Their brain size can be compared to a size of a walnut. They walked on four legs, but the back legs were twice as long as its front legs. A Stegosaurus was up to 26-30 feet long, about 9 feet tall and weighed about 6,800 pounds. Its head was carried close to the ground, probably no more than 3 feet high. Stegosauruses had 17 bony plates that were embedded in its back.
The cheetah, also known as Acinonyx jubatus in the scientific world, is one of the most speedy, agile, and fiesty animals on land. It is the oldest feline out of the thirty seven different species of cats, originating over four million years ago. With the start of the last Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years ago, all the cheetah in North America, Europe, and most of those in Asia and Africa perished. Fossils have been discovered in what is now Nevada, Wyoming, and Texas. From those that did survive this epic Ice Age, and from evolution of closely related animals, descended the cheetah that we recognize today.
Windsor Island Pollen peeper 1. Explain what happens to the species over time In the 5 million years of the Pollen peeper, there a few changes to the species. 5 million years ago, the bird ate seeds, insects and flowers. 4 million years ago, the bird hasn’t changed and it still the same 3 million years ago, the bird still hasn’t changed and remains the same 2 million years ago, the bird has not changed and remains the same 1 million years ago, the bird’s beak has changed and not takes a longer and pointier shape. The bird is also eating less seeds than it has been before.
Some animals, like the elephant, take 16 years to reach full maturity. The loss of time, money, food, and labor would not be worth trying to domesticate an elephant. I would also want them to know that out of all the animals in the world only five have became farmyard animals. Those five are the sheep, the pig, the horse, the goat, and the great cow. The cow is one of the great wonders of our earth.
Giraffes also have large hearts. Their hearts can be up to 2 feet long and weigh over 20 pounds. They need these large hearts to pump blood all the way up their long necks. Although giraffes look ungainly, they are actually fairly agile and can run as fast as 30 miles per hour. Giraffes will fight if they have to, but will usually just try to outrun a predator.
In this new environment they found it more efficient to move about on two legs. It is this simple act of walking on two legs that enables us to attain new skills that will eventually change human life forever. Two million years ago existed two species of hominids, Paranthropus boisei and Homo habilis who both come from the same species but lead very different ape-man lives. The boisei have adapted so well in their environment, specializing in eating tough vegetation and the use of found objects as tools to eat termites, the first source of protein hominids ate. On the other hand, the habilis’ need for food led them to make tools used for hunting, another step towards the evolution of man.
Tswa, Twa and Mbuti are three groups of pygmies. The other tribes are highly intermixed with other cultures they are called Pygmoids.You can find Mbuti people in Ituri forest. This area has high amounts of rainfall throughout the year. They (Mbuti) have short dry seasons throughout the year. Mbuti are the only true Pygmy tribes.
Ponies were historically used for driving and freight transport, as children's mounts, for recreational riding, and later as competitors and performers in their own right. During the Industrial Revolution, particularly in Great Britain, a significant number were used as pit ponies, hauling loads of coal in the mines. Ponies are generally considered intelligent and friendly, though sometimes they also are described as stubborn or cunning. Properly trained ponies are appropriate mounts for children who are learning to ride. Larger ponies can be ridden by adults, as ponies are usually strong for their size.
Their tail measures over half the length of the body. The average weight of a female cheetah is 90 to 110 pounds, whereas a male cheetah weighs anywhere from 110 to 140 pounds. The cheetah’s height from the shoulders is about 73 to 90cm high. The male cheetahs are usually always bigger than the females. Cheetahs thrive for areas with vast expanses of land, warm weather, and abundant prey.
Koalas have a very unusual diet that could kill other animals and are very tiny. Habitat Where do koalas live?. They inhabit Queensland and New Whales which are states in the Eastern part of Australia. They live in woodlands in Eucalyptus trees, and live and eat only from these trees. The number of koalas is determined by the number of trees.
