Spider Monkeys can be very dependent creatures as they depend on their mothers for about 10 weeks after their birth. They travel in groups of two to three dozen. “According to some scientists, the spider monkey is the most intelligent of the New World monkeys.” (1) There are two main reasons that some groups of Spider Monkeys are endangered. One is that the destruction of their habitat. (They live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America.)
The Arthropod I chose to research is Scorpions. Scorpions are a member of the Arachnida class. They are closely related to spiders, mites, and ticks which are multicellular, eukaryotes, have an exoskeleton made of chitin, and have jointed appendages. These insects have been around for hundreds of years. There are almost 2,000 scorpion species, but only 30 or 40 have strong enough poison to actually be able to kill a person.
Pill bugs are about ¾ of an inch, dark black or brown, and have seven sets of jointed legs. Their bodies are divided into seven segments, one for each pair of legs. They have an exoskeleton, which means their vertebra is located on the outside of their body. 2 large antenna are located on its head, in between the eyes. These pests prefer to live in dark, wet places.

Insects are always tiny and have many huge predators. In order to survive, they have furnished with various kinds of self-protection mechanisms through millions of years’ evolution. Camouflage is the most distinguished one among them. Camouflage of insects, as a tactic of defense, can be defined that “Adult insects resemble a whole host of objects and backgrounds, from leaves to bird droppings” (Insects [PC], 2007). Insects which use camouflage look like things in its environment.
Impact: The cactus moth can kill most prickly pear cacti, in particular those species that have flat pads. In Florida, the cactus moth has already caused considerable harm to the six species of vulnerable prickly pears, three of which are state listed. In some places, 75% of the prickly pear cacti have been attacked by the moth, with small individuals at greatest risk of death from these attacks. Most of the peninsula from Gainesville south is now infested. The greatest threat is to the deserts of the American Southwest - from Texas to California - and Mexico.
The average Florida Panther needs about three thousand calories per day to keep them going. Pregnant females need about eight thousand calories and growing kittens need about twenty thousand calories per day to survive. They tend to eat larger animals, such as deer and wild pigs, but also eat raccoons, armadillos, rabbits, and other smaller game. They are not all carnivorous though, they will occasionally eat some plants. At night, when this remarkable animal is wide awake, they travel in zig-zag patterns while they hunt and defend their territory.
Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes have a pair of long hollow fangs that they can inject venom into their prey. During a strike an Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake will eject the fangs at the last possible moment. The Massasaugas rattlesnakes are eaten by eagles, herons and some mammals. Does the Rattlesnake have a relationship with humans? The Massasaugas rattlesnake will not attack humans if they are left alone.
The most dangerous species of jellyfish is the box jellyfish, which is widely known as the sea wasp as well. This type of jellyfish is the most poisonous animal in the world. The box jellyfish belongs to the class Cubozoa. Their tentacles are usually several feet long, and their body has a box-like shape to it and can be as small as a few millimeters in diameter to the size of a
