They are usually found in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia and bred during the summer months. They inhabit the freshwater and saltwater habitats and nest high in trees, marshes, swamps, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, impoundments, lagoons, tidal flats, canals, ditches, fish-rearing ponds, flooded farms and fields and feed on fishes, frogs, and small aquatic

    Essay On Water Moccasins

    • 763 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Water Moccasins are primarily active at night, but they bask in the sun during the day. Because they spend much of their time in water, and water draws away heat more quickly than air, they must somehow maintain a high body temperature, particularly for their digestive metabolism. Water moccasins are semi-aquatic and can be found near water and fields. They inhabit brackish waters and are commonly found in swamps, streams, marshes, and drainage ditches in the southern lowlands of the United States. They also live at the edges of lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams and waters.…

    Many different animals develop different strategic foraging behaviours to survive the winter months. The black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus) are a songbird that can be observed throughout North America and remain year round even during the cold winters (Templeton, Greene, & Davis, 2005, 1935). During the winter the chickadees form an average flock size of about six to eight, but this number can vary (Templeton, Greene, & Davis, 2005, 1935). In the flock there is a social hierarchy and the dominant individual demonstrates certain behaviours such as vocalizing, bluffs threat, chasing, displacement or fighting to state its dominance (Barkan, 1990, p. 393, Hartzler, 1970, p. 429; Odum, 1942, p. 521). Dominance in a black-capped chickadee is observed when one individual known as a subordinate submits to the dominant individual that is perceived to be more prevailing in…

This field trip was a nice break from the fast-paced urban lifestyle that I have been living since moving away from home. Our excursion began at the bird-of-prey aviary. There were several types of birds at the aviary: eastern screech owls, turkey vultures, barred owls, great horned owls, and a bald eagle, to name a few. At the aviary, I learned that barred owls are best known for a call that sounds like, "Who cooks for you……

    Cod Fishing

    • 722 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The once abundance cod in Petty Harbour had now dwindled down in number, resulting in a number of ramifications on fishing within the town. As a result, fishing for cod had significantly declined and became strictly regulated in Petty Harbour. The Canadian government enacted legal action that prohibited fishing for groundfish, such as the cod, in the Grand Banks, Newfoundland waters, and a majority of the Gulf of St. Lawerence. A program called the Sentinel Fishery, the only legal cod fishery in the region, was implemented to allow for collaboration between resident fishermen and government scientists in ensuring and measuring cod stock. Furthermore, a ban allowing only conservative fishing equipment (i.e. old-fashioned handlines and traps) was put into place by fisherman to outlaw more harmful fishing practices since there is not enough space to allowing for such practices to be conducted.…
