Cave Lion 5. Chalicotherium The cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea) was probably the biggest lion that ever lived. It was 25 percent bigger than lions today and was up to about 11.5 ft (3.5 m) long. was an early, herbivorous mammal from the Miocene. This forest browser was an ungulate with large, clawed feet (instead of hooves).
In the United States, there are over 30,000 mountain lions (“Basic facts”, 2014), which makes this cat the largest member of the cat family present in the country (“Mountain Lion”, 2014). However, the Florida panther is very endangered with less than 100 living mountain lions still roaming (“Basic facts”, 2014). In Colorado, there is a high mountain lion density with one cat for every eight square miles (Busch, 1996, p.46). This cat is found in typical mountain regions, swamps, and also
Their bill and feet are yellow. Their feet are unfeathered, and equipped with large, sharp talons for penetrating and grasping prey. The bald eagle is the only large black bird with a white head in North America. The female eagle can be determined because she is slightly larger than the male. The female eagle weight range can be from 10 to 14 pounds and the weight for the male is 8 to 9 pounds.
The female centaur is smaller than the male centaur. From what is visible beneath the fatal claws of the tiger, one could tell that the human and horse halves of the female centaur's body are fairer then that of the alive male counter part. The male centaur's torso is tan and muscular displaying the god-like image that the Greeks created their human forms under. The male centaur also shows dominance by the stance and position the artist shaped him in. He is reared up on his hind equine legs while he is lifting a massive boulder over his head.
Widely published data of specimens that were reported to have been even several feet longer are not verified. [5] There are dwarf forms on Java, Bali and Sulawesi. On Bali they reach an average length of 2 metres (6.6 ft),[9] and on Sulawesi they achieve a maximum of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft). [10] Geographic range and habitat[edit] Natural Distribution of the Burmese Python (green). The Burmese Python are found throughout Southern- and Southeast Asia, including Eastern India, Nepal, western Bhutan, southeastern Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, northern continental Malaysia, far southern China (Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan),[11] Hong Kong, and in Indonesia on Java, southern Sulawesi, Bali and Sumbawa.
These SPINES were probably embedded in a thick ridge of muscle. Acrocanthosaurus is the only known American dinosaur with such high spines. It is known from a skull and most of a skeleton found in Oklahoma and Texas. A recent flood in Texas uncovered some footprints that scientists think were made by Acrocanthosaurus. AcrocanthosaurusFOSSILS have been found in similar rock hearby.
THE BALD EAGLE The bald eagle is a bird of prey with a blackish-brown back and breast and a white head, neck, and tail. It has yellow feet and beak. It is seen in different colors though sometimes because it is seen on a lot of United States currency. The Bald Eagles nest is the biggest nest of any North American bird. It is 4 meters deep, 2.5 meters wide and 1 ton in weight.
By the late 1980’s and early 90’s, the Gray Wolf reached its population goal of over 1600, which is the minimum to be on the endangered species list. Even so, the wolf remained on and has flourished. It has created larger wolf packs and has expanded onto new territory that was once thought to be uninhabitable to wolves. The one problem with more and larger packs is that the Gray Wolf is a very territorial mammal and will wander tens to hundreds of miles to find prime territory and abundance of prey. With most of the wolf populations residing in Northeastern Minnesota, some wolf packs have been venturing into central Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Austin D. West Mrs. Tracye Peden Seventh Grade ELA January 6, 2009 The White-Tailed Deer The White-Tailed deer are very beautiful and will always be one of the most popular animals to be hunted in North America. White-tailed deer have grown very much over time! The scientific name for the white-tailed deer is Odocoileus Virginianus. The first reason is because of the population. There are over 18 million deer in the United States.
As human contact with the bears increases, problems also became obvious. In the 1950s, approximately one out of every 24,000 visitors was injured by a bear. In 1967, the bear population was considered endangered due to the fact that many bears were shot as the incidents of them attacking humans for food became very frequent. From 1980 to 2005, the growth of grizzly population jumped from 4% and 7% each year. In the
