Solenodon a venomous species of mammals only one of the family Solenodontidae. They are nocturnal animals that live in burrows and eating insects. And they are mammals who have supposedly primitive character of these species already exist at the end of the dinosaur era.

Solenodon is one of two species of Caribbean soricomorphs family. It remains unclear whether the family Nesophontidae extinct during the Holocene has a close relationship with Solenodon or not.

There are two species of Solenodon still alive today is Cuban Solenodon (Solenodon cubanus), and Haitian Solenodon or Hispaniolan Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus). Solenodon other two species have gone extinct during the Quarternary.

Solenodon appearance resembles the figure of a very large mouse. Muzzle length is flexible, and the Haitian Solenodon there is a ball-and-socket joint at the bottom of them to improve mobility. This allows them to get narrow crevices where prey they usually hide.

Solenodon body length of about 28 to 32 cm measured from tip of nose to rump. Solenodon weight of about 0.7 to 1 kg. This rare animals fairly easily agitated, so they are prone to bite even with very minimal interference and accidental.

Solenodon has some pretty interesting properties, two of which are nipples on females Solenodon position very close to the buttocks, and Solenodon saliva coming out of two turns poisonous fangs.

Symptoms resulting from exposure to toxins Solenodon among others depresei, labored breathing, convulsions, and paralysis. Even in a test using mice, when exposed to toxins Solenodon in large quantities can result in the rat experienced death.

Solenodon main food is insects, earthworms, and some invertebrate animals. They also feed on dead animals with backbones, and some are preying on vertebrate animals are still alive as small reptiles, and amphibians.

Solenodon have a good sense of smell that is used to locate prey. After finding prey, Solenodon will use both front legs to turn left-right move the prey, then move her head to prey on such prey. Solenodon also have sharp claws that will help in the hunt for prey.

Solenodon birth to her son in the hive. Usually in all their labor will give birth to one or two chicks. Solenodon puppies will be with its mother for approximately 7 months, and usually they will hang on the nipple of the mother long. And when fully grown, Solenodon are solitary animals, they are very rarely communicates with another except for mating.

Both species Solenodon currently in endangered status due to predation by raccoons, especially civet species Herpestes javanicus auropunctatus that in the colonial period were trained to hunt snakes and rodents such as cats and dogs ..

Cuban Solenodon once considered extinct, before in 2003 found the species they are still alive. Hispaniolan Solenodon also had declared extinct because their population is very small, and their behavior is still poorly understood.

Human development in Cuba and Hispanola also aggravate Solenodon population. Their habitat becomes deprived of the impact on narrowing of the spread, and reduced their population. The animals also became one of the very rare animal.

Monito del monte / monkey small mountain is a small monkey that lived in South America (Chile and Argentina). Monito del Monte is the Spanish term for calling Little Monkey. But the name is deceiving. Monito del Monte is actually a marsupial that lives in Chile and Argentina. He is a mammal species considered extinct more than 11 million years ago. However, modern explorers discovered the creature.

This little monkey has a body like a mouse with brown fur and big, pointy ears and long tail. It distinguishing the animal was a big eye size and the fact that he lived in the trees of tropical forests. Then, a long tail that has help overcome can swing from tree branches. These animals are nocturnal and arboreal. They live in the bush bamboo Chilean Valdivian temperate rain forests of the southern Andes. Prehensile tail tree branches. These animals feed on insects, other small invertebrates and fruit. The body length is 11 to 12.5 cm. 9-10 cm long tail.

They make a nest like a ball of leaves that hold water in the tree. The leaves are then coated with moss or grass, and placed in protected areas. Nest is sometimes covered with moss shaped gray camouflage, and equipped with some protection from the cold, either when active or when it hibernates. They typically store fat at the base of the tail for winter hibernation.

Allegedly their ancestors from Australia. They immigrated in two continents are connected through the Antarctic in the early Cenozoic. Primitive animals such as mice that lived about 55 million years ago.

Monito del monte usually reproduce in the spring. Females have pseudovagina, and a fur-lined pouch. Monito del monte adult children remain with the mother after weaning. The age of sexual maturity they were after the age of 2 years.

