The tail is used in almost every move they make, climbing trees, grasping branches, balancing and even protecting themselves from predators. (PIN) I really noticed how much they value their tails, as I observed them at the Los Angeles zoo, Their tails are very unique and are not found in any old world monkeys. Hey have long fingers which resemble hooks are used to exactly as that, they hook and grip branches. The cool thing about the spider monkey is that they have little to no thumbs. Nature has selected out the thumb in order for the spider monkey to swing through trees since they are closely 100% arboreal as well as 100% quadrapedal.
It’s been recorded that a researcher found a nest that weighed two tons. The many fascinating things about eagles are plentiful; they can fly to an altitude of 10, 000 feet and reach high speeds of 30 to 35 mph. Eagles soar above the storm clouds. The eagle can dive at speeds over 100 mph. I have also realized in my reading and researching that the eagle can actually swim.
After connecting both corners to their opposite, you get 4 right triangles. That’s a lot of geometry right there. Kites can teach a lot more than you think . When I built my kite, I made it into a diamond, where the bottom 2 sides were longer than the top 2 sides. It was in the design of a baseball field, not too big but not too small either.
Fruit bat wings are quite large but they don't have feathers. Instead they have very long webbed fingers that serve as wings. Their wings are very useful to them and on hot days they can fan themselves. Fruit bats are nocturnal and so they hve a good sense of smell and sight for flying at night. There are about sixty-five species of bats in Australia and eight species of fruit bats.
These SPINES were probably embedded in a thick ridge of muscle. Acrocanthosaurus is the only known American dinosaur with such high spines. It is known from a skull and most of a skeleton found in Oklahoma and Texas. A recent flood in Texas uncovered some footprints that scientists think were made by Acrocanthosaurus. AcrocanthosaurusFOSSILS have been found in similar rock hearby.
The setting then changes to the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs were alive. While in this time, they find lots of dinosaurs, some nice, some not so nice. Annie feeds flowers to one, after stumbling upon its nest and Jack gets chased by another, very mean dinosaur, called a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Annie found dinosaur nests and Jack found a gold medallion. After running from the T Rex, they went back to the tree house and “wished” they were home.
They are also diurnal. Gila monsters lay 2 to 13 eggs and they mate in the spring but don’t lay them until summer. The mother doesn’t stay home with her babies.The gila monster’s prey is small birds and animals, mice, insects and eggs. Gila monsters are the only poisonous lizard in America. If you annoy gila monsters they grab you and not do let go.
Introduction Have you ever wondered where we come from? Anthropologists have made many discoveries in the past few decades that have increased our knowledge as to who our ancestors are and how humans evolved. “Lucy” who was discovered in 1974. Anthropologists have discovered fossil remains of an ancestor older than Lucy; a female named Ardipithecus, or Ardi for short, who possesses human and ape-like qualities. Ardi proved that bipedalism, or walking upright on two feet, existed half a million years before previously thought * Thesis: The main features of Ardi that helped shed light on these discoveries were from close examinations of Ardi’s skull, pelvis and limbs, and her teeth.
The M16 machine gun was introduced as well and proved to be useful in its firepower of almost 1,000 rounds per minute, durability through harsh weather conditions and a light weight frame. The introduction of mines aided in sealing perimeters from enemies for night encampments while walkie-talkies enabled troops to maintain conversation-like contact while standing many yards away from one another. However, the invention of nuclear missiles changed the worlds approach to war forever. At this day in age, the advancements made in military technology are far beyond the minds of any regular person. The US military now has in its possession, nuclear missiles able to explode countries to bits and pieces.
Perhaps one of the most interesting features of the great hammerhead shark would in fact, be its rectangular hammer-shaped head. What this is used for is actually quite interesting. It gives the hammerhead an additional sense, allowing it to detect electrical signals of half a billionth of a volt. This is an incredibly useful advantage when the great hammerhead is seeking prey. They can find prey much more easily because of this, and because of their increased buoyancy.
