The White Tiger is a subspecies of a Tiger, found throughout the Indian subcontinent. Although the population of the White Tiger is humongous, these animals are super rare as their fur color is dependent on a defective and recessive gene that is passed down by their parents. Over the past couple of centuries, the White Tiger has become even more rarer in the wild due to hunting or capturing an exotic pet trade, with there having been no recorded sightings of these majestic beasts for the past 50…

One of the main species of interest in Indonesia is shrimp, vannamei is the dominantly farmed species. Figure 4 below shows that shrimp makes the highest earnings in export value on a per kg basis among fish and seaweed that are produced in an outstanding quantity. Establishment of vannamei has revived the industry and strengthen shrimp’s position as Indonesia’s main fishery export commodity by value. It is estimated that 2011 shrimp export contributes around USD 1.5 billion contrast to around 1…

Introduction: What is a harmful problem that waves cause? Tsunamis cause mass destruction and death whenever they hit land. Tsunamis are seismic sea waves/ huge ocean waves that are created by undersea disturbances and earthquakes. There are 3 main types of tsunamis: local tsunami, regional tsunami and distant tsunami. A local tsunami affects coasts less than 100km away from it's source and generally hits within an hour of occurring and sometimes within 10 minutes. Local tsunamis are…

America’s most diverse estuary.” It is home to more than 4,000 species of plants and animals including sea turtles, seahorses, manatees and a bottle nosed dolphin that lives only in the Indian River Lagoon. The Lagoon’s many seagrass beds and mangrove mud flats are home also to numerous sea creatures — oysters, clams, shrimp, crabs and fish — who depend on the nurture of this rich and fragile habitat. The lagoon holds one-third of the United States’ manatee population and more than 50 other…

One kind of eagle is the bald eagle. The bald eagle is from the genus Haliaetus leucocephalus. The bald eagle's head, neck, and tail are white, and…

They are most often found in the willows. The most common trees include willows, alders, and cottonwoods all across North America. In the winter the yellow warbler lives in the mangrove forest, dry scrubs, marshes, and forest, typically in the lowlands. They can also be found in open-canopy riparian woodlands. The yellow warbler is dependent on both meadow and non-meadow riparian habitats in the Sierra Nevada’s. The current conditions…

and 10 species of sea mammals are recorded in Hong Kong. (Wong, 1993) In the areas of these country parks and special areas, the habitat can complete retention, for example, like trees, grass, shrubbery, ponds on land and beach, mudflats, wetland, mangrove forests by the sea. These country parks and special areas provide the sustainable and stable environment for the development of Hong Kong biodiversity. Also, they can clean the air, adjust the local climate, prevent soil erosion, prevent the…

Their extended bodies are surrounded by bony rings with small gill slits (Zubi, 2004). Their fin patterns and distributions are different than those for other bony fish. They have no pelvic fins, small pectoral fins, and one dorsal fin (Zubi, 2004). The pectoral fins turn the Seahorse and aid in steering, while the dorsal fin moves it forward. The coronet of the Seahorse is its most distinctive feature, helping in identification as the thumbprint does for humans (Zubi, 2004). Seahorses are…

We have reasons to believe a larger group is inside of these jungles. Remember, this is a scavenging mission. Do not engage. Stay frosty. The maze of mangroves. The hot and humid air. Only the half shape banana lit the sky with a spotlight. Whilst they ranged through the grass jungle, needle-sharp creatures fly and land on the lump of muscles. The eerie sounds of the rainforest animals filled the skies…

The hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin), also known as the stinkbird, or Canje pheasant, is a species of tropical bird found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco Delta in South America. It is notable for having chicks that possess claws on two of their wing digits. It is the only member of the genus Opisthocomus (Ancient Greek: "wearing long hair behind", referring to its large crest) which in turn is the only extant genus in the family Opisthocomidae.
