Siberian Tiger

 

  

The Life of Animals | Siberian Tiger | The Siberian Tiger is rusty reddish or rusty yellow, with narrow black stripes. The body length is not less than 150 cm (59 inches), condylobasal skull length 250 mm (9.8 inches), zygomatic width 180 mm (7.1 inches) and length of upper carnassial tooth more than 26 mm (1.0 inches ) long. It is generally 5-10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 inches) larger than the Bengal tiger, which is about 107-110 cm (42-43 inches) high. According to modern research of wild Siberian tigers in the Sikhote-Alin, an adult male on average over 35 months old with a weight of 176.4 kg (389 lb), the average asymptotic limit 222.3 kilograms (490 pounds) is, an adult tigress weighs 117.9 kg (260 lb). The average weight of historical Siberian tigers is expected to be higher: 215.3 kg (475 pounds) for males and 137.5 kg tiger (303 pounds) for women in May 2011 with a weight of a male named "Banzai" 207 kg (460 lb ) was the radio-collar. This individual is heavier, but smaller than a male previously fitted with radio collars. Propose measures more than 50 people trapped, taken that the body size is similar to that of Bengal tigers.

The length of the tail in adult males is about 1 meter (39 inches). In some cases, the Siberian tigers in captivity reached a weight of up to (1.030 pounds) to 465 kg, as the Tiger "Jaipur" The spatial extent of the Amur tiger in Russia's Far East, stretching from south to north for about 1000 km (620 miles) along the entire length of the Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in the south east and south of the river Amur. Key habitat for the Amur tiger is the deciduous forests of Korean pine with a complex composition and structure. The complex of ungulates is represented by red deer, wild boar, sika deer, roe deer, moose Manchuria, musk and Ghoral. The number of Amur tiger in China is estimated to be 18-22. About 90% of the population in the mountainous region of Sikhote Alin An unknown number of Tiger Reserve in the areas around Baekdu survive mountains, based on take-off and landing runways and local observations.

Siberian tigers are known to travel up to 1,000 km (620 miles), a distance which marks the boundary of the land exchange by continuous ecologically made In 1992 and 1993 the population density maximum total population of tigers in Sikhote-Alin 0.62 people in 100 km2 (39 sq km) was estimated. Between January 1992 and November 1994 11 tigers were captured, radio-collared and tracked for 15 months in the eastern slopes of the mountains of Sikhote-Alin. Distribution of wild boar was not so much to predict the distribution of the tiger. Although they attack both the Siberian roe deer and Sika, this overlap is small ungulates were with tigers. Distribution of the moose was wrong with the distribution of the tiger. The distribution of preferred habitat of the prey is a key indicator of the precise distribution of the tiger.

In 2004, dramatic changes in land tenure, density and reproduction in the central area of the Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik Siberian Tiger Project have demonstrated what can on that, if the Tigers well against the mortality of people protected during an extended period, the adult female densities increase dramatically.  Siberian tigers reach sexual maturity at age four. Unlike the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger is rarely a man-eater. Siberian tigers have been in the past rarely dangerous unless provoked, although in the lower Syr Darya, a tiger and woman collecting wood and killed an unarmed military officer during the period from June, while going through the thicket of reeds. The attacks against the shepherds were recorded in the lower reaches of the Ili.

In the year 1867 have killed the river Tsymukha, Tiger 21 people and injured six others. China's Jilin Province have attacked Tiger woodcutter and coachman, and sometimes enter cabins and pull on adults and children Killed, according to the Bureau of the Japanese police in Korea, a tiger a man, while leopards killed three wild boars and wolves, four 48 in 1928 were only six cases in Russia of the 20 attacks Century recorded unprovoked leading to man-eating behavior. Provoked attacks are frequent, but usually to capture the result of failed attempts In December 1997, intervened Amur tiger wounded, killed and eaten two people. Both attacks occurred in the Bikin valley. The anti-poaching task force investigating two deaths Inspection Tiger hunted and killed the tiger. In January 2002 a man was attacked by a Siberian tiger on a mountain road near Hunchun in Jilin Province, China, near the borders with Russia and North Korea. An examination of the scene of the attack showed that the deer was first made by man unaffected by the tiger. Soon the tiger has been shown to stroll slowly past them. Attacked about an hour after this meeting, the tiger and killed a 26-year-old woman on the same street. Until then, the tiger was found lying at 20 meters, low and barely alive. Despite the extensive surgery by a team of veterinarians, the tiger died of wound infections. The zoo subsequently erected a large fence topped by an electric fence. In January 2011, seized a Siberian tiger killed a bus driver and the tour of a farm in the northern province of Heilongjiang, China.

