MARINE TURTLE Definition

Adaptation

Marine turtles are globally distributed and highly migratory, and regularly inhabit the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Aside from adult females which periodically come ashore to nest, and occasional onshore basking by males and females, marine turtles spend their entire lives at sea. They have unique and complex biological traits and life histories that in some cases are not fully understood.

Sea turtles are strong swimmers. The cruising speed for green sea turtle is about 1.5 to 2.3 kph (0.9-1.4 mph). Leatherbacks have been recorded at speeds of 1.5 to 9.3 kph (0.9-5.8 mph).

Forelimbs are modified into long, paddle-like flippers for swimming.

Lions

Habitat African lions live in Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa. They wander a territory of 100 square miles (259 square kilometers), according to National Geographic. This territory consists of scrub, grasslands or open woodlands.

Adaptation Definition Lions are large felines that are traditionally depicted as the "king of the jungle." These big cats once roamed Africa, Asia and Europe. However, now they are found in only two areas of the world and are classified into two subspecies. Asiatic lions live in India's Gir Forest; African lions live in central and southern Africa. Though they look similar, these two subspecies are very different in size, habitat, diet and more.

Special Adaptations. The lion's archetypal roar is used to communicate with other group members and warn intruders of territorial boundaries. Long, retractable claws help the lion to grab and hold prey.

The species' rough tongue helps it to peel the skin of prey animals away from flesh and flesh away from bone.

We are deeply concerned about increasing vulture fund litigation.

The present project, to take place in 2017 and 2018, together with the association Acción por el Mundo Salvaje (AMUS), aims to instigate a programme for improving the habitat and trophic availability of the black vulture; one of Europe’s larger birds of prey, as well as promoting the awareness, sensitization and social participation in conservation work for this species.

Despite having teeth, trout tend to engulf their prey rather than use their teeth to actively grab onto them. To catch food, the trout expands its gills which allows it to suck its prey into its mouth. The actual purpose of the teeth of the trout, both their normal ones and the ones on their tongue known as hyoid teeth, is to rotate fish, such as crayfish, that have spikes that could choke the trout and swallow them tail first.

Trout are usually found in cool (50–60 °F or 10–16 °C), clear streams and lakes, although many of the species have anadromous strains as well. Young trout are referred to as troutlet, troutling or fry. They are distributed naturally throughout North America, northern Asia and Europe.

Polar Bear Polar bears are the largest land carnivores in the world, rivaled only by the Kodiak brown bears of southwestern Alaska. Polar bears sit at the top of the food chain in the biologically rich Arctic. The most carnivorous of the bear species, polar bears feed primarily on the fat of ice-dependent seals. The remains of these seals provide food for

many other Arctic wildlife species, giving polar bears a vital role in their ecosystem.

Polar bears are marine mammals, and spend much of their time on Arctic sea ice. Many adaptations make polar bears uniquely suited to life in icy habitats. Their fur is thicker than any other bears’ and covers even their feet for warmth and traction on ice. A thick layer of blubber beneath their fur provides buoyancy and insulation. The long neck and narrow skull of the polar bear probably aid in streamlining the animal in the water while warming the air that they breathe, and their front feet are large, flat and oar-like, making them excellent swimmers.

Black-tailed prairie dogs once numbered in the hundreds of millions – maybe even over a billion – and were possibly the most abundant mammal in North America.

REPRODUC TION Mating Season: March

Gestation: 33-38 days; pups born in April or May

Grizzly bears are majestic

Grizzly bears are effective hunters and scavengers, with a sense of smell that can detect a rotting corpse from two miles away. This highly attuned sense enables them to find and eat carrion such as moose, mountain goats and even other bears. They also have long, sharp claws, which are useful for digging. With these claws, they easily can uproot plants and demolish the burrows of small, grounddwelling animals such as mice and squirrels, digging them out of their homes and eating them.

Volcano Rabbit The volcano rabbits tail isn't visible to the eye One of the smallest rabbits in the world, this tiny species has very short ears, legs and feet, and only a barely-visible, vestigial tail (2) (4). The short, dense coat is dark brown tinged with yellow on the back and sides, light buff with grey under-fur on the underside, and buffcoloured at the base of the ears (4). This dark colouration blends well with the volcanic soils of the species’ habitat and may serve to protect it from predators. The coat is shed once a year (5).

Their fur helps them blend into the environment.

Volcano rabbits burrow into the grass to hide from predators.

If the active volcanoes erupt, the volcano rabbits small population will become extinct.

Volcano rabbits can grow up to a foot tall.

Sphaerodactylus ariasae is one of the smallest members of the Gekkonidae

family and at an adult length of 16-18mm can curl up on a US dime. They are endemic to Hispaniola and can be found in leaf litter near limestone caves or cliffs.

S. ariasae shares the title of smallest of the amniote vertebrates, which are the reptiles, birds, and mammals, with S. parthenopion from the British Virgin Islands. These geckos are thought to be at the lower physiological limit for reptiles. Their large surface area to volume ratio makes them particularly susceptible to dehydration.

S. ariasae is named for Yvonne Arias, a champion for conservation in the Jaragua National Park, an important habitat for these geckos. They are threatened by deforestation, despite efforts to protect the park.
