Whale There are 13 species of great whale and several species of smaller whales. Whales are large, intelligent, aquatic mammals. Whales have many features that we- other mammals have. Such as four-chambered heart,hair, they are warm- blooded. They are the only mammals, other than seacows , that live their entire life in the water, and the only mammals that have adapted to life in the open oceans. Whales are not fish, because they have lungs and they breath air with them.What is special about the whales is their size. They are enormous. Whales are about 29 m long, height is the 9 sotry building. Many whales exhibit behaviors such as breaching and tail slapping that expose large parts of their bodies to the air. These mammals communicate with one another using whale songs, which often sound very high-pitched to the human ear
a very good climber. Possums move about at night and some of them come to cities to find food in gardens and dustbins. There are more than 40 species of possum in Australia. Some of them are called gliders as they have skin between their legs which they use like wings for gliding from one tree to another. The Tasmanian devil is the only native carnivore that lives on the Australian island of Tasmania. The Tasmanian devil is about one metre long and it is usually black. It eats small mammals and lizards and even dead animals. As it is a marsupial, its babies grow up in its pouch. The Tasmanian tiger (often also known as the Tasmanian wolf) also lived on Tasmania a hundred years ago. It had stripes on its back like a tiger. It was more than 1.5 metres long. Scientists believe that hunters killed all of them at the beginning of the 20th century. The egg-laying mammals are the strangest of all the Australian animals.They lay eggs like birds and feed their young with milk as mammals do
numbers. The south and east were settled before the north and the west because of tropical conditions and these areas remained unpopulated for a long time. As the colonies along the south and east coast developed, they refused to receive any more convicts. From the middle of the 19th century no convicts were brought from Britain to Australia. Wildlife Australia is the only continent on earth where marsupials live; they are also known as pouched mammals and egg-lying mammals. Ordinary mammals live also in Australia and these mammals are mostly imported there. Marsupials are kangaroos, wombats, koalas, Tasmanian wolves and Tasmanian devils. Their cubs are born before they are fully developed. Today marsupials are dying out, cause cats and dogs and rabbits, who were exported to Australia many, many years ago, are destroying the gentler marsupials. There is only one marsupial still alive in the USA today- the opossum. But there are also very strange kind of
Charls Darwin visited the island in 1835, he spent there 5 weeks. Nowadays five of the islands are populated with about 40 000 inhabitants. The name Island of Galapagos means island of tortoises. Every animal or plant had to cross about 1000 km of open ocean to arrive on Galapagos. Despite the trials of arrival, over 560 species of native plants, over 55 species of native land vertebrates and 1700 species of native insect are found on Galapagos. There are no large mammals, the key herbivores are reptiles, and the top predators are birds and snakes. Mammals on the Galapagos include two species of bat, two endemic rice rat species and its most famous mammals - the Galapagos sea lion and fur seal. There can be identified four broad categories of habitat (the coastal zone, the dry lowlands, a transition zone and the moist uplands), each with its distinctive species. Lava Cactus: One of the first plants to colonize a new lava field, the Lava Cactus is
• Poaching, agricultural development, and increasing mining (kaevanamine) and oil exploration have threatened the long-term survival of South America's last remaining bear species. 6. POLAR BEAR • Listed as vulnerable (nõrk), the world's largest land carnivore is one of six bear species threatened with extinction. • The polar bear poulation is imperiled (ohustama) by climate change-induced melting of Arctic sea ice, which the bears depend on for hunting marine mammals. • Pollution, tourism, and oil development are 7. BROWN BEAR • The brown bear, the most widely distributed bear species in the world, was named a species of "least concern"—meaning the bears are not threatened with extinction. • The grizzly, a subspecies of the brown bear, has successfully rebounded in parts of the United States, thanks to U.S. Endangered Species Act protection. • Human settlements near brown bear habitats are
Twenty-five per cent of the world's wool comes from there. Cattle are found mostly in the drier parts of the north and centre and cattle stations cover one-quarter of Australia. The meat from Australian cattle is sold to countries all over the world. Most of its workers do not work in factories or on farms. Two-thirds of them work in shops, offices, banks or schools. Animals, birds and plants. A strange thing happened when ocean blocked off this island continent. Appearently none of the mammals that survived in Australia were of the sort that later changed into the familliar mammals of the rest of the world. The ancestors of cats and tigers, of wolves and dogs, of elephants and sheep just were not there. As a result,the reptilelike mammals that have died out everywhere else in the world are alive in Australia. The higher groups of mammals that developed in the rest of the world after Australia was cut off had to be brought there millions of years later by the colonists.
Animals and plants. Sixty million years ago Australia and its nearby islands were separated from the other world by a great upheaval. They were cut off from Asia by the ocean. Almost no animals visited Australia before English colonists began to settle there. Now a strange thing happened when the ocean blocked off this island continent. The ancestors of cats and tigers, of dogs and wolves, of elephant and sheep just were not there. As a result, the reptile like mammals that have died out everywhere else in the world are very much alive in Australia. Australia is, in fact, a continent-sized museum of ancient animals, modernized along certain lines by their own separate evolution. Two of the strangest animals in the world the spiny anteater and the platypus, only live in Australia. They are reptile-mammals. Another group of Australian mammals are the marsupials. These are the kangaroo and the wombat, for example. They do not lay eggs,

