Author: Marcelle Trethewey
At certain times of the year in the winter, sparse vegetation or drought, a leopard tortoise eat excrement calcified to development aid in the shell or egg-laying; will suck big giraffe bone, using their language, to manipulate bones and out of the mouth to obtain trace elements like calcium and phosphorus.
Wild dogs are not a wild species. They are of natural, evolved in Africa and have retained their current form for hundreds of thousands of years. Wild dogs capture small prey and give the "death shake, shaking the small animal to the rapid side to side movements of their head, which usually breaks the prey neck or back. Wild Dogs usually greater prey to exhaustion and packaging to enter the sweetest of the back of the anus, stomach and groin, with perhaps a dog, held on the nose or lips forcing my head down prey. In this way, the prey is quickly disemboweled and dies
of blood loss and shock. Wild dogs regurgitate to feed the members of the packaging that can not hunt (puppies and adults). This specialized mechanism ensures the survival of all members. Survival for wild dogs depends pack force.
Honey badgers are short tempered, aggressive and very dangerous when harassed or annoyed. They have thick skin that allows them to turn on when the attackers are held. Combined with powerful jaws equipped with large teeth Grinding is a formidable opponent, even lions and leopards tend to avoid them.
The Lions are only true social cats with a matriarchal social. The groups are trained and are based on links between women, not necessarily closely related. Males fight for the right to decide on a territory and have access to her daughters in May, but to form coalitions with brothers, half-brothers or strangers. This improves their chances of maintaining a range of home and does not necessarily impede mating opportunities. Lions defend their territory against members of the same sex. Cats kill by suffocation, or rupture of arteries and the spinal cord.
Black-backed and side-striped jackals a monogamous bonds for life and find another mate only if a partner dies. The men also supports parenting and food supply.
Animals such as cheetahs and leopards use disruptive camouflage discoloration. These mammals use spots, stripes or other patterns on the layer of their body to disrupt the outline, it melts into background; effectively disguise its overall shape.
Most mammals have male scrotum in a thin layer of tissue of the body for the sperm the temperature remains the most viable for the production and viability. In cold weather, the muscles around the scrotum contract, drawing closer to the body for heat.
Some mammals have a 3rd eyelid or haw called nictating membrane, usually located inside of the eye. It moves sideways across the eye and is usually completely or partially translucent. Its purpose is to add the protect the delicate eye and / or to remove dust and debris. Snakes and birds that plunge divers stretching through the protective membrane of the eye before impact with the water.
Leopard, cheetah and wild dogs have dark with a body highly visible and contrasting white patch at the end of the tail. It is used as an easily visible "follow" for youth and other members the pride / pack through the thick grass or bushes. The Lions have a black tip on their tail, contrasting with a light tan body. Observe the warthog comic, which, when alarmed, runs with the tail extended right up to heaven to be easily tracked in the bush.
The Aardwolf is a eater termites with ridges on its mouth that help to catch termites in the five licks per second. They have taste buds on the tongue to prevent abrasion sand as it licks its prey from the surface. Their stomach grind food that is, the teeth can not, and large amounts of saliva to neutralize the effects toxic secretions of prey. When threatened, an Aardwolf consciously makes the mane of long hairs along the neck, back and tail, be look much larger in the hope of deterring an attack.
Spotted hyena cubs have a black coat for the first three months of the life. When the twins were born to women, one kills the other in general. This is because hyenas are a matriarchal society. Hyena spotted females are larger than males, and because they dominate food sources, stay that way. Hyena generally dominate all other predators, except for lion. In numbers they can intimidate and a player to kill lions in particular because of the superiority of the mind team. Female genitalia have changed their appearance to mimic those of men, perhaps linked to the moment where the species has evolved into a matriarchal society. The clitoris has become enlarged to look like a penis which still surrounds the vagina and urethra, which became one of the tracks. The labia mimic a scrotum and the testes "are fatty deposits which shrink with age.
Meerkats, more commonly known as the mongoose and meerkats are easily identifiable by the "sentry position" in which they are upright, the tail down, the front legs at the same time to scan for birds of prey or threats on the ground.
Horn antelope development is mainly based on the men's competition, the defense played a secondary role. Some women, such as Nyala and impala have no horns. Horns that are broken not regrow, with the exception of kudu and Nyala whose horns grow throughout their lives. Other species of horn size to achieve full maturity.
