Hippos, The Big Mouth are hooked Bath
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".

Pari fish on animals that have venomous spines
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.

| Fish Pari Picture |
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.

Sumatran tiger small size makes it able to move with ease in the dense forests of Sumatra. Sumatran tiger is now an endangered tiger species with only about 500 individuals suspected of being in the wild.
Sumatran tigers are native animals that are only found on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Sumatran tigers can be found in various habitats from lowlands to highlands, forests in the mountains until the peat swamp forests.

Scorpion as Pets Unique
For some people, the scorpion is an animal that is scary and horrible, so naturally, probably because the animal is venomous, and has a body that is frightening, but for the hobbyist rather, they are very cool, unique and exotic, and also not all scorpions have can be dangerous for humans, in general can be of arachnid serves to paralyze prey for easier prey eaten, scorpions usually very harmful to humans even lethal kind Androctonus, Tityus, Leiurus quinquestriatus, Parabuthus and Centruroides.
Scorpion deadly generally located in north africa and the middle east, they live in the desert, for example, is Death Stalker with the Latin name Leiurus quinquestriatus, the sting of the scorpion species is very painful but usually harmless for healthy adult human, unlike if stung children and parents who have heart disease or those who are allergic, but still we have to be careful with all kinds of scorpions, especially with species such as the above, but if you see a scorpion, try not to kill him, because they will not be strike unless disturbed atapun pinched. Another unique thing of scorpions is if they are exposed to ultraviolet light (violet), the body will fluoresce or glow in the dark.
Distinguishing Scorpions Dangerous
How to distinguish a dangerous scorpions are harmless and actually quite easy, the greater the smaller claws and tail, the lower could, on the contrary, if the smaller and the larger claws tail, the higher the can of the scorpion. because if large claws they hunt more use tweezers to hold prey and rarely use tail and sting, like a flat rock scorpion that has large claws and tail are very thin. as well as Emperor scorpion. otherwise like Fat Tailed scorpion which has a fat tail and claws are so thin, very clear kind of scorpion like this is very dangerous for humans, but that does not mean the type of scorpion can not be maintained, many of the penghoby which maintains scorpion very dangerous, but very not recommended for beginners to maintain it.

Dangerous marine animals Sea Anemone
Often mistaken for plants, creatures this kaleidoscope has a variety of colors. They have a proboscis or cangkram basal to the center of the mouth openings emanating from this cangkram, such as tree branches.
Have at least 10 to hundreds of poisonous tentacles. Its powerful poison which allows the animal to move became paralyzed and move prey into the mouth opening and activate the digestive system.
Stranglehold in the middle, we can see there mouths. It is actually the mouth and also useful as an anus. They will enter the food can be ingested internally and the rest will come out through the same hole. The most dangerous part of this strange animal is deadly secret weapon. Each tentacle covered with stinging cells, a kind of harpoon fired toxic if exposed to the touch. Each anemones have a mechanism that is capable of capturing prey, so all the tentacles that exist in the sea anemone will have nematosista or set nematosista at the end of the tentacles or maybe along the tentacles. Currently, there are touching the tip of tentacles harpoon will be fired and attract prey.
Not all vertebrates are affected by tentacles that have this deadly poison, several species of anemones develop a symbiotic relationship mutualism with other animals. Small anemones attach themselves to the shells of mollusks obsolete occupied Hermit crab (Kumang / hermit crabs / hermit crab).
Large anemones dwells in rocky reef, providing protection from predators for clown fish (Clownfish) or clownfish named scientific Amphiprioninae. Clown fish live and hide among the stinging tentacles of sea anemones. Then why not clown fish anemone toxin shock? Because of mucus protection cover clown fish act as the sole obstacle to death by the poisonous stinger. Anemones hell's fire is one of anemones that are dangerous to humans and can provide great suffering on the people affected by the sting.
If the skin is touched anemones hell's fire, not only resulting in pain and swelling effect, but the same neurotoxin cause spoilage of meat on the spot stung as well as damage to muscles and nerves that long. Affected by this sea anemone long the healing process will run. So resist the urge to touch the wonderful creatures such as sea flowers beautiful course with a seductive and elegant dancing.