Komodo dragon (Varanus Komodoensis) is a large lizard species found only in a few islands in the Indonesian archipelago. Was first known to the world in the First World War, the Komodo actually a species 'Monitor Lizard' which has grown on the island were isolated for millions of years, which has led to her developing very large. Komodo is not only the largest lizard in the world, but also one of the most aggressive and powerful that he was able to hunt prey that size is many times more than its size alone. However, the existence of dragons is now in danger of extinction due to loss of their natural habitat, poaching, and also a decline in the amount of their food.

Komodo is a large reptile that can grow up to three meters long and weigh 150kg. They are very strong with a stocky body, strong legs and a tail that is used for hunting and fighting. Komodo has long claws and sharp curve that is often used to dig the soil. Komodo also has a greyish brown bark that is covered with small scales and folds around the neck. Komodo has a head that is relatively small compared to the large body size and wide, powerful jaws that hides her mouth filled with the deadly bacteria. Although dragons have good eyesight, they do tend to rely on odor perceived through bercabangnya long tongue. By removing his tongue out, dragons are able to feel the scent particles in the air to find prey at a distance of up to 8 km. Komodo is known to have fifty types of toxic bacteria in saliva. Toxic saliva that is used as the main weapon dragons to hunt their prey. Toxic saliva that is produced by the venom glands are found in the mouths of dragons.

Komodo

Komdo limited only found in five islands in Indonesia which are all included in the Komodo National Park. The five islands are Komodo, Rintja, Gillimontang, Padar and the western tip of Flores Island. In the five islands, the Komodo dragon is often seen in open forests with dry savanna, on the hillside thickets, and can also be found inhabiting a dry riverbed.

Komodo is a solitary predator (alone) is strong surf hinga area 2 km per day depending on size. They are also known as an excellent swimmer, traveling from one island to another with relative distance away. Although they are solitary animals, known to some dragons will often gather together. When hunting prey, dragons can secretly hiding for hours in the vegetation are well camouflaged by the skin of gray to wait for passing prey animals. Komodo then suddenly menyergapan prey with speed and incredible strength. The first attack dragons usually only hurt their prey with some bite. Buruanya usual prey will be able to escape. However, because in the mouth of dragons are very deadly bacteria, the prey animal will die within 24 hours.

When the breeding season comes (in September), jantah komodo dragons will do perkelahan with another male. The fight is done by standing on their hind legs and propped up by their tails, to win the right to breed with local females. After mating, the female Komodo lay up to 25 eggs in a hole he dug in the soft sand. The eggs will mentetas fter incubation period lasts between 8 and 9 months and they will be totally independent of when they left their shells. However, the pups will stay and spend most of his time on the tree until they are big enough to take care of themselves on the ground. Komodo tend to live for an average of 30 years in the wild.

Komodo dragons are carnivores that hunt down and kill large animals to survive in the surrounding natural habitat. Komodo dragons are capable of killing prey much larger than themselves ukuranya their own bodies. For larger prey, dragons usually ambush their prey and injure the body with bite that is filled with bacteria. Komodo then follow their prey for until she died of poisoning caused by the deadly bacteria from the mouth of the dragons. Large mammals that prey hunted dragons are wild boar, goats, deer and even horses and buffalo. In addition, the dragons also seen to prey on small animals in trees such as snakes, lizards and birds. Sharp and jagged dragons teeth and, therefore, they could not chew. Instead they rip their prey carcasses by pulling back into their mouth and then swallowed whole aided by their neck muscles flexible.

In fact, dragons are the most dominant predators in the habitat. Therefore adult dragons have no natural predators in their natural habitat. Komodo is an animal cannibals. Adult Komodo dragons will devour the smaller and vulnerable. To that end, the young dragons usually spends most of its time in trees to avoid the larger adult dragons. Komodo biggest threat comes from the loss of habitat due to human development that opened in the original habitat of the Komodo dragon land for settlements and agriculture. Komodo also threatened by volcanic activity on the island is still geologically active that can cause a decrease in their prey species, which in turn affects the dragon populations themselves.

Today, Komodo listed by the IUCN as endangered species. Though once widespread dragon populations on various islands in Indonesia, they are now limited only in five of Flores island with a population of between 3,000 and 5,000 head only. Komodo uniqueness makes it a tourist attraction in itself. It makes people who coexist with dragons trying to protect native habitat dragons where they still survive.

