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. Peacock day geckos can lay two to three eggs at a time. They lay their eggs in sheltered areas, such an an area of moss or under any other sheltered plant.Peacock day geckos feed thier babies daily.They spend their days leaping around looking for insects, lapping up necter and juices, getting pollen and overripe fruits.

Glow Worms - Arachnocampa flava Glow worms are the larvae of a large mosquito-like fly. They inhabit a variety of terrain that consists of shady protected places with high humidity, and somewhat damp places where you can find glow worms are in the earth walls of roadside cuttings and tracks, crevices in rock faces, creek banks, and on root masses of large fallen trees. The life cycle of a glow worm involves four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult fly. Eggs are laid in large numbers directly onto the walls of the site. Some two weeks later the eggs hatch into tiny larvae that immediately start glowing from their tails.
c) Feeds mostly on Harvester termites, Insect Larvae, and eggs of ground nesting birds d) Has a rancid odor to that of a __________. 2.
When a cheetahs mating season comes a male will come out of their group and mate. Females usually give birth to: 2-4 cubs at a time. When the cubs are born the male will leave the female and go back to its group. The cubs grow fast and reach half the size of an adult within 6 months. When cubs are a year old their mother leaves them but the cubs still live together.
Once a year, penguins molt losing their old feathers and growing new ones. While molting, which can last three weeks, they cannot swim and do not eat. Concerning their diet, African penguins can travel from 30 to 70 km to find food. Their diets consist mainly of fish such as anchovies, pilchards, horse mackerel and round herrings and crustaceans of which krill is the principal species. They can eat up to one pound of fish every day.
They come from the tropical forests of Central and South Africa. The Capuchins are very active and intelligent. This species can grasp items and their thumb is close, but not opposable like the human species. Like chimps, the capuchins have been seen to use tools to catch termites. The next evolution that we witness is
* These niches had an abundance of food. * Over time the finch’s evolved a beak according to the food they ate. * Darwin concluded by calling his theory, “The Theory of Natural Selection.”At the time of Darwin’s research another scientist by the name of Wallace was completing similar research in Indonesia. In Indonesia it has been documented that Wallace collected 125 660 species, producing over one thousand new species to science. Through his research he was coming to similar conclusions to that of Darwin.
It takes a day or two to completely kill the insect. Therefore the tarantula may eat it alive. Although the Tarantula is a big predator towards insect, it still has to have defense against its predators. It’s body I made up of many small, and irritating hairs. It defends itself by rubbing those hairs against its predator.
They like to eat fish and amphibians. This snake mates from late May to early June by forming “mating balls” consisting of one female and several males. They are live births, not hatched in eggs and have an average litter size of four up to ninety-nine but average about thirty babies. Only fifteen percent of the young survive their first year. They grow quickly, but then slow down when they approach sexual maturity, which is about two to three years.
When the baby kangaroo is born it is called A JOEY. It weighs less then 2 grams at birth and crawls up its mothers belly and into her pouch. It is so small that not even the mother can touch it all she can do is lick a path in her fur for it to travel along The baby stays attached to its mom for 9 months. After 9 months the joey will begin to leave the pouch for extended periods of time returning for a feed until it longer needs milk. Kangaroos are herbivorous, eating a lot of different plants, and in some cases fungi.