soil. Many plants grow in a low, tight clump - this growth habit helps protect them from the cold and snow. They can carry out photosynthesis at low temperatures and low light intensities. The growing season is short and most plants reproduce by budding and division rather than sexually by flowering. There are no deep root systems in the vegetation of the tundra; however, there are a wide variety of plants that are able to resist the cold climate. The fauna is also diverse. Animals such as mammals and birds also have additional insulation from fat. Many animals hibernate during the winter because food is not abundant. Another alternative is to migrate south in the winter, like birds do. Reptiles and amphibians are few or absent because of the extremely cold temperatures. Because of constant migration, the population continually oscillates. Alpine tundra is located on mountains throughout the world at high altitude where trees cannot grow. The growing season is approximately 180 days
for the plant. This is called photosynthesis. When the weather gets cold, broad leaves are not good for the plant, as they lose too much moisture and get damaged. So the trees cut off the water supply to the leaves and seal off the leaf stems where they join onto the tree trunks. The leaves are not able to produce the chlorophyll that makes them green. The leaves become yellow, red or gold before they dry up and fall off the trees. Animals: A wide variety of mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles can be found in the deciduous forest biome. Mammals that can be found include bears, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, wood mice, and deer. Animals like bobcats, elk, bison, mountain lions, timberwolves, and coyotes used to be found in the deciduous forests, but have been hunted down by humans and almost wiped out. Melting snow in spring and rain during summer provide water for streams and ponds. Many water birds, insects, and fishes are found in this
Serious problems: We are losing species as well as entire ecosystems. As a result the overall ecological unity of our oceans are under stress and at risk of collapse. We are in risk of losing a valuable food source many depend upon for social, economical or dietary reasons. FISHING DOWN THE FOOD WEB As we are fishing down the food web the increasing effort needed to catch something of commercial value marine mammals (imetajad), sharks, sea birds, and non commercially viable fish species in the web of marine biodiversity (bioloogiline mitmekesisus) are overexploited, killed as bycatch (kaaspüük) and discarded (ära visatud), and threatened (ohustatud) by the industrialized fisheries. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? Safe catch limits A constantly reassessed, scientifically determined, limit on the total number of
South American coati Coati`s are very cute animals they have reddish-brown fur and ringed tails, they have black and grey markings on their face. The ears are small and rounded. They weight 3.5–6 kg and total length is about 1 m, half of that beingit´s tail. They usually live in the forest and typically sleep in the trees. They are omnivorous. Females generally live in large groups, consisting of 15 to 30 animals. Males are usually alone. After a gestation period of 77 days, Coatis give birth to 3 - 4 young. The narrow, elongated head ends in a very flexible snout which it pokes under rocks and into crevices in search for food. South American Coatis are also known as: Southern Ring-Tailed Coati Ring-Tailed Coati Ringtailed Coati Coati Coatimundi http://www.waza.org/en/zoo/visit-the-zoo/small-carnivores-1254385523/nasua-nasua http://www.theanimalfiles.com/mammals/carnivores/coati_south_american...
Starch can be applied to parts of some garments before ironing, to stiffen them. Mixing most starches in warm water produces a paste, such as wheatpaste, which can be used as a thickening, stiffening or gluing agent. Slide 3 Starch is the major component of natural food, sometimes taking about 70% of the mass. Therefore it is important to know how starch content and its characteristics like size, cell thickness change starch digestion in gastrointestinal tract. Slide 4 In mammals starch is hydrolysed by enzymes into glucose through several steps. The first step takes place in the mouth were the salivary alfa-amylase reacts, but its efficiency degrades when it reaches the stomach. In the stomach different digestive fluids, which contain starch degrading enzymes, do the hydrolysis. The third step and the majority of starch hydrolysis takes place in small intestine where pancreatic alfa-amylase break the most bonds and creates new products

