If you annoy gila monsters they grab you and not do let go. The gila monster hunts down its food by injecting poison into it. The gila monster’s life span is about 20 years. The gila monster is endangered. Gila monsters don’t have any predators because their poison scares them away.
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
Other researchers think some people were trying to breed Snakeheads as they bring a large amount of money in some areas. (Frankenfish.com). The Northern Snakehead is a major predator, as it has no enemies. It has the ability to wipe out populations of native fish. “Frankenfish” entire diet mostly contains other fish, as well as plants and insects.
Mealworms would be considered prey rather than a predator. They are consumed by various animals such as a variety of birds, spiders, other beetles, rodents, and lizards. Some people from other countries will also consume these creatures (http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/insects/beetles/mealworm/mealwormlifecycle.shtml). Purpose: This experiment is done to see which foods and liquids a mealworm likes. We also see what they are like, how they move around, and how fast some move compared to others.
3. Katydids can also mimic other insects to avoid being eaten Interesting Facts: 1. The katydid’s order is Orthoptera. 2. The katydid’s family is
The average Florida Panther needs about three thousand calories per day to keep them going. Pregnant females need about eight thousand calories and growing kittens need about twenty thousand calories per day to survive. They tend to eat larger animals, such as deer and wild pigs, but also eat raccoons, armadillos, rabbits, and other smaller game. They are not all carnivorous though, they will occasionally eat some plants. At night, when this remarkable animal is wide awake, they travel in zig-zag patterns while they hunt and defend their territory.
Sow bugs also prefer dark, damp, covered places because it keeps them hidden from most of their enemies, according to Pill Bug Biology: A Spider’s Spinach, But a Biologist’s Delight. The overall class observation
The horsefly does that by swinging its tail to prevent the bugs from coming closer. The flapenguin gives the horsefly a shelter by letting it live on its body. The flapenguin doesn’t do it on purpose because the horsefly is too small for the flapenguin to see it. * If the horsefly were to become extinct, then the flapenguin would encounter more diseases. The horsefly is the one that keeps most of the disease carrying bugs off the flapenguin.
In order to withstand cold temperatures, the diamondback rattle snake hibernates during the winter months in underground boroughs previously made by other animals as it does not have the ability to dig on its own (Glaudas, 2009). To protect it self from hot weather, the diamondback becomes nocturnal in the summer months and consumes its meals at night when the temperature becomes cooler. Therefore, it is most active during the spring and fall months when the weather is most ideal. The diamondback rattlesnake has the ability to slow its metabolic rate to reduce the amount of food, water and oxygen it needs to survive (Glaudas, 2009). The diamondback rattlesnake’s skin is also another example of how this organism has adapted to living in the Southwestern desert.
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.