Tsetse fly, causes Sleeping Sickness
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 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

Know the Jaguar, Cat strongest in the Americas
Jaguar is one of the big cats (Panthera) that still exist today. Its appearance is similar to a leopard, but Jaguar is a different species, because the leopard is the species Panthera pardus, while Jaguar is a species of Panthera Onca.
Jaguar is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. They are the third largest cat species after the tiger and lion. And is the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
Jaguar deployment includes the southern US and Mexico, most of the Americas and Central and Southern parts of Paraguay and Argentina to the northern part. But Jaguar is estimated to have gone extinct in the United States since the beginning of the 20th century.
Leopard pattern on their bodies is very similar to a leopard, but Jaguar tend to be larger, and also have characteristics more similar to a tiger. The most preferred habitat of a jaguar is the dense rain forest areas (dense rainforest).
Jaguars are solitary animals (solitary). They will wander off alone except for a female jaguar who care for their children. They are the pinnacle of the food chain in their territory. So that they play an important role in maintaining the forest ecosystem to ensure the availability of game animals.
Jaguar has a dependency with water that is strong enough, so they tend to stay in areas close to the river flow. They also include a large cat who likes to swim.
Jaguar has a very strong bite. The strength of the bite can penetrate layers of tortoise shell and allows it to kill its prey with an unusual method. They will bite and crush the skull prey and give a fatal brain injury prey.
Jaguar populations are currently in endangered status. The amount continues to decline. This is mainly due to the narrowing of their habitat which impact on food shortages. They also are often killed by humans, mainly due to a conflict with farmers in South America. However, although the number has declined, its spread is quite wide, it is estimated that the amount is still quite a lot in the wild.
Just as an aside, Jaguar is a symbol of the god of the Mayans. And they are the strongest stray cat in the Americas.
Animals Hyena Turns Ever Human Prey
Human hair has been found in hyena poo showing that these animals never takes ancestors in Africa about 250,000 years over lalu.Rambut found in a fossil found in the Sterkfontein Valley caves Gladysvale in South Africa. Researchers from the University of Witwatersrand believe that hyenas actively hunted carcass our ancestors or scavenged dead bodies. Another hair shows that hyenas share their environment with warthogs, zebra, impala and kudu, as well as hominins.
Human hair has been identified in fossil hyena poo on a finding that suggests that our ancestors had also fallen prey to this wild animal.
The fossil was discovered a few years ago in a cave Gladysvale in South Africa, but only -new has been analyzed by the scientists who identified the hair.
African researchers believe that hyenas actively also consuming our ancestors who lived around 257,000 years ago or scavenged some of the bodies and swallow the hair.
But according to reports Discoveru News, they do not rule out that the animal is only a tasting snack human hair found somewhere.
According to researchers at the University of Witwatersrand, dung fossils are part of a "hyena latrine" found in a cave in South Africa Sterkfontein Valley.
Gladysvale is a cave complex systems consisting of several basement reached the depth of about 65 meters.
Phillip Taru and Lucinda Backwell, author of the study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, said that the brown hyena explore savanna grasslands as they do today.
Another hair indicate that these animals share their environment with warthogs, zebra, impala and kudu, as well as hominin ancestors or tribes in Africa. The scientists focused on the examination pattern of scale and cross-section of hair to identify fossil hair.
The researchers said: "The lack of hair scales have been documented in human hair subject to pathology.
They even suggested that our ancestors had a lot of hair damaged by abrasion due to inhabit crevices of rocks that could reduce the number of scales were found in the hair.
A total of 48 hairs were taken from 12 fossil using fine tweezers and examined using a scanning electron microscope.
They identified the origin of the hair using standard guidelines and compared with a sample collection of 15 mammal of southern Africa.
These findings support earlier identification of fossils of human hair and gives scientists a better picture of the Middle Pleistocene mammals local communities, as well as insight into the environment in which humans appear archaic and modern humans who live in the interior of the African continent.

