Although their venom isn’t not lethal to humans it is used to subdue and kill the prey, and they are also known to strangle their prey to death like the Boa Constrictor snakes. When this vicious snake feels threatened its first reaction is to lunge at the threatening object and attempt to bite. This snake is an above average breeder producing 4 to 12 eggs approximately twice a year. This reptile was introduced after World War II when the snake was accidently transported from the South Pacific to Guam allowing for the snake to introduce to other locations such as Florida unknowingly (Rodda, 1992). Since there are no natural predators present in
They are also known to eat farm animals if they have to. Sometimes they will eat cattle straight from farmland. Fortunately, the Florida Panther is at the top of the food chain with very few natural predators. Their only real predators are adult alligators, which have been known to sometimes ambush the Florida Panther, and human beings. Humans are one of the main reasons that the Florida Panther is an endangered species.
Catfights mainly happen when two cats are fighting for territory. Mercury poisoning happens when mercury leaks into the water and either the Panther directly drinks it, or an animal that they eat drinks the poisoned water. Kitten survival rate is not good either because many are affected by heart conditions from inbreeding. Not many things are being done to stop the Panthers from becoming extinct, but something’s are. Texas Pumas were released to breed with the Panthers.
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.
INCREDIBLE JAGUARS If you are ever in the rainforest of South America, you might not see a jaguar, but they are there. Jaguars are usually up in the trees, lying on a branch, sleeping or waiting for their food to walk by. They almost never attack people, but some have before. They are like the king of the South American rainforest. The main enemy of the jaguar is humans.
(They live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America.) It is also said that “they are especially vulnerable to the effects of forest fragmentation.” (2) Another reason that some Spider Monkeys are endangered is because of the threat of hunters. People of the same habitat as Spider Monkeys often hunt them for food. A big reason why they are so attractive as food to others is because of their huge size, with them being able to reach 24 pounds in weight as a mature male. Although the Spider Monkeys are suffering every day because of their loss of habitat and the threat of their hunters.
Giraffes will fight if they have to, but will usually just try to outrun a predator. They often get a good head start on predators because they have great eyesight and get a good view of the territory with their great height. As a matter of fact, other animals know how good giraffes are at seeing predators, so they hang around with giraffes and, if they see the giraffes start to get nervous or take off running, they take off too. What do they eat? Giraffes are herbivores, meaning they eat plants rather than meat.
The Vervet Monkey inhabits savana lands and mountains up to 4,000 m (13,100 ft). In East Africa these monkeys can live in mountain areas up to about 13,000 feet, but they do not inhabit rain forests or deserts. Their preferred habitat is acacia woodland along streams, rivers and lakes. They are diurnal, sleeping and eating in trees from which they seldom venture. The ververt monkey prefers woodlands of all kinds, but favors woodlands adjacent to grassland.
The number of koalas is determined by the number of trees. Koalas are highly specialized to survive only in one type of habitat, in woodland with plenty of eucalyptus trees, also known as gum trees. Places like that provide the koala with food, water, safety from ground predators, and all other needs. Koalas do not have dens, tree- holes, or nests. They sleep, eat, and breed on the branches.
They are very slow moving and loud monkeys. Howler monkeys have adapted throughout the years in order to survive. They are hunted for food by local native tribes. They are also exported as pets. They are easily located because of their loud calls.
