Capybara

Beauty Of Animal | Capybara | The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is the largest extant rodent in the world. Its closest relatives are agouti, chinchillas, coyphillas, and guinea pigs. Native to South America, the capybara inhabits savannas and dense forests, and lives near waters. It is a very gregarious species, and can in groups as large as 100 individuals are found, but usually live in groups of 10-20 people. The capybara is not an endangered species even though it is hunted for their meat and skin. The capybara and the lower part of the subfamily Hydrochoerinae together with the rock guinea pigs. The living capybaras and their extinct relatives were previously classified within the family
Hydrochoeridae. Capybaras have heavy, barrel-shaped bodies and short heads with reddish-brown fur on the upper part of her body that turns yellowish-brown underneath. Capybaras have some legs and a rudimentary tail webbing. Capybara are found semi-aquatic mammals, wild in many parts of South America (including Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Uruguay, Peru and Paraguay) of densely wooded areas near waters such as lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds and swamps, and flooded savannas and along rivers in tropical forests. Capybara have blossomed into cattle ranches. They move in an average of 10 hectares in areas of high density populations.
When in estrus, the female and male scent subtle changes begin in the vicinity of persecution. In addition, a female figure to warn that she is in estrus by whistling though the nose. During mating, the female has the advantage, and mate selection. Capybaras mate only in water and, if do not want a woman with a certain male, they are either immersed in water or allow water to mate. 
 
Dominant males are highly protective of the females, but usually not able to prevent all subordinates of copulating. The larger the group, the harder it is to look for the males, the females all. Dominant males secure significantly more matings than any subordinate, but subordinate males, as a class are responsible for more than one dominant male pairings.
The life of the capybara, the semen is longer than that of other rodents. Capybara gestation is 130-150 days and usually produces a litter of four capybara babies, but can produce between one and eight in a single litter. Youngsters will form a group within the main group. Alloparenting has been observed in this species. Breeding peak between April and May in Venezuela, and between October and November in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Like other rodents, the front teeth grow from capybaras grow continually to compensate for the constant wear down by eating grass their molars also continuously
Water Pigs are gentle and will usually allow people to pet and feed them to hand. Capybara are bred for meat and skins in South America. The meat is considered unfit to eat in some areas, while in other areas it is as an important source of protein. During Lent, capybara meat is especially popular in parts of South America, particularly Venezuela, as alleged, that the Catholic Church to eat in a special dispensation allowed if capybara meat is meat consumption is not otherwise permitted.

Dama Wallaby

Beauty Of Animal | Dama Wallaby | Dama Wallaby, There are many different kinds of kangaroos, but the Dama wallaby are just a little different than the rest, you are mostly nocturnal animals in the wild, but they do fill up food and sun during the day. They have small front feet with five digits with sharp claws. Their hind legs are very powerful and very much larger. Their hind legs have four toes with the end of those much smaller than the mean. The smaller toes have double claws that they use, like a comb. 
 
They have long tails for balance when they swell and as the third leg when sitting. The head-body length is about 26 cm, with a tail about 15 to 17 centimeters long. They sit about 18 inches tall and weigh 9-22 pounds. You are looking mostly dark brown or gray, rough with short fur. The males are usually larger than females because they are a little faster when allowed to grow mature.
Dama wallabies a warning thump with their hind legs when they feel that they are in danger. Because they are usually active at night free in the wild they are able to survive better. Their size is another factor for their survival because they are small, they can hide in vegetation of high
Predators. Dama wallabies are also known to be kept as pets because they are small and relatively easy to maintain. They can live up to 28 years in prison and up to 18 in the wild. An unusual feature of the Dama wallaby is that it usually sits on the tail. Instead of the tail drag behind like most animals, the Dama wallaby sitting on the tail and it just before.
The former Wallabies breeding season is from January to June or August. The males are sexually mature at two years, and females are sexually mature at nine months. The gestation period for former Wallabies is 28 days. The newborn Joey climbs into the pouch and feeds its own until it is ready to look out into the world. The Joey's typically not from its peak to reach their mothers pouch until they are about 150 days old. When I visited the Dama Wallaby at the zoo, there were three in the exhibition. Two rested and ate. They seemed like very quiet pets, but do not interact very much with each other.

