Species Profile Of Puerto Rico

The Puerto Rican parrot reaches reproductive age in approximately 3 to 5 years. Parrots usually form pairs that last for a long time. Couples stay together most of the year, except when the female is incubating and the male assumes the responsibility of providing food. The parrot builds its nest in cavities found in large trees such as the redwood (Cyrilla racemiflora). The nesting begins in the months of February and March, until

resides in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. This species is migratory through most of its range,

Surprisingly the flora and fauna is significantly low in the country. Although there is an abundance of vast open land, it is only in the areas where precipitation is high that the grasslands are thicker and heavier. One very common type of plant that grows throughout the island is the Royal palms, but overall the land has been taken over for permanent agriculture which it occupies two-fifths of the land. This is evident in the areas with fertile soils such as the valleys and low mountain slopes. Just like the plants, there are very few animal types that inhabit the land. Near the Yaque River and Lake Enriquillo you will be able to find alligators and flamingos due to the swamp like environment. Within the coral reefs you can find a small variety of fish such as yellowtail snapper and shellfish. Though there are ducks, doves, and a variety of other birds they are only seasonal visitors to the island.

There are two legends that are often associated with the Chupacabra. In Chile, there is a creature known as the Peuchen. It is described to be a winged snake. The legend states that it is a shapeshifter, living hidden as a human, and then changing to ts winged snake state. Its gaze paralyzes its victims, so it can swoop out of the sky and suck their blood. It is thought that this legend derived from the Vampire Bat population in the area.

Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island and independent United States region that is embellished with a countryside of green mountains, cascading waterfalls, and tropical forests. However, it is best known for its white sandy beaches. Here one can snorkel, surf, and sail. San Juan is the capital and often visited as a tourist location. One can find bars located beachside, fabulous nightspots, and casinos. The reason for choosing Puerto Rico is because it is similar to the United States in many ways. There has always been a desire to travel there to teach English in this country. Having meet some citizens from the country and had friends that experienced life there as an exchange student has only heightened the desire to move there.

Habitat: Commonly found in terrestrial. Forest light gaps, slips, margins, disturbed sites, open habitats, riverbeds, cliffs, inshore and offshore islands, fernland, herbfield,

Females lay white spherical eggs on the trunk, and produce a yellow viscous material from the ovipositor which is smoothed over into a covering, before fading to white or grey. Larvae exit the egg directly into the plant, never becoming exposed, and so are impervious to sprays. Young larvae are restricted to the cambium, circling the cane 3-4 times in a close spiral, girdling the primocane, and producing gall-like swellings. As larvae grow, they extend feeding deeper into wood and pith, and staightening the spiral and heading usually toward the distal end of the cane (tunnels may extend 15 cm below to 64 cm above the gall). Larvae reach a length of 12 mm, and have a pair of horn-like projections on the posterior end. The larvae are white and legless, with a flattened head (the family is often called flat headed borers). Larvae winter in the cane, and in March create a pupal chamber. The pupa is formed in late April. The pupal period lasts 20-40 days. When the adult leaves the pupal skin, it remains in the tunnel for about 10 days before chewing a D-shaped emergence hole. Adults feed on foliage for several days before beginning oviposition. They are most easily found on the plants on warm sunny days. There is one generation

The Northern Correboree Frog is an endangered species that is restricted to montane, subalpine woodlands, grassland and heathland 1,000 metres above sea level. The estimated amount of Northern Correboree Frogs is 1000-5000. One of the reasons why the Northern Correboree Frog is endangered is because of climate change. Climate change affects the Northern Correboree Frog because it was predicted that its population would decrease in winter and spring precipitation because, this would make one of the popular breeding habitats (edges of bog pools) very saturated and dry, which makes it hard for the frogs to breed.

What's a common location that comes up in discussion when someone thinks of a destination to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the Main land of the United States? Normally Puerto Rico isn't too far away from conversation. Puerto Rico is a beautiful place with the perfect climate and many historical sites to take that getaway that you have always wanted. Today we will discuss major issues in/of Puerto Rico, the significance of this research and data sources, and lastly I will describe the data collected and research found during my inquiry on the region known as Puerto Rico

The mating season is year round and once they’re pregnant the, length of gestation is one hundred thirty days to one hundred ninety days. (The gestation for a human is two times longer.) They only have one offspring at birth. After birth the young latch onto the backs of their mother and stay until a year of age.

All species are found in North America and tend to be nocturnal, but they inhabit relatively unique niches, which is evident in various minute differences between the species, including fur and nose size. C. townsendii tends to live in evergreen forests that have a moderate climate while C. mexicanus lives in higher, more humid and mountainous habitats. For this reason, C. townsendii has a darker, thicker coat; not only does it act as better natural camouflage, but the coarse, thick hair protects it well from the environment. C. refenisquii is found primarily in the Southwestern United States, but migrates frequently due to the changes in

Mofongo was introduced to the Caribbean by Africans in the Spanish New World colonies such as the Dominican Republic (mangú), Cuba (fufu de plátano) and Puerto Rico (mofongo). It

In between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean is the group of islands located known as the Puerto Rico. This is exactly located in the east of Dominican Republic about 1000 miles (1600 Kms) south east of Miami, Florida. The Puerto Rico islands are well known for its tourism due to its history and the warm atmosphere. The dimension of this island is almost rectangular shape with 100 miles long and 35 miles wide. It is the smallest and most eastern island of Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico). According to its size Puerto Rico is the 3rd largest Island in USA and the in the whole world it stands in the 82nd position. It contains many small Islands and keys such as Vieques, Culebra,

The females lay two hundred to three hundred eggs each pregnacy but only half of them actually reprodouce. Males grow spikes down their back during mating season, to show off for the girls. They also give off an acid that stinks horribly to scare away predators. They live up to twenty-five years. They also stay in things cool to keep them moist, like mud,water, and under leaves.

Frogs, toads, caecilians, and salamanders are the members of the class Amphibian (amphi- meaning “on both sides” and bios- meaning “life”). These members always require water for reproduction. Most Amphibians undergo metamorphosis, which is a usually degenerative pathological change in the structure of a particular body tissue. And, in the case of Amphibians, it is the changing of a tadpole into
