Research Paper On Salamanders

Florida is a very beautiful state with very beautiful sights and animals. Unfortunately, some of these animals that people love to look at aren’t even supposed to live in Florida. In this paper, we will learn about how Florida has creatures in their land and sea that shouldn’t be there because they were “dropped off” or “set free” from people who owned them just for how the animal looks. One of the animals we will learn about will be the green iguana who was liked and bought just for his color and his bold look.

Humans have been giving common names to plants and animals for as far back as cavemen go. It has been no different for the American Alligator commonly known as the “gator”. The name “Alligator,” according to Kelby Ouchley, is an Anglicized term from the Spanish word “lagarto” (lizard). This name can be traced back to early Spanish explorers in North America, who came across the giant lizard looking type of animal. In 1802 the renowned French herpetologist, Francois Marie Daudin, officially described the American Alligator as Alligator Mississippiensis. The term Mississippiensis comes from the Mississippi river where many of these lizard like creatures were found and the Latin term ensis meaning “belonging to.”

In the past we have tried to contain these Cane Toads by setting up traps in the dry-seson however many blue tongue lizard got caught in them. They also tried to set up fences around areas that only have 1 or 2 freshwater lakes in them so that the babies cannot walk away from the area. This worked but we cannot simply fence up all the water sources in the top half of Australia. But I think we should create a poison on the cane toads. Because the other thing that eats Cane Toads is Cane Toads; therefore if we create a poisson on them we are able to get rid of many toads. The first step in creating this plan would be to make the poission. Secondly we would give the poison in a syringe to every homeowner in Northern Queensland so that they can

an amphibian, closely related to the Tiger Salamander. What makes the axolotl so unique is that it never

During my summer on August 23, 2015, my brother and I went to Kensington metro park to see if we could catch a frog. At the park we found a pond full of frogs and we finally caught a frog called The Bull frog, it had green and brown spots and a bright green upper lip and a creamy yellowish belly, it was three to eight inches long. Bull frogs is mostly found statewide, but numbers have been reduced locally due to overharvesting for "frog legs." Now rare over much of state. The Bullfrog could be as the size of a toad, but there is a big difference. Frogs have two bulging eyes

God has given the frilled lizard a great ability to scare things away from him. It stands on its back legs, swaying back and forth . He opens up his mouth, then hisses. Bright frills of skin sticks out around his head. The lizard makes himself look big and to scare off others.

There are over a million species of animals in this world, and chances are you have not heard about a majority of them. In fact, even scientists claim that they have not been able to discover all of the animal species on this planet so far. They discover new ones every year! Some animals are cute and cuddly, while others are downright weird. In this article, we will list top seven weird animals that you probably never heard about.

This species habitat is the longleaf pine-wiregrass flatwoods. The adult salamanders eat earthworms, insects, and are likely to eat other invertebrates as well. The larvae eat a variety of aquatic invertebrates, especially crustaceans. The Flatwood Salamander’s population is roughly several thousand, and is decreasing. Part of the community that the salamanders live in consists of decaying logs, vegetation, earthworms, and insects. Part of the ecosystem that they live in consists of decaying logs, vegetation, earthworms, insects, crayfish burrows, forest fires, and shallow ponds.

5 to 6 years ago I got two ferrets, they were named Natasha and Boris, it was was awesome to have two ferrets. We had a ferret cage with a tiny ball pen for them, we also had two tubes so the ferrets could climb through into the ball pin. The cage was huge it was big enough to fit a person in it.The first year was awesome there were lots of times we got them out of the ferret cage and a lot of fun was had. They used to play in the ball pen and we used to watch them, they would get the balls everywhere and our chiquaquas liked them as well they also played with the ferrets, one day they even escaped their cage once and crawled to me when I was across the house.He scratched my leg so I would notice him. We moved the ferret cage to the side table

The Southern Corroboree Frog is a critically endangered species found on Mt Kosciusko, in Victoria, Australia.

The Austin Blind Salamander are found no where else in the world than in Austin, Texas. How did this strange animal get its name you might ask? Well it got its name because it has no image-forming eyes. Its habbitat is the Barton Springs, and that is its only habbitat. The Austin Blind Salamander is endangered because of the ever-increasing human impact on their habbitat. (www.austintexas.gov)

According to a new study by researchers at the University of Queensland, “giant killer lizards” used to stomp around Australian land roughly 50,000 years ago. The discovery came as a surprise to the team of scientists, who now believe that Australia’s first human inhabitants might have lived at the same time as the giant predator.

Rattlesnakes have a fascinating amount of features that make them unique, specifically their rattle. There are twenty-nine or thirty types of rattlesnakes, depending on how you categorize them. They grow to be three to seven feet long which is pretty pitiful compared to the fifteen foot anaconda. They tend to weigh round ten pounds and live anywhere from te to twenty years. Rattlesnakes are a bizarre kind of snake that are ovoviviparous, or in other words, don’t lay eggs. Similar to the garter snake and boas, the female's eggs remain inside of her until they are developed and she gives live birth.

There are many things you can do with zoology, you can work in the zoo with basically all animals or you can study to work with one that you would like to work with specifically. In this case I would like to work with alligators. They are beautiful creatures to me and they are just extremely fascinating. Alligators are really cool to me and by the end of this paper I think that you might be as fascinated towards them as I am. Alligators can bite 13,172 Newton’s-or 2960 pounds of force, close to a t-rex. One of the most powerful bites ever recorded on any live animal in the world, that’s scary! Alligators can climb trees, fences, and anything that is in its way that has an incline like fences with holes like chain link.

Lately there has been high volumes of amphibian deformities and decrease in amphibian population. Most reports have been anecdotal, so we want to look under natural conditions to find the facts of this problem. There are three main factors we believe are the cause, environmental pesticides, parasites, and UV-B radiation
