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 sourcesBehavior 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.
