It’s been recorded that a researcher found a nest that weighed two tons. The many fascinating things about eagles are plentiful; they can fly to an altitude of 10, 000 feet and reach high speeds of 30 to 35 mph. Eagles soar above the storm clouds. The eagle can dive at speeds over 100 mph. I have also realized in my reading and researching that the eagle can actually swim.
They are also brightly colored and have skin that can be damaged easily in the rainy season. Geckos can change the color of their skin. The peacock day gecko is a diurnal lizard. Tiny hooks on the bottoms of geckos feet let them run up walls. Active lizards such as peacock day geckos use their sight and speed to not get caught by their predators.They can hide under stones or in the ground when they are not active.The predators of the peacock day gecko are large birds like owls, snakes and other large animals.
Its nest is large platform of sticks about 1.2 m across and 30 cm deep. One nest was noted to be in the same tree above a communal nest of Monk Parakeets. Eggs were recorded in October and young in May but nothing more is really known about its breeding activities. This species is considered vulnerable by BirdLife International, mainly because it occurs at very low density and it is very seldomly encountered in the wild. It is largely threatened by habitat destruction, since its habitat has been greatly compromised by the spread of agriculture and cattle-ranching.
4. The katydid has four good sized wings that fold over the back. 5. The katydid, like all insects, has a head, thorax and abdomen. Adaptations: 1.
It is 4 meters deep, 2.5 meters wide and 1 ton in weight. In that nest the bald eagles lays eggs once a year or less but only 1-4 eggs at a time. The eggs are all white. The bald eagle can live up to thirty years, but even longer when it is in captivity because when their in the wild people wreck them and they get sick by D.D.T. It is illegal now though to hunt or use D.D.T.
Bio 100 Homework due 11/05/12 Name : Nicholas Oliveira Go to the website on cheetah conservation www.Cheetah.org and read the following sections under the tabs About Cheetahs: Intro, Genetic Diversity, & Race for Survival 1. Why are cheetahs endangered? Our attitudes and misconceptions about these species have led to their endangerment because many people deal with their fear by eliminating predators. 2. What are the 5 most common causes of extinction?
Introduction White-Breasted Nuthatches live in most of North America, southern part of Canada, and Central America. The pilot study was conducted at a resident’s house recording different species of birds coming to and from a bird feeder. There were four species of birds
• The common garter snake feed on worms, fish, insects, amphibians, and uncommonly mice. • Aquatic Birds: Other than ducks and geese, over 20 species of aquatic birds can be found in the Rideau River. Many aquatic birds use the river as a “migratory staging area”. Ducks in the area eat similar to the common snapping turtle including plants, insects, and small amphibians. • Fish: The Rideau River has a variety of cool-water fish.

Most geese begin breeding when they are 2 to 3 years old and nest every year for the rest of their lives, which can last more than 20 years. At an average of 5 to 6 eggs per nest, a female goose may produce more than 50 young over her lifetime. Canada geese have a strong tendency to return to where they were born and use the same nesting and feeding sites. This makes it hard to eliminate geese once they become settled in a local area. Areas