The legs of a red lechwe (antelope) are longer and more powerful than the front legs, helping to make significant progress through to water or wetlands, they prefer to live. They have widely splayed hooves do not sink into the soft substrate.
Kudu and eland could clear an obstacle of 3 meters from a standing position, and the more they move lower, but they still skip reach. It is used while trying to escape predators.
Impala large tufts of black hair near their hind legs, which contain a patch of skin gland called metatarsal gland which contains a slightly odorous substance, may be used in communicating a scent signal to other members of the flock for social reasons and defense.
Dark colored antelope are usually light colored babies. It is a survival strategy allowing the child to take the color of the long grass in which they are hidden until the age to follow their mother. Young buffalo are not colored because they are not hidden.
Giraffe neck vertebrae in September, as is common with most mammals, however, a vertebra can be over 25cm long. The shanks of the giraffe are longer than its neck, the giraffe must bend or splay it legs to drink or of food on the ground. A giraffe's heart, weighing 12 kg must be broad and
powerful to pump blood through the main body and against the gravitational force of the long neck to the head. Its lungs can hold 55 liters of air. A newborn giraffe is about two meters in height with a weight of 100kg. The baby falls to about 2 m above the ground at birth, the female legs bending slightly to reduce the height. The low impact when hitting the ground helps start the lungs breathing.
Hippos are not good swimmers. They are bottom dwellers, keeping slow water acting as dredgers against siltation and vegetation growth. They wear pathways along the bottom, can push to the surface in deep water and slowly return at the base. This is not swimming, because they can not control their buoyancy. Hippos can stay under water for about 5 minutes and drowning in water too deep to reach the surface of the air and therefore require a habitat of slow moving water which is deep enough them to dive, but not too in depth to the surface of the air possible. Hippos can sleep underwater, unconsciously, the elevation their heads on the surface of the air. Baby hippos can suckle under water.
Warthog drop to their knees when rooting. The root is used when the animal cartilage disk on the end of his nose, and its tusks to dig for food. They live in groups called pollsters and most often use the burrows dug by other termite. Warthog burrows enter their back, head protection of the could be within the burrow, and be able to defend the entrance to the burrow quickly.
A male white rhinoceros can reach up to 2 300 kg while the big black rhino weighs around 1 100kg. A white rhino has pointed ears, a flattish back with a bump in middle, and elongated head, a square upper lip for grazing. The young usually runs ahead of the mother and of the tail loop when alarmed. The black rhino has rounded ears, a concave back, a round head, a prehensile upper lip done for navigation. Youth in general runs behind the mother and the tail stands right when alarmed.
All zebras have stripes models, and their left and right modes. There is a greater concentration of capillaries under the black stripes of white, which is thought to help dissipate heat, which attracts more than black.
Elephants can swim well, no need to stay in contact with the bottom. The trunk will be used as a snorkel when crossing deep water. Dust baths or mud after a swim helps protect the skin against sunburn. Breastfeeding calves do not use the trunk to suckle but use the mouth directly.
Pangolins have no relation to armadillos even if they have a superficial look and dietary similarities. They are largely free from predation, and proud lion and the spotted hyena. Because the pangolin when harassed wraps itself into a ball and is protected by keratin scales. These scales are hard with small ridges and have a strong edge. When they are rolled again, but if they harassed other false back of their hand to another, that can inflict a nasty cut or even amputation.
Caracal is one of the fiercest of all cats. Qualified, the secrecy of skilled hunters climbing trees, these kittens will not hesitate to defend itself. Caracal premises are the only cats have ear tufts.
The cooler days bat-eared foxes themselves will be Sunday near a hole SYMMETRICAL lying on the ground, with ears flat to remain discreet. Dens have more than one hole to help them escape predators.
The central protuberance on a horn mature buffalo is Africa called a "boss". Old buffalo bulls often remain in bachelor groups or become solitary. One of their hobbies is wade in the mud that gave them the nickname "daggaboys" meaning mud boys. This is probably because there is a good supply of green grass in swampy areas of wear on their teeth, and because, as they lost on their backs, hair and Rumps they need protection against the sun.
