" in living Algonquian languages . It is thought that chipmunks have a very benevolent spirit and they granting wishes of the most treasured of hearts desires. Chipmunk it is said is a totem of friendship and preparation and
Raccoons have a very flexible diet. Similar to humans. Before the influence of urbanization their diet consisted of almost everything in the wild. They lived off the land. Now they eat garbage, scraps that humans leave behind, greatly straying from their original diet. The raccoons symbolize the native Canadian population. Long ago Aboriginal peoples lived the way they wanted. In peace with nature. After colonization they were forced to eat and behave as Europeans. Similar to how Humans have forced a new life style upon the
In the video “My Life As a turkey”, naturalist Joe Hutto begin an experiment on behaviors of animals, especially turkey. From the birth to the adulthood of the turkey, Hutto stayed with the turkeys side by side to nurture them.
The Native American people have great respect and reverence for nature, in fact the animal spirits and other elemental spirits represent important roles in their daily life (Taylor). They view the world as an interconnected fabric of harmonious and inharmonious interaction between people and nature. One tribe in particular, the Miwok, consider the Coyote as an ancestor and creator of man; additionally, they consider Coyote as a trickster god (Godchecker). A Miwok myth recount a story from long ago in which animals were like people. In this tale, the Coyote and Falcon decided to create man. Coyote pretended to be dead, and permitted the buzzards and crows to eat his posterior (Bastian and Mitchell). As they dug in, he trapped them inside, and
Because raccoons are nocturnal animal, it creates difficulty to study, and get to know these ring-tailed creatures better. Farmers know first-hand what raccoons can do to their crops. As these creatures come crawling down the tree at dark, they start heading towards food sources. They will mow the edges of
Squirrel hunting has long been an American tradition and a tradition that many hunters grew up with. Squirrel hunting has just the right amount of action to keep a young hunter interested and more often than not that young hunter will choose to pursue another game eventually. Squirrels are getting a break from hunters as more and more people are hunting deer and turkey, or unfortunately not at all. I remember when the opening day of squirrel season was almost like Christmas. I couldn't wait to walk the hardwood ridges and fencerows to hunt a few squirrels and it was as exciting to me then as any deer hunt could be.
Although they are not capable to climb, meadow voles are good swimmers. They use this ability to find food that they can’t reach. Meadow voles live in nests and uphold their foraging patterns each season. It is an open habitat organism. Ideal vole habitats comprise of a compressed mat of flora or any other available resources in order to protect their tunnel systems. They build nests in shallow underground cavities during the warmer seasons. However, during colder seasons Meadow voles build their nests on the ground, because a layer of snow hides them from the predators. Meadow mice are characterized by their boom-bust population cycles. Population density can differ from several to several hundred species per hectare over a 2-5 year period. Meadow voles are the one of the world's most prolific mammals. Males and females live in separate nests, and only make contact during copulation. Peak breeding activity occurs in spring and autumn. The gestation period is about 20 to 21 days, after which meadow voles normally have 4 to 6 litters, with approximately 11 nestlings per
The social behaviour of the house mouse is not rigidly fixed into species-specific patterns but is instead adaptable to the environmental conditions, such as the availability of food and space.[24][25] This adaptability allows house mice to inhabit diverse areas ranging from sandy dunes to apartment buildings.[24]
The Crazy mad Mouse is a type of roller coaster characterized by mouse-like cars that seat up to six people and ride on top of the track. The cars travel making tight, flat turns (without banking) at modest speeds. The track is characterized by many tight turns and bunny hops, producing abrupt negative vertical G forces. When approaching a turn from a straight section, the intended impression is that one will simply continue moving straight providing a fun and crazy ride! The speed of the roller coaster is 139 mph make sure you are buckled in because you could fall out if you are not buckled in and if the seat belt is tight enough . Also if you eat any food before you go on the ride i would advise you to wait 5-15 minutes before you go
Native American culture, according to William Youngs, A Question for Harmony, the Native American origins beginnings started with endless space. Tawa, the Sun Spirit, impregnated Mother Earth, creating the First World. The First World was inhabited by insect-like creatures. These creatures continuously argued to understand the meaning of life. These creatures then fell victim to the sorcerer's, upsetting Tawa so Tawa created ‘Spider Grandmother’. Spider Grandmother led the insect-like creatures to the Second World. The insects grew hair and fur on their bodies and took places as dogs, wolves, or bears.
The Stripped Skunks identifiable pattern comprises of black with a white spot upon its head and two white broad lines down the spine. They weigh two to ten lbs The skunks roam from Canada to Mexico, and inhabit forests, field edges, woods, streams, swamplands, and suburban areas. Skunks normally are nocturnal, and will retreat in the long winter months. Skunks will appear from their dens in the winter months especially during reproduction time of year. Skunk mating season occurs between Feb and Mar with their offspring being delivered about 62 to 66 days later. Skunks will spray during the mating time of year; this is why in the middle February skunk aroma exists in the air. The standard litter comprises four to six, and at six weeks of age, young skunks start out making brief trips out with their mother while she ventures out to feed. Skunks are real omnivores they will devour nearly anything they can go into their mouth, from refuse to deceased animals, rodents to grubs.
Most of us hate when we have to go to the doctor to get a shot. I wasn't the type of kid that it would take 20 nurses to hold me down so I could get one shot. I was one of the people who very frightened of something going into my body. I know it's an irrational fear, but I hated the thought of something going into my skin.

The likelihood of the four-toed hedgehog going extinct is very improbable. They have an extensive range and are very stable in regards to their wildlife population. They continue to grow in the wild and animal experts have not seen any alarming declines in the population rates. Hence, they have a minimal conservation status. But with the four-toed hedgehog’s development into a popular exotic household pet, there have been some concerns about the threatening of the native populations in Africa. Luckily, there is a breeding stock that is present in the United States that supplies this pet demand. Furthermore, it is prohibited to transport the four-toed hedgehog animals out of Africa to the pet trade market. These regulations allow for the native populations to flourish (Nichols 2014)
