Spix's Macaw


Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii), also known as the Little Blue Macaw, is a Brazilianmacaw and the only small blue macaw. It is a member of Arini tribe in the subfamily Arinae (Neotropical parrots), part of the family Psittacidae (the true parrots). It was first described by German naturalist Georg Marcgrave, when he was working in the State of Pernambuco,Brazil in 1638 and it is named for German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix, who collected a specimen in 1819 on the bank of the Rio São Francisco in northeast Bahia in Brazil.
The species inhabited riparian Caraibeira (Tabebuia aurea) woodland galleries in the drainage basin of the Rio São Francisco within the Caatinga dry forest climate of interior northeastern Brazil. It had a very restricted natural habitat due to its dependence on the tree for nesting, feeding and roosting. It fed primarily on seeds and nuts of Caraiba and variousEuphorbiaceae (spurge) shrubs, the dominant vegetation of the Caatinga. Due to deforestation in its limited range and specialized habitat, the bird has been rare in the wild throughout the twentieth century. It has always been very rare in captivity, partly due to the remoteness of its natural range.
The IUCN regard the Spix's Macaw as critically endangered and possibly extinct in the wild. Its last known stronghold in the wild was in northeastern Bahia, Brazil and the last known wild bird was a male that vanished in 2000. The species is now maintained through a captive breeding program at several conservation organizations under the aegis of the Brazilian government. It is listed on CITES Appendix I, which makes trade illegal except for legitimate conservation, scientific or educational purposes.
The Brazilian government department of natural resources (ICMBio) is conducting a project Ararinha-Azul with an associated plan to restore the species to the wild as soon as sufficient breeding birds and restored habitat are available.

lion tamarin douradoA blue whale ( Balaenoptera musculus ) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder Mysticeti Cetacea . With up to 30 m2 in length and over 180 t3 weight , they are the largest animals that ever existed that has knowledge.4
Long and slender , the body of blue whales has your back in different shades blue -gray , while its belly is usually more claro.5 There are at least three distinct subspecies : B. m . musculus , whose habitat is restricted to the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans , B. m . intermedia , the Southern Ocean and B. m . brevicauda (also known as the Blue Whale , Pygmy ) , found in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean . B. m . indicates , the Indian Ocean , may be another subspecies . As is the case with other species of the suborder Mysticeti , the diet of the blue whale consists almost exclusively of small crustaceans known as krill, which filter sea water using blades in their corneas cavity bucal.6 However, they may also feed on small fish and squid .
The blue whales were , until the early 20th century , abundant in nearly all oceans of the Earth . Hunted for more than a century , were brought to the brink of extinction by whalers until they become the object of protection mechanisms adopted by the international community in 1996 . A 2002 report estimated that there are five to twelve thousand blue whales around the world , 7 distributed at least five clusters . However , more recent research on the Pygmy subspecies suggests that the current population is maior.8 Before being hunted , the largest group was in Antarctica , with approximately 239 000 indivíduos.9 Groupings remaining current , much smaller, somewhere around 2000 individuals each, are located northwest of the Pacific , Antarctic and Indian Oceans. Two other groups of blue whales are found north of the Atlantic Ocean , and there are at least two others in the Southern Hemisphere
The dorsal fin of blue whales is small , 10 visible only for a short period of time while diving . Through its blowhole , they can can produce jets of water up to 9 m high . The volume of your lungs can reach 5000 ℓ . They are also the loudest animal in the world , can make sounds that reach 188 dB - stronger than the sound of a jet plane - and that can be heard more than 800 miles distância.3

Canis lupus familiarisLinnaeus , 1758
The dog ( Canis lupus familiaris1 ) in Brazil also called dog is a canine mammal and perhaps the earliest animals domesticated by humans . Theories postulate that emerged from the gray wolf in Asia for more than 100,000 years . Over the centuries , through domestication , humans held an artificial selection of dogs for their abilities , physical characteristics or types of behaviors . The result was a wide variety of dog breeds , which vary in size and coat within their own races , currently classified into different groups or categories . The designations mutt ( in Brazil ) or mutt (in Portugal ) are given to dogs breed or crossbreed descendants .
With life expectancy varies between ten and twenty years, the dog is a social animal that , in most cases , accept their owner as the " head of the pack " and has several features that make it useful to man . It has excellent smell and hearing , is a good hunter and running strong , relatively docile and loyal, intelligent and good learning ability . Thus , the dog can be trained to perform a number of useful tasks , like a hunting dog, guard and herder , for example. Just like humans , is also a victim of diseases like cold , depression and Alzheimer's disease , as well as the characteristics of aging such as vision and hearing problems , arthritis, and mood swings .
The affection and companionship these animals are some of the reasons for the famous phrase : " The dog is man's best friend " since there is no record of friendship so strong and lasting between different species as human and dog . This relationship appears in films , books and magazines , mentioning even different reports actual different times and in various nations . Among the most famous dogs who lived and societies are marked Balto , Laika and Hachiko . In the mythology, Cerberus is said one of the scariest beings . In film , Lassie is one of the most widespread and names in animation, Pluto , Snoopy and Scooby - Doo decades are part of childhood for generations.

