Explorer Colonel John Blashford – Snell found a rare breed of a Double-Nosed Andean tiger on his recent trip to Bolivia. The double nose appears to be a regular dog nose but with nostrils separated by a band of skin. The breed is said to possess heightened sense of smell due to their double nose.
Double-Nosed Andean tiger might have come from Pachon Navarro, a breed that was common at the time of Spanish Conquistadors.
Draculin is a protein found in the saliva of vampire bats. Vampire bats drink blood to sustain themselves. The vampire bats contrary to popular beliefs do not suck the blood from their prey. They let the prey to bleed and lap up the gushing blood.
The vampire bat injects draculin when it bites its prey. Draculin prevents
and serves as a conduit of their life force. Thus, Count Dracula and other vampires drink blood to
To understand an animal more, you must first understand the history behind it. The evolution of Siberian tigers started when a fossil of Siberian tigers were found in China. It was two million years old. Even though the animals have different features that make them appear different, they are very much alike internally, including that in the distant past they had a common ancestor. For example, all tigers have characteristics such as; strip patterns,large paws, long claw, whiskers,sharp teeth, long tail, and strong hind legs. The tiger species may have common characteristics, but their

Vampire bats give blood to unrelated vampire bats for several reasons. Among the reasons are the cost sharing of blood, the benefit of sharing blood and the probability that the bats that were given blood will in turn reciprocate and give blood to other bats at a later date. The cooperative equilibria in blood sharing among bats means that the sharing of blood will occur if the benefits of sharing blood multiplied by the probability that blood sharing will be beneficial in the future is greater than the cost of sharing blood. If a bat shares blood with another bat (even an unrelated bat), the bat that is the recipient is expected to donate blood to other bats at a larger rate than it received at a later time.
Often they will even make arrangements with blood bank owners so that some supply will be left out. Friendlier vampires can be extremely helpful, too. They are not picky about blood. They can survive drinking any type of blood, though they certainly prefer human blood when they can get in. Because of this, vampires will often make deals with the local blood bank owners or with prominent city figures to help control the population. When they drink the blood of an animal, the animal does not become a vampire animal, despite what many people believe. The animal simply
“South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum,” James Lewis Petigru is a perfect quote to describe “The Half-Mammals of Dixie” by George Singleton. We will explore how much the characters in the story would make per year, try to determine their cost of living and look at how the depressed southern economy plays a role on the rone of these stories. Economics and a time of depression had to play a big part in why Singleton chose to write these stories the way he did so by going over the short stories Fossils and Bank of America we will get a better understanding of how big the economic impact really was.
While vampire bats do not consume insects such as mosquitos most other species of bats do so and as such the attempted culling of the vampire bat population often affects to populations of other bat species that are harmed and or killed because of them being confused for vampire bats and being killed because of it. A typical female brown bat weighs roughly forty grams and consume their entire body weight in one night. If a brown bat were to consume strictly mosquitos, they would be able to consume sixteen thousand mosquitoes in a night. Meaning that under perfect circumstances a singular brown bat could consume approximately sixteen thousand mosquitos that may be carrying diseases in a single night. One hundred would represent a more conservatively oriented estimate. While I understand the viewpoint of the culling of the vampire bat population to reduce rabies recent studies have shown that this may be counterproductive. This is because younger vampire bats have a higher immunity and more rabies antibodies in there system. This is because younger healthy vampire bats are one of the most active groomers meaning that they are the most affected by culling via poisons. Because of this the bats with higher resistance to rabies will not have children and spread this trait onto their
These pantherine-like species had thin, purple fur, pointed ears, and flat noses with needle sharp teeth.
The name Saguinus imperator sciurus refers to the animal’s resemblance to a squirrel, due to its small-sized slender body, a bushy long tail, and brown-grey colored fur. The Saguinus imperator sciurus’s back and limbs are covered in brown-grey thick soft fur, but its abdominal area is usually brownish-orange with black speckles on the chest. Similar to emperor tamarin, the Saguinus imperator sciurus has curly white mustache, but it tends to be thinner like whiskers. On its face it has two dark brown forward-facing eyes, and a short nose. However, like most New World monkeys, the Saguinus imperator sciurus is also color-blind. The animal has claws on its toes and fingers, expect for its great toes which have nails instead. Apart from that, The physical feature differences including body sizes between the two sex are not
Barba honestly had no clue if drinking such blood was dangerous or not. He knew drinking another vampire’s blood could make him violently sick but a werewolf’s, he would soon find out. He bit into his neck, drinking slowly, unsure. An incredible warmth was felt throughout his body. It was the exact same feeling when he drank one of his favourite bourbons. There was no hit of being sick at all, which he was grateful for. In fact, his blood was actually quite pleasant as he drank it for another minute or so. After he gets his fill, he licks his wounds, and wakes him up.
According to the Oxford Dictionaries, a vampire is “a corpse supposed to leave its grave at night to drink the blood of the living by biting their necks with long pointed canine teeth.” Vampires were seen as a villain, evil, or even a monster. This type of vampire can be seen in the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. However, the newer vampires “drink blood to survive and maintain their powers” (Truebloodwiki). This description of vampires is similar to the Oxford definition.
Tasmanian Tigers are an extinct animal back in 1936. A striped creature that showed characteristics of a dog or wolf. To find out this animal was not that much related to a canine. Ir ended up looking and changing because of its ecological role play that it adapted. This article explains how and why a scientist went back did brain scans to figure out more about this mysterious animal. After scan both white and gray matter of the brain. To then find out interesting characteristics that were never research before because of its extinction in 1936. After this research it was founded that they are more like a tasmanian devil. Finding this was all because of the brain scan that Dr. Berns did. With this research it was founded that many people who
The saber tooth Tiger went extinct about 12,000 years ago with other megafauna in the Quaternary extinction. These tigers scientific name is Smilodon or Smilodontini. It lived in North America and South America and it was classified by its huge teeth that stick out of its mouth. Some evidence was found in the tar pits of La Brea. Evidence showed that these cats had diseases like arthritis and other crippling diseases.
Vampire bats are very very interesting. Vampire bats feed on blood. They love the dark and they sleep upside down most of the time. They live in groups with about 1000 bats or more.

The Collared Peccary is from the phylum Chordata and class Mammalia. They have a pig-like snout, it has gray and brown hair. Around their neck they have a white or yellowish collar. They get as long as two to three feet tall and stands about one and a half feet tall. They cannot handle cold which is why they live in hot environments. They are found in Arizona, Southwest Texas south to Argentina. They lived in brushy desert areas that are usually near a water source. They travel in herds to look for fruits, nuts, berries and grass. Their herds are composed of 6-30 individuals. According to nature works the dominant male of the herd will mate with the females as they come into heat (2017). If there is more than one female in heat at the same