Cone snail venom
Hundreds of toxins
There are about 500-600 species of cone snails. Everything is toxic. Well, the cone snail can have about 200 types of toxins. So, imagine if all kinds of toxins from cone snail species put together. Thus, it can be collected tens of thousands of types of poison!

| Death stalker scorpions, Leiurus quinquestriatus |
Please note that all species of scorpion can have. In general, it can be included as a scorpion neurotoxin. An exception is Hemiscorpius lepturus which could have cytotoxic.
The composition of the neurotoxin consists of a small protein, as well as sodium and potassium, which is useful to interrupt the transmission of neuro victim. Scorpions use venom to kill or paralyze their prey so easy to eat.
More scorpions can function against other arthropod and most scorpions are not dangerous to humans. stings produce local effects (such as pain, swelling). However, some species of scorpions, particularly in the family Buthidae can be harmful to humans.
One of the most dangerous is Leiurus quinquestriatus, and members of the genera Parabuthus, Tityus, Centruroides, and especially Androctonus. Scorpions are most likely to cause the death of human beings is Androctonus australis.
Ancient scorpion emerged in the mid-Paleozoic period, about 400 million years ago. Unlike the scorpion in general, simpler forms of ancient scorpions. His body consists of many segments sheltered thin shells.
Another difference is the size of her body, several types of ancient scorpion that reached 100 times the size kalajenking today, 2 to 3 meters. In addition, the ancient kalajenking also live in the water.
Below are a few types of scorpions are quite harmless to her. some of which nothing can deprive human life.
Death stalker scorpions, Leiurus quinquestriatus
Type: Terrestrial, Opportunistic Burrower
Origin: Middle East and North Africa
Size: 10-13 cm
Temperament: aggressive
Deathstalker is known as a species that has the most deadly poison venom is a mixture of various toxins so powerful neurotoxin that can cause pain that is unbearable, then fever, followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death.
Fortunately, for a healthy adult human, although painful, but can not kill. Small children, the elderly and infirm individuals (eg weak heart) are at high risk groups will be death if this scorpion sting.
Arabian Fat-tailed scorpion scorpion, Androctonus crassicauda
Type: Terrestrial dessert
Origin: Middle East and North Africa
Size: About 10 cm
Temperament: Not too aggressive
Fat-tailed scorpion or Androctonus is one of the most poisonous scorpion species in the world. name aj "Androctonus" which means man-killer. Among all species Androctonus perhaps the most danger is Arabian Fat-tailed Scorpion, the poison he had could rival Deathstalker poison.
Toxins that this species had also consists of neurotoxin. This species jwb responsible for the deaths of several people each year. While this is still being debated who is the most deadly scorpions, whether Deathstalker or Arabian Fat-tailed
Yellow Fat-tailed scorpion scorpion, Androctonus australis
Type: Terrestrial
Origin: Middle East, North Africa, India
Size: More than 9 cm
Temperament: Sometimes aggressive, sometimes calm
In accordance with its type is the type of "Androctonus", yellow-tailed fat is a type of very deadly, although it is not as strong poison Arabian Deathstalker or fat-tailed, fat-tailed yellow poison can kill a person within 2 hours, if not immediately given the serum. Getting the serum is also not too easy, even in the United States alone in the serum is very difficult to obtain.
Spitting Thicktail scorpion Black Scorpion, Parabuthus transvaalicus
Type: Opportunistic Burrower
Origin: Africa
Size: About 12 cm
Temperament: Moderately aggressive
Why this kind of earned the nickname Black Spitting Thicktail Scorpion? This is because they can shoot them as well as cobra venom. poison that they can be sprayed up to within 1 meter, and when exposed to the eye can cause a feeling very sore and temporary blindness, but it can become permanent blindness if toxins are not immediately cleared.
His ability is what makes it is considered a species of harmless enough, but the toxicity are not considered lethal. even so toxic that possessed this kind of dangerous for children and people who are allergic to these toxins.
Striped bark scorpion scorpion, Centruroides vittatus
Type: Opportunistic Burrower
Origin: North America
Size: 5-7 cm
Temperament: aggressive pretty
Like most other scorpions, this species is also easily found around their habitat. But because of its proximity with humans, this type (although not aggressive) quite often harm humans. The sting is very painful.
For some people can occur for 15-20 minutes and not infrequently up to 2-3 days. but this type is rarely causing death, some reports suggest that this type are responsible for the death of some people, but it's all still being debated.

