It spends most of its time on the ground, but can hover in search of prey. It has better color vision then other owls. The Burrowing Owl has feathers on the head that resemble eyes, so a predator thinks twice before getting to close. Burrowing owls move into abandoned prairie dog holes, but are able to dig their own holes if necessary, which protects them from large predators. Some interesting facts about the Burrowing Owl are that they can make more then seventeen vocalizations, and when alarmed they can make a hissing sound that sound like a rattlesnake.
They are also brightly colored and have skin that can be damaged easily in the rainy season. Geckos can change the color of their skin. The peacock day gecko is a diurnal lizard. Tiny hooks on the bottoms of geckos feet let them run up walls. Active lizards such as peacock day geckos use their sight and speed to not get caught by their predators.They can hide under stones or in the ground when they are not active.The predators of the peacock day gecko are large birds like owls, snakes and other large animals.
Texas Pumas were released to breed with the Panthers. Also, as of 1981 there has been collar monitoring which monitors where the panthers territory is. Other smaller actions are to conserve their habitat by not cutting down trees, help with genetic management by stopping inbreeding, and improve roads to make them safer for the Panthers to travel on. They are top predators in the environment and they regulate the food chain. Without them, the food chain would be thrown off
The Crowned Solitary Eagle lives in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. It tends to live in open woodland. It preys principally on mammals, including armadillos, skunks, weasels, rodents and monkeys. It also hunts reptiles (principally snakes), fish, domestic lambs and occasionally birds, including tinamou and poultry. Its nest is large platform of sticks about 1.2 m across and 30 cm deep.
THE BATEK LIFE 1 The Batek of Malaysia By: Kris Kile ANT 101 Prof. Jeri Myers October 10th, 2011 The Batek of Malaysia The economy of the nomadic Batek is very complex, combining hunting, gathering, the collection and trade of forest products, and the occasional small-scale planting of crops. The Batek are foragers that are very forest oriented people as well as political. They live near the Lebir River in the state of Kelantan in Peninsular Malaysia (K. Endicott and K.L. Endicott 1987). The Batek people are hunter-gatherers hunting mostly monkeys and gibbons as well as fishers, and they gather mostly wild fruits, berries and honey.

Bio 100 Homework due 11/05/12 Name : Nicholas Oliveira Go to the website on cheetah conservation www.Cheetah.org and read the following sections under the tabs About Cheetahs: Intro, Genetic Diversity, & Race for Survival 1. Why are cheetahs endangered? Our attitudes and misconceptions about these species have led to their endangerment because many people deal with their fear by eliminating predators. 2. What are the 5 most common causes of extinction?
The Brown Tree snake is a native snake to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Melanesia. This snake is known to have a dark brown color and can grow up to 9 ft long a little above the average wild snake size. These snakes feed on birds, lizards, bats, small rodents, and occasionally other snakes. Due to the lack of natural predators in certain areas and an excessive amount of prey, the population of these snakes is bound to increase. They are commonly found in trees, caves, and the ground and near limestone cliffs.
Indiana Bat The Indiana Bat has been on the endangered species list for New Jersey for over 40 years. This bat species lives in various states of the Eastern US. They are small bats that hibernate in caves and abandoned mines in large numbers. According to US Fish and Wildlife Service, a fungal disease called White Nose Syndrome is one reason that these bats are on the New Jersey endangered species list. When they are not hibernating, they make shelter among trees and their habitat is destroyed when forests are cleared thus leading to their
Some hunters say that they can smell you from a mile away. Many hunters wear all kinds of cover scents while hunting, such as raccoon urine, fox urine, also buck and doe urine. Most hunters put the scent on their boots or on leaves around them. White-tailed deer are still a very shy and cautious animal. Running and sharp senses are their main defense (Zwaschka 11).