The black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) is a species of alligator exclusive of South America also known as Alligator-black, is a top predator in the food chain. Adult specimens of large prey can any animal habitat, including other top predators such as leopards, cougars, pythons and anacondas, if they are surprised by these animals. Usually feeds on small animals such as turtles, fish, capybaras and deer. This species was on the brink of extinction due to the commercial value of his leather black color and its flesh. Currently, it is protected and its population is stable in Brazil. It is the largest species of alligator, reaching up to 6 feet long and more than three hundred kilograms. However copies have been found to over 6.5 meters in length and possibly half a ton in weight.

It lives in the Amazon Biome, and there copies in Zoos. There is a type called the snouted caiman alligator.

The boa - constrictor (Boa constrictor ) is a snake that can reach an adult size of 2m (Boa constrictor amarali ) 4m (Boa constrictor constrictor ), rarely reaching this maximum size . Exists in Brazil , where it is the second largest snake ( the anaconda is the largest ) and can be found in many places, such as in the Atlantic , salt marshes , mangroves , Cerrado , Caatinga and the Amazon rainforest.
In Brazil there are two subspecies : the Boa constrictor constrictor ( Forcart , 1960) and Boa constrictor amarali ( Stull , 1932) . The first is yellowish , more peaceful and habits proper to the Amazon region and the northeast . The second , Jiboia amarali can be found further south and southeast of the country , being sometimes found in more central regions of the country .
It is basically a nocturnal animal (which is verifiable by having eyes with vertical pupils ) , yet it also has daytime activity .
Considered an animal viviparous because at the end of pregnancy the embryo receives nutrients from the mother's blood. Some biologists devalue that the end of gestation and consider only the ovoviviparous because, although the embryo to develop within the mother's body , most of the time is devoted to separate egg incubation in the mother's body . Pregnancy may take half a year , and may have 12-64 pups per litter , born with about 48 cm in length and 75 grams in weight.
Detects the prey by the perception of motion and heat and surprises them in silence. It feeds on small mammals (mainly rats) , birds and lizards that kill by constriction , involving the body of the prey and suffocating her . Her mouth is very expandable and has serrated teeth in the jaws , teeth áglifa . Digestion is slow, typically lasting seven days and may extend up to several weeks , during which stands still in a state of torpor .
Animal very docile , despite having a reputation for dangerous animal is not venomous and can not eat large animals , being harmless . It is very chased by hunters and animal traffickers , it has a high commercial value , as a pet . A boa constrictor born in captivity accredited by IBAMA can cost 1050-6000 actual , sometimes more , according to their color .
There is a black market in wildlife in Brazil , because the laws hinder their breeding in captivity , despite the low risk of accidents involved in the creation of this animal . IBAMA suspended license for sale of pythons in the State of São Paulo , despite studies showing that international trade regulations is the most efficient way to combat the trafficking of exotic animals .

