How The Kinkajou Is A Relative Of The Raccoon And Lives

A campbell dwarf hamster only lives for around two and a half years. A chinese hamster lives for around three years while a roborovski hamster lives for at the longest at three and a half years. Dwarf hamsters are usually near sighted and are color blind. They will eat almost anything edible. They have cheek pouches in which they store food in. For a russian dwarf hamster their scent glands are a brown stripe down their back. There are two types of russian dwarf hamsters. A winter white who get their names because during the winter their fur turns all white except for their scent glands. And then there is the traditional campbell one which is typically the one you find in the pet stores. A roborovski dwarf hamster is very active at night like most hamsters but this hamster will on average run over one hundred miles every night. A winter white dwarf hamster is only three to four inches long in adulthood. They are more active at dawn and dusk they are also

The crested gecko lives in New Caledonia, which is northeastern to Australia. This part of the country is tropical and has very humid jungles which keep the gecko’s skin moist. The crested gecko’s body over time has adapted to this environment. In particular its tail,

“For many of us, clean water is so plentiful and readily available that we are rarely, if ever, pause to consider what life would be like without it,” said Marcus Samuelsson. According to the Des Moines Register, “The federal Environmental Protection Agency is adding $12.3 million to a loan fund that will help pay for drinking water systems or improve efficiency.” There are obvious water quality issues in Iowa, and people around the state including farmers and the governor are trying to help.

Capuchin Monkeys are found in the neotropical forests of Central America. Animal Diversity Web states that the Capuchins have, "one of the widest ranges of all New World Monkeys. " Capuchin Monkeys are easily adaptable to many different habitats. They can live in a variety of forest types, both wet and dry. The University of Wisconsin Primate Research Center notes that, "All Capuchins live in dense habitats. They are arboreal and usually sleep on a branch. " This being said they can survive in an abundance of areas because of their some special features. These features include strong gripping hands and a grasping tail, giving these monkeys have a wide range of locomotion. They are able to run, leap, and

The Woodchuck is not a very large animal by any means, but in its family its among the largest ranging from ranging from 16-26 inches in length (Bio-expedition, 2015). The Woodchuck can weigh anywhere from as little as four pounds to as much as nine pounds (Bio-expedition, 2015). They are a stocky animal and have a very short tail. They have very powerful front appendages that they use to dig elaborate burrows. They also have a two layer coat the help them help protect them from the environment. On the outside the Woodchuck has brown coat the helps repel water and on the inside they have a very dense fur for warmth.

The bonobo has pink lips, a black face, and black hair that parts straight down the middle of its head. It has tuff, black fur. It’s smaller, leaner, and darker than its cousin, the chimpanzee. Females weigh about 63 pounds and males weigh about 85 pounds. Male bonobos grow to be about 4 feet tall and females grow to be about 3.5 feet tall. They usually live to be about 60 years old. They eat fruits, leaves, flowers, insects, and small mammals. They are secondary consumers because they eat small mammals (primary consumers), leaves (producer), and bonobos are being hunted by humans.

My research project is about the KakaWahie. The KakaWahie is a bird that is native to a Hawaiian Island named Moloka'i. The male Kakawahie are scarlet plumage and the female are dull rusty brown. The name KakaWahie means woodchopping to n Hawaiian. They would eat beetle larva and the KakaWahie eat upside down. They help in the environment by keeping the bug population down.

Their environments are rainforest, woodlands and grassland. They spend the majority of their time on trees and eating on trees. They do not travel much and just scattered over their area. They are known to be omnivores and their diet consists of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, leaves, blossoms, insects and occasionally other animals. They are very social and communicate by calls, touch, body language, gestures, and facial expressions.

