Another common leopard gecko morph is an albino leopard gecko! This morph is most characterized by light colors, stripes (tan, light yellow and orange, light purple, etc.), and a certain paleness of the skin. As a reference, an albino's skin looks like that of a gecko prio to shedding! Don't be mistaken, these geckos look really
Mutualistic relationships occur between eagles and farmers when farmers begin to plant crops in their fields. When crops are planted, prey are attracted to the field to eat. Bald eagles will surround fields to prepare to eat the prey that come in. The eagle will eat the prey that are coming into the field benefiting it by providing energy to the bird, and the farmer benefits because his crops are protected and have the ability to
Have you ever wondered about gorillas? A gorilla is a very strong built great ape with a large head and short neck. Gorillas are the largest member of the primate family. Gorillas are quiet, shy, peaceful, and live in central Africa and tropical rainforests. Several thousand years ago, gorillas split from its closest relative the chimpanzees. There are four types of gorillas, being Eastern lowland, Western lowland, mountain, and cross river gorillas. Ecology is how organism interact with one another and the environment. It is the study of relationships between two living organisms.
It’s hard to believe in 2015 that there are parts of the world yet to be explored, but a new species of monkey discovered in Peru demonstrates just how much of planet earth we still haven’t seen. This discovery sheds light on not only what exists untouched in the most remote parts of the World, but also what we may lose without ever knowing thanks to human development. This entire species and others like it have the potential to disappear forever without ever being discovered if conservation efforts are not enhanced.
Finally, I will consider the various competitors to survival that exist in the macaque’s environment. According to Gron (2007) the fur of the macaque is brown in colour but varies in shade from a light grey or yellow brown to completely brown. They are most commonly recognised for their pinkish red face. The macaques are predominantly quadrupedal, meaning they use all four limbs to travel across land. The males spend the majority of their time on the ground, while the female takes shelter in the trees.
The Dominicans have intermarried with Tainos, Spanish and African people but their African physical features are still present. Dominicans come in all different colors, ranging from very dark to very light and everything in between. Dominicans see skin color differently than it is seen in the ...
You might think that chinchillas aren't cool but they are really the best animals ever! Chinchillas are the best animals because they have the softest fur in the world. Chinchillas teeth never stop growing. Chinchillas can barely see through their eyes so they mostly fell with their whiskers.
Guppies that are more colorful are less likely to survive in environments with intense predation because they are easier to spot.
The King Cobra, or Ophiophagus hannah, belongs to the class of Reptilia, and lives in eastern China in the dense highland forests. The King Cobra is widely known for the hood that it has to warn off creatures when it feels threatened or in danger. If the animal/thing does not heed the warning, it gets a venomous bite from it. The venom in the fangs blocks nerve signals from the brain, paralyzing the creature, then dies if not treated immediately. The King Cobra also has a secret weapon: camouflage. It may not be that secret, but the Cobra easily blends into the surrounding floor. Any unaware prey that happens to walk by, might soon die.
There once was a period in a time where cats ruled the earth and man followed them as a pet for each individual cat. Everything was in perfect harmony. Mankind obeyed their masters and there were no questions about authority since everyone was happy. A group of men even created a statue of the Sphynx cat breed as a symbol of their gratitude. The Sphynx cat was a very noble and gracious breed. They also had the thickest, most luscious, coat of fur. Sphynx cats treated their pets with respect and kindness, which was the primary cause as to why the group of men created that statue.
Origin - The Maine Coon is a natural breed, however currently the actual origin of the Main Coon is still underway. The "myth" of the Maine Coon coming about from the mating of raccoon and domestic cat is amongst the most popular. Although this is genetically and scientifically impossible to achieve, it first came about to be believed due to its unique brown raccoon-like markings and big bushy tail. "Maine Shags" were the name given to those that had markings any other color besides the brown coat. Theory of Maine Coons coming about from Viking's bringing these animals over into North America has been one of many popular theories. However, the most common theory is that of Marie Antoinette. Many believe when she tried to escape to North America, but did not succeed, she had left her long-haired cat on board, which then came to North America and bred
The gorillas live mainly in coastal West Africa in the Congo, Zaire, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. Gorillas live in the rain forest. They usually live on the ground but build nest in trees to sleep in. Gorilla troops keep a 15-20 square mile range which often overlaps the range of other troops. There are three different kinds of gorillas. The eastern lowland gorilla the western lowland and the mountain gorilla. They are herbivores and eat only wild celery, roots, tree bark pulp, fruit, stems of many plants and bamboo shoots. They spend nearly half their day eating.
Have you ever imagined climbing on the roof? Have you ever imagined walking straight up a wall? Well if you have your dream may not be so far away with the new technology that was discovered by Gecko’s. The new technology really isn’t all that new, it was just recently discover by the human race, so therefore we consider it new, but really it has been around for millions of years. The secret to the gecko's ability to climb walls is really complex, it starts down at the molecular level, with what they call a spatula it is a nanohair that is roughly 200 nanometers wide, and tall (Robert Full 2000). The spatula is so small you cannot see it with the naked eye, but it creates a relatively strong force for it size, and that’s what keeps it climbing on the wall, and ceilings. The force that is created is a reality weak force, but because this force is so small a Gecko’s foot has hundreds of millions of these spatulas, and because of the millions of these hairs it creates a force equal too 4x107 μn which is roughly 40N per foot (Robert Full 2000). Given that seems like a minuscule amount but that is per foot that is only 100mm2 (Robert Full 2000). Think about if that only for a 100mm2 and a human foot that’s roughly 10000 mm2 that’s hundred times the force per foot that a gecko foot, so you would be producing 4000N per foot (Robert Full 2000).
The usual color of dingoes is yellow-ginger. However other colors have appeared. In northern and central Austrailia, 88.6% of the dingoes are yellow-ginger, 3.8% are black and tan, and 1.9% are white. In southern Austrailia, yellow-ginger dingoes have decreased by 45.9%, but black and tan have increased dy 19.1%, and white dingoes have almost dissapeared.
The fur of the Siberian tiger is long, thick and yellow with dark black stripes running through it. The coat of this animal is reddish colored in the summer months. The underside of the Siberian tiger is bright white, and the tail area is white and black.