Etymology [ edit]
" Jiboia " comes from the Tupi y'bói .1 " Constrictor " is a reference to how python kills its victims : the squeezing and smothering them .
Food [ edit]
Snakes are carnivores that feed on rodents , birds and lizards . The frequency and quantity of food vary according to the size of the animal.
When in captivity , it is common to feed the pythons with small rodents such as mice and young rats . When larger , can be fed rabbits , hares , rats and adult birds ( chickens ) .
Captive breeding [ edit]
Little information has been here in Brazil , on assisted reproduction . Below are some information about conditions suggested for a terrarium home .
It is interesting to reproduce the natural habitat of the animal . For this we need :Terrarium having a length of at least 2/3 of the maximum size of the animal and 1/3 of the maximum size in width and the same measure in height.Hot plate or heated stone to maintain the atmosphere between 25 ° C and 30 ° C. Note that the heating should be done on one side of the terrarium so that the animal can choose between hot side or the other side and thus regulate its temperature .Thermometer at each end of the terrarium to check the temperature gradientHygrometer to verify that moisture should be between 80% and 90%.Lamps UVA / UVB are not required to pythons , unlike other reptiles , which favor abosorção nutrients .A source of water large enough for it to be submerged if desired .Substrate of synthetic grass , bark , litter - types of ground covers nontoxic .
Handling [ edit]
Are normally docile and well adaptable , accepting and handling . It is necessary to observe certain guidelines as well : Always wash hands before and after handling the animal ; Keep the terrarium always clean ; Change the water daily; Remove the animal in the terrarium with a hook always appropriate; Taking care of your eyes , because accidents ( bites ) may occur , and this would be the most dangerous region to be affected .
Always keep movements slow , and at first catch the python always behind the head , first with the index finger and then doing a clamp with thumb preventing the snake frightened and try to bite . Never try to come ahead of python because it can bite . If wild place a cloth over it , support the hook above where the head is (always behind ) , and take first with his forefinger and then doing a clamp with thumb . It is important , a day before feeding the boa , put you exercise for next days will still make digestion. The ideal is to be every 10 days , in the late afternoon (after 16h ) in low pitch .
In general, animals are sweet , but the temper may vary between each individual and according to the method of treatment of it.
Trivia [ edit]
In the world , there is a tremendous variety of boas , being differentiated by the region where they are found and the different staining patterns :Boa constrictor CodensisBoa constrictor DenisensBoa constrictor gordfea ( Price & Russo , 1991)Boa constrictor ocidentalis ( Philippi , 1863)Boa constrictor obesity ( Cope , 1878)

Badgers

Badgers are short-legged animals and stocky, brown or black coat, carnivores belonging to the family dosmustelídeos (Mustelidae, the same family of mammals and ferrets, weasels, otters, and many other carnivores). There are eight species of badger, divided in these three subfamilies: Melinae (badgers of Europe and Asia - see links in species list below), Mellivorinae (the ratel or honey-badger-of), and Taxideinae (American badger). Badger stinky Asian gêneroMydaus used to be included with the Melinae, but recent evidence indicates that genéticas1 2 would actually Old World relatives of the skunks (family Mephitidae). Typical badgers (Meles Arctonyx, and species Taxidea Mellivora) have short legs and are corpulentos.3 The lower jaw is articulated to the upper by means of a transverse condyle firmly attached to a long cavity of the skull, so that movement of the jaw almost impossible. This allows the badger maintain their prey with a maximum tenacity, but limits the movement of a folding jaw in order to open and close or sliding from side to side without twisting motion allowed by the jaws of most mammals.

                                                            IMPORTANT INFORMATION:



The pandas live in the forests of the mountainous regions of southeastern China (this region is its natural habitat)

They live in caves and hollow trees
Despite being carnivorous, feeding mainly on leaves and bamboo shoots. They also eat some insects and eggs as protein sources
Behavior have a docile, quiet and shy. There are rare cases in which a panda bear attacked a human.
Are also called: bear cat, cat bear range and ursine
Unlike other species of bears, pandas do not hibernate during the reverse
During the spring mating occurs, and the cubs, usually two, are born in the winter time
The panda paws have five fingers
The panda bear cubs are born with approximately 2 pounds of weight
They have very strong jaws and teeth in order to grind the bamboo shoots
On average a panda lives for 12 years
This species is in a state of extinction caused mainly by low birth rate, indiscriminate hunting (in the past) and the destruction of the forests where they live. Captive breeding occurs in several zoos and animal research centers around the world

IMAGENSNET: WHITE TIGERS  The HOWLING INFRASONICS

   The Howling Tiger is so powerful and terrifying that paralyzes the victim and can even kill without even touching the Tiger.
   Originating in Eastern Siberia, twenty or 30,000 years living in the White Tiger stepes icy, wet forest and woodland.
   The White Tiger is a solitary hunter and night.
   The white tiger live on average 20 years, and males live less than female, because they are always in confrontation with other males because of prey. The white tiger weighs close to 300 kg, has a 1 meter tall and 3 meters long (with 80 cm tail only).
     His heightened sense is hearing. The view of the White Tiger is so weak that it does not distinguish, besides a hundred steps, the smell of the white tiger is practically nonexistent. The power of the white tiger is very varied deer, pigs and cattle.
     Thanks to the camouflage provided by coloring and drawing his coat, the white tiger can approach its prey without being noticed.
     The female white tigers attract partners emitting a roar. The romance between them is not always violent and sometimes can take a very endearing.

