Leptocottus Armatus Case Summary

Simply a smooth round surface lies within the eye socket. They are in the shape of footballs with a distinct eyelid surrounding them entirely, and a rigid eye brow structure is placed directly over the top. The forehead gracefully goes upward from the brow without a single crease, and it slightly rounds outward. The nose is perpendicular to the eyes, beginning where they meet in the middle. It is overly thin on the brim, protruding greatly from the face. Two half circles flare out at the lower tip of the nose with openings at the bottom to resemble nostrils. Directly below this, two almost rectangular shaped characters emerge from the face, exactly where a pair of lips would sit. There is a deep gap between the two to give it the image of a mouth.

Leaves:Foliage along the stem is arranged oppositely with dark green colour and has arrow shaped up to 4 cm long to 2 cm wide having blunt-tipped with spreading basal lobes.

The scientific name for the Eastern Spadefoot toad is Scaphiopus holbrookii. They have vertically elliptical pupils with grayish or blackish brown- skin with olive skin scattered with warts. Two yellow lines originate from each eye and formed a lyre shaped pattern along each side of the body. The sickle- shaped spade on the side of its foot belongs to the primitive amphibian family that is neither true frog nor true toad.

Greater Scaup (Aythya marila) and Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) populations have been steadily declining in the last decade. This has raised concerns among wildlife biologists as to what is the driving force behind these declines. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is the main managing agency of waterfowl in the United States. The USFWS has decided to lower hunting bag limits in effort to decrease the population decline. In this report, I have reported the life history of the scaup, background to the population decline, current regulations, and other material dealing with the scaup population decline. I have created a proposed management plan to improve scaup habitat and compensate for the population decline.

There are eight species of pangolins and thats where they live, 4 in Africa and 4 in Asia. Their size varies from the smallest being 3.5lbs to the biggest being 73 lbs, their scales make up 20% of their body weight. Their color can go from yellow brown look or it can be dark brown. They have scales that overlap and are made from keratin, the same thing that our hair and fingernails are made out of. Small heads and jaws with no teeth makes it hard to eat so God made this animal with a long, sticky, and muscular tongue. Which is perfect for getting water, reaching down to get ant and for getting

2. Tiktaalik has scales and fins, like a fish. It also has a flat head and a neck, like

Physical Description: Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes have thick flat body with vertical pupils, blunt tail with a jointed rattle and brown, tan, gray, black, yellow and olive skin colors and/or patterns. Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes can reach a length 15-48 inches and

Identifying Features- Typically 4 to 6 feet, and 660 to 1,100 pounds. Skin is primarily black, with varying pale spots and a pinkish-white underbelly. Lacks a hard shell but instead has a carapace composed of tough, rubbery skin and thousands of tiny bone plates Its carapace is large, elongated and flexible with 7 distinct ridges running the length of the animal. Front flippers lack claws or scales and back flippers are paddle-shaped.

Significant unmitigated losses to fish and fish habitat, including three distinct sub-groups of fish preferred by Aboriginal peoples, one of which is federally listed as a species of special concern.

Piping plovers are labeled “threatened” and “endangered” under a federal law, the Endangered Species Act. This law offers some protection to species that are in danger of dying out. Yet there are still challenges to the piping plover population from humans and animals. The best way to fully protect piping plovers is through more laws and regulations.

Most parasitic diseases can not be contracted in the United States but when traveling, you can catch it. Luckily, you can take some precautions to avoid contracting them. There are some diseases contracted by consuming contaminated water and food. Some of the preventative measures that should be taken to avoid this is keeping away from drinking the water, swimming only in designated swimming areas, not swimming in freshwater and avoiding swallowing water when swimming, steer clear from cooked food from street vendors, raw vegetables, and unpasteurized dairy foods such as milk or cheese. You should also get specific vaccinations before entering different countries like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Influenza, Measles, Polio, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis

When traveling to and from exotic locations, vacationers are warned about drinking untreated water, swimming in freshwater lakes and streams, and against eating certain foods. The risks for contracting a parasitic disease while abroad are pretty well defined and as a traveler you are made aware. Less known are the risks here at home. It is a fact however that parasitic diseases in the US are on the rise. According to Dr. Oz “approximately 1 in 3 Americans is infected with an intestinal parasite at any given time.” Specific statistic are not available because most Americans who are infected may be unaware. Often the symptoms of neglected parasitic infections are troublesome, however, vague. Therefore treatment is not immediately sought and even

Anisakis simplex: Its total length is 15.2-20 mm, width is 0.25 mm. The esophagus length is 2-2.5 mm. It has long and cylindrical ventriculus (0.5- 1.1 mm). There is a boring tooth at the anterior end and a mucron at the tip of the tail with the absence of the intestinal caeca.

Leprosy or Hansen disease is a Mycobacterium leprae that has tormented humans since the beginning of their existence. Leprosy is a bacteria that impinge the peripheral nervous system and skin, which causes disfiguring skin sores. However, leprosy is not as contagious as ancient civilization thought it to be. Leprosy is only transmittable from airborne respiratory droplets such as coughs and sneezes. The disease becomes more contagious when the droplets are recurring . From the way leprosy is transmitted there are an escalation of cases in children compared to adults. Today, about 180,000 people worldwide are infected with leprosy, according to the World Health Organization. Notably, most of the cases take part in third world continents such as Africa and Indian.

All are carniverous and have four pair of walking legs, one pair of pedipalps, and one pair of chelicerae. (Spiders, W.Shear) Each chelicerae consists of a base and a fang.