This paper will discuss primate morphology for the Lemur catta, also known as the ring tailed lemur, what characterizes them as primates, how they react in their environment, and their social and adaptive behaviors in that environment. The Lemur catta and it is only found in the island of Madagascar, as well as off the coast of southeast Africa. In Madagascar, they reside in the southeastern portion anywhere from sea level, up to 8530 feet high. Their environment consists mainly of tropical forested area in the proximity of nine forests: Andohahela, Andringitra, Ankilitelo, Berenty, Beza Mahafaly, Isalo, Tsimanampetsotsa, Tsirave, and Zombitse (Godfrey et al. 1998). According to the National Primate Research Center (pin.primate.wisc.edu), they also have a variety of habitats for example rainforests, spiny bush forests, subalpine, deciduous, and gallery. However, a lot of their habitat has been affected by constant human contact; agricultural clearing, deforestation, and burning to produce charcoal. The Lemur catta need to be able to hide in the forest and they are not very good at adapting to new environments so they depend a lot on the forested areas. The southwest part of Madagascar is very prone to droughts and they can have serious effects on the habitats of ring-tailed lemurs and other mammals. I will discuss what makes the Lemur catta a primate and the primate characteristics that they possess. Then, I will express the specialized, physical characteristics that they

Black bears are the smallest North American bears however; they are the largest land mammal in New Jersey. Black bears evolved in thick forest and live in mixed hardwood forests, dense swamps and forested wetlands. They naturally like to eat fresh leaves, berries, fruits, nuts, roots, insects, bird eggs and small mammals. Black bears are generally solitary animals, with the exception of a sow and her cubs. They tend to be crepuscular, meaning they are most active shortly before sunrise and again after sunset. Black bears are typically not aggressive and tend to be wary of humans.

Raccoon are nocturnal; which means they sleep in the day and are awake at night. They are also omnivore, which means plants and animals. Some plants they consume are berries, leaves and fruits, and they prey on insects, frogs and crayfish. Raccoons are found in forests, mashes prairies and in cities. These masked bandits are live many place; in a hole in a tree, in a log, and in a house attic. Their predators are cougars, bobcats and coyotes ( Source 2). These characteristics of the raccoons and some of these basic necessities decide whether an animal survives or not. The environment the raccoon is present decides its adaptation.

Alpaca live in the mountainous regions of Bolivia, native to all of South America, these creatures are like South American Camels and are herbivores. Jaguars are the largest cats in South America, they are meat eaters and prefer to live in treetops in the Amazon Rainforest. Chinchillas are a common household pet, but they are in danger. They used to live all over South America, but are now only known to exist in small pockets in Bolivia and Chile, they are omnivores that will eat fruit and bugs. The Jaburi is a large headed stork native to only Bolivia. It eats fish and

The fur on these animals differ from red to brown, sometimes grey. They have long wings. 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,

Throughout the years of Sasquatch sightings all of them vaguely gave a similar description of what we think we know what the animal looks like today. Sasquatch has very long arms with an ape like face and a flat noise. Its footprints can range between 16-20 in. An adult Sasquatch can be as tall as 11ft while a juvenile Sasquatch is about 7ft tall (Lindemans). They are known to have several inches of reddish brown or black hair with an occasional patch of white or grey hair (“Bigfoot Sasquatch”). Sasquatch is heard to make a distinct hair rising howl or scream (“Animal Planet”). Habitats are normally remote mountains to state wooded parks or swampland but there has been few exceptions where they have been spotted on public highways (“Bigfoot Habitat”). Dr Nina G. Jablonski says, "Apes are big bodied creatures but more importantly they have big brains. In order to supply their brains with energy, they need to eat very nutrient rich foods. How can these animals live in an area with such poor high quality foods”(“HowStuffWorks”). The description of Sasquatch and its habitat is derived from a collaboration of thousands of eyewitness reports from the entire continent, some of astounding length and detail.

My hypothesis was that, “If the Ring Tailed Lemur spends a third of their time on the ground foraging for food, then if we study them for an hour in captivity, they should spend approximately the same amount of time foraging for food.” This hypothesis was proven correct by the data of the Ring Tailed Lemurs at the Bronx Zoo. The lemurs at the zoo spent around one third of the time on the ground. The amount of time that the lemurs spent on the ground was 33% of the time that the lemurs were on the ground. In the Bronx Zoo the lemurs spent thirteen thirty sixths of their time which is 36% of their time on the ground. Even in captivity the Ring Tailed Lemurs spent most of the time in the trees and less time on the ground foraging for food.
