Gröönimaast - kokkuvõte

Gröönimaa vetes ujub umbes 225 kalaliiki, osa järvedes ja jõgedes, osa meres. Piisavalt on ka erinevaid putukaliike. Kuna meie ekspeditsioon kulgeb valdavalt mööda mandrijääd, ei kohta me loodetavasti rannikuil toitu jahtivat jääkaru. Samas loodame ekspeditsiooni lõpuosas saada osa Gröönimaa elusloodusest ja ehk õnnestub kohata mõnda põtra või muud looma. http://www.greenland-guide.gl/animal_life.htm ehk siis loomade pildid ja txt In Greenland whale watching can be enjoyed from the streets or even from your hotel room. During the late summer and early autumn whales swim close to the coast and are sometimes seen in the harbours. But of course the best way to spot these huge mammals is at sea. Whale-watching tours are offered in several towns in Greenland. When you sail along the coast on a passenger ship, the captain will often notify you when whales are close. There are many different species of whales in Greenlandic waters including the

and the surrounding ocean. The total land mass is almost 8,000 sq. km. Highest peak is Wolf Volcano reaching 1707m. The present islands are all younger than 4 million years and were formed separately from other land masses as a result of volcanic eruptions. The Galapagos were discovered in 1535 by Fray Toms de Berlanga, the Bishop of Panama. He was sailing from Panama to Peru when he accidentally discovered the islands. Islands became a favorite hideout for Pirates and the favorite location for whale hunters. After whales were locally cleared the whalers went there for tortoises, an estimated 200 000 or more adults had been removed. The island of Floreana was populated with a group of convicts' in October 1832. 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

Humpback whales

individuals or about 3035% of their original population before whaling. Humpback whales are generally curious about objects in their environment. Some individuals, referred to as "friendlies", approach whalewatching boats closely, often staying under or near the boat for many minutes. Because humpbacks are often easily approachable, curious, easily identifiable as individuals, and display many behaviors, they have become the mainstay of whale watching tourism in many locations around the world.

loss. Alpine animals also have larger lungs, more blood cells and hemoglobin because of the increase of pressure and lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. This is also true for people who have lived on mountains for a long time, like the Indians of the Andes Mountains in South America and the Sherpas of the Himalayas in Asia. 6. What animals live in Arctic and Antarctica. Arctic-reindeer, polar bear, Arctic fox, narwhal, walrus, seal, ox, moose, orca, and snowy owl Antarctica- blue whale, emperor penguin, weddell seal, octopus, sea star 7. Why is tundra so wet? The warmer weather in summers causes a layer of permafrost, ice that never goes away in the ground, to melt, creating bogs and shallow lakes that don't drain. 8. What is snowline? A snow line is the point above which snow and ice cover the ground throughout the year. The actual snow line may seasonally be significantly lower. 9. What is treeline (timberline)

They are experts at escaping predators like the wolf, bobcat, or lynx. When a predator chases it, the rabbit will quickly change direction. They are also good swimmers and will jump in the water to make an escape. Polar bear Polar bear is the largest carnivore on land. The polar bear's fur is clear, not white. Light reflects off the fur and makes it look white. Their teeth and claws are very sharp so they can catch their prey easily. They hunt and eat seals, whale and walrus carcasses. In the summer they also eat lemmings, arctic foxes, ducks and some plants. They live for 15 to 20 years and spend most of their time on drifting packs of ice, eating and resting. The bears reach sexual maturity 3 to 5 years after birth. Each year pregnant polar bears dig a den in the snow of southern facing slopes, where they give birth. The females give birth to one or two cubs. Cubs are naked, blind and deaf when they are born
