The Dangerous Megatherium

Thylacoleo carnifex or 'Marsupial Lion', weighing at around 120 kg, was the largest mammalian predator in Australia. The megafauna was found Thylacoleo was capable of grasping or slashing its prey with the long sharp claws on its semi-opposable thumb, then stabbing with its large incisor teeth. These animals were common across most of Australia during the Pleistocene period. They became extinct about 50,000 years ago.

The Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth is approximately the size of a house cat, ranging from 45-60cm. Like all sloths it has long limbs and a small head for the size of its body. Sloths’ fur hangs ‘backwards’ compared to other mammals, lying from the stomach to their back. This enables the water to run off while it is in a tree. Sloths do not have visible toes but instead have long claws. In this species they have three claws on each foot, which enable them to hang from the branches of trees (2). The brown-throated Tree-toed Sloth can also be distinguished from other species by its brown fur and upturned mouth, giving the sloth a constant ‘smile’.

The second grade of primates evolved about 53 million years ago, in Eocene epoch. There are five tarsier species that all live in the islands of Southeast Asia, where they inhabit from tropical forest to backyard gardens (Jurmain, et al, 2011). They are considered to be closely related to lemurs and lorises (prosimian family) for the several traits that they share with Grade I primates while having some anthropoid features as well. However, tarsiers have distinctive characteristics that isolate them from other primates. They are categorized as the smallest creatures among the primate species and they are well known for their enormous eyes which is as large as its brain. They are normally nocturnal insectivores but sometimes carnivorous. They catch insects by jumping at them and as they jump from tree to tree, they even hunt for birds while in motion.

It does not have any, it is the apex predator or the highest in the food chain. Bears

This is some facts about the two toed sloth. The sloth is interesting because of all the stuff the do and how they

Roman society was pretty complex. Starting as a monarchy and ending up as a republic played a key factor in the roman society. Rome hold values into their gods and religious beliefs. The romans got their social status based of wealth, royal bloodline, and ranking in the army. Romans always used war to gain new territory which helped them gain better methods that they used to shaped the way their society was upkept. Rome was founded in 753 (BC) in Palatine Hill by Romulus the first king of rome.

This rodent is much different that others because it can build structures up to 3 feet high. The

The migration to forested areas would explain why archeologists only find the remains of giant ground sloths from a certain period of history. Because heavily forested areas have so many more scavenger animals that would destroy a carcass. The change in habituation would explain the decrease sightings. How it could be proven: Comparing the skeleton of Bigfoot to one or more species of ground sloth could indicate whether or not Bigfoots belong in that category. Unit connections: Ecology (migration, habituation), Evolution (extinction and endangerment of ground sloths)

According to Martin’s perspectives he has indicated that extinction swept the way approximately half of 200 species of large mammals, for example, anteaters and sloths in the last 50,000 years, late in Quaternary. By establishing dates from the fossils of different, the author believes species went extinct and whether the extinction was sudden or gradual.

A federal judicial vacancy occurs when a judge is either elevated to a higher court or when they reach senior judge status, creating an empty seat on the bench. A judge, beginning at the age of 65, may retire at their current salary or take senior status after performing 15 years of active service as an Article III

For many years scientists have thought that Tardigrades were extraterrestrial beings, but their evolution paths can be traced back to organisms on Earth, 520 million years ago. This means that the Tardigrade has survived all of the mass extinction events, that is not an easy feat. Your adaptations have to be godly, your structure would have to be ideal, you would have to almost immortal...

Does he still roam the seas? Does he eat the dolphins, whales...anything? Megalodon,(Big Tooth). That is his name. He has been around for 2.2 million years and has been around since the Cenozoic Era or WAS? People think that Megalodon is extinct, not real, a myth, but with all the evidence the researchers need, I think we have our answer. There are so many things about Megalodon that people don’t know about but there are some things that people do know about like how long is Megalodon? Looking at his name, you can tell he is...well...MEGA. He is about 62 Ft long. WOW but if he’s big, his teeth have to be big, right? His teeth are 7 inches long. This shark doesn’t eat fish or small things. He eats Blue Whale, Dolphins and pretty much whatever

These people have given detail of its features and characteristics. Bigfoot is described to have a rancid odor which is smelt from miles away. It can weight up to 1,000 pounds and it reach higher than eight feet in length (Gaffron, 16). Its footprints tell a lot about Bigfoot as well, from them scientists deduce his extremely wide strides of six to eight feet, the four inch to 24 inch foot size, and the unusual disproportionate width of the ball of its feet (Fahrenbach). With all its obvious differences Bigfoot also shares common traits with primates, for example the hair some bone structure, and a minimum mental capacity.

They described the beast as having a long neck followed a large body (see photograph 2) and they watched it until it left the road and entered the water.

Sloths are living things because in order for them to survive they must get energy, move and grow, reproduce, protect themselves and adapt to their environment. Everyone knows sloths are slow, but did you know sloths move so slow algae can grow on their fur? Sloths are slow moving mammals. They are native to Central and South America. They live in the trees of the rainforests. They provide a habitat for many other organisms that live in their fur. Some of the organisms that live in the sloth’s fur include moths, beetles, fungi and algae. Their dirty fur creates an ecosystem for other life.
