Spider Monkeys can be very dependent creatures as they depend on their mothers for about 10 weeks after their birth. They travel in groups of two to three dozen. “According to some scientists, the spider monkey is the most intelligent of the New World monkeys.” (1) There are two main reasons that some groups of Spider Monkeys are endangered. One is that the destruction of their habitat. (They live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America.)
Both the black and white rhino have two horns, the longer of which sits at the front of the nose. Size: The rhinoceros stands about 60 inches at the shoulder. Weight: Black Rhino: 1 to 1½ tons. White Rhino: over 2 tons. Habitat: Grassland and open savannahs.
Mother boars can have up to 2 liters per year sometimes ranging to 10 piglets. Typically, Mothers can be very dangerous when protecting their babies; fathers live off by themselves. After about 45 days, the babies can find their own food, but may still stay with the mother. When they are 4 - 6 months old, they turn a cinnamon brown color. At 1 year old, they are full-grown and have brown or black fur.
Eaglets grow rapidly because of the parents feeding the baby eagles a lot of food. A bald eagle nest can weigh up to almost 3 tons, and can be 20 feet deep and 10 feet long. Because of the fact that when some eagles leave a nest and others inhabit it, the tenets keep building onto the nest. It takes about 35 days for an eagle to hatch. Just because eagles are birds of prey, that doesn’t mean that they can’t become the prey.
Pill bugs are about ¾ of an inch, dark black or brown, and have seven sets of jointed legs. Their bodies are divided into seven segments, one for each pair of legs. They have an exoskeleton, which means their vertebra is located on the outside of their body. 2 large antenna are located on its head, in between the eyes. These pests prefer to live in dark, wet places.
Adults were about 26 feet (8 m) long, 18 feet (5.5 m) tall, and weighed about 17 - 18 tons (16 tonnes). The skull was 4.25 feet (1.3 m) long. This herbivore ate leaves and twigs from the tops of trees. Distribution Miocene
The short-nosed echidna lives on a diet of ants and termites. It moves slowly while nosing about for bugs, turning over rocks or tearing into termite hills. When the echidna finds a victim, it uses its long, sticky tongue to catch it. Long-nosed echidnas prefer to eat earthworms, which they pick up from the forest floor. Echidnas are usually active at night.
The ververt monkey prefers woodlands of all kinds, but favors woodlands adjacent to grassland. Ververts feed on all kinds of fruits, seeds, seedpods, leaves, buds, sap, flowers, herbs, and grasses. It will also eat things like lizards, birds eggs, and insects. The ververt monkey is considered a diurnal mammal. Usually active in the early morning and late afternoon, but activity peaks vary depending on factors such as: habitat, predation, abundance of food and water.
Arboreal means “living in trees”. Koalas live, eat, and sleep in the top branches of eucalyptus trees, also known as gum trees. Male koalas have a special area on their chest that leaves a scent. They rub their chests on their “home trees” to leave their scent and mark the trees as their own. Diet The main food that Koalas eat is eucalyptus leaves.
The giant panda, or panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, literally meaning "black and white cat-foot")[2] is a bear[3] native to central-western and south western China. [4] It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo. [5] Pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared feed.
