Cane toads were relocated by the Europeans to control destructive beetles that destroyed sugarcane in Cairns approximately 2900 young toads were released in Australia, after a while the group of Europeans discovered cane toads were unsuccessful at removing the cane bugs. Cane toads spread throughout Queensland, Cane toads have spread south and west and now cane toads can be found in Queensland, Northern Territory, New South Wales. Cane toads became were well known as an invasive species or pest.

An eyass is a young bird taken from the nest before it can fly. It is allowed to fly freely until it is ready to hunt its own food. This helps the raptor develop its flying skills.
All animals employ a vast array of behaviors that contribute to their ability to find resources, increase their chances of utilizing them efficiently, and therefore increase their overall fitness. One of the behaviors observed extensively throughout the animal kingdom to accomplish these tasks is aggression. Agonist conflict and aggressive behavior occurs both between species and within species. Curiously, within-species agonism is common in many animals because it can manipulate social hierarchies which can affect the distribution of resources within a population (Moore 2007 and Wofford 2013). Evaluating agonistic behavior is therefore a valuable means by which to examine expenditure of energy for resources (Moore 2007 and Wofford 2013).
There is a squid-like monster seen off the coasts of Norway that is a mile and a half in circumference named a Kraken. Legend says these creatures have the ability to squirt their blinding venom into the victim’s eye to cripple them. (...
...d. Dogs are programmed like any other mammal. As humans, whenever we feel threatened we tense up. We will fight for what we love and if someone or something is hurting us we will physically fight to protect ourselves. The same scenario goes for canines. If a canine feels threatened, they will protect themselves the only way they can by biting, attacking or snapping at whatever is threatening them.
Orcas in captivity are forced to all eat the same thing. Their meals consist of frozen whole fish about the size of sardines. In order to train the animals, they must all do the same trick correctly, if not they are all deprived of food. The jumps, dives and other tricks the whales perform, are similar to their natural behaviors. The severe food deprivation causes aggression between the whales, especially the ones who never have been trained before.
Eastern Indigo Snakes have a number of common names including the blue indigo snake, black snake, blue gopher snake, and blue bull snake. The Eastern Indigo Snake is one of the longest native snakes in the United States. A typical full-grown male is about 7.0–7.7 ft long and weighs 7.1–9.9 lb, while a typical full-grown female is about 6.6 ft long and weighs 4.0–6.0 lb. These snakes are bluish-black and may have a red-orange or cream coloration on the chin, throat or cheeks. Their scales are smooth and tend to shimmer in the sunlight. The Eastern Indigo Snake is not venomous, although it may bite people in it’s defense, it does not let out any venom.
...rane configurations, and release mediators of inflammation. Most venoms affect the muscle or nervous system, but most human reactions to jellyfish stings are consistent and the severity varies more. (Bailey, 2003) Sponges and Hydroids usually have the mildest venom among cnidarian, with the exception of some species. They usually only result in slight inflammation. Some species of jellyfish will also give a slight sting that causes inflammation. The most severe stings are caused by the Physalia species, scyphozoans, and cubozoans. (Bailey, 2003) These can give stings that cause loss of consciousness, edemas, muscle spasm, heart failure, coma, or death. (Bailey, 2003) This is just a very short list of the symptoms from cnidarian stings. This quick, and effective, firing system combined with potent venom makes many cnidarians the most venomous organisms known to man.
Squash and stretch – As recounted in the book, ‘The Illusion of Life’ by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston in 1997, squash and stretch is the most important animation principle by a good deal. This principle is based on the understanding that only the stiff objects retain their shapes and the objects, both organic and inorganic that are not stiff tend to change their shape and size as they are in motion, however, they retain their volume. During this research a very interesting and clear example of how squash and stretch works in real life was found which can be seen by accessing the following link http://media3.giphy.com/media/7lz6nPd56aHh6/giphy.gif . One can clearly see how the body of the cheetah stretches and squeezes as he takes the strides.

Seventh, in some groups of insects, truly social behavior has evolved. Social behavior will allow a large population to survive through difficult periods via cooperation in food gathering, food storage, temperature control, and colony
