The largest Copperhead ever recorded was 53 inches in length. They have a pale brown to light tan body, often with a pinkish tint. Their yellow eyes have elliptical or cat-like pupils. Its body, covered with rough scales, is patterned with dark, hour glass-shaped cross bands; they start out wider and become more narrow towards the base. They prefer rocky woodlands but can be found almost anywhere.
These lice excrete partially digested blood which can appear as 'black dandruff'. Lice eggs, commonly referred to as nits, are whitish, oval and the size of a pinhead (1/30 inch long). They are attached to hair near the scalp. Nits that are found further than 1/2 inch from the scalp nearly always have hatched or died. Head lice live in very close association with humans, especially on young children.
This reflects the fact that amphibians are a large part of their diet. Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diets consist of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms, leeches, lizards, amphibians, ants, crickets, frog eggs, toads, minnows, and rodents. When living near water, they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake (Thamnophis sauritus) in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses.
It has several teeth but only the back two can inject venom, which is used to subdue and kill prey but is not considered to be dangerous to an adult human. The brown tree snake is native to Australia, several islands in northwestern Melanesia, and is the most common breed of snakes in Papua New Guinea. They average about 3 – 6 feet in length but have been recorded at lengths up to and exceeding 10 feet. Their bodies are long and slender which allows them to climb easily and to squeeze through narrow gaps. They vary in color depending on habitat but can range from light brown to yellow-green to beige with red splotches.
Introduction Although bug is in the name, sowbugs are not bugs at all but instead are called isopods (crustaceans) which are distantly related to shrimps, crab, crayfish, and other sea creators. Sowbugs are flat, oval creatures about 9/16’’ long and 5/16’’ wide. Their bodies are made up of several armor-like plates which resemble a miniature armadillo (Orkin LLC 2012). Unlike an armadillo though, sowbugs have seven pairs of legs, two pairs of antennae and two appendages on the end of their bodies that look like tails. Their color varies from dark gray to white with or without pattern (Colorado State University Extension 2012).
Newborn narwhals are gray-brown; the white spots come with age. At birth they are about 5 feet long and 180 pounds. Male narwhals can reach up to sixteen feet long, not including the “horn” which is eight to nine feet long, and weigh around 3,500 pounds. Females are around thirteen feet long, and generally don’t have tusks, though some females can grow small ones, but they aren’t as prominent as a males. They weigh around 2000-2,800 pounds.
The lightning whelk is actually an animal, and not a shell. The animal inside is a very dark color. They are found in the Gulf of Mexico and the Southeast coast of the US, ranging from South Carolina to Texas. They mostly eat oysters, clams, and scallops. Some of their predators are gulls, crabs, and other whelks.
It’s scientific name is Heloderma suspectum. The gila monster can be up to two feet (0.6 meters) and a maximum weight exceeding five pounds (2.3 kilograms They can be identified by their beautiful and color body which is black marked with pink, orange, and yellow spots. Usually their face is totally black. They are known as beaded lizards because they have small scales across their backs that look like tiny beads. Gila monsters are found in the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts of the southwestern US and northwestern Mexico.
For example, a healthy male that is 20 inches would weigh 49-55 pounds. The head is fine to not be heavy, while the eyes are neither small, round, nor hard in expression. The eyes are also set deep in their sockets. The ears however, are on the side of the skull, about eye level. The skull is to be medium length, broad, flat on top, and rounded on the sides and back.
Full grown, a cheetah may be up to seven feet in length, including a two and one-half foot tail. It weighs up to one-hundred-fifty pounds and is no more than three feet tall. This measurement is taken at the shoulder. This tawny creature has yellowish-colored fur. Its markings consist of solid black spots, which are spaced closely together covering most of the body, with the exceptions of the underside (which is white) and the tail (which has black rings).
