Tigers live alone and aggressively scent-mark large territories to keep their rivals away. They are powerful hunters that travel many miles to find prey, such as elk and wild boar, on nocturnal hunts. Tigers use their distinctive coats as camouflage (no two have exactly the same stripes) and hunt by stealth. They lie in wait and creep close enough to attack their victims with a quick spring and a fatal pounce. A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds (27 kilograms) in one night, though they usually eat less.
Their geographical range extends from the southwestern U.S (Southern Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) through Northern Argentina. Around ten coatis are thought to have formed a population in Cambria, UK. The coati’s life span is about seven to fourteen years in captivity. In the wild the life span is less, about seven to eight years. Coatis are considered carnivores by most scientists, though they eat vegetation and carrion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrion) as well, which would make them omnivores.
Females lay about 300 to 400 eggs per cocoon, and about four cocoon's every summer. The black widow spider is nocturnal, it hunts and moves about at night. It is a very dangerous spider. In fact its venom is 15 times more dangerous than that of a rattlesnake. It is an invertebrate animal belonging to the arachnid family, to the class of the arthropods.
Pileated Woodpecker According to Nature Works, The pileated woodpecker is about 15 inches in length and is one of the largest woodpeckers found in North America. It has a black body, a red crest, white stripes on its neck and black and white stripes on its face. It has yellow bristly feathers over its nostrils that keep out wood chips. The pileated woodpecker eats insects, fruits and nuts. A large part of its diet is made up of carpenter ants and beetle larvae.
In fact some farmers thought of them as rats that ate their crops. Tarsiers are sold as pets to people, and are pretty popular, since they sit calmly in your hand (their whole body, that’s how small they are!) When they are hunted by people and put into cages, to be sold, some Tarsiers commit suicide due to the captivity. The Philippine government put Tarsiers on the endangered species list. So there was no hunting of Tarsiers allowed anymore.
Facts: The Moon Bear eats bee hives, fruits, nuts, insects, & small animals like mice or birds. Moon Bears sleep in caves or in nests on tree branches. They are usually awake during the night but are usually very active at sunrise or sunset. Moon Bears can live up to 30 years in the wild, but on Bear farms many die at less than half of that, living only up until 10-12 years old. Why is the animal endangered?
They have rounded ears and a brown pointed snout. Their young are born naked with their ears and eyes closed. The newborn hedgehog’s spines are underneath their skin that sprouts 36 hours after birth. The hedgehog on average live from 3 to 8 years and when in captivity, they can live up to 10 years. To avoid the heat of the desert, the hedgehog sleeps during the day and is active during the night (nocturnal) During the hottest parts of the year the desert hedgehog will hibernate.
The Northern Spotted Owls are very territorial. They have large areas of the territory. They mostly feed on small rodents. The trees for their area must have holes, for nesting, and the trees must be high but open enough to fly through. Although, a lot of the forests are being cut down by timber companies.
The mothers care for their young for up to a year and often with another baby on their back. The spider monkey is threatened in the wild and is now considered to be an endangered species. Humans have been hunting them for years as a source of food. The Spider monkey is also agitated by human contact. They also have bigger jungle animals like jaguars and crocodiles coming after them.
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.