Malayan Tiger

  

The Life of Animals | Malayan Tiger | There is no clear difference between Malaysia and the Indochinese tiger when samples of the two regions are compared cranial or coat. Malaysian Tigers appear to be smaller than the Indians. Length of the body taken from 16 women tigers in the state of Trengganu varied from 70 to 103 in (180-260 cm) and the average of 80.1 inches (203 cm). The geographical distribution between Malaysia and Indochina tigers is not clear how the tiger populations in northern Malaysia are contiguous with those in southern Thailand. The total potential habitat of 66 211 km2 tiger was (25564 km ²), which consisted of 37 674 km2 (14,546 square miles) of confirmed cases of tiger habitat, 11,655 km2 (4,500 square miles) of tiger habitat and expected 16,882 km2 (6518 km ²) tiger habitat as possible.

Malayan tigers prey on sambar deer, barking deer, wild boar, bearded pigs in Borneo and Serow. Tigers in Taman Negara also attack sun bears and elephants. Tigers occur at very low densities 1.1-1.98 tigers per 100 square miles in the woods as a result of the low density fixed to maintain viable populations of at least six tiger breeding females, the reservation must be more 1000 square miles. Information on food preferences, morphological measurements, demographic parameters, social structure, communication, range sizes, dispersability are missing.

When the tiger of Malaysia was accepted as a subspecies of the tiger family, the news was warmly received in Malaysia. However, there was brief discussion about the scientific name of the Tiger of Malaysia. The formal description of the subspecies called his name Panthera tigris jacksoni in honor of tiger expert Peter Jackson. In Malaysia, so the Tiger of Malaysia is known as Panthera tigris malayensis. The Tiger of Malaysia is the national animal of Malaysia. A tiger is represented in the arms of Malaysia, representing the government, and appears in heraldry various types of institutions such as Malaysia Royal Malaysian Police, Maybank, Proton and the Football Association of Malaysia. The tiger has been given several nicknames by Malaysians, including "Pak Belang", which literally means "Uncle Stripes." The Tiger Malaysia was made in the Special Service Group insignia.

Indochinese Tiger

  

The Life of Animals | Indochinese Tiger | Male Indochina tigers as 2.55 to 2.85 meters (8.37 to 9.35 m) long, weighing 150-195 kg (330-430 pounds) as measured between the skull 319-365 mm (13-14 inches) in length. Large individuals can weigh over 250 kg (550 pounds). Female Indochinese tigers as 2.30 to 2.55 m (7.55 to 8.37 feet) in length, weight 100-130 kg (221-287 pounds) with a length of 275-311 mm skull (11 12). The average female Indochinese tiger is approximately 2.44 m (8 ft) long and weighs about 115 kg (253 pounds). Indochinese tigers live in secluded forests in hilly to mountainous terrain, most of which lies along the borders between countries. Indochinese tigers prey primarily ungulates of medium and large enterprises. Sambar deer, wild boar, and cattle Serow large gaur and banteng and youth constitute the majority of the diet of the tiger in Indochina.

small prey itself is just enough to satisfy the energy needs of a large carnivore such as the tiger, and is enough to play Tiger. This factor, combined with poaching for Tiger Direct traditional Chinese medicine, is the main factor in the collapse of the Indochinese tiger throughout its range. According to government estimates of national populations of tiger, the subspecies population numbers around a total of 350 individuals All existing populations are at extreme risk reduction hunting of prey due to illegal hunting of wild pigs, deer and habitat fragmentation and inbreeding. Tiger numbers will be difficult to increase unless the residents can see a live tiger as more valuable than a dead man.

Bali Tiger

  

The Life of Animals | Bali Tiger | The Bali tiger was the youngest of the nine subspecies of tiger, and not comparable with the size of the leopard or panther. Bali tigers had short hair, the orange has been deep, dark and had a smaller number of lines compared to other sub-species of tiger. Bali tigers also had unusual rod-like structures on the head. Bali tiger had an average gestation period of 14-15 weeks. This split the tigers into two groups, which then develops is independent, the second option, the Tigers swam from one island to another to colonize. The road from Bali is located only 2.4 miles wide, making it good in the buoyancy of the Tiger Media. One of the most comprehensive document left by the Hungarian baron Oszkár Vojnic was the Balinese people trapped, hunted and took photos of a tiger. Surabayan gunsmith E. Munaut is confirmed to have killed more than 20 tigers of Bali in a few years. The last confirmed sighting of the tiger was a grown woman, killed 27th September 1937, at Sumbar Kima, in the western part of Bali.