Ring-Tailed Cat

Beauty Of Animal | Ring-Tailed Cat | The ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a mammal of the raccoon family (not really a cat), native to arid regions of North America. It is also known as the ringtail cat, ring-tailed cat or miner's cat, and is sometimes mistakenly called "civet cat" (according to similar, though unrelated, like a cat, omnivore of Asia and Africa) called. . Scientific name: Bassariscus astutus Geographical Range: Southwestern United States habitat. Have a variety of habitats, but prefer rocky regions, the ringtail is found in California, Colorado, eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, southern Nevada, Texas, Utah, and northern and central Mexico.
 The ringtail is the state mammal of Arizona. It is also found in the Great Basin Desert. The ringtail prefers to live in rocky habitats associated with water. Physical Description: Adults are 14-16 cm long, around the base of the long tail. Ringtails are agile, catlike animals foxlike faces. Its tail has alternating bands of buff, white and black with the tail down. Can rotate their hind legs to allow easy descent on tree trunks. Ringtails have about 40 teeth and 6 mammaries Special adjustments.
Since ringtails are nocturnal animals, they have the "night life" through night vision devices adapted the eyes of nocturnal animals are usually large, this allows more retinal surface, which allows the eye. collect more light. The retina of nocturnal animals almost entirely of sticks, which are specialized for night vision, together. Ringtails have Eyeshine red or yellow. Ringtails hunt at night, dispatching their small prey with a bite in the neck.
 Predators of ringtails include horned owls, bobcats, coyotes, raccoons and. Reproductive behavior: start Ringtails, sexual behavior at 13 weeks of age show the average litter consists of 3.3 young, the young begin reproduction in the spring after the birth of their social organization. Generally, the adults are known to the family alone in close proximity to each other. The young stay with their mother until their first breeding season, then begin by the independent.

Coati

Beauty Of Animal | Coati | Coatis are active day and night. They spend their nights in trees, with several animals share the nest. While the male prefers to travel alone (and possibly also known as a coati mundi, or lonely Coati can be), the females tend to travel and her boys in bands 4-50 people. New born coatis are altricial, or very immature at birth. Coatis swim well and climb well.  
 
They use their tails to balance on branches and to slow the descent of the tree. Overall, the coatis widespread, occupying habitats ranging from hot and arid areas to humid Amazonian rainforests or even cold Andean mountain slopes, including grasslands and bushy areas. Its geographic range extends from the southwestern United States (Southern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas) through the north of Argentina.
 
 About 10 coatis are probably formed a breeding population in Cumbria, United Kingdom have faced bear, if a tree from a fruit that she will visit the tree again and again until they moved out. . If the demanding male ignored the signal, can cause serious injuries occur on both fights with fighters.
 
 Little is known about the behavior of the mountain coati is known, and the following is almost entirely about the coati Nasua genus. Unlike most members of the family of raccoons (Procyonidae), coatis are primarily diurnal. Coati females and young males up to two years old are sociable and made travel through their territories in noisy, loosely organized bands of four to 25 individuals, foraging with their offspring on the ground or in the treetops. Men more than two years become solitary due to behavioral disposition and collective aggression from the females and the female groups to join only during the breeding season. Coatis communicate their intentions or moods with chirping, snorting or grunting. 
 
 Different chirping sounds are used to bring joy during social grooming, appeasement after fights to express or convey irritation or anger. Snorting while digging, combined with an erect tail, states territorial or food claims during foraging. Individuals recognize other coatis by their looks, voices and smells, will intensify the individual odor of musk special glands on their necks and bellies. 

 
During the breeding season, an adult male is accepted into the band of women and young people near the beginning of the breeding season, what about a polygamous mating system . Females reach sexual maturity at two years, while the males acquire mature age of three years.

Black Window Spider


Beauty Of Animal | Black Window Spider | Black Window spider is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae, that contains 31 recognized species. The Black Widows are perhaps the best known representatives of the genus. The injection of neurotoxic poison latrotoxin of this type is a comparatively dangerous spider bite, what latrodectism in the state, named for the genus. The female black widow's bite is especially dangerous for humans because of its unusually large poison glands, but Latrodectus bites rarely kill people, when their wounds are given medical treatment.
 
