Redfoot tortoises native habitat is a range through South America. They live in Argentina and Panama. they will inhabit temperate forest, live in grasslands and Savannas in South America. They’ve been seen on the Caribbean islands of Barbados and Trinidad. They will live in forest, rainforest, and dry forest all throughout a range down in South America. A redfoot tortoises diet is mainly herbivorous but are also omnivorous they mainly eat fruit, fungi, flowers, and leaves. Will eat small invertebrates like bugs and snails they eat fruit in the rainy seasons and they eat flowers and grasses in the dryer seasons they have omnivorous feeding habits they will eat somethings like fungi, soil, leaves and foliage, small pebbles, and sand, and they
The tar pits were surrounded by grasslands, shrubby areas and pine forests. Sabertooth cats fed off of herbivores so they often times lived in areas like this because many of the plant-eating animals sabertooth cats relied on lived in these areas. Smilodons also preferred to live in closed habitats so that it was easy to ambush it’s prey while hiding in bushes. Fossils show some evidence that Sabertooths were social, perhaps even living in groups to care for one another. Fossil records also suggest that they lived in icy lands, as they lived during the end of the Dinosaurs and during the Ice Age.
The climate in the Taiga make finding food and life in general difficult so in the winter animals migrate, hibernate or just cope with the harsh climate. Most of the main birds are non threatened like the bohemian waxwing, pine grosbeak, red throated loon and the hawk owl. The bohemian waxwing eats mostly fruit, and make thick nests in tall conifers unlike the hawk owl which nests in hollow tree stumps or abandoned nests and eats small mammals which it hunts in the day. The pine grosbeak nests in mostly conifers with diet of seeds and the red throated loon has a diet of fish because it spends most of its time on the water. Mammals include the ermine; a weasel like animal in which it...
Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations take place continuously and even the smallest of changes can leave a significant impact. Examples can be seen within any plant or animal. One example would include sea turtles, specifically, the Loggerhead Turtles. These turtles are native to the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea (Deurmit L 2007). They thrive in either temperate or tropical climates and can live in a myriad of biomes (Deurmit L 2007). These biomes include the pelagic, reef, coastal, and brackish water (Deurmit L 2007). Loggerhead turtles are omnivores and can eat anything from insects to aquatic crustaceans, to macro algae (Deurmit L 2007). According to Deurmit (2007) Caretta caretta is classified into Animalia Kingdom, Chordata Phylum, Vertebrata Subphylum, Reptilian Class, Testudines’ Order,
Habitat: Partially or completely open country, around mountains, hills, and cliffs. They use many different habitats ranging from arctic to desert, some include tundra, shrub lands, grasslands, coniferous forest, farmland and rivers or streams. They can be found in Mexico, North America, Alaska, and sometimes Asia, northern Africa, and Europe. They nest in high places such as cliffs, trees, or human structures. They build huge nests that they may return to for several breeding years.
It lives its whole life above the northern tree line in the Arctic tundra, roaming across North America and Greenland but not extending into mainland Europe or Asia.
Capybaras are herbivores. They enjoy dining on water plants, grasses, grains, fruit, reeds, melons, and squashes. They also are known for loving corn on the cob. To eat these they gnaw and chew with their front teeth, which never stop growing. Their main threat are wildcats such as jaguars. But, they also have many other predators. Anacondas, pumas, eagles, caimans (a form of crocodile) , and ocelots are just a few. Their gentle and slow nature makes them easy prey for these animals. These are some of the predator/ prey relationships capybaras are part of.
Cane toads originated from South America, were introduced to Australia in the early 20th century and have been in Australia for nearly 70 years. 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. Cane toads eat bugs, ants, generally anything that could fit inside its mouth, most cane toads grow to 10-15cm long and females have been grown to 23cm colour ranges from grey to olive brown. They breed in slow moving water, females lay about 8- 35000 eggs a
The two toed sloth or Choloepus didactylus, belongs to the Mammalia class and can turn its head two-hundred and seventy degrees. That almost the way around! There are many more facts of the fascinating creature, the sloth.
The species'scientific name is Sarcophilus Harrisii. (“Tasmanian Devil, Sarcophilus harrisii”). First and foremost, they live in the wild part of Tasmania, Australia. Tasmanian devils during the day scour the land to find shelter, anywhere they can. Primarily, in caves, or bushes, hollow logs, and sometimes old wombat burrows.

Many people do not know that tasmanian devils exists. If you ask someone about a tasmanian devil they’ll probably tell you about “Taz”, the cartoon character that appeared on the Looney Tunes television show. Taz was portrayed as a ferocious character with a short temper and enormous appetite, which is the exact opposite of what a tasmanian devil is. People may think tasmanian devils act this way due to “Taz”, but they are actually timid and not as ferocious. The tasmanian devil is the world's largest living carnivorous marsupial (animal with a pouch), that earned its name but the scream that they sound off. They are scavengers that use their sharp teeth and claws to feast off of dead animals.

One of the most well-known urban legends told is the story of Bigfoot. Much of the research has shown that there are several names assigned to the mammoth ape. According to Napier (1973), Bigfoot would be the creature found mostly in Northwest America, Sasquatch would be a creature named in British Colombia, the 49th parallel in the north-west states of America and Northern California, and the Abominable Snowman, or the Yeti would be the creature named in the Himalayas. Of course, “Wild Man” and “Savage” have also been names used to identify the creature. There’s been thousands of sightings across the world, but there have also been many misidentifications where those who think they have seen Bigfoot have really just seen an ordinary animal or person. Arment (2006) states an individual’s perception may color the eyewitness account. Such misidentifications include: hermits, fugitives, refugees, bears, gorillas, and simply people making up stories or rumors. In addition to sightings, there have been photos, videos, movies, and TV shows that strongly indicates the possibility of the existence of this creature. Though there is much evidence from sightings, myths, and recordings that Bigfoot exists, there is also much proof that it could all be a hoax. Incorrect sightings have led skeptics to argue over the existence of this being stating Bigfoot is really just a fable. So one has to ask oneself, does Bigfoot really exist or is it just another urban legend?
Introduction Caretta caretta, otherwise known as the Loggerhead Sea Turtle, is an oceanic turtle that exist throughout the globe. They are circumtropical species (LeBlanc et al. 2014) meaning they are distributed throughout temperate and tropical ocean regions, but most abundant species are found in the United States coastal range. Loggerheads largest nesting aggregations in the Atlantic are found along the southeastern United States coastal range where about 80% of all nesting occurs and 90% of all hatchlings are produced (Abecassis et al. 2013).