The tens of thousands of boulders of all sizes and shapes that are scattered all over the territory of Estonia were brought here from Scandinavian Mountains. Scientists know now that the great Ice Age was not the only ice age in the earth's history. Millions of years earlier there were other ice ages. Scientists know, too, that the time we are living in may be just one of the pleasant periods between the times of spreading ice sheets of an Ice Age. What do we know about Ice Age mammals? The woolly mammoth was a prehistoric elephant about the size of a modern elephant.This animal lived near the glaciers. It had a shaggy coat of red hair and a thick layer of fat under its skin. On its head and shoulders were humps like camel's humps. Its wool-coat and its fat helped keep the mammoth warm. A mammoth's tusks curved in to form a kind of a snowplow, and the mammoth used them to push snow away. Then it ate the grass that was under the snow.
about 3,353 metres (11,000 feet). Underneath the ice cover are the ancient rocks of the Greenland Shield, which is geologically related to the Canadian Shield. Drainage is afforded mainly by the so called ice fjords, in which glaciers from the ice caps pass through valleys to the sea, where they form thousands of icebergs each year. The climate is extremely cold, although the south experiences a short summer. The mammals of Greenland are more American than European and include muskox, wolves, lemmings, and reindeer. The varieties of seal and whale, and most of the species of fish and seabird, are also American rather than European. Circumpolar animals, such as polar bears, arctic foxes, polar hares, and stoats, are also found. Greenlanders are a people of mixed ancestry, primarily Inuit and European, especially Danish Norwegian. Nearly all live on the narrow southwest coastal fringe. Fishing, sealing, and
Endangered species The Giant Panda lives in central-western and southwesterns China. Although the panda is a carnivore, he has a diet which is 99% bamboo. Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate. The Giant Panda is endangered as there are only 2,000-3,000 of them living in the wild and about 270 living in captivity. They have become endangered due to the destruction of their habitat and the variety of bamboo that is decreasing. They are also illegally hunted for their fur. To protect them, there have been many special wildlife parks set up. Elephants live in Central Africa and are the largest land animals alive today. They eat grass, twigs and some fruit. In many Asian countries elephants are symbols of wisdom and are famed for their memory and high intelligence.

Koalas live in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave these trees. That is why they are usually called "treehuggers". Koalas have thick, grayish fur, with white on their chests, inner arms, and ears. They have large furry ears and leathery noses.The koala has large, sharp claws to assist with climing tree trunks. The koala is one of the few mammals that have fingerprints. Koalas do not live in big groups, they rather prefer to be alone. Koalas consume eucalyptus leaves and bark from 12 different eucalyptus tree species. Koalas rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time. They can be aggressive towards each other, throwing a foreleg around their opponent and biting. Koalas have become endangered because their habitat is being destroyed. Besides having no living place, it has lost its source of food
This article was published in Daily mail, on 17 October 2011. The author of the article is Tamara Cohen. The article discusses about animals who are shrinking due to global warming. Scientist have warned, that animals such as sheep, deer, birds and reptiles are shrinking due to climate change. Researchers say warmer temperatures over the past few years have made some animals adapt to need less body fat to survive while others are struggling for food. In the next few decades, some types of mammals, fish, birds and plants are getting smaller and evolve into miniature versions of what they are today. This could force some creatures, that people eat, to become extinct, Dr David Bickford from the National University of Singapore reviewed research showing creatures from deer to tortoises, gulls, goshawks and even polar bears have already shrunk over the past 50 years. 'Because recent climate change may be faster than past historical changes in climate, many

The park might appear natural , but in fact it is almost entirely landscaped. Every tree, plant, lake and pond has been planted and made by human hands. Central Park, home to over 25,000 trees, has a stand of 1,700 American Elms, one of the largest remaining stands of in the north- eastern U.S. You can also observe many mammals and birds. Raccoons and opposums who come down from the trees to feed at night, have become extremely common in Central Park in recent years. They even made warnings around certain areas bacause some raccoons can even hurt people. Although not commonly sighted, there are chipmunks and opposums in Central Park. Also there are many water birds for example ducks , and also hawks and other birds.

