Distinctive Features Of Bullfrogs

Most everyone thinks sharks eat just about everything but that is just not the case. Most sharks eat smaller fish. Larger sharks prey on seals, sea lions, squid, octopus, and rays.

The animal I researched is the Geocapromys Thoracatus. Also known as Little Swan Island Hutia. They lived on the Swan Islands of North-Eastern Carribeans in Honduras where their distant cousin the Geocapromys Browni (Jamaican Hutia) also lived. The Carribeans is a very beautiful place, it has clear water and a bunch of trees. The Swan Island Hutia doesn't really have a niche because they emerge from caves and forage on bark,small twigs, and leaves. (www.IUCNredlist.org) (www.flinders.edu.au)

Bullfrogs also prefer to be in warmer climates rather than cooler ones. Bullfrogs are animals and bullfrogs have a diet that is meat based on their habitat. Bullfrogs are nocturnal hunters, hiding and resting during the day and hunting by night. Bullfrogs hunt a variety of insects and their larvae, eggs, spiders, and even small fish. Some of the larger bullfrogs, today found in South Korea, have been even known to eat small snakes. They have powerful legs and cow-like call. Their conservation status that is least concern. Also the Bullfrogs skin type is permeable and slimmy.

An environment with a lot of vegetation and their preys is ideal for them. They are perfect hunters with ability to stalk their prey with patience and stealth. They then capture their meals with one strong leap. These animals live in solitary or in territories. One unique thing about them is that the females do not share the same territory with each other. Territories for males usually tend to overlap. The territories are established with scent markings and the size varies extremely. The size ranges from twenty five to thirty square miles for males and five square miles for females (Sunquist & Fiona

This species of communal crab only grows to a width of 1 inch, and has a square purplish body. The main source of food for these creatures are the leaves of marsh cordgrass, and the occasional smaller species of crabs like fiddler crabs. They are also nocturnal creatures, which makes them hard to study. Predators of this species include the Blue Crab, Striped Bass, and certain species of marsh birds.

Their black ears point forward, and have wrinkled lips and their tails go beyond the third tail membrane; that is where they got their name. A lot of people say that their tails look like a mouse's. Their Kingdom is the Animalia, their Phylum is Chordate. This animal is a Chordate because they have nerve fibers,