   The White Tiger gestation lasts 103-105 days, and 2 or 3 cubs born at a time. Only the female White Tiger takes care of the puppies after they are born, but if a male is eating and appears a puppy, even if not its it away and let the puppy eat your hunt.
   Today the White Tiger is among the animals most at risk of extinction.
   White tigers are not albino nor a separate subspecies, and the result of a recessive gene. They have blue eyes, nose in a shade of pink with black spots and white coat with light brown stripes.
   The white tiger is a color variant of the Bengal tiger, and it is rare to find it freely in the wild, and most often found in zoos.

        Extinction of Species, Why Should We

Often the media bring news about some endangered species. Mico, manatee and turtle are some animals endangered. But there are many other animals in danger of disappearing forever, as many plants as well.

The science is far from knowing everything about biodiversity, ie, on the set of species and ecosystems that exist on our planet. Even though little information that scientists show, reveal an unbelievable loss and reminds us how much we depend on nature for there to be balance.

The Main causes of species extinction are the actions of man in nature, such as deforestation for urbanization, agriculture or livestock (destroying the natural habitat and breaking the cycle of the food chain); illegal trafficking of species (removal of wild animals for sale the illegal market, many animals die on the way and others are subjected to conditions of poor survival), pollution of rivers and seas also causes loss of species and loss of biodiversity, among others.

                                                    clown fish



Clown fish, or fish-of-anemones is the common name of the species in the subfamily Amphiprioninae family Pomacentridae. There are about 27 species, one of which belongs to the genus biaculeatus, the other belonging to the type genus Amphiprion. It owes its name to the form misaligned as nothing.
So designated species are native to a wide region comprised in the warm waters of the Pacific, some species coexisting in some of these regions. They are famous because of the ecological relationship of proto established with the sea-anemones, or in some cases, with corals. The anemones provide them shelter, despite the stinging tentacles that are immune because of the mucus layer that coats. The clown fish hides from predators in anemones. On the same basis, lay their eggs, ensuring the protection of their offspring. In return, the remnants of food clownfish are used by the anemone. An association that benefits both partners.
In general, each anemone there is a "Harem" which is a large female, one male and other smaller male reproductive not even smaller. In the case of the female be removed from the male reproductive changes sex, Protandry in said process, and most of the male reproductive becomes not reproduction.

                                            white Shark



The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a sort of shark lamniforme, being the larger predator fish existing today. A great white shark can reach 7.5 meters in length and weigh up to 2.5 tons. This species lives in coastal waters of all oceans, provided there is adequate populations of their prey, particularly pinnipeds. This species is the only one that survives today, the genus Carcharodon.

The species Carcharodon carcharias receives many names throughout its distribution area. In Spanish, the most common denominations are shark blanco (white shark) and gran blanco shark (great white shark) (the latter influenced by the official name in English, great white shark) .1
In Spain, the traditional name of medieval origin identifies him as jaquetón (augmentative jack, check in Portuguese), a name accompanied by distinct adjectives also apply to many other species of the family Carcharhinidae. There is also the name jaquetón blanco (white jaquetón), derived from the merger of the former name and the shark blanco (white shark), more popular nowadays. The name marrajo, as it is sometimes called in Spanish speaking countries, can lead to confusion with other species of shark.
In Uruguay, is also given the name of "African" to this specialist. In other countries there are denominations most truculent as "man-eater" in Cuba. In the latter country, is also known as jaquetón ley (jaquetón law), a name that, in Spain, is reserved for the species Carcharhinus longimanus.

                                   Saber Tooth Tiger

                               
    With these two big teeth seems until the tiger saber-tooth had difficulty snatch their victims. But scientists have discovered that their jaws were elastic. Thus, it could open their mouth rather than normal.

Only the bite of the saber-tooth was not his forte - in this regard, the lion is much more powerful, for example. His main tactic of attack was expected the victim to get close, jump on top of it and invest his thick legs. Then yes, the fatal blow was due to the huge canines - he avoided biting the bones of the victim not to break your teeth.

Slow and cumbersome

Considered the largest cat that ever existed, the tiger saber-tooth was not very agile. He did not run at high speed and used his weight as a weapon.

There are scientists who believe that he was terminated because of this lack of agility. There are also theories that climate change may have made the beast disappear from the planet.


                             
                            

The powers of the tiger saber-teeth:

The pointed canines reached about 20 centimeters.
The jaw muscles were elastic - so he could open the big mouth without fumbling with fangs.
Paws large and heavy desferiam violent blows on his victims.
Shorter legs and two times stronger than the guaranteed strength of a lion attack.
The short tail indicates that the tiger was not very agile, as fast as the cheetah cats use the tail for balance during the hunt.
