Bobcat

Beauty Of AnimalBobcat | The Bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a North American mammal of the cat family Felidae, appear during the Irvingtonian stage of about 1.8 million years (AEO). With twelve recognized subspecies, it ranges from southern Canada to northern Mexico, including most of the continental United States. The Bobcat is an adaptable predator that forested areas, as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edges and swampland environments inhabited. It consists of much of its original range and populations are healthy.
With a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, the Bobcat resembles the other species of the genus Lynx medium. It is smaller on average than the Canadian Lynx, with which it shares parts of its range, but is about twice as large as the domestic cat. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black tip, stubby tail, from which it derives its name.

Although the lynx pulls rabbits and hares, it is nothing of the small rodents and insects, to hunt deer. Prey selection depends on location and habitat, season, and abundance. Like most cats, the Bobcat is territorial and largely solitary, although there is some overlap in areas. It uses several methods to their territorial boundaries, including claw marks and mark deposits of urine or feces. The Bobcat breeds from winter into spring and has a gestation period of about two months.
Although lynx were extensively hunted by humans, both for sport and fur, its population has to be resilient. The robbers volatile functions in Native American mythology and folklore of the European settlers.Bobcats are elusive and nocturnal, they are rarely seen by humans. Although they are rarely seen, they roam in large parts of North America and adapt well to such diverse habitats such as forests, swamps, deserts and even suburban areas.
Bobcats, sometimes called wildcats, are roughly twice as large as the average house cat. They have long legs, large paws, and tufted ears similar to those of its larger relative, the Canada lynx. Most bobcats are brown or brownish red with a white underbelly and short, black-tipped tail. The cat is named for its tail, which seems to be cut or "bobbed." Fierce hunters can kill Bobcats prey much larger than itself, but usually eat rabbits, birds, mice, squirrels and other small game. The Bobcat can hunt through the back door, but delivers the final blow with a leaping throw to 10 feet (3 meters) 
Bobcats are solitary animals. Women choose a remote cave to a litter of 1-6 kittens, the increase remain with their mother for 9 to 12 months. During this time they will learn, before you hunt on their own. In some areas Bobcats are still trapped for their soft, spotted fur. North American population are likely to be quite large, perhaps with no less than one million cats in the United States alone.

Sand lizard

Beauty Of Animal | Sand lizard |  The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) is a lacertid lizard in most of Europe and spread to the east Mongolia. It is not appearing on the European or the Iberian Peninsula, Turkey. Its distribution is often patchy.The sand lizard has a slightly lower abdomen and dorsal stripe: men are generally dark in color and in whole or in part can rotate during the mating season, bright green lizards up to 25 cm (10 inches) in length. It has several subspecies, of which the Lacerta agilis agilis is westerly. 
In this and the other Great Western subspecies (Lacerta agilis argus), the dorsal stripe is interrupted and Dunn, or absent altogether. This latter gilts in particular for the subspecies, which also includes one or only red-backed brown-phase markers without backs. In these two subspecies, the males only in the flanks of the Green mating season, but in the eastern subspecies (Lacerta agilis exigua predominantly) men can be very green, even outside the breeding season.

Scientific classificationKingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder:   Lacertilia
Family: Lacertidae
Genus: Lacerta
Species:         L. agilis

In Britain, the heath is confined to the southern fence lizard and the sand dunes of North West England. Gilts It is threatened as a strictly protected by British law and - as in most of Europe (it is a European protected artery) is. This stands in contrast to Lacerta agilis exigua, whose Russian name translates as "common lizard". The female lays eggs in the sand lizard loose sand in a sunny location so that they are incubated by the heat of the soil. The British Herpetological Conservation Trust is the leading partner in the UK Species Action Plan (SAP) for the sand lizard. Dardanelle High School, located in Arkansas, is the only school with the fence lizard mascot.