Hippopotamus is the term for mammal native to Africa that is easily recognizable thanks to body fat, large snout, short legs, his dark skin, and his habit of spending time with a soak in the water. Bathing habit is precisely what led to the hippopotamus has the English name "hippopotamus", said uptake of the Ancient Greek language, which means "river horse". But despite having frills name of the horse (hippo), hippos did not have a kinship with horses.

Hippopotamus is the largest land animals after elephants on the African continent. Its length reaches 5.4 m, while weighing up to 3.6 tonnes. By looking at her physical appearance is stout and short-legged, hippos seem to only be able to move slowly. But in fact, the hippo was able to run up to speeds of 30 km / h if necessary! Hippopotamus also has an aggressive behavior and did not hesitate to attack other animals that are nearby. Mouth and front teeth were large hippopotamus make any creature that is attacked by a hippo could suffer a severe injury. Behavior which then makes the animal as fierce crocodiles, lions do not even dare to look for problems with adult hippopotamus if not forced.

Bongsor bodied animals can be found in fresh waters, marshes scattered in central Africa, east, west. In the past, the hippopotamus is believed to have a wider distribution can be found in southern Africa and the Nile River to the north. Interestingly, although hippos spend most of its time in the water, hippos are not animals who could swim. Consequently, the hippopotamus was more like spending time by wading in the fast-flowing waters are calm and not too deep.

The main reason hippos spend most of its time in the water is so hippos can avoid the scorching heat during the day. As a further form of protection against the sun, glands in the skin of hippos produce a kind of slimy liquid that absorbs ultraviolet waves and inhibit the growth of bacteria on the skin. The liquid is colorless when first released by glands, but when exposed to sunlight the liquid turns red within minutes. That is why in the past, the liquid is known as the "sweat blood" (blood sweat).

Herbivorous CRUEL AND DANGEROUS

Hippos are herbivores in which plants were the main food is grass growing around the waters in which they live. In the afternoon, hippos spend time with rest while bathing. When the sun goes down, then the hippo out of the water to eat. Hippopotamus also want to eat the carcasses of the animals, but it is rarely done by hippos because their digestive systems are less suited for digesting meat. If you need to clean yourself hippopotamus, hippopotamus will open a big mouth in the water so that the remnants of food stuck in the inside of the mouth of the hippopotamus could be eaten by small fish.

Hippopotamus display behavior that resembles a social animal. Some tail hippos that live in the same habitat will form the group consisting of 10-100 tail of a hippopotamus. The group usually consists of a male hippo as its leader and some tail female hippopotamus and her children. Not infrequently fight broke out between two tails male hippopotamus because the fight over the same area. But the battle between fellow male hippopotamus rarely led to fatal because when one of 1 hippopotamus successfully demonstrate the superior physical strength, the hippopotamus which one normally would relent and go away to another place.

Hippopotamus does not have a specific mating season, but the hippopotamus has kencederungan to breed more frequently during the rainy season. Hippopotamus who had just had sexual intercourse with males will enter a period of gestation for about 8 months. After that, the female will give birth in the water where the number of babies given birth normally only issued once a. Baby hippopotamus later life of its mother's milk until the age of 1 year. The age of sexual maturity in male hippos are 7-9 years old, while the female hippopotamus age of sexual maturity is 8-10 years. Male hippopotamus who have experienced sexual maturity will leave the group to live alone or form a new group.

As a result of its large size and aggressive behavior, hippos do not have a lot of enemies. On the other hand, aggressive behavior also makes hippos often killed by humans. Hippopotamus touted as one of the most deadly animals in Africa as a result of the many people who were killed by a hippopotamus. Along with the reduction of wildlife habitat and the development of human settlements, the friction between hippos and humans became more and more frequent. In addition to the safety factor, other reasons humans kill hippos is to take the skin, flesh, and fangs. By animal conservation organizations IUCN, hippopotamus population is now considered to be included in the category of "vulnerable".

Do you know stingray ,? probably not familiar stingray following is a glimpse of stingrays that you may not know. Stingray is one of the cartilaginous fish, alike shark. They entered the suborder Myliobatoidei of Myliobatiformes, they consist of eight families: Plesiobatidae (stingray water inside), Hexatrygonidae (stingray sixgill), Urotrygonidae (light round), Urolophidae (stingarees), Dasyatidae (stingray whiptail), Gymnuridae ( ray butterfly), Potamotrygonidae (stingray river), and Myliobatidae (eagle rays).