The British Museum in London is the largest collection, with two cups and three skulls belong to the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Natural History Museum in Stuttgart, Naturalis in Leiden Museum and the Zoological Museum at Bogor, Indonesia, the remains of the last known Balinese keeps Tigers . Unlike deer hunting, they have learned very little, if any, Balinese Tiger Hunting embraced before the arrival of Europeans on the island because of tigers as evil, dangerous creatures have been seen. Nevertheless, Tigers had a well-defined position in the folk belief and magic. For example, when the Balinese the bottom of the tiger's whiskers, a powerful, undetectable poison for your enemy to mention be in the same book this, Miguel Covarrubias, the "Island of the Gods", 1937, when a child is born Balinese, got a protective amulet necklace of black coral and "tooth of a tiger or a piece of tiger bones.

As in other Asian countries, the people of Bali tiger parts like wearing jewelry than for the state or for spiritual reasons, such as power and protection. Necklaces of teeth and claws or rings male cabochoned polished ivory teeth of the tiger are still in daily use. Disappeared since Tiger is near Bali and Java were old or recycled parts of Leopard and Sun Bear body parts were used instead. One of the traditional Balinese dance, the Barong, even in one of four forms, a guy named Tiger Barong (Barong Macan).

Bengal Tiger

 

  

The Life of Animals | Bengal Tiger | The coat of the Bengal tiger is light orange yellow, striped with dark brown to black, the belly is white and the inner member, and the tail is orange rings with blacks. Male Bengal tigers have a total length, including the tail, from 270 to 310 centimeters (110 to 120), while the females range from 240 to 265 cm (94 to 104). The average weight of males is 221.2 kg (488 lb), while that of females was 139.7 kg (308 lb). The men captured in the Chitwan National Park in 1970 had an average weight of 235 kg (520 lb) 200 to 261 kg (440-580 lb), and the females was 140 kg (310 lb) from 116 to 164 kg (260-360 lb). The men of North India are as big as the Siberian tiger with a skull length 332-376 mm higher (13.1 inches to 14.8). The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger, which was reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially the old state of Rewa. There is a case of a real tiger albino duly authenticated, and none of the Black Tigers, with the possible exception of a dead specimen examined in Chittagong in 1846. Bengal tigers are defined by three distinct mitochondrial nucleotide sites and 12 unique microsatellite alleles.

Chinese Fire Belly Newt

  
The Life of Animals | Chinese Fire Belly Newt | In AD 1008 years, a Chinese author mentioned that a small black salamander was found in aquatic weeds in pools on the prairie Mou. For animals that survive the transportation, mortality rates are very high given the poor cattle in pet stores or the ultimate owner. If the animals in captivity can not be found, make sure to buy an animal in good condition. Open wounds, missing limbs, fungi and animals too thin to be passed over, or even seemingly healthy individuals if the newts deaths are in the tank. While many people buy sick animals, out of pity or with intent to breastfeed return to health, the purchase of these animals simply encourages poor care on behalf of the owner of the pet. Orientalis Cynops better in a tank not heated to temperatures between 58-68 ° F (14-20 ° C). Temperatures above 74 ° F typically result in high levels of stress or death. The failure of newts to enter the water can be a sign of stress, poor water quality, or other health problems. Typically, five gallons of aquarium animals is ideal, but the smaller tanks may have water quality problems.

Including live plants in the aquarium can help maintain healthy water quality, providing coverage for pregnant newts and more attractive. Animals mixture of other amphibian or fish or other, with C. orientalis is discouraged Other animals can be aggressive, disease-carrying foreign, have different requirements for housing, and may eat or be eaten by the newts. Firebelly toads (Bombina orientalis), newts Paddletail (Pachytriton spp.), Crabs and various fish are often poorly maintained together in pet shops. Moreover, several toxins newts can be fatal to other species. Few species of fish from cold water fish like small white clouds are generally considered acceptable as cohabitants of C. orientalis, but they can still carry diseases, parasites or be eaten by newts hungry.

