Habitats

Body The habitats in which carnivory is found include Bogs, Serpentine Fens, and epiphytic habitats. The main similarity between these environments is their lack of nutrients. In bogs this is caused by a low pH which means that they are acidic. In these acidic habitats nutrients are not able to be recycled. This is due to the fact that many of the organisms that would recycle these nutrients are unable to function at the low pH levels. In serpentine fens the low nutrients is cause by the amount…

relations between animals and people, and this goal is evident throughout the Zoo’s walkways and exhibits. As I walked throughout the Zoo, I noticed that the animal’s exhibits closely resembled their natural habitats. With further investigation, I realized that these exhibits must resemble natural habitats in order for “animals to be psychologically and physically active” (Nationalzoo.si.edu). This relates to the big idea that Biological systems interact,…

i believe that giraffes are a great part of the ecosystem. A giraffe’s habitat is in africa, usually they roam around in tall grasses and open planes. They can also survive in woodlands, giraffes will move to anywhere they can find food. Their home range is between 8 and 50 square miles, their natural habitat seems to be shrinking due to humans building roads. Their habitat is getting smaller and smaller leading them to going back to the same feeding areas before it has really had a chance…

Introduction: One of the Victorian ecosystems that interested to me and that is Red Gum. It is generally found at low altitudes (below 500m) in low to medium rainfall area (250-1000mm) with best suited to flat/ gently rolling country with near watercourses or on alluvial soils due to the periodic floods. Ecosystem of the Red Gum varies across the state due to the climatic and geographic range. One particular Red Gum site is listed on the Living Murray initiative which is Barmah-Millewa Forest,…

and survive through their habitat. They are at the top of the food chain in the wild. The grey wolf has many characteristics, too. There structure and anatomy is different than other wolves. The gray wolf is also called the Timber wolf. They come in many colors including grey, black and white. Its length is 50-70 inches from nose to tail and 27-32 inches from shoulder to shoulder. It has 42 teeth for ripping through flesh. They are endangered because habitat loss and humans kill them.…

Climate change, as well as pollution and many other factors, are threatening the polar bear’s natural habitat. This marine species are dependent on the ice to be able hunt to get their energy source and survive in the Artic. Unfortunately, the quantity of the floating ice in the Arctic region is diminishing every year. This ice loss is caused by the global warming and some factors of anthropogenic origin. These animals are becoming sick as a result of the pollutants that get to the Artic Sea.…

The animal I classified was the snow leopard. Basic information that I will be researching about the snow leopard are it's habitat, food, size, and it's features and adaptations. In the summertime a snow leopard usually lives in alpine areas that elevate from 900 to 5,500 meters. Alpine areas are areas that mountainous and steep with high altitudes causing it to be windy and cold. In the winter, snow leopards migrate to lower altitudes. These areas where snow leopards live are located in 12…

project I was trying discover and understand the balance between terrestrial and aquatic habitats, how they support each other by the transmission of nutrients and oxygen between the two habitats. The goals that were devised in class were to observe the various cycles such as the nitrogen cycle, the phosphorus cycle, etc. My hypothesis for this experiment was that the terrestrial habitat would support the aquatic habitat by transmitting nutrients and other abiotic necessities, I also thought…

Tapirs are interesting creatures that are bizarre looking, while they play a major role within their habitats such as, seed dispersal and nutrient recycling. Although, Tapirs have also become endangered as well as in need of conservation. In spite of this, many don’t know what a Tapir is, what is threatening them, or their role within the habitats. Tapir has the build of a pig combined with the snout that is similar like an elephant, also has striped or spotted coats that camouflage them…

paper is that zoos will keep animals from going extinct, zoos help you learn more and see more of your animal, and that zoo gives safety and also security to the animals. It will kind of help them from going extinct. The animals are in an enclosed habitat that gives them security to not be poached. So they don’t go extinct by going hungry because there getting all of their nutrients. Because zoos are highly intelligent and do a lot of research to find…