Stingray spines are venomous stings that one or more of the tail, is used for self-defense. Stinger length can reach about 35 cm, the bottom has two fangs like grooves with venom glands. Stinger covered with a thin layer of skin where the toxins are concentrated, some members do not have a sting ray.

Stingrays live in coastal marine waters of tropical and subtropical throughout the world, and there are also species found in warm temperate seas, such as Dasyatis thetidis, and is found in the deep sea, as Plesiobatis daviesi.

This now stingrays are not endangered, but in some species such as D. colarensis, Taeniura meyeni, D. garouaensis, and D. laosensis), conservation status makes them vulnerable or endangered in the IUCN.

Agency stingray and the average is very fortunate for them because they are easily able to hide themselves from the environment. They stir the sand and hide underneath.

Stingrays have eyes on top and while his mouth is on the underside, with this then stingrays can not see their prey, instead they use smell and electroreceptors (ampullae of Lorenzini) which is similar to a shark. Food stingray particularly mollusks, crustaceans, and small fish. At the mouth of a stingray, there are two strong canine.

Green peafowl (Pavo muticus) is one of three species of peacock bird. As with other types of birds found in parts Phasianidae, peacock green also has a beautiful coat. Feathers golden green.

Green Peacock scattered populations in open forests with grasslands People's Republic of China, Indochina, and Java, Indonesia. Previous peacock green are also found in India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia, but all three countries the population is extinct. Although very large, peacock green are a clever bird to fly. In the breeding season, the males dance in front of the tail feathers of peacocks females. Tail feathers cover is opened to form a fan with eye-shaped spots. Female birds incubate three to six eggs.

Physical Characteristics Green peafowl

Peacock green feed consists of a variety of grains, grass shoots and leaves, a wide variety of insects, as well as various types of small animals eg spiders, worms, and small lizards. Often also called the peacock pretty hooked worms.

Jellyfish are marine animals that ugly and dangerous, these animals are not also for eating. However there are a few species of jellyfish that looks very pretty and not the edits, this is a creation of god almighty. Want to know more clearly ?? Here are a few species of jellyfish are pretty and cool.

AEQUOREA VICTORIA

Jellyfish is known by the name AEQUOREA VICTORIA also called jellyfish crystal (crystal jellyfish). These jellyfish can be encountered on the west coast of North America. Jellyfish is physically colorless and transparent tentacles nematocysts that are used to catch prey. Nematocysts and also has been used in research and science because there is a protein called with GFP.

GFP soon is one of the proteins that can form a neon green color blue found on the body Aequorea Victoria. GFP was also used by the scientists to create a rabbit that glows in black light.

Australian Box Jellyfish

These jellyfish are most dangerous. Australian Box Jellyfish they have the shape of a cube, and also the jellyfish is not easy to see because his body is transparent and rapid movement. They goodness mutants and their eyeballs are on their stomachs. Australian Box Jellyfish are the most dangerous animal with nematocysts contained high concentrations. they can kill dozens of people, they also look very intimidating than other jellyfish in the world.

Bathykorus Bouilloni

This is one species of jellyfish that lives at the North Pole. jellyfish species was only discovered a few years ago and a lot of people know about this. they are many who call with Dart Vader. Jellyfish tentacles, there are four primary and four secondary tentacles. At each quadrant has 3 pockets manubrial interradial, is used to hold the toxic tentacles towards the front. This is one method for capturing prey.

Costa Rican Jellyfish

Costa Rican jellyfish Jellyfish have another designation Stauromedusae. Stauromedusae This is the term in accordance with the appearance of strange jellyfish have. Jellyfish body is trumpet-shaped, and is also unique from the jellyfish is that they have a change of phase polyp and medusa in its life cycle. In most species, sometimes directly and immediately developing into adults. Jellyfish can be encountered in Costa Rica that have very hot weather and with a depth of 8000 meters above sea level.