lived as hunter-gatherers along the coast and in the inland desert areas, following the same lifestyle as their ancestors. 3. Finding food and water Aboriginal tribes obtained water from trees and roots and even squeezed water out of the bodies of frogs. Women collected anything that grew or moved, including fruit, lizards, snakes, roots, grass, etc. Their skill in finding food even in the most extreme conditions often kept the whole group alive. 4. Hunting Large mammals, now extinct (väljasurnud), roamed some areas (hulkusid mingitel aladel) of Australia and provided (andsid) meat for the aboriginal hunters. Other areas were richer in vegetable food, but there was no organised agriculture or domesticated animals. Food therefore was not easy to obtain. Tribesmen recognized the tracks of animals and developed extraordinary skills in tracking their pray. 5. Traditions, arts and beliefs.
Before they were affected by the people, the oak forests spread over the best soils of Britain. Forests were unable to establish themselves in the poorer soils of the mountains, wetlands and heath. The plants common to these wilder areas are heather, peat moss, rowan and bilberry. Some wetland areas have drained and are now covered by towns and farmland. Animal life An estimated 30,000 animal species live in Britain, although many of them are on the endangered list. Britain has many small mammals and the large ones tend to be gentle. The only surviving large mammals are red deer and roe deer. Semi wild ponies also inhabit the Shetland Islands. Once wild boars and wolves roamed Britain but they were hunted to extinction. Small mammals like badger, foxes, otters, red squirrels and wildcats inhabit Britain. Wildcats are found only in parts of Scotland. Britain has five species of frogs and toads and three species of snakes. There are no snakes in Northern Ireland.
such diversity to develop. The seasonal changes that occur across the country mean that the animals have less to eat. Since industrialization began in England in the mid eighteenth century, it has had a big impact on indigenous animal populations. Song birds in particular are becoming scarcer and habitat loss has affected larger mammalian species. Some species have however adapted to the urban environments, such as the Red Fox, which is the most successful urban mammal after the Brown Rat. Large mammals are not very numerous in GB. Many of the bigger species, such as the Grey Wolf and the Brown Bear were hunted to extinction many centuries ago. However, recently, many of these large mammals have been reintroduced to some areas of mainland Britain. The largest mammals that remain in Britain today are members of the Deer family (for example: the Red Deer) Plants The mild climate, ample rain and long growing season support a great variety of plants, which grow exceptionally well

In hot and dry deserts the animals include small nocturnal (active at night) carnivores. The dominant animals are burrowers and kangaroo rats. There are also insects, arachnids, reptiles and birds. The animals stay inactive in protected hideaways during the hot day and come out to forage at dusk, dawn or at night, when the desert is cooler. In semiarid deserts many animals find protection in underground burrows where they are insulated from both heat and aridity. These animals include mammals such as the kangaroo rats, rabbits, and skunks; insects like grasshoppers and ants; reptiles are represented by lizards and snakes; and birds such as burrowing owls and the California thrasher. The animals living in coastal deserts are: insects, mammals (coyote and badger), amphibians (toads), birds (great horned owl, golden eagle and the bald eagle), and reptiles (lizards and snakes). Widely distributed animals in cold deserts are jack rabbits, kangaroo rats, kangaroo
The long, heavy and powerful kangaroo tail makes it all possible by providing balance and stability. Only tree kangaroos can move their hind feet independently of one- another. The wombat is a marsupial rat. The koala or pouched bear lives in the gum- trees. It is the loveliest of all the Australian animals. The Tasmanian wolf and the Tasmanian devil, the only native carnivores of Australia, are almost extinct. The egg-laying mammals are the strangest of all Australian animals. They lay eggs like birds and feed their young with milk like mammals do. They form a link between birds and mammals. The duck-bill or platypus lives in the rivers of East Australia mostly. The echidna or spiny ant-eater eats termites. Of many birds the emu, the Australian ostrich, is the biggest. The lyrebird has got its name from he lyre-like tail of the he-bird. He can imitate all kinds of noises

If someone wants to make clear that he is speaking of the country, he may call it by its full name of Commonwealth of Australia. Sixty million years ago Australia and its nearby islands were separated from the rest of the world by a great upheaval. They were cut off from Asia by the ocean. Very few people and almost no animals visited Australia before English colonists began to settle there in 1788. During all those 60 million years the native Australian mammals developed by themselves, undisturbed by the animals developing elsewhere. Australia is the only continent except Antarctica that is all south of the equator. It's name means "southland". Since it is south of the equator, its seasons are just the opposite of ours. It has summer while we have winter and the other way round. Sometimes Australia is called the island continent. There is a good reason why. It is an island. The Inhabitants
