Poison dart frogs

callidryas is a species of tree frogs found in the tropical rainforests of Central America. Their habitat distribution stretches from Southern Mexico, through Central America and going as far south as Colombia (Figure 1). Being one of the most widely studied treefrogs in the world, they truly are a sight to see, but if one were to travel from one region to another, there would be a different appearance of this species. These differences in this species of tree frogs are thought to be formed from the

found anywhere on earth. These animals consist of at least 40,000 plant species, 427 mammals (e.g. jaguar, anteater and giant otter), 1,300 birds (e.g. harpy eagle, toucan, and hoatzin), 378 reptiles (e.g. boa), more than 400 amphibians (e.g. dart poison frog) and around 3,000 freshwater fishes1 including the piranha have been found in the Amazon. By destroying the forest this will ruin habitats and therefore killing animals. In general, tropical rainforests have hot and humid climates where it rains

contrast Introduction: Many species have evolved various systems to warn off predators. Some species like the Rattlesnake use sound, like the rattling it produces using the growth on it’s tail to warn of its poisonous bite. While others like the Poison Dart Frog have developed brightly colored skin to warn predators of its poisonous properties. Adaptations like these have allowed organisms to avoid predation for thousands of years. Having a warning system to allow predators to realize the organism is

I have lived in many different places in my life, and every one of them has something unique and enjoyable about it; however, my favorite place where I have lived is Hamden, Connecticut. We only moved there for my dad to study at Yale University in order to become a developmental and behavioral pediatrician instead of a regular pediatrician, but it is still my favorite place to live, though it only beat Las Vegas by a microscopic amount because it snows in Connecticut. Breathtaking and magnificent

Zoos and aquariums are some of the most fun and educational places to visit. However its rare to see just how much care and work goes into keeping animals happy and healthy. The number one goal for any zoo or aquarium should be the wellbeing of its inhabitants. With advancements in research on enrichment and 3d printing in veterinary care, this field is taking steps to provide animals with care even better than before. Enrichment is an incredibly important when it comes to overall health and wellbeing

Tropical Rainforest More than half of the world’s tropical rainforests can be found in Central and South America, however they are also present in south eastern Asia and Africa. All of the world’s tropical rainforests can be found at the approximate location of -20 degrees latitude, also known as the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These types of areas exist because of the specific climate, soil types, and diversity present in these regions. This specific area

even the polar bears up in Antarctica could hear it. The next morning, Holmes, the security dog, was inspecting the animal cages. When he ran past the reptile room,he picked up a scent. He followed the smell to the reptile room. He sniffed the poison dart frog exhibit. “You’re not guilty,"Holmes announced. “Well, I guess we are all done here,"Cecil glanced around nervously. Holmes inspected every cage in the reptile room except Cecil’s. When Holmes was three steps out of the reptile room, he unexpectedly

Currently, the Amazon rainforest is disappearing at a rate of 1.5 acres of land every second, with 137 species going extinct every day. At this rate, the Amazon is predicted to be totally gone in forty years due to deforestation (“15 Facts About the Amazon You Didn’t Know”). All the land and resources stolen from the rainforests are for a few greedy reasons, but are they really worth it? Rainforests are found all over the world. Tropical rainforests are generally located near the Equator and can