Flower Hat Jelly

From fourth on top of this jellyfish Flower Hat Jelly rarest ie, they are in the waters of Brazil, Argentina, and Japan, this jellyfish has a small size of about 6 inches. Its uniqueness then this jellyfish is known as Formosa Olindias. jellyfish has amazing color is shades of purple and orange and they also have hats neon pink flowers on her head. The hat looks at when tentacles are not used, however these animals have a very painful sting but not to kill humans. They feed on small fish captured by injecting venom with his tentacles.

Black bear (Ursus Americanus) is one bear subspecies are found inhabiting a variety of forest habitats across North America. Black bear is a sub-species of bears with the highest population number even when compared with the number of sub-species of bear in the world. Black bear is also one of only two sub-species of bears that are not listed by the IUCN as endangered. Conservation effort goes well make the black bear population growth with a healthy walk.

Despite their name is the black bear, black bear hair color can vary from black to dark red or brown and even in certain areas, the color black bears could be light brown. Black bears have short, thick fur covering their bodies. They also have a pointed snout, small eyes and ears are larger and more pointed than their relatives that the brown bear. There are some striking differences between black bears and brown bears. Black bears have shoulders and legs and claws are shorter than the brown bear. Short legs and claws that they have made the black bears become much more agile climber than brown bears. So that when they meet, black bears can climb trees faster to avoid conflict with the brown bear. Like all other sub-species of bears, black bears have an excellent sense of smell that is used to detect food. Hearing and vision while black bears are underdeveloped, because ears and their eyes are relatively small.

Black bears are solitary animals (live menyediri) and nocturnal (active at night). Black bears spend most of their time looking for food each day to ensure that they build sufficient fat reserves for the winter. When winter comes, black bears will go to nest, usually located under a tree hollow, where they will hibernate (winter sleep) for months. Time hibernating black bears varies. Black bears that live in the north have a longer hibernation up to 8 months. While the black bears that live in its South section has a relatively short period of hibernation.

Black bear male and female will meet for mating in summer. After a gestation period which lasts for about 7 months, a female black bear will give birth to between one and five children in late winter in the nest. Black bear cubs will stay with their female parent until they are nearly two years and have learned the skills they need to survive on their own. After quite mature and independent, black bear children will perform their own travel.

Although technically classified as carnivores, mostly black bears diet comes from plants. Between 75% and 95% of their diet is vegetarian (depending on the food available at different locations). Black bears usually eat fruits, nuts, grasses, roots and tubers. And to supplement their diet, black bears eat small animals such as insects and rodents. Black bears are also known to young deer hunting, eating carcasses and also be able to catch fish in the river. Black bears spend on average 12 hours a day to eat to build up fat reserves for the winter.

Black bears do not actually have the predators in their environment. However, black bears are common in conflict with grizzly bears alive are much more aggressive in some areas. Black bears often escape by climbing a tree to escape from the conflict with a grizzly bear. Black bear cub who is weak be hunted foxes, and bird meat eaters. Although black bears and humans tend to have a relatively peaceful relationship, they are often persecuted by farmers who fear their livestock being eaten by black bears. More black bear populations are threatened by poaching and loss of their natural habitat due to deforestation.

Red-eared slider is also known as a turtle '' red-ear slider '' or in Latin '' Trachemys scripta elegans ''. This is due to the red color tinge right behind his eyes that resemble red ear. Red-eared slider comes from the southern United States, has a shell color mixture of green and yellow. Durability Red-eared slider turtle makes strong adaptable to any environment. Age turtles can reach the age of 20 years with a maximum length of about 30 cm. Red-eared slider breed by laying eggs. The amount varies between 20 and 45 grains depending on the fertility and weather. Red-eared sliders are usually laying around August to September before the rainy season. and for hatching takes about 3 weeks. After hatching Red-eared slider will soon find the water to grow up. Red-eared slider dark green with yellow stripes and have a red spot on each side of his head. These turtles can be easily distinguished by the lower jaw is more rounded than the type pseudemys more boxes. Hind toes are connected by a membrane like a duck because they are aquatic animals. to distinguish the sexes, males have longer claws on the front legs. while at the female cloaca closer to the shell than males.

