Mating

Rooms filled with heads mounted on the wall. Beautiful, rare and wild species fill the room around you. Glass eyes watching your every move. How does this make you feel? How do you think the animals on your wall feel? They don't, because you killed them. Trophy killing needs to have harsher penalties, it is utterly brutal. Animals suffer for minutes after being shot, all for your pleasure. Imagine your family and friends being shot around you then hung on the wall. Hunters get permits to hunt…

giraffes swing both legs on the same side at almost the same time during their walk, known as pacing. This movement is lost, however, when the giraffe breaks into a gallop. Giraffe feet are the size of a dinner plate with a diameter of 30cm. Before Mating, the Female Giraffe…

400 mile odyssey, the longest migration for a land mammal on Earth. The drilling sites and roads being built on this foreign land would throw their species into confusion, causing them to definitely be separated. This would lead them to reduce their mating and significantly reduce their population. According to Lauren Bettino and Hank Moylan in their article Impacts of Oil Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a native-Alaskan tribe (the Gwich’in tribe) depends on these caribou as…

Like a myth coming to life, chameleons have a “superpower” that we wish we had: genetic camouflage. Though tons of animals can do this, the chameleon is the most iconic. They use this ability to heat up, communicate, warn off predators, or to find a mate. Scientists have studied how they do this in order to see if this can aid the human race. This research paper is on the process in which chameleons change their skin tone and how they survive with such a unique ability. Pigment causes skin…

Evolution is the change in the heritable traits and genetic codes of biological populations over successive generations which can give rise to biological diversity. Generally, evolution also define as the process which modern organisms have descended from ancient ancestors and the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth. The genetic differences that are heritable will passed on to their offspring or the…

Breeding gliders If you’ve ever wanted to do a fun animal hobby for a little extra money, then I would highly recommend breeding sugar gliders. Gliders look like exotic flying squirrels and originate from Australia. They are marsupials, and relate more to the term “flying possums” than flying squirrels. However, anyone interested in breeding gliders- or any other animal for that matter -must ask themselves this: “What does it take to breed sugar gliders, and am I really prepared to take on this…

Kangaroos don’t fight very often, but when they do it is typically over the females in their mob. They will fight each other by biting, kicking, and boxing, but they rarely ever hurt each other in the process. Whoever ‘wins’ the fight will earn the mating…

The cutest most microscopic critter in the deep ocean just might be the dumbo octopus. It has large, rounded fins on its body that resemble the ears of “Dumbo, Walt Disney’s animated elephant.” And like the adorable little elephant, the dumbo octopus uses those big “ears” to get around. It’s biome is the aquatic Marine. Dumbo octopus can be found typically in every ocean in the world. Although, the dumbo octopus is a deep sea animal that lives on the floor of the ocean at extreme depths. The…