 

Newts in captivity can eat chips or dried foods, although some animals may refuse it. Foods that are easily taken may include bloodworms are the larvae of chironomids, worms, water fleas, such as Daphnia, Artemia adults Blackworms or mosquito larvae. Newts can also eat tadpoles and small fish, but these foods have a higher risk of transmitting diseases and parasites, are wild caught. Aquatic plants and layers of plastic strips (thin strips of clear plastic garbage bag tied to a rock or other heavy object) works fine, and plastic strips may be preferable to living plants. The eggs are deposited or placed in plastic plants, with some eggs laid each day.

Chaco Horned Frog

 

 

The Life of Animals | Chaco Horned Frog | Cranwell of horned frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli), also known as the Chaco horned frog, a frog is endemic to dry land of the Gran Chaco in Argentina. Like most members of Ceratophrys generally, are often considered Pacman frogs because of their resemblance to the popular video game character of the same name. The backs of these frogs are usually dark green and brown coloration, although albino variants with orange and yellow back even exist. The model allows to camouflage dark color as the animal burrows and waits for its prey.  In the case of extreme temperatures, Cranwell frogs enter a period of aestivation, the development of a thick protective layer of the skin to retain moisture and aid in breathing. When estivation is complete, the frog uses its front legs and rear to help remove the protective layer. In many cases, the frog uses the jaws to pull the skin on the back, often eat the skin in the process.

Cane Toad

 

  

The Life of Animals | Cane Toad | A huge cane toad women more than men reach an average length of 10-15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in). Held "Prinsen", a toad as a pet in Sweden are listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest recorded pattern. Individual cane toads can be gray, yellowish, reddish brown or olive brown, with various patterns. Juvenile toads cane is much smaller than adult cane toads 5-10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 inches) long. Tadpoles in the range of 10 to 25 mm (0.39 to 0.98 inches) long. The title "Marine Toad" and the scientific name Bufo marinus suggest an association with marine life, and adult toads cane entirely terrestrial, just dare to breed in fresh water. While the growth rate varies by region, season and sex, and train train find average initial growth rate of 0.647 mm (0.0255 inch) per day, and then averaged 0.373 mm (0.0147 inch) per day. The growth is slowing is usually only toads sexual maturity, the rapid growth of their survival during metamorphosis and sub-adult, losing young toads to their toxicity, which protects them, such as eggs and tadpoles, but not yet fully developed parotoid glands much produce bufotoxin the Because they do not have this key, it is assumed that only 0.5% of the cane toads in adulthood

As in the growth rate varies, the point at which the frogs become sexually mature in different regions. In New Guinea, the sexual maturity of the female toads snoutvent length of 70 to 80 mm (2.8 and 3.1), while the toads reach maturity in Panama, when they are between 90 and 100 mm (3.5 and 3.9 inches in) long. Cane toad has a high resistance to water loss, a study showed that some of them can resist the 52.6% loss of body fluid that they can survive outside the tropical conditions. Adult skin is poisonous cane toads, as well as an enlarged parotoid glands behind the eyes and other glands on their backs. When the toads are endangered, glands, milky-white liquid bufotoxin known. Bufotoxin components are toxic to many animals, there were even human sacrifice in connection with the consumption of cane toads. Bufotenine, a chemical substance secreted by cane toad is classified as a Class 1 drug under Australian law, along with heroin and cannabis. It is assumed that the effect of including similar to a light bufotenine poisoning stimulation, mild hallucinations, takes less than an hour as a cane toad bufotenine allocated in small amounts, and other toxins in relatively large quantities, could lick toad in serious illness or death is run.

In addition to the production of a toxin capable of cane toad inflating its lungs, puffing, lifting his body off the ground it more and more of a potential predator Toxic toads sausages with meat are currently trying in the Kimberley (Western Australia) to, to protect domestic animals from the lethal effects of cane toads tested. Mixing bits of toad cause nausea chemical, bait animals trained to stay away from amphibians. Many species prey on cane toad in their homeland. Predators outside the natural range of the cane toad include Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus) Rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster), black rat (Rattus Rattus) and the Water Resources Act (Varanus Salvator).

There have been occasional reports of Tony Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) and Papuan Frogmouth (Podargus papuensis) eating cane toads. It is likely that the opossum Didelphis genus of cane toads can eat with impunity. Besides the already mentioned use as biological control of pests, cane toad has used in several commercial and noncommercial applications. Traditionally, the natural habitat of the toads in South America, "milking" the toad, the Embera-Wounaan their toxins which are then used as arrow poison.