Because Red-eared sliders are aquatic animals, therefore we need to put in the aquarium or pond that is comfortable and designed specifically to meet their needs. if we do not want to provide an outside, the aquarium is the best solution for the Red-eared slider. in addition, by using the aquarium, we could be easier to clean. Red-eared sliders are aquatic animals and they dispose of their waste into the water, so if we do not maintain a healthy aquarium or pond then it will become a hotbed for germs and bacteria, to the aquarium and pond should always be clean for the health of turtles hanging from the cleanliness of the aquarium or pond. if not using the filter, clean it every other day. for baby turtles, cleaned every day and do not use products that abresif. For aquarium size can be adjusted to the size and number of turtles owned. aquariumnya the bigger, the better for turtles, because the turtles are growing very fast in the first years. And the recommended water is about 3/4 of the length of the turtle. Of most turtle keepers recommend to use the filter tube 403. Fluval as Red-eared sliders are cold-blooded animals, so we have to keep the temperature stable between 20 ° C to 28 ° C by using the '' submersible heater '' or heating water in the form of a long tube containing coated wire. in addition, we need to provide a basking area for turtles, where turtles can be completely dry basking in sunlight or a special lamp reptiles, because in the wild, turtles will spend the time to bask under the sun. this is very important, because warmer temperatures can increase the body's immune turtles, and Red-eared slider requires UV light to be able to process food properly and absorb nutrients from food. to add a decoration on a pond or aquarium should be careful. for example, want to add rocks, must choose the type of rock that is not sharp because of sharp rocks can injure tortoise shell. then the addition of sand or plastic plant is not recommended, because there is a possibility turtles will eat and can cause serious intestinal complications.

Kiwi bird is one of the species of birds that can not fly. Its body can grow to the size of a chicken, with a weight of 2-5 kg. Natural distribution area of ​​this bird species was limited only in New Zealand. This bird is found in three species, Apteryx australis contained in the three main islands of New Zealand. While Apteryx oweni and Apteryx haasti only found in the South Island alone. Bird is said to live for 20 years this is a bird that is faithful to their partner. Strangely only the females more dominant in the marriage arrangement like this model turned out to be very special and fair. It is very rare even in the world of birds and many privileges of bird kiwi bird is compared with Pets another, How come? The key to the division of tasks. During breeding the female energy will largely be spent to remove the eggs. Although only 1-2 eggs, egg size Kiwi bird unusually large. In addition to its size, the weight of this egg is astonishing, can weigh up to 25% by weight of the parent body! Compared to relatives, ostrich eggs only 2% of the body weight of the mother, and the weight of a human baby is approximately only 5% of the weight of the mother and the egg is incubated about 75 days - 80 days. Therefore, the rest of the work done by the males, including smoothing affairs nest, lay eggs, to accompany the child feeding after eggs hatch. Great right? Kiwi bird's nostrils are almost at the end of the beak, no tail and wings are very small, because the circumstances are very small wings that kiwi bird can not fly. Slim and sharp beak which is in line with the food that is small animals such as worms and other animals. Kiwi bird's nostrils are almost at the end of its beak.

Kiwi bird is nocturnal bird whose life is out and looking for food at night. Kiwi is looking for food at night. That's what makes the kiwi rarely seen by humans. in addition, the kiwi also includes shy birds. To take food from the soil, kiwi bird used to use their long beaks and sharp. Uniquely, the tip of the beak there is a sense penyecap food. His love of food is earthworms, soil insects, fruit bushes, and small animals that smell. kiwi usually live in holes large tree roots. Breeding season is the time to make the territory. Territory size is determined by the extent to which the male voice cries could still be heard. The breadth varies, from only 2 hectares to more than 100 hectares. These birds have only one partner during their lifetime. Unlike other birds outside of New Zealand, who lives with mammals, birds of New Zealand issued a pungent odor while producing wax to protect their feathers. While sleeping kiwi fond folded and head into the half, then cover it with feathers. If the enemy visit, kiwi will save themselves by running.

Currently the kiwi species including a rare animal, then by maketh it as an icon of the State will encourage many conservation efforts and protection for the survival of kiwi from extinction. It turns kiwi bird can only live in the dark. If they are exposed to sunlight, then they will be sick and old can cause death. Kiwi smelled like mushrooms or ammonia. This is what could be causing the species is now threatened with extinction.

Redline freshwater fish Pipefish look like a sea horse straight bodied with a small mouth. Pipefish name is derived from their snout strange shape, like a long tube, ending in a narrow and small mouth that opens upward and toothless. Body and long tail, thin, like a snake. They have a skeleton modified as formed into a thin plate.

