When it reproduces, it generally has only two generations per year. Also, of those generations there are typically between 50 and 300 eggs produced on the underside of the branches. The balsam woolly adelgid is a very small invasive sucking insect that you can find in coniferous forests. It is
[6] In the wild, Burmese pythons grow to 3.7 metres (12 ft) on average,[3][4] while specimens of more than 4 metres (13 ft) are uncommon. [7][8] In general, individuals over 5 metres are rare. [7] The record maximum length for Burmese Pythons is held by a female named “Baby”, that lived at Serpent Safari, Gurnee, Illinois, for 27 years. Shortly after death, her actual length was determined to be 5.74 metres (18 ft 10 in). Widely published data of specimens that were reported to have been even several feet longer are not verified.

The tarantula can get up to the size of a plate. Most people think that a tarantula’s color is brown and dull, but some in fact very brightly colored. They are typically red, orange, or yellow. Tarantula’s life span differs between a male and a female. The male’s average life span is around ten years, while the female on the other hand can live up to 25 years.
Over the years many of the state’s deposits have produced mass numbers of turquoise. In the better grade materials, the color varies from a pale to a dark blue, poorer grade materials are greenish-blue and green in color. Some of the material has yellow-brown limonite spider webbing. A lot of this turquoise when extracted usually takes lots of polishing to bring out the great blue colors. New Mexico was at one point the leading producer of turquoise in the United States until Arizona and Nevada took the lead.
Salvia divinorum Salvia divinorum is a hallucinogenic plant that is native to northeastern Sierra Mazateca mountain region of Mexico. Although this is the only place known that grows this herb naturally, salvia is cultivated in some areas in the United States. Salvia divinorum is a perennial herb in the mint family and it is one of five hundred species of Salvia. This plant is cultivated in large groups and grows well over 3 feet in height. Some of its characteristics are that it has large green leaves, hollow square stems, and white flowers with purple calyces, which similarly characterizes the sage plant.
It is 4 meters deep, 2.5 meters wide and 1 ton in weight. In that nest the bald eagles lays eggs once a year or less but only 1-4 eggs at a time. The eggs are all white. The bald eagle can live up to thirty years, but even longer when it is in captivity because when their in the wild people wreck them and they get sick by D.D.T. It is illegal now though to hunt or use D.D.T.
Giraffes eat a lot too; up to as much as 66 pounds a day. Surprisingly, giraffes are rarely seen drinking because they receive most of their water through the consumption of acacia tree leaves. A giraffe uses its tongue to pluck leaves of branches, among other things. Like humans, giraffes have 32 teeth, except with one difference. In the top row where our teeth are usually located, giraffes have a bony ridge instead.
For hundreds of years hemp was used for sails, canvas, rope, and clothing. Even Christopher Columbus’s ship that sailed to America was largely built with hemp. The clothing produced from hemp has been known as some of the most durable and most comfortable. Compared to cotton, a well-known producer of clothing, hemp requires considerably less time to harvest, does not require pesticide, and produces two-hundred and fifty percent more fibers per acre. In fact, it is hard to find a reason why cotton should be used over hemp at all.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MANGROVES Most stands of mangrove forest are relatively small, measuring less than 20 hectares. One potential reason for controlled growth of mangrove stands was identified in a 2000 study which found that a high density of propagules within an area leads to increased predation by herbivores. Despite this, red mangrove forests in Hawaii tend