The toad has parotoid glands as a source of food hunting in some parts of Peru and eaten after removing the skin. Pregnancy tests were in the middle of the 20th Century by the introduction of the urine performed by women in the male toad lymph sacs, and if the sperm appeared in the urine of the toad, the patient is pregnant. Is considered ideal in experimental animals cane toad, they are plentiful and easy to maintain and operate and inexpensive. Even a dead toad matter. Cane toad skin was stuffed into the skin and novelty items cane toads, supplied and installed, has found a home in the tourist market, as well as attempts to produce fertilizer from their bodies.

Argentine Horned Frog

  

The Life of Animals | Argentine Horned Frog | Females can be up to 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) from snout to vent (SV) and men was 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) VS. Color is usually light green with red spots, but dark blue, parti-color versions of black and albino exist. Frog hunting horns remaining motionless, waiting for prey. In nature, the typical diet will include rodents such as mice, small reptiles and large spiders and insects such as grasshoppers. Horned frog is known for its reputation for courage. They try to eat animals, sometimes even their size. When kept as a pet, usually horned frogs feed primarily on large adult grasshoppers, crickets and black and brown rats, but also enjoy depending on fish size.

 

Sexual reproduction. Argentine Horned Frog Females lay about 2,000 eggs in water and in two weeks to become tadpoles. Known in the pet industry as Pacman frogs, in Argentina diversity of species is usually resistant and easy care. Argentine Horned Frog has some simple requests such as a pet. A We recommend keeping the horned frogs only way to avoid cannibalism. A heating pad can be used to adjust the temperature, however, the pad should be placed on a water surface and below so as not to prevent overheating frogs buried.

Daily misting with distilled water (hard water stain removal on glass) can help achieve optimal levels of humidity. Do not spray directly to your frogs in distilled water or distilled water to soak offer. Water treated with chlorine, or better, spring water must be used for dipping purposes. Juveniles can be fed appropriate vitamin / calcium dusted 3-4 size every two days. Adults can be fed adult crickets, cockroaches, earthworms or three times a week. Frogs have difficulty digesting the tissues in mammals and high fat content of mice can lead to fatty liver disease.

The Life of Animals | Kakapo | Kakapo parrots large round male measures up to 60 cm (24 inches) and weighs from 2 to 4 kg (4-9 lb) at maturity. Kakapo can not fly, having short wings for their size and lack of pronounced keel bone (sternum) that anchors the flight muscles of other birds. Unlike other species of land birds, Kakapo can accumulate a large amount of body fat for energy storage, making it the heaviest parrot. At the top of the Kakapo have yellowish green moss, or mottled feathers are prohibited, black or dark gray-brown, stirring well with native vegetation. Belly, tail, neck and face mostly yellow, streaked with pale green, slightly mottled brown-gray. Kakapo has a few feathers notable person driving fine, owl like face, so that the first European settlers called the "owl parrot". Beak surrounded by thin mustaches, or "whiskers" that birds use to test the waters to navigate, as he walks with his head down. Kakapo feet are large, scaly, and, like all parrots, zygodactyl (two toes pointing forward and two steps back). End of the tail feathers are often worn by the constant slip on the ground.

Japanese Squid

The Life of Animals | Japanese Squid | Adult squid have several distinctive features. Mantle covers the visceral mass of the squid, and has two edges, which are not the primary method of movement. Instead, the squid is a siphon muscle, which takes in water with one hand, and it pushes the other side jet propulsion. Squid have eight arms and two tentacles with suction cups along the back. Squids have ink sacks, which they use as a defense mechanism against potential predators. Squid and three hearts. This species of squid can weigh up to 0.5 kg. Mantle length in females can reach 50 cm, smaller males.

Japanese squid can live anywhere from 5 ° to 27 ° C, and generally inhabit the upper layers of the ocean. About 25 different species of squid swimming in the language of Vietnam only. During the years of life, squid larvae mature out of shape, eat and grow, and migration at the end of his life, going to the breeding grounds, where they multiply. Three subgroups were identified in Japanese waters. Squid usually live only one year, because when they reproduce, they die. Then the path continues south, women are "mature and lay eggs from 300 to 4000 small eggs elliptical, or hemispherical." Many vertebrate predators depend heavily on squid, which is second only to krill as a food source in the Southern Ocean. Animals such as albatross and gray whales (the largest of the toothed whales) feed almost exclusively on squid predators of other dolphins, seals, baleen whales and rays.