There his back fin and gill cover openings placed near the posterior angle. Redline pipefish swim very slowly over the surface of the water, moving slowly drifting like a twig, but if there is interference, he could move quickly.

This fish is very loyal to her partner (monogamy), females only spawn duties only, and male-containing (males have a pouch for storing eggs). In addition to containing, stud duties caring for children until ready to be independent.

Sudan is the name of northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) male left in the world. When it dies, it can be ascertained, northern white rhinoceros also extinct. Only one-horned animal in the world to be the last hope in an effort to preserve their species from extinction. Therefore, do not be surprised if the 43-year-old rhino is now guarded 24 hours. The armed rangers risking their lives in the nature reserve Ol Pojeta, Kenya, Sudan to protect the horn must be cut for the sake of safety, so as not to become a target for hunters.

Sudan was transferred from the zoo Czech Republic in 2009 to Ol Pojeta that has specialized for rhino conservation. The nature reserve was chosen because it has been a success with the black rhino breeding program. White rhino conservation project received a major blow, when a rhinoceros other males died last October 2014. Thus making Sudan became the only hope left. Age was 43 years, adding to worries though a rhinoceros live to the age of 50 years. Displacement Sudan initially expected to push for the breed, but all attempts have so far failed to make Sudan fertilize two females in Ol Pojeta.

Further complicated by the disruption of security and stability in Kenya, by acts of terror from militant groups such as Al-Shabaab. The group massacred 150 students in an attack in Kenya, in early April. The price of ivory has now increased to more than £ 40,000, or about Rp767 million per kilo. Especially for white rhino rhino horn only one in the world such as Sudan, the price can be much more expensive.

The current situation is very sad, considering that in the past this species can move freely on the African continent, from southern Chad, the Congo to Sudan. According to data from the WWF, half a century ago still exist 2,000 white rhinos, but in 1984 only 15 of which are located in the tail of the Congo. When the experts managed to avoid extinction. They can breed white rhinos to be more than 30 tigers in less than 10 years. But the increased poaching of rhinos in the nature reserve and is lost entirely.

Hopes resurfaced when it was discovered a white rhino in 2006. Efforts to breed back the white rhino has so far not succeeded. Efforts to maintain Sudan was very difficult. A total of 40 ranger in charge of maintaining the safety of Sudan, at a cost of £ 75,000 or USD 1.4 billion for the six months.

Dodo bird is a big bird berhabitat on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean that could not fly and become extinct.

Before certainly extinct, the bird is covered with many myths, until finally Harry Higginson and George Clark found the Dodo bird fossil in 1865.

Facts about the Dodo Bird

»The Latin name first given by Carl Linnaeus in these birds is 'Didius ineptus' which means 'dodo incompetent (can not fly)'.

However, this time the scientists prefer to call it 'Raphus cucullatus'.

»The main Predator is the Dodo bird Dutch sailors (and animals brought with them) who stopped by on his way to the Indonesian archipelago.

Dodo hunted by sailors and the first settlers on the island. Although meat Dodo described textured hard, it did not stop the explorers prey on this bird for food.

Dutch sailors nicknamed Dodo as 'valghvogel' which translates to 'disgusting bird' because of the bad taste of the meat.

»Character Dodo in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland inspired by Dodo skeleton stored in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

Contrary to popular myth associated with this bird, author Alice, Lewis Carroll (pseudonym of Charles Dodgson), described this bird as being wise.

Some people believe that the character of the Dodo in Alice books is a metaphor for the writer's own.

»After going through a DNA test of the remaining soft tissue, proved that the dodo is a close relative of the Nicobar pigeon.

Interestingly enough, when Johannes Theodor Reinhardt, a zoologist, put forward the theory that Dodo is a kind of pigeon land, he got a lot of criticism from his colleagues.

»Some of the Dodo bird life ever sent to Europe to be displayed to the public.

Live specimens used as a model because at that time the camera has not been found.

»Tree tambalacoque or dodo tree (Sideroxylon grandiflorum) has been erroneously attributed to the extinction of this bird.

Previously believed that the seeds of this tree have to pass through the digestive tract Dodo in order to germinate.

