The Arctic wolves are the prey of the Grey wolf and coyotes. The Artic Wolf’s behaviour is very headstrong and bold. They can endure the Arctic weather conditions with the help of their deeply insulated pale white fur. They are capable of surviving for years in sub-zero temperatures and for five months, each year, they live in pitch darkness. Arctic Wolves travel in approximately 20 wolves per pack and each pack deliberately tries to avoid other packs.
Why are polar bears endangered? The polar bear or Ursus Maritimus (sea bear) is the biggest animal in the bear family. The average adult male can weigh between seven hundred to fourteen hundred pounds. An adult female can weigh between three hundred to six hundred sixty pounds. The bear lives in the Northern Hemisphere in the Artic regions of the North America.
Polar Bear Polar bears live only in the northern Arctic where they spend most of their time on ice floes. They are the largest land meat-eater in the world and the largest of the bear family. They are well suited to the cold Arctic ice and snow. Characteristics and Physical Features of the Polar Bear Identification: Height: Average adult male 8.5 ft. (2.6 m) Average adult female 6.5 ft. (2 m) Weight: Average adult male 900 lbs. Average adult female 500 lbs.
Snow Leopards The snow leopard is its originally name but scientifically it goes by Uncia Uncia. Most snow leopards are found in Tundra habitat and they diet on heavily footed animals. Unfortunately Snow Leopards are endangered species and there is only 4500-7500 left. There are several interesting facts about snow leopards. The tail on every snow leopard is more than a yard long, and they do not roar like another other big cat.
The first people of the Arctic, hunted walrus and eat dogs when they went hungry, they also hunter caribou and fish in small groups. The Inuit followed the wales, seals and caribou. The technology was a great difference between the native groups. The people of Atlantic Canada for example constructed fish traps, made bows and arrows, they also made spears, clubs and long stemmed pipes. They made birchbark canoes, show shoes and the unique technology of the toggle head spear.
What is the largest and oldest of the Arctic sled dogs? Who are known as the gentle giants of Alaska? What breed is known as one of the biggest shedders among dogs and can also can survive in temperatures of about 70 degrees below zero? The answer is Alaskan malamutes. The importance of learning about this breed is because they are very similar and commonly mistaken for other arctic breeds such as the Samoyed, Canadian Eskimo Dog, Akita, Chow Chow and the Siberian husky.
Cave Lion 5. Chalicotherium The cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea) was probably the biggest lion that ever lived. It was 25 percent bigger than lions today and was up to about 11.5 ft (3.5 m) long. was an early, herbivorous mammal from the Miocene. This forest browser was an ungulate with large, clawed feet (instead of hooves).
Where: Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve. Why: People that it involves need to be informed on the breeding of sled dogs. Topic: Discovery that Grey seals hunt smaller seals and porpoises. Who: This impacts biologist's original theory that grey seals only hunt small fish. What: Grey seals are hunting bigger prey, forensic studies have implicated that grey seals have been killing smaller seals and porpoises, biologist studies of grey seals habitat will change.
She is an Arctic Polar Bear, rescued from drowning by a research vessel headed back to the main land, is about 4 years old and weighs about 500 pounds. We hope that we can get her to put on more weight before releasing her back into her natural habitat” the guide said. “Why did she need to be saved from drowning?” asked a child, “she is a good swimmer.” “Well, she was swimming a very long way to find another place to hunt for her favorite food, the seals and sea lions. These animals have to have great areas of ice that they live on, so when the ice was not enough for the seals and sea lions, they had to move to find a place where they could live. When the other animals left, Connie had to follow them.
Due to the actions of man the packed ice that serves as the key part of the polar bear’s existence is being melted away which could leave the great white bear literally out to sea. The World Conservation Union came to the conclusion that polar bear should now be considered a vulnerable species due to an expected 30 percent decrease in polar bear populations over the next 40-50
