Blobfish, Fish Poor in the World

No comments :
Blobfish is a deep sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae. Inhabits the deep waters off the coast of mainland Australia and Tasmania, these fish are rarely seen by humans.

These fish live in the ocean depths where the pressure is several dozen times higher than at sea level, which is likely to make the gas bladder is not efficient to maintain buoyancy. Instead, the meat of this fish has a density that is lighter than water, it allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy to swim. The relative lack of muscle in the fish is not something detrimental because Blobfish can eat anything floating in front of him. Blobfish eat invertebrates such as crabs and sea pens.

Blobfish

Blobfish is currently facing extinction because of fishing in the sea or because trawl. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Institute USA, blobfish described as large-bodied fish like tadpoles, supple skin like jelly, a big nose, and had a big black eye.

If considered more carefully, blobfish face looks like the face of someone who gloomy and sad. Mucus out of her face even looks like a tear dripping. Blobfish body in general have an average length of 12 inches. The main food of these fish are crabs and lobster.

Blobfish can be found in the waters of southeast Australia and Tasmania at depths of 2,000 to 4,000 feet below the sea. Blobfish was selected as the worst animal after winning the online voting held by Ugly Animal Preservation Society on the website YouTube. The purpose of voting is to show the world community that there is still a lot of biodiversity in the world.

Blobfish threatened with extinction as a result of the action of fishing on a large scale. Although not edible, Blobfish live in water depths similar to other marine organisms that can be consumed, such as crab and lobster.

Thanks to fishing techniques that do not harm endangered species, the scientists managed to capture Blobfish for later study.

Red Panda, The Funny that Adorable

No comments :
Red panda size body length is only 79 to 112 cm, compared with the usual panda average of 150 cm. Hence it is also called the small panda. Tail length of 28 to 48.5 cm, longer than usual pandas are only 16 cm. Weighing between 3 to 4.5 kg, much lighter than usual panda who weighs 125 kg.

Red pandas live in the mountain forests and bamboo forests at an altitude of 1800 to 4000 meters along the southeast slopes of the Himalayas. Wider than usual habitat is confined to a small section Hsifan mountains in western Szechuan.

There are two subspecies of red panda, red panda west (Ailurus Fulgens Fulgens) living, yes, in the western area of ​​habitat, and the red panda Styan (Ailurus Fulgens styani) who live in the area Szechuan (possibly together with panda usual), Yunnan and Myanmar east sea. Styan red panda has a larger body, a higher forehead and yellow rust more than western red panda.
Red Panda, The Funny that Adorable
The food is generally red panda bamboo shoots, grass watering, roots, berries and fruits, and also sometimes eat young birds, eggs, small rodents and insects. On the ground, while running, the red panda arching her back and lifted his tail while directing his hand into each step.

Although the red panda can jump up to 1.5 meters, they avoid it because they prefer to climb. He often lay on a tree branch and sleep there. The red panda is rarely seen in their natural habitat. He asocial and live alone, but sometimes in pairs. If there is imminent danger, he ran to the hole in the rocks or climbing trees.

What right does a panda?

If seen, it really small to belong to the type of panda bears as usual. Panda usual black and white when color was replaced with brown going hard to differentiate with a bear. But when the red panda red discarded and replaced brown, still discovered that he was a red panda. He was too small for the size of the bear. In addition, he timid. Come on, cook bears a coward. This adds to the peculiarity of the red panda panda bears in particular and in general.

Prior genetic studies found, people rely on morphological and physiological studies to classify animals. Thus according to the classification of the red panda old version taxonomy carnivores:

Carnivora> Procyonines> Panda (Ailurinae)> Big Panda (Ailuropoda) and the red panda (Ailurus)
Now this is a new phylogenetic taxonomy pandas and red pandas:

Carnivora> Caniform> Arctoid> Red Panda (Ailurus)
Carnivora> Caniform> Arctoid> Bears (Ursid)> Giant Panda (Ailuropoda)
Research Flynn et al (2000) showed that the red panda is closer to the weasel family (weasel) family than like a panda bear big.

