The Collared Peccary is from the phylum Chordata and class Mammalia. They have a pig-like snout, it has gray and brown hair. Around their neck they have a white or yellowish collar. They get as long as two to three feet tall and stands about one and a half feet tall. They cannot handle cold which is why they live in hot environments. They are found in Arizona, Southwest Texas south to Argentina. They lived in brushy desert areas that are usually near a water source. They travel in herds to look for fruits, nuts, berries and grass. Their herds are composed of 6-30 individuals. According to nature works the dominant male of the herd will mate with the females as they come into heat (2017). If there is more than one female in heat at the same
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
Habitat: Their habitats are on crops, arable and waste land, gardens. Commonly on footpaths and in
The Mountain Pygmy-possum Burramys parvus is one of five living species of pygmy-possum, all of which are classified within a single family. () The Burramys parvus have a body which is 10-12centimetres long when it becomes mature. The long tail (13-16 centimetres) is prehensile; it can be curled up to grasp branches of shrubs or carry nesting material. The Burramys weight varies during the course of the year but averages 35-40 grams. () Bogong moths are a vital food source for Burramys when they awake from hibernation. () The breeding season for Burramys is associated with several events that may prompt breeding activity: the equinox (equal day night length), the loss of snow cover, and the arrival of the Bogong Moth). Male Burramys move to
An environment with a lot of vegetation and their preys is ideal for them. They are perfect hunters with ability to stalk their prey with patience and stealth. They then capture their meals with one strong leap. These animals live in solitary or in territories. One unique thing about them is that the females do not share the same territory with each other. Territories for males usually tend to overlap. The territories are established with scent markings and the size varies extremely. The size ranges from twenty five to thirty square miles for males and five square miles for females (Sunquist & Fiona
Never has a black panther been documented in North America. Adult males can reach a length of seven feet from their nose to the tip of their nose. On average, adult males are around 116 lbs and females weigh around 75 lbs. Kittens are usually grak with dark brown or blackish spots and five bands around their tail. As they get older, the spots will fade and almost completely go away at six months old. Their bright blue eyes slowly turn to the light brown straw color around the same time. A plan for genetic restoration and management of the Florida Panther was developed in september 1994. Where non-pregnant adult female texas pumas were released in areas of South Florida from March to July 1995. The introgression has decreased the rates of genetic defects of Florida Panthers. For Reproduction, most activity occurs from December to March with most births occurring between May and June. Primarily panthers hunt white-tailed deer and feral hogs for prey. Feral hogs are consumed more in the north, while white-tailed deer are consumed more in the
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.
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.
They are very fast and can be able to run within short distances using the most minimal time. It takes less than 10 seconds to run within a distance of approximately 100 meters. While the animals move around they try to monitor the environment as quadrupedally and monitoring of the environment can be able to take as much as up to ten minutes in any case they have doubts of where they are, this alerts them of any predators. Consortship is a situation where the two animals would stay close to each other and monitor the movement and environment of each other. This is done as long as the animals are out in an environment that is not seen as being friendly. The patas can be seen to be less vocal and they move around in silence, they make certain noise only once when they have seen a predator. The noise or the sound takes just a few seconds as long as the danger is taken away
When these animals are infants, they spend most of their time in trees. As they grow older, they mostly slither around on the ground. This proves that their size and attitude is very interesting, (Mostly their size is
Peyote was originally described in 1560, however it was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that botanists were able to conduct field research and correctly classify the cactus (Anderson, 1980). Field studies have concluded that there are two distinct populations of peyote which represent two species. The first and most common, Lophophora williamsii extends from southern Texas reaching south to the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi. The second and least common of the two species is Lophophora difusa, which occurs in the dryer terrain of the Mexican state of Queretaro. This species differs from the more common species by, "being yellowish-green rather than blue green in color, by lacking any
Peyote is a species of cactus that grows in regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is most well-known for

The Bantam Cock played an important role, describing and showing the full depth of Mr. Ewell and his lies. Scout, Jem, and Dill decide to go watch Atticus, defending a black man, who is wrongfully accused of rape. Everyone from all around is flooding in a steady stream to the town to see the outcome of the trial. The children watch the trial, realizing how unfair it was for Tom Robinson. The Bantam Cock was used by Scout to describe the “cockiness” and pride of Mr. Ewell as he progressed up, strutting like a rooster, to the stand to be testified. Mr. Ewell showed confidence, even though he was lying in front of the judge. My item, The Bantam Cock, displayed that Mr. Ewell attempted to accuse Tom Robinson because he was afraid that
The aim of this investigation is to look at the distribution of the ornate limpet, (Cellana Ornata) and the radiate limpet (Cellana Radians) on the rocky shore. We went to the rocky shore of Sirens rocks between Island Bay and Owhiro Bay, on Wellington’s South Coast. We are studying how our chosen organisms affect each other’s distribution patterns. We sampled in the low tide zone, mid tide zone, and high tide zone. The rocky shore we explored was 80 metre long, rocky terrain, bare rock platforms with rock gulley’s.