Lonesome George is the rarest tortoise in the world. He is the only species of giant tortoises on Pinta Island Galapagos Islands were found alive. The Latin name of turtle species are Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni. The rarity and uniqueness George makes him an 'ambassador' of islandas located off the coast of Ecuador, South America. Galapagos Islands known as the home of various species of animals and unique plants that helped Charles Darwin develop his ideas related to the theory of evolution of living beings. Not a single person who knows the age of Lonesome George, but George scientists estimate more than 100 years old.

Age George was not too old for that kind of turtles are known to live beyond the age of a century. George's death be a great loss for scientists who hope he can still survive at least for decades to come. Is actually an attempt to preserve the species Lonesome George continued ever since scientists discovered George in 1972 and then, however, all these efforts have failed. Initial effort is a 'match' George with two female turtles from Wolf Volcano. Unfortunately, the resulting eggs were not fertile. Then two turtles from Espanola Islands that has the closest kinship with the George line imported last year.

Unfortunately, prior attempts 'pairing' is successful, George was first breathed his last. Parties to the Galapagos National Park declared immediately conduct an investigation into the death of Lonesome George, who has become the mascot of the Galapagos. Since the arrival of humans to the islands, the number of giant tortoises decreased significantly. However, rescue efforts were conducted National Park and the Charles Darwin Foundation successful enough to replenish the population of these turtles. In general, the entire population of giant tortoises Galapagos increased from only 3,000 in 1974 to 20,000 tails tail current. Companions anehdidunia.com although Lonesome George is dead in 2012, he had become the only endangered animals in the world.

Vampire deer is one of the animals was found at 60 years ago, and then in 2008 to 2009 the researchers found them back in the province of Nuristan in Afghanistan Area.

These deer are known with fanged deer (musk deer), deer and native Kashmir Himalayas in northern India, the region of Kashmir, Pakistan and the northern part of Afghanistan. These deer were fanged only the males and their use during the breeding season to compete for females.

Fanged deer is endangered, this animal creepy but these animals do not suck blood and fangs are used during the breeding season only.

This produces musk deer are very valuable, it is used in perfumes, medicines and incense. gland in animals is very appreciated and is more expensive than gold. Normally reach $ 45,000 / kilo on the black market.

Have you ever heard of a pangolin? Apparently a lot of people who have never heard of these creatures. Conservation groups say the pangolin is a mammal in the world's most widely smuggled. The US government asked to enter the anteater to the list of endangered animals.

Rosalyn Morrison of Born Free USA said pangolins ever occupy most of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

"Pangolin indeed mammals most threatened in the world today. There are eight species of pangolin in the world, four in Asia and four in Africa. They are mammals and entire body covered in scales from head to tail. The scales are made of keratin, the same elements with nail us, "he said.

Born Free USA and other groups asked for seven of the eight species of pangolin is protected under the Endangered Species Act of the United States. One species had been included in the endangered list.

"Pangolin endangered because in some places in Asia and Africa believe that the scales they have medical benefits. And they are also highly sought after to be taken scales and meat, which in many Asian and African countries are considered a delicacy, "said Morrison.

China and Vietnam is the largest market of illegal pangolin products, and is also the biggest market for ivory and rhino horn.

"Although extremely rare pangolin, many people do not even know if it exists anteater. They could become extinct before people know about pangolin. The reason why many people do not know much about these mammals is because they are nocturnal creatures or night. They are very difficult to find. So it is difficult for scientists to meet with in nature and they also can not be bred in captivity. Pangolin rarely found in zoos. Looks like pangolins are found only in three zoos in the world, "he said.

Pangolin populations declined drastically.

Morrison said, "We found that more than 960,000 illegal pangolin trade over the past decade. So if compared with the number of elephants and rhinos, much less. "

There is a market in the US for illegal pangolin products. Pangolin insert into the list of endangered species will ban the import and sale of the animal, the animal or body part. Morrison said the move will also increase awareness of mammals that has a very long tongue and sticky.

Morrison said the extinction of anteaters could damage the ecosystem.

"They set the insects. They eat ants and termites. So if pangolin extinct, there will be a domino effect on the ecosystem. "

Center for Biological Diversity, Humane Society International, The Humane Society of the United States and the International Fund for Animal Welfare joined by Born Free USA in the filing of this petition to the US government.
