Due to deforestation, agriculture and other development has been the motivation behind the panda of the low-lying areas where they once lived.Panda is to preserve the endangered species dependent and shows a 2007 report, 239 captive-living in captivity in China and 27 others outside the country is different population estimates and Wilde.


One estimate shows that there are about 1,590 people living in the wild, while a 2006 study by analyzing the DNA is estimated that this number can be up to 2000 to 3000. Some reports also indicate that the number of pandas in the wild are on the rise. However, the nature does not believe that there is sufficient certainty so far to the reclassification of the endangered species of the weak.While the dragon has historically China's national emblem, in recent decades has also served panda theme for this country. Image shows a large number of silver and modern Chinese commemorative gold, platinum and coins.

Caught most of the penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sealife while swimming underwater. Spend nearly half their lives on the ground and half in the oceans.Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, is not found only in cold climates, like Antarctica.


In fact, only a few types of penguins live to the south. Found several species in the temperate zone, and one species, and the penguins and the Galapagos, live near the equator.Largest of the living Emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): adults average about 1.1 meters (3 feet, 7 inches) tall and weighs 35 kilograms (75 pounds) or more.

Between the penguins there, and the largest penguins inhabit colder regions, while found smaller penguins are generally found in tropical or even temperate (see also Bergmann's Rule). Achieved some species prehistoric enormous sizes, becoming as tall or heavy as adults of human rights. Were not limited to these areas to the South Pole, but on the areas, in contrast subantarctic harbored a high degree of diversity, and at least one giant penguin occurred in a region not quite 2000 km south of the equator, 35 Mia, in a climate warmer than it is today for sure.

There are two types: the northern elephant seal (M. angustirostris) and southern elephant seal (M. Asadi). The pursuit of the edge of extinction by the end of the 19th century, but the numbers have recovered since then. The northern elephant seal, slightly smaller than the relative in the south, and ranges over the Pacific coast in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Education site far north on the Pacific coast in a race the rocks, at the southern tip of Vancouver Island in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.


Found on the southern elephant seal in the southern hemisphere on islands such as South Georgia and Macquarie Island, and on the coasts of New Zealand and South Africa and Argentina in the Peninsula Valdés, which is the fourth largest elephant seal colony in the world. Elephant seals takes its name from a large hose from the adult males (bulls) which resembles an elephant trunk. uses the elephant and the bull in the production sounds very loud roaring, especially during the mating season.


More importantly, however, the nose acts as a kind of rebreather, filled with cavities designed to reabsorb moisture from the exhalations of animals. This is important during the mating season when the male seals rarely leave the beach to feed and therefore must be preserved body moisture and have no source of incoming water. Bulls in the north of each of the seals elephant southern reaches a length 16 feet (4.9 meters) and weighs just £ 6600 (3000 kg), and are much larger than the cows, which measure usually about 10 feet (3.0 meters) and £ 2000 (910 kg).

Bonobo


Beauty Of Animal | Bonobo | He bonobo and the general paniscus, called earlier in the chimpanzee dwarf, less often, or chimpanzees dwarf gracilis, is the monkey chief one of these two types make up the genus Pan. Other species in the Pan troglodytes is the genus Pan, or common chimpanzees. Although the name "chimpanzee" is sometimes used to refer to both types together, usually understood to refer to common chimpanzees, while usually referred as Pan paniscus bonobo.Age of the bonobo in captivity is about 40 years. life in the wild is not known.Bonobos are far less aggressive than chimpanzees and other apes.And endangered bonobo is found in the wild only in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Side by side with the common chimpanzee, and bonobo is the closest relative to humans exists. Because these two types is not mastered swimming, it is possible that the formation of the River Congo 1,5-2,000,000 years led to the speciation of the bonobo.


They live south of the river, and thus were separated from the common ancestors of chimpanzees, which live north of river.The autopsy attributed the German Ernst Schwarz with a bonobo was discovered in 1928, based on his analysis of the skull in the Tervuren Museum in Belgium, which was earlier believed to belong to a chimpanzee events. Schwarz published his findings in 1929. In 1933, the American College Harold anatomy provided a more detailed description of the bonobo, and elevated to the status of species.American Psychological and the great apes and Robert Yerkes was also one of the first scientists to notice the main differences between chimpanzees and bonobos. first discussed in detail in a study by Paul Edward Tratz and Heinz Heck, published in the early 1950s.And is characterized by this type of relatively long legs, and pink lips, and face the darkness and the lock of the tail during puberty, long hair fork upside down.


See the baboon that the matriarchal: females tend to dominate the collective male through the formation of alliances; females use their sexuality to control men, is determined his rank males in the hierarchy of social rank of his mother However, there are also claims a special role for the movement of the alpha male in the group. [Citation needed] and have also been limited research on bonobos in the wild indicate that it may be exaggerated these behaviors that matriarchal families, as well as providing food by researchers in the field This has recently been displayed to appeal, but Woods Vanessa University Duke Breton noted in a radio interview which had been observed bonobos in the sanctuary large forest in the Democratic Republic of Congo and show the same kind of excessive sexual desire in these circumstances more than normal, and while it recognizes the hierarchy among males, including the "alpha male", and this is the less dominant males from females dominating.

The mouth is protractile, and the lower jaw juts out.


Sizes are generally small, about 50-10 cm, but T. chatareus can be up to 40 centimeters (16 inches) Archerfish remarkably accurate in the shooting;. Adult fish almost always hit a target to shoot first. They can bring down an insect includes grasshoppers, spiders and butterflies on a branch overhanging the water, meters above the water surface. This is partly due to good eyesight, but also their ability to compensate for the refraction of light when it passes through the interface of water and air when the aims of their prey. They usually prey on the spit in the corner mean of about 74 degrees from horizontal, but can still aim accurately when he spat at angles between 45 and 110 degrees.When choosing archerfish its prey, it is going on in the eye so that the image of prey is a particular part of the eye in the vicinity of the ventral temporal retina, and the lips of just breaking the surface, the flow of a jet of water on the victim. Does not do it using a narrow groove in the roof of his mouth.


It is pressing for language against this groove to form a narrow channel, and contracts its gill covers and then force the strong jet of water through the channel. The aircraft resulting from the water up to 2.5 meters long, but accuracy is only allowed to photograph insects 1-2 meters away depending on the size of the body. Fish can not change the power of fire to prey of different sizes. If the shot does not knock the first victim in the water, and will try to keep archerfish.Young people begin shooting archerfish when they are about 2.5 centimeters, but not accurate in the beginning and we have to learn from the experience. During this period of learning, and they hunt in small schools. In this way, enhanced by the possibility that the plane and at least one hit its target.Archerfish will jump in too often out of the water and grab the insect in their mouth if it happens to be at hand. Individuals usually prefer to remain close to the surface of the water.
