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. I am the owner of a 5 year old 100 pound Alaskan malamute named Mufasa. Today I will be speaking about their origin and appearance, temperament and a few health facts about the breed. The Alaskan malamute is a Nordic sled dog descended from the Arctic wolf. Its name comes from Mahlemuts, an Alaskan tribe that would raise and cared for them.
Some of these actions were unregulated hunting and government-sponsored poisoning. The only place you could find a Gray Wolf in the 1960s was small pockets in Minnesota and a few areas in Michigan. Traditionally, the Gray Wolf has dark fur around their eyes and along their backs. The rest of their body is covered in white fur, but they can also be all black or pure white to blend into the northern environment where the Grey Wolf has flourished. In the 1970’s, the Green Revolution was started and the endangered species list “ESL” was founded.
Their bill and feet are yellow. Their feet are unfeathered, and equipped with large, sharp talons for penetrating and grasping prey. The bald eagle is the only large black bird with a white head in North America. The female eagle can be determined because she is slightly larger than the male. The female eagle weight range can be from 10 to 14 pounds and the weight for the male is 8 to 9 pounds.
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.
“Teams of scientists who are adept on researching animal habitat have been dispatch to come to Alaska to study about their habitat, and how the TAP would disturb animal habitat by doing some intimation of the oil compressor when transporting the oil through the pipe line” (Jakimchuk) fact from disturbance studies of caribou and other mammals in the Yukon and Alaska, 1972 /K. H. McCourt, Alaskan Arctic Gas Study Company. The greatest population of animal in Alaska near the pipeline was the caribou. The TAP did some minor effect on the caribou path. The path of the caribou is little slightly off its original course but that didn’t really harm them, in addition to that, the effect only applies to two of the twelve populate caribou pack.
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.
In 1890 a Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, demonstrated ‘classical conditioning’ on dogs. In 1957, Laika, a dog, was the first living creature to be sent into outer space in the Soviets Sputnik 2. In 1996 the first mammal was cloned. All of these examples were significant achievements in the animal testing field, but along with these achievements came many controversies. Many argued that alternatives for testing products should be utilized.
The red panda, also known as the lesser panda, is one of the most interesting animals in the world. This mammal has reddish-brown fur and a long striped tail. An interesting fact about this animal is that it is the only species in their genus, Ailurus (except for their ancestors). Recent studies showed that the red panda's family is the Ailurus. Previous studies often thought this mammal was either in the Urisadae family, which consists of bears, or the Procyonidae family, which consists of raccons.The red panda's scientific name is Ailurus fulgens.Not only that, but this animal is also known by many names such as the Fire C, Bright Panda, Common Panda, and Sankam.
Homosepians of the 21st Century have grown fond of domestic dogs so much that, dogs are referred to as man’s best friend. According to Morey (1994), dogs are the evolutionary products of wolves, Canis Lupus. Clearly there are distinct differences in both organisms; physiologically, morphologically and behaviourally (Morey 1994, 338-345). In the article studied, Morey questioned the origin of domestication, whether or not it was an intentional act of humans such as breeding or whether self-domestication took place, without breeding selection by humans. Domestication is the ability of animals to interact with human beings without fear, adhere to the rules and reproduce under the new conditions (Belyaev 1979, 301).To understand the ubiquitous
The tail on every snow leopard is more than a yard long, and they do not roar like another other big cat. The usually age for a snow leopard is no older than 15 years old and they can leap horizontally about 45 feet in distance. Habitat Destruction Snow leopards live in the high rugged mountains of Central Asia while their habitat covers 2 million Km2 which is the approximate size of Greenland or Mexico. Their habitat extends through 12 different countries, Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. China happens to contain a total of 60% of the habitats compared to those areas.
