In order to withstand cold temperatures, the diamondback rattle snake hibernates during the winter months in underground boroughs previously made by other animals as it does not have the ability to dig on its own (Glaudas, 2009). To protect it self from hot weather, the diamondback becomes nocturnal in the summer months and consumes its meals at night when the temperature becomes cooler. Therefore, it is most active during the spring and fall months when the weather is most ideal. The diamondback rattlesnake has the ability to slow its metabolic rate to reduce the amount of food, water and oxygen it needs to survive (Glaudas, 2009). The diamondback rattlesnake’s skin is also another example of how this organism has adapted to living in the Southwestern desert.
They also eat plants and fungi, making the omnivores. Meerkats are immune to certain kinds of venom, such as that of scorpions and snakes, unlike humans. Meerkats have bodies adapted to the hot, desert environment. They have black circles around their eyes to protect them from the hot, bright glare of the desert sun. Meerkats have amazing vision, and because of the black bands around their eyes, they are able to see a predator or prey looking directly into the sun.
These pests prefer to live in dark, wet places. During the day they can most likely be found under rocks, logs, foliage, or in trash. If they are exposed to sunlight for to long, they will most likely dry up and die. Pill bugs will huddle up together in order to retain moisture. When night falls, pill bugs venture out in search of food or a mate.
At night, when this remarkable animal is wide awake, they travel in zig-zag patterns while they hunt and defend their territory. The panthers usually tend to avoid one another unless mating. While this curious animal can swim, they only have a vision field of one hundred thirty degrees but they have excellent depth perception. If we do not protect this astounding animal now, it will soon become
The horsefly is the one that keeps most of the disease carrying bugs off the flapenguin. Without the horsefly, the flapenguin would get infected with the diseases because the horsefly is no longer around to keep the bugs off. Then there would be a few flapenguin in the
Amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates and small mammals are part of their diet too. Unfortunately, eating these organisms can sometimes put endangered and rare species at a greater risk. Corn, barley, wheat, seed, grain and oat crops are the main vegetation that they feed on. Figure 1 & 2 (last page) shows the extent of feral pigs impact on threatened species in 2008. Feral pigs usually stay close to water so they can drink regularly and to control their body temperature, as they are extremely susceptible to heat.
By blending themselves into their surroundings, they adequately use ambient resources provided by plants such as trees, flowers or grass. As a result, camouflage makes it possible that insects do not have to waste energy for struggling and time for fleeing so that they are able to use saved time to disguise themselves because they almost have no chance of running faster than their predators. Basically, insects resemble or imitate plants and become inedible to the predators with the help of camouflage. Stick insect is a good example to demonstrate this. They are quite famous for its camouflage.
Scorpions are nocturnal and fossorial, they find shelter during the day in a relatively cool place such as underground holes, and they come out at night to hunt and feed. They also have to avoid
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.
China happens to contain a total of 60% of the habitats compared to those areas. Snow Leopards prefer broken terrain of cliffs, rocky outcrops and ravines. These types of habitats provide good cover and a clear view to find prey. Invasive Species It’s not competing with any other invasive species at this point in time because these animals can eat animals up to two times their own size. However the Snow Leopard does compete with hunters who illegally hunt them for the selling’s of their organs.
