One characteristic that is evident in all primate species is home ranges (Boyd 123). It can be assumed that the home range for Praenthropus dimorphicus is relatively large. My reasoning behind this statement is the fact that body size is directly correlated to size of the home range. The larger the sp...
Condor that people talks about can be classified into two categories: Andean condor of South America and California condor of North America. Although they classified into two genera, they are close enough to have a similar ecology. Andean Condors are
Their feeder preference will be platform, hopper feeder, ground feeder, and cage. Also their seed preference that love to eat will be sunflower seeds, suet, and safflower seeds.

The scarlet ibis was very similar to Doodle. They both were different than others and didn’t fit in, but they were also one of a kind. Also, when they both died they looked similar to each other with the blood and broken neck. James Hurst wrote, "It's a scarlet ibis," he said, pointing to the picture. "It lives in the tropics-South America to Florida. A storm must have brought it here." Sadly, we all looked back at the bird. A scarlet ibis! How many miles it had traveled to die like this, in our yard, beneath the bleeding tree.” (5) Out of all the possibilities, the bird that was originally from a place far away ended up in their yard under the bleeding tree. At the end of the story Doodle dies under the bleeding tree. The bird did not fit in with the area it was in and it was special. Doodle was different than everyone else because he was different but he was also one of a kind. The scarlet ibis was a major turning point in the story because after they discovered the bird the author began to foreshadow future
The destruction of their habitat and destruction are the two great threats to the gorillas. The places where they are found are poor and densely populated. The land that is set aside for gorillas is being taken over by agriculture. The wire traps that poachers set out for antelope usually end up catching gorillas instead. People kill them for their heads and hands as trophies. The western lowland gorilla is listed as an endangered species.
Red-tailed black-cockatoos usually form a lifelong bond with their mating partner (Del Hoyo et al., 1997). They typically nest in large hollows of eucalyptus trees where they rear their young, generally one egg per clutch. Parental care is shared between the two mates; however, the female does most of the incubating and the male does most of the feeding (Higgins, 1997).
The large ground finches have a higher curve while the medium ground finches have a smaller head and a tiny beak. The place in which the finches live is what changes their appearances and also the weather helps decide the appearance of these finches.
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They live in Asia and belong to the same genus as the lion, leopard, and jaguar. Two major subspecies of the tiger are the Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger. The tiger is thought to have originated in northern Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch.
Evolution is one of the main cornerstones of biology and all living things as humans know them. Without evolution, complex modern organisms, such as the humans, would never have emerged and dominate the planet. Although evolution has been observed over a long period of time, by scientists such as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, it was not solidified and recognized until the revolutionary discoveries made by a young British naturalist by the name of Charles Darwin. Unlike Lamarck, who believed in the inheritance of acquired characteristics, Darwin advocated his theory of revolution with the more modern concept of natural selection.
