The Sugar Glider The sugar glider, or more commonly known as the “Pocket Pet”, is normally described as a squirrel-like omnivore but has a more of a lemur-ish face. They are from Australia and have become popular pets worldwide because of how well they bond with humans. When born, they are as big as your thumb. When they are full grown they are 6 inches long with a tail that is literally 6 inches long. (So a foot in all).
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.
It will roll into a ball so that its stiff spines are protecting itself. The hedgehog has very poor eyesight. This was surprising for me because it would need could eyesight to be active at night. Instead of its eyes, they use their ears and sense of smell. Hedgehogs are immune to toxins so they are able to eat beetles, wasps, and some venomous
People are not usually threatened by spiders. About 15 species are dangerous, but bites that end in death are not common. The silk that the black widow spider spins for its web is very strong. The threads of the web are in a crisscross pattern which makes it a very deadly landing for any insect. The spider is waiting in the center of the web when an insect lands on the web.
They also have bigger jungle animals like jaguars and crocodiles coming after them. Another threat to their life is the logging and deforestation which continues to shrink the areas in which they live in. There are many people who like to capture the Spider monkey and keep them as
Howler monkeys range in size from 56 to 92cm, and have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. These monkeys usually live in groups of about 18 other monkeys. Only one of the monkeys in the group is male and mates with the rest of the females in the group. They are large, stocky, and covered in thick black, reddish, or olive brown fur. Some species have "saddles" of light brown or golden.fur across their shoulders and backs.
James discovers that there is a tunnel in the peach. He crawls in and finds an earthworm, a grasshopper, a spider, a ladybug, and a silkworm. Each of these creatures is quite large, but James soon comes to realize that they are friendly, and won’t harm him. The creatures all want to get away from the property of the two greedy aunts. Therefore, the centipede bites through the stem of the peach which was attached to the tree.
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. Primarily omnivores, coatis usually look for fruit. Coatis eat palms, eggs, beetles, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, termites, lizards, small mammals, and rodents. The predators of the coati are other carnivores. Enemies include jaguarondis, foxes, dogs, ocelots, and jaguars.
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.
Aly Pulford, Summer 2011 Trichogramma Wasps: Fighters of garden foes Beneficial Insects Insects are not the most glamorous of all animals on earth, and often receive disgust from their fellow earth habitants: humans. But there are some six-legged creatures that deserve praise for their predatory skills that not only keep their species alive, but benefit farming and gardening humans all over the earth. One of these beneficial insects is the trichogramma wasp. The trichogramma wasp, a member of the especially diverse hymenoptera order, measures only 0.18mm in length as an adult, has a narrow abdomen, short antennae and red colored eyes. This wasp has two pairs of wings and an ovipositor on the female.