The prevalence of sexual cannibalism in Latrodectus of a female spider had given them the common name "Black Widow". The female Latrodectus most of the time eat their males after mating partners Latrodectus. Not all adult female black widows show the red hourglass on the ventral or underside of the abdomen, some have a pair of red spots or no labeling at all. Female widows often show distinct red markings on the back or top of the abdomen, commonly two red spots.  
 
The bite of a male black widow is not considered dangerous to humans, it is the bite of adult female black widow venom sacs from their much larger that this spider has given its dangerous reputation. Although there are large differences in detail on the type and sex, each spider is a red hourglass or a pair of large, red, round spots on the ventral abdomen shows an otherwise black, shiny body an adult female black widow.
Spiders of the genus Steatoda (also of Theridiidae family) are often mistaken for widows, and are known as "false widow", they are much less harmful to humans. Together with other members of the family Theridiidae, the widow spiders construct a network of irregular, tangled, sticky silken fibers. Then, before the insect can liberate themselves, the spider rushes over to bite it and wrap it in silk. The southern black widow, as well as the closely related western and northern species, so far as the same species has a distinctive red hourglass figure on the underside of its abdomen. Many of the other widows have red pattern on a glossy black or dark background, which serve as a warning.
 
Widows can be found on all continents of the world except Antarctica. In North America, the black widows commonly referred to as southern (Latrodectus mactans) is Western (Latrodectus Hesperus) and northern (Latrodectus variolus) found known in the United States, as well as the "gray" or "black widow" (Latrodectus geometricus) and the "Red widow" (Latrodectus bishopi) (Preston Malfham, 1998). The single species in Australia is commonly known as the Redback (Latrodectus hasselti). African species of this genus are also known as button spiders.
Silk of L. hesperus spiders is reputed to be particularly strong in comparison with the silk of other spiders. However, the results of a study by Blackledge et al. could not confirm this. The tensile strength (tensile strength) (or tensile strength), and other physical properties of Latrodectus Hesperus (Western Black Widow) silk were found to be comparable with the properties of silk orb-weavers, who had been tested in other studies.

Atlantic Puffin

Beauty Of Animal | Atlantic Puffin | The puffins (Fratercula arctica) is a seabird species in the auk family. Further known as the common puffin, it is the only species that puffins in the Atlantic to find "is. The Puffin is the provincial bird of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The puffin is 26-29 centimeters (10-11 in) in length (Bill 3-4 cm), with between 47 and 63 centimeters (19 to 25 in) wingspan. This bird is mostly black above and white below grow, with gray to white cheeks and red-orange legs. The characteristic bright orange bill plates before the breeding season and are shed after breeding. Bills in mating rituals, as the pair tapping their bills together.
 
The Horned Puffin related (Fratercula corniculata) from the North Pacific looks very similar, but slightly different headdress. The Puffin is typically silent at sea, except for soft purring sounds it sometimes makes in flight. This species breeds on the coasts of northern Europe, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and eastern North America, from and within the Arctic Circle to northern France and Maine. About 95% of puffins breed in North America around Newfoundland's coastlines.  
The largest puffin colony in the western Atlantic (estimated at more than 260,000 pairs) can be found at the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, south of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Puffin viewing has also begun to become popular in Elliston Newfoundland, previously named Iceland Bird Cove, near Trinity.
Predators of puffins are the Great Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus), the Great Skua (Stercorarius skua), and similarly large species that can catch a puffin in flight, or choose a separated from the colony. More recent population decline may have been used because of increased predation by gulls and skuas, the introduction of rats, cats, dogs and foxes on some islands for nesting, contamination by toxic residues that have drowned in fishing nets, declining food supply, and climate change.
In the breeding season of 2006 about 68,000 pairs were counted on the Isle of May. However, Iceland has many times as many breeding pairs of puffins (Lundi in Icelandic) is the most populous bird on the island. In 2008, the decline in the Farne Islands and the Isle of May colonies reported. Because the puffin gets the bulk of their food by diving, it is important that there is an ample supply of resources and food. This study implies consequences for the species if global warming leads to a change in the tides.  
 
SOS Puffin is a project for the preservation of the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick base to save the puffins on the islands in the Firth of Forth. Puffin numbers on the island of Craigleith, once one of the larest colonies in Scotland with 28,000 couples have only a few thousand over the invasion of a giant alien plant Tree Mallow, Lavatera arborea, which has taken over the island and crashed prevented the puffin access to their caves and breeding.