Great Hornbill

 

  

The Life of Animals | Great Hornbill | Great Hornbill large bird, 38-47 in 95-120 cm) in length, with 152 cm (60 inches) wingspan and weight of 2.15-4 kg (4.7-8.8 kg). It's heavy, but no longer hornbill, Asian. The most characteristic feature is the hornbill yellow and black helmet on top of its massive bill. Male hornbills are known to enter into an air helmet butting birds attack each other in flight. Females are smaller than males and have blue-white, and red eyes, although the orbital skin pink. Like other hornbills, there is the famous "eyelashes." In the back of the helmet red for women, and in the lower front and back of the helmet black men. The wing beats are heavy and the sound of birds in flight can be heard from afar. This species was previously divided into subspecies cavatus Western Ghats, to appoint a sub-Himalayan forests are sometimes referred to as a subspecies of homrai. Like other members of the hornbill family, they are very pneumatized bones, the hollow cavity of air that extends to the ends of the wing bones. This anatomical feature is observed Richard Owen, who dissected a sample Zoological Society of London, who died in 1833.

Species distribution is fragmented throughout the range in South and Southeast Asia. In Thailand, the habitat of the males were about 3.7 km during the breeding season, and about 14.7 km ² during the breeding season there. Great hornbills, as typically seen in small parties to larger groups, sometimes adding fruit trees. Assembly from 150 to 200 birds were recorded in south-eastern Bhutan In nature, the Great Hornbill diet consists mainly of fruits. Altissima Vitex is observed as another important species. It was noted that the lion-tailed macaques feed along with these hornbills. They feed on the branches, moving jumps, in search of insects, nestlings, small lizards, break the crust and study them. Proteins rarely, Travancore flying squirrel Petinomys fuscocapillus observed in the diet of species, while Scops Owl Otus bakkamoena collar, Jungle Owlet Glaucidium radiatum and the Gray facade of green Pigeon Treron pompadora observed as birds of prey in the Western Ghats

Very few hornbills are in captivity, and to create good. Women in the nest is very easy to capture and captured wild birds are female biased. Rhinos in captivity, they eat fruit and meat, and a healthy diet consists mainly of fruit and some protein source. Some of them have been domesticated in captivity but hornbill behavior in captivity is described as tense. Tribal threaten Great Indian rhinos, with their desire to its various parts. While dancing with hornbill feathers, do not eat vegetables, but is believed to produce the same foot ulcers conservation programs tried to provide tribes with feathers from captive hornbills and ceramic helmets to replace the natural ones.

Brown Pelican

 

 

The Life of Animals | Brown Pelican | The Brown Pelican occurs on both coasts of the Americas. On the Atlantic coast and Gulf coast, which spread from Nova Scotia to Venezuela, and the mouth of the Amazon River. In the Pacific Ocean are found from British Columbia to South Central Chile, including the Galapagos Islands. Some immature birds may depart interior freshwater lakes. After nesting, North American birds move in flocks further north along the coast, returning to warmer waters for winter. 

 

This bird is the American White Pelican by its brown body and its habit of diving for fish in the air like a fishing cooperative to distinguish from the surface in contrast. Groups of Brown Pelicans often travel in single file, flying low over the water surface.

Pesticides also threatened the pelican population in Florida during this period. Along with the American White Pelican, Brown Pelican is protected by the Law of migratory birds contract in 1918. The International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List listed the brown pelican as Least Concern in 1988, the U.S. government to prohibit the use of DDT imposed in 1972. Since then, the Brown Pelican population increased.

Flatfish

 

  
The Life of Animals | Flatfish | Their most striking feature of flatfish asymmetry, both in the eyes of older adult falls on the same side of the fish. In some families, the eyes are always on the right side of the body (flatfish dextral or right eye), while others are always right (or left-handed flatfish left-eyed). Fish on the surface of the sea floor, pigmented, often serves to camouflage the fish, but sometimes bright color patterns. Side of the body without eyes,

overlooking the sea bed, usually colorless or very light. Only eat small fish and spiny turbot, and a well-developed teeth. Fish dishes range in size from oligolepis Tarphops, measuring about 4.5 cm (1.8 inches) long and weighing 2 grams (0.071 ounces), Atlantic halibut, 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and 316 kilograms (700 pounds). Flatfish eggs that hatch into larvae, as well as a typical, symmetrical, fish.

Migration through the eyes of one of the most senior and the other side of the body, leaving one side of the blind fish. Larva Swim bladder and spines, and goes down and loses his blind side of the main surface. In 2008, 50 million year old fossil, Amphistium, was identified as an early relative of a transitional flatfish fossil and modern fish dish, the head is asymmetric in both eyes on one side of the head.