The red panda is almost similar to the giant pandas. Both have some similarities. Red panda and great panda both have five fingers with extra fingers in addition to the five fingers. Actually, this is an extra finger modified wrist bone. They also have the same favorite food, namely bamboo

Red panda or Ailurus Fulgens scientific name is a kind of mammal in the order Carnivora. As the name implies, the Red Panda has a thick fur maroon and black-footed. Round white face with red-brown stripe from the eye to the mouth. Long tail with a ring of twelve red and brown-light criss-cross. Tread legs covered by white feathers, which is useful for keeping the body warm and to walk on the surface of the snow or ice.

This species was first described to the world of knowledge in 1825. The classification taxonomy Red Panda has long caused controversy. Previously placed in a Red Panda bears Ursidae family tribe because it has similarities with the Panda bear, both have five fingers with extra fingers in addition to the five fingers. The extra finger is a modified wrist bone. Red pandas are also placed in a single tribe Ailuridae. But now the species is placed in Procyonidae tribe, because of its resemblance to the animal species in the raccoon family. Red Panda is the only species in a single genus sub Ailurinae and Ailurus.

Red Panda is the distribution area in Central Asia. This species is found in the forests of the Himalayas, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar and Nepal.

Red Panda active in the morning and evening. During the day, they sleep and rest on a tree branch. Despite having the digestive system of carnivorous animals, the Red Panda has a habit like herbivores. Its main food is bamboo, and includes a variety of fruit, roots, grasses, berries and other vegetation. For extra nutrition, Red Panda also eat eggs, baby birds, insects and small animals.

Red Panda females usually give birth to two male cubs. Children panda is blind at birth, and begin to look after three weeks old. Adult males play no part in rearing cubs. Red panda males are territorial animals, they mark the area with a bag swipe their hormones in the objects that are in the wild.

Based on the loss of forest habitat and illegal arrests which continues to trade and to take the feathers and regions and populations where this species is found is limited, the Red Panda evaluated as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. It is listed in CITES Appendix I.

Tsetse fly, causes Sleeping Sickness

No comments :
Tsetse fly is a fly of African origin, known as spreaders of disease. This flies carrying trypanosomes, the parasite of animals which causes sleeping sickness in humans that could be fatal, as well as 'Nagana', a deadly disease in cattle and horses.

There are more than 20 species of tsetse fly, some of them attacking humans. Tsetse flies to resemble flies home, but they grow bigger and wings folded flat on his back so it does not stand out like wings fly home. Tsetse fly long proboscis to penetrate the body of its host. Most of the tsetse fly sucks blood from mammals, but some other kind of taking blood from reptiles and birds. Currently, blood sucking tsetse fly, they can infect its host. Tsetse fly transmits good 'Nagana' as well as sleeping sickness by biting infected humans or animals, pick up parasites and infect the next host.

Tsetse flies do not usually infect humans until the parasite has lived in her body for a few days and has passed through the stomach into the salivary glands. Then these flies will transmit the parasite to anyone bitten. Parasites that infect animals thrive in the proboscis or in the belly of the tsetse fly.

Tsetse fly, causes Sleeping SicknessTsetse flies proliferate slowly. Fly females only produce one egg at a time. Larvae that hatch from the eggs is maintained during a period of growth in its mother's body. When the larvae are already fully grown, larvae will be deposited on the ground. Then the larvae will burrow in the ground before it turns into a pupa.

Tsetse fly bite humans and animals during the day. They live on the banks of lakes and rivers, making a lot of places in Africa unfit for habitation. In some areas, insecticide sprays and cleaning vegetation can control the tsetse fly population growth. Other control program using special traps. Drugs to protect livestock from 'Nagana' is also used. Unfortunately, political unrest in Africa has hampered efforts to control the tsetse
