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
Sowbugs are mostly vegetarian, but considered omnivores (The University of Arizona 1997). Found in many flower beds, flower pots, and greenhouses sowbugs are considered pest to many gardeners. But they happen to be very valuable because they are able to circulate soil without eating garden plants. As scavengers though, they also play a
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.
Their powerful teeth extend outside their lips. Naked mole rat lips can close behind their teeth, preventing dirt from entering the mouth. Naked mole rats can run just as fast backwards as they can forward. Naked mole rats are unable to maintain their body temperature, so they will huddle together to keep warm or lay in tunnels near the surface. Naked mole rats live in colonies led by a dominant rat which is the queen.
They have special teeth which allow them to get grass low to the gound and then grind it up. They can go long periods of time without water because they have the ability to get moisture from plants. Kangaroos do not hunt for food at all. There are perceived as a pest to farmers for doing damage to their fences and eating their crops. Because of this there are several thousand that are legally shot each year.
Justin Kreindler There are many design flaws that occurred in Jurassic Park, but some are more important than the others. In my opinion, the five major design flaws in Jurassic Park are that they had limited knowledge of dinosaurs and the environment they needed to live in, assumed that the dinosaurs couldn’t reproduce since they were all female, assumed that the dinosaurs wouldn’t try to adapt to the parks conditions, assumed the dinosaurs would act like zoo animals and be passive and docile, and, finally, they designed the security system of the park to only work if the main power grid is on. The most major of these flaws is the limited knowledge they had on dinosaurs. Before the dinosaurs were cloned, humans had limited knowledge on how dinosaurs interacted with each other and the environment. We did know, however, that they must be a highly adaptive species to be able to live on earth for over 100 million years.
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.
Jaguars are animals that rely on smaller animals for food and depend on the forest for their survival as in terms of habitat and survival of their prey. They also inhabit the higher mountains and do not disturb anything other than wild animals. Jaguars devour animals both small and large like the small rodents like rats, turtles, monkeys; deer’s and even the tapir. They are naturally made to live and control these types of animals that invade human livelihood. Nowadays these cute creatures have been unexpectedly declining in population because of the many challenges in which they have to adapt.
The Invasion of Guam by the Brown Tree Snake What is the Brown Tree Snake? The brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) is a member of the family Colubridae whose members are mostly harmless and nonvenomous. Despite being part of a family of nonvenomous snakes the brown tree snake is venomous. When the snake feels threatened it is known to be extremely aggressive by striking and biting repeatedly. 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.
Within 24 hours of their first blood meal, a flea can begin laying eggs. Their reproduction rate is so fast at about 40 to 50 eggs per day, for just one flea. They hide in the dog’s fur and make homes. Fleas are very hazardous towards its host’s health. They can cause serious discomfort to dogs and create diseases.
