pears, false mesquite, sotol, ephedras, agaves and brittlebush. The spiny nature of many plants in semiarid deserts provides protection in a hazardous environment. Many plants have silvery or glossy leaves, allowing them to reflect more radiant energy. These plants often have an unfavourable odor or taste. Semiarid plants include: Creosote bush, bur sage, white thorn, cat claw, mesquite, brittle bushes, lyciums, and jujube. Animals 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
It accumulates in the ponds, runs in the streams or tumbles in the cascades. It contributes to the expression of nature and symbolizes renewal, calm, wonder and continuity in the hereafter. Stones. They are laid out in accordance with strict rules, depending on their shapes and sizes; they often are twinned by pairs. The type of stone to use is one of the most important element, in the design of a Japanese garden. Lantern. Originally intended to guide the visitors during nocturnal celebrations, its light was also considered as the light of knowledge clearing away the clouds of ignorance. Placed near water it provides an architectural element which contrasts with the natural components of the garden. Bridges. They may be built of wood, bamboo, earth or stone. Whether they are rounded, arc-shaped or in zigzags, they always remain in harmony with the surrounding nature. Carps. Indispensable inhabitants in the pond of any Japanese garden, carp bring a
Other colour variations: there are also unconfirmed reports of a "blue" or slate coloured tiger, the Maltese Tiger, and largely or totally black tigers, and these are assumed, if real, to be intermittent mutations rather than distinct species. Biology and behaviour Tigers are essentially solitary and territorial animals. In the wild, tigers mostly feed on larger and medium sized animals. Tigers are thought to be nocturnal predators, hunting at night. Even with their great masses, tigers can reach speeds of about 4965 kilometres per hour (35 40 miles per hour).

on its edge. The tail is long, and ends with a dark tuft of hair. Both sexes have tightly spiralled horns, which are relatively straight. In males the horns form a wide "V" and can grow to 120 cm (4 ft) in length, slightly longer than on females. Ontogeny and Reproduction Gestation Period: 9 months Young per Birth: 1 Weaning: After 6 months. Sexual Maturity: Females at 15-36 months, males at 4-5 years. Life span: Up to 25 years. Primarily nocturnal, Giant Elands are highly nomadic, with large home ranges and seasonal migration patterns. During the day, herds often rest in sheltered areas. A gregarious species, Giant Eland herds usually consist of twenty or more animals and do not disband during the wet season, suggesting that social rather than ecological factors are responsible for herding. There is no evidence of territoriality, and males rarely display aggression, even during the breeding season. Giant Eland are alert and wary,
Animals Due to its isolation New Zealand has unique wildlife. Most of New Zealands land animals have been introduced from other countries. Deer and rabbits as well as cattle, sheep and pigs were all brought by the European settlers. Two species of bats ar the only native mammals. There are no snakes in New Zealand. New Zealand has many native birds including the kakao parrot, the kea, the weta and the kiwi. A kiwi is a flightless nocturnal native bird, and the national bird of New Zealand. It has nostrils at the end of its beak and a good sense of smell. It is now endangered, and difficult to see in the wild. It lives in undergorund burrow and it can be quite fierce. The kea, or the mountain parrot, is the only alpine parrot in the world to live on the snow. It can live up to 20 years. Many species of animals are endangered. Culture The people of New Zealand have a high standard of living
They are about 60 cm long and have a third "eye" on the top of heir heads; tuataras sleep during the winter, and they use the third eye to wake themselves up in spring. New Zealand's moa was the only wingless bird ever known. The giant moa, one of eleven species of moa, was also the tallest known, standing up to 3 metres. Maori hunted moa, and it is believed the birds became extinct around 400 years ago. A kiwi is a flightless nocturnal native bird, and the national bird of New Zealand. It is now endangered, and difficult to see in the wild. However, there are a number of `kiwi houses' at zoos and wildlife parks. While they may look cute, kiwi can be fierce and highly territorial. However, over the years, New Zealanders have become known as `Kiwis' as well. Just to confuse you, the kiwifruit is often called a `kiwi' in Europe and America. Maori culture is a rich and varied one, and includes traditional and contemporary arts.
" them. When he selected "his card" (Pushkin does not say ace, but "svoiu kartu"), the alleged ace must have been before Ger- mann's very eyes. Yet, when he turned the card over, the "queen of spades screwed up her eyes and grinned. At one point Pushkin confides to the reader that "the Countess had by no means a bad heart." Trusting Pushkin, I would like to suggest that Germann was ruined not because of the Countess's ill will but rather in spite of her goodwill. During her nocturnal visit, the Countess made it clear that she came to Germann against her will ("ia prishla k tebe protiv svoei voli"). She also reveals the three cards to him against her will: "mne veleno ispolnit' tvoiu pros'bu." In both cases the Countess seems to act on behalf of some other involved party. But then comes the unexpected move: "I willforgive you my death, under the condition that you marry my ward, Lizaveta Ivanovna. "49

Wombats are Australian marsupials; they are shortlegged, muscular quadrupeds, approximately one metre in length and with a very short tail. The name wombat comes from the Eora Aboriginal community who were the original inhabitants of the Sydney area. Wombats dig extensive burrow systems with rodentlike front teeth and powerful claws. Although mainly crepuscular and nocturnal, wombats will also venture out to feed on cool or overcast days. They are not as easily seen as many animals, but leave ample evidence of their passage, treating fences as a minor inconvenience to be gone through or under and leaving distinctive cubic scats. Wombats are herbivores, their diet consisting mostly of grasses, sedges, herbs, bark and roots. The Tasmanian devil and the Tasmanian wolf are the only carnivores among marsupials and are almost extinct
