Marine Iguana

The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

The Santo Stefano Lizard, Podsrcis Sicula Sanctistephani, went extinct in 1965. The Santo Stefano Lizard lives on Santo Stefano Island and is also a Mediterranean type. The lizard likes being near a lot of water. The species ranged out to Italy, South Of Alphs, Sicily, Saradinia, and many other islands. The lizard has been introduced to a number of sites in the United States, Libya, And Tunisia (broom02.revolvy.com). The Santo Stefano Lizard lives on Santo Stefano which is a very small island near Ventotene and its off the west coast of Italy. A feral cat and snakes killed off most of the population.

Flaming Iguanas by Erika Lopez and The Road by Cormac McCarthy critiques America, while transgressing heteronormativity and modifying mobility and identity. Traveling west is an adventure and an opportunity to discover oneself, it is also an extension to exercise one's freedom. In Flaming Iguanas as a woman,Tomato Rodriguez travels across the country to see her dad in California. She transgressing the meaning of the road, whilst pushing the boundaries of heteronormativity ideals that are placed on women. In The Road, father and son travel to the coast through burned America. The road becomes a space to develop a bond that is of mutual respect, furthermore an opportunity to invent one’s identity. Both novels critique American capitalism but

The green sea turtle occurs throughout tropical and subtropical oceans and is among the largest of the hard-shelled sea turtles growing to as much as 440 pounds and four feet in length. The breeding populations in Florida were listed as endangered in 1978 (43 FR 32800 32811, July 28, 1978) whereas all other populations were listed as threatened (NOAA 2015h). There is a proposal for identification of a North Atlantic green sea turtle distinct population that would be listed as threatened, continuing its current listing status near New York (80 FR 51763 51764, August 26, 2015). They are found in the shallow waters (except during migration) of shoals, bays, lagoons reefs, and inlets, often where submerged aquatic vegetation exists, from Maine south to Florida, and throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea (USFWS 2015n, 2015o; NOAA 2015e). Green sea turtles nests are not present in New York; however, they occasionally are found stranded on or near the shore (NYSDEC 2015ad). Breeding takes places in subtropical to tropical oceans every two, three, or four years between June and September, with peak nesting in June and July (NOAA 2015h; USFWS 2015u). Hatching usually occurs at night, and many green sea turtle hatchlings seek refuge and food in masses of floating sea plants (USFWS

The Yellowtail Marine, Inc. case combines corporate and industry data with an "in-basket" exercise. It focuses attention on the difficulties of Robyn Gilcrist – the newly appointed President – to efficiently managing the company’s daily operations while at the same time developing a corporate strategy. Robyn Gilcrist has taken over as CEO a few days after the death of Olaf Gunerson, Yellowtail’s founder and former owner. Therefore, there was no proper hand-over for Gilcrist.

to the muskox (Ovibos moschatus). Around the beginning of September, Arctic vampire lizards will climb up the legs of muskoxen grazing on the last vegetation of the summer. Using its long toes to climb, the Arctic vampire lizard will navigate through the fur of its muskox. Like some snakes, the vampire lizard has a pit organ located beneath the nostrils with which the lizard can detect infrared radiation (Gracheva et al. 2010). The Arctic vampire lizard uses the heat sensing organ to locate where blood vessels lie close to the skin on the muskox. After locating a site, the Arctic vampire lizard will use its razor sharp teeth to first shave the area of hair, then to

Bull sharks grow to a length of about 11.5 feet and can weigh up to about 500 pounds. Females are larger on average than males. Bull sharks have gray back and sides, a white underside, large first dorsal fin and pectoral fins, and small eyes for their size. Less keen eyesight is another reason why they may confuse humans with more tasty prey.

They belong to the animals group. Both of the species have low sets of eyes below the mouth and large upturned mouths. They are Tertiary animals which means nothing eats them. They eat a lot of the food such as phytoplankton and mussels.

Also known as the Gulf of California Harbor Porpoise, or by it’s Latin name, Phocoena sinus, as well as cochito or desert porpoise, this cetaceans resembles a dolphin, having the same sleek, grey dorsal surface, it’s only distinguishable feature being it’s flat or rounded face and dark areas around the eyes and mouth, making it look like it has a short beak. Newborn offspring have a much darker coloration. Vaquitas are relatively small in size, adults being 5 feet long, which is about the high of the average teenager in the United States, while offspring are about the size of a large human baby or a small toddler. An adult vaquita weights up to 120 pounds.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, law is a “system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties” (1). In order for this system of rules to be enforced, there needs to be a set group of people whose job it is to maintain public order, and that is where the police are instituted. Over the years, however, there is a raising concern for the treatment of individuals by this police force. Trust for police officers is at an all time low, while crime is on the rise. In order for the police system to counter this and to improve upon themselves, incorporating new technologies will increase community relations along with helping to assist

West Indian manatees can also be found in the coastal and inland waterways of Central America and along the northern coast of South America, although distribution in these areas may be discontinuous.[5]

Body temperature determines behavior and activity of reptiles, including hunting behavior. Ambush hunting rattlesnakes would benefit from selecting ambush sites where the substrate is relatively warm, allowing them to stay in ambush for longer and strike prey successfully. Here, we test whether free-ranging sidewinder rattlesnakes (Crotalus cerastes) select ambush sites based on substrate temperature. We are using a thermal imaging camera to measure snake temperature and substrate temperature at ambush sites and random locations. We expect that snakes choose ambush sites with substrate temperatures that allow them to stay at a warmer body temperature than if they selected sites at random.

The Australian sea lion, Neophoca cinerea of family Otariidae is the sole extant species of its genus and the only endemic pinniped found in Australian waters, ranging from coastal Western Australia to Southern Australia (Kirkwood & Goldsworthy 2013; Lowther et al. 2012). Unique in its non-annual, temporally asynchronous breeding cycle across adjacent colonies, prolonged breeding and lactation period, extreme female site fidelity, and natal philopatry, the Australian sea lion is thus considered one of the world’s rarest non-migratory otariids (Kirkwood & Goldsworthy 2013; Campbell 2005). The innate philopatry nature coupled with its geographically

Water moccasins or Cottonmouth snake (Agkisrodon piscivorus) live in the fresh water biome which consists of swamps, lakes, ponds, marches, and streams. The water moccasin has adapted to its environment physically by having a dominant color of brown, dark olive, black, or tan back to be able to blend into rocks and mud. Also a pale stomach for camouflage from predators looking up from underwater. This is called Countershading. Also, because of water tension and the adaption of inflating their lungs to float the water moccasin is able to swim or glide across the water. The cottonmouth is the top of the food chain and web other than hawks, king snakes, people, and owls. Its diet in the wild contains of mammals and reptiles because it is a carnivore.

These animals’ defense mechanism is to curl up into a protected ball with the help of its thick layer of scales. Furthermore, they are insectivores, meaning they are carnivores that eat insects, such as ants and termites. These mammals are able to dig up termite mounds and anthills using their sharp powerful claws, in which they consume with the help of their lengthy tongue. Being nocturnal, pangolins are more active during the night rather than during daytime.
