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.
The Brown Tree snake is a native snake to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Melanesia. This snake is known to have a dark brown color and can grow up to 9 ft long a little above the average wild snake size. These snakes feed on birds, lizards, bats, small rodents, and occasionally other snakes. Due to the lack of natural predators in certain areas and an excessive amount of prey, the population of these snakes is bound to increase. They are commonly found in trees, caves, and the ground and near limestone cliffs.
The mountain lion is a fascinating animal. With its rich history, quick speed and agility, this animal is a fierce predator. Ernest Seton once said, “let us remember that the mountain lion is in all physical respects a cat, simply a cat multiplied by 20” (Savage, 1993, p.63). If an encounter with a mountain lion occurs, there are a few survival techniques, but preventative knowledge is the best route to avoid an unwanted outcome. The mountain lion is a large cat that is also known as a cougar, panther, yellow cat, puma, and several other names (Danz, 1999, p.13).
These cubs are virtually helpless for the first few weeks but can suckle their mother for a rich diet. After about 7 or 8 weeks the cubs will be able to follow their mother out of the den. For the next year the cubs will follow their mother everywhere. While the mother teaches the cubs skills in find food and protecting themselves. After the cubs first winter they will be sent away from their mother so she can breed again.
[6] In the wild, Burmese pythons grow to 3.7 metres (12 ft) on average,[3][4] while specimens of more than 4 metres (13 ft) are uncommon. [7][8] In general, individuals over 5 metres are rare. [7] The record maximum length for Burmese Pythons is held by a female named “Baby”, that lived at Serpent Safari, Gurnee, Illinois, for 27 years. Shortly after death, her actual length was determined to be 5.74 metres (18 ft 10 in). Widely published data of specimens that were reported to have been even several feet longer are not verified.

Not that you’d be likely to see any of these bashful animals whilst on holiday but let’s point them out just in case. Rat snakes (alternatively called Chicken snakes due to their taste for chickens!) are so common across the state of Florida and easily tamed by humans that they’re often kept as pets, despite the likelihood that they’ll grow up to 6ft in length. Back in the wild though, they play a very important role in the local Floridian ecosystems by keeping rodents at bay, hence the name Rat snakes! Unlike the UK, some of Florida’s resident snakes are venomous to humans, here’s the deadly list; Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Rattlesnake, Timber Rattlesnake, Dusky Pigmy Rattler and the yellow striped Coral Snake.
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.
Orcas in captivity face premature death, “In the wild they have an average life expectancy of 30 to 50 years—their estimated maximum lifespan is 60 to 70 years for males and 80 to over 100 for females. The median age of orcas in captivity is only 9, and orcas at SeaWorld rarely make it even to the average life expectancy of their wild cousins.”(SeaWorld oh Hurt) Orcas need to swim up to a hundred miles each day but in the parks they are only confined to a tiny pool and forced to swim in the same space their entire life. Being in such small spaces, light has been shed on the fighting between killer whales. “Orcas who are not compatible are forced to live in tight quarters together. The resulting anxiety and tension cause fights between orcas.
The scent is a massive target for predators. Most all fawns will be able to stand within a half hour of birth. The fawn will soon drink its mother’s milk which is called colostrum. All of the milk has proteins which will make the fawn stronger. A doe will hide its fawn or fawns while she is gone to feed.
