My favorite part about them is how they sunbath in a pose as if they were worshiping something. The conditions of Madagascar that the lemur had to adapt to forced them to become terrestrial creatures showing more evidence that over time terrestrial primates had to get used to scoping for predators as well as picking food from trees. The Guenon is another example from this era and by far is my favorite lemuroid due to the wise man beard. This type of lemur is found in varies parts of Africa (PIN). They are fair in size with longer legs, quite
Chimpanzees can be found all over Africa, from Senegal and Gambia to Uganda and Tanzania. They easily adapt to a variety of habitats including grasslands, tropical rain forests. As I noticed during my observation, he chimpanzee is omnivorous, but its diet depends on its habitat. Chimps that live in the rain forest tend to eat more fruit and leaves, while chimps in grasslands prefer to dine on insects and other animals. Based on my observations, I analyzed that biologically the chimpanzee is closely related to humans, so many of their characteristics may seem familiar.
The black footed ferret is listed in the Genus Mustela. It is a big group, with 16 species listed under that umbrella. The ferret once found throughout the eastern and southern Rockies and Great Plains is now only found in in Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico. The black footed ferret can be found in medium tall grass prairies. It will often make their homes in abandoned prairie dog burrows.
The Saki monkeys, that inhabit the mountainous terrains of South America, have coarse fur, an adaptation that enables the mammal to remain dry during the rain spells in the region. The Amazon rainforest is a perfect monkey habitat. Due to its wet and very hot climatic, the Woolly monkeys that inhabit the region and that along the Amazon basin and mountain ranges of Peru, live high up in the tree canopies. The Asian and African Old World monkeys enjoy more varied habitats. Occasionally, these species reside in cooler climates, monkeys found in China and Japan, are prime examples but not common.
In this way, the Cottonwood acts as a precursor in succession for larger trees along with Marram grass due to its role in helping to stabilize the soil. This makes sense considering the Cottonwoods are found before the larger hardwood tree species that are located in the more heavily wooded habitats of the dunes. The Cottonwood also provides a nesting habitat for the Eastern Kingbird, which perches on its limbs while searching for prey and returns instinctively to the same tree after hunting. Instances of secondary succession at the dunes are further evidenced in the wooded habitats of the
In the top row where our teeth are usually located, giraffes have a bony ridge instead. This helps for biting off food. If it weren’t for giraffes’ long necks, most African animals would have to fight over ground-level food. A giraffe’s body structures and movement is very different from that of other animals. A giraffe can weigh anywhere from 1,200 – 4,000 pounds during adulthood.
They both hibernate when the temperature in there environments are not hot enough. Has you read about the Savannah and Black throated-monitors I hope you see even though they are part of the same family they both have unique traits. I personally owned both as pets and with proper care they can be very fun pets to owe. Savannahs and Black throats also being part of the monitor family deserve a lot of respect they both can easily out muscle you if they feel threated. I hope you get a lot of knowledge from reading my paper on comparing and contrasting two very large reptiles that I see has marvels of Mother
Here’s what I’ve learned. Peacock day geckos eat insects, nectar, and fruits. Peacock day geckos are one of the most beautiful day geckos.They live in the tropical forests of Madagascar. My lizard can grow to be about four and a half inches long. They are also brightly colored and have skin that can be damaged easily in the rainy season.
It is the most primitive, and it includes true lemurs, galagos and lorises. This group of primates rely commonly on an ancestral trait known as olfaction, sense of smell. There ability to smell comes from a moist, fleshy pad, or rhinarium at the end of their nose along with a long snout. Uncommon in other primates, prosimians routinely mark their territory with scent (jurmain,208). A grooming claw on the second digit of their feet , and a dental tooth comb formed by forward projecting lower incisors and canies are some of their distinctive characteristics.
protists and fungi, have their food delivered to them, thus conserving energy by not having to go far to feed. These protists also exhibit ectosymbionts; symbionts occurring on the outside of their bodies. These interconnected mutual beneficial relationships between the termites and their symbionts are cause for a most perfect example of mutual symbiosis in the animal kingdom. Termites Termites are colonial insects that belong to the taxonomic family Termitidae of the order Blattodea. This insect has a fossil record dating back as far as the Cretaceous period, 140 million years ago and have developed into approximately 2600 different species around the globe, most species inhabiting tropical rain forests and the savannas; fewer inhabiting more temperate climates.