Lion
Although he has the nickname "king of the forest" are actually lions have never lived in the forest. Lions are the only social cats in the world. They were so cooperative when they hunt this may be one reason why they have evolved to have a bite of the weakest of the other big cat species. Another reason may be that their hunting habits, strangle their prey by biting his trachea, do not have a need for a strong bite.
Tiger
Is the largest species of the big cat family types. Tiger bite is stronger when compared with lion bite.
Hyena
Just as lions hyenas are social animals that hunt in groups, hyena bites a strong bite in the animal kingdom.
Bear

Megalodon Shark and Dangerous World
This is the biggest giant Shark most vicious and dangerous in the world. Giant megalodon shark species have become extinct so-called estimated surviving. This is because many video recordings that claim sightings of the giant animals. One is the latest footage taken in 2015 from the Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world. Robot camera carrier that was sunk in the sea shows the giant creatures.
According to Wikipedia, Megalodon was a giant shark that has a length of between 14 to 18 meters with a diameter of 120 millimeters pointed teeth and an estimated life of about 28 to 1.5 million years ago.
Megalodon name first appeared after an expert from Switzerland named Louis Agassiz successfully identified in 1835. The Latin name of this animal is Carcharodon megalodon shark meaning monster. News spread, although this shark has never been found alive, many scientists believe that this shark is still alive, and includes a living fossil.
Far exceeding the size of the megalodon shark whale (whale shark) which is the largest fish in the world who live in the present length is only reaching 15 m. However, the size of the Megalodon remains smaller than the largest animal in the world, the blue whale whose length reaches 33 M.
Food megalodon are whales, dolphins, turtles and other marine animals. The strength of teeth that can crush the shells of turtles with ease. The shark is a predator best ever, backed by the strength, speed and teeth.

The characteristics of poisonous frogs and the kind of America
Forests, it does not only produce the kinds of beautiful plants, but also the kinds of fauna is very interesting to be maintained, including poisonous frogs are known to have exotic colors.
Frogs are small animals that live in watery places, swamps, fields, and lakes. Amphibians appropriate when it looked dirty and disgusting. But do not be surprised if you see a small frog from the tropical forests of Central America and South America it has the charm of a variety of colors and very interesting.
Complementary Weapons of War
This little frog is also known as poison frog or poison arrow frog. Why say that? Because, the animal's body is covered with poison. The poison in the interior United States, particularly by the American Indians of the Amazon and Colombia is widely used as fill dart or javelin (spear) as a weapon for hunting or fighting, so the frog is often touted as the poison dart frog and poison arrow frog.
Frog or toad loved by hobbyists in the United States, 65 species belonging to the family Dendrobatidae of about 175 species exist. Family Dendrobatidae not only frog that actually toxic and produce their own toxins in the skin, but also the rocket frogs (genus Colostethus which consists of approximately 110 species), and the frog that has a foul odor (skunk frog).
Family Dendrobatidae a tropical frog that has a relationship with the family Leptodactlidae, one of the large family of frogs America. Family Dendrobatidae also known as tree frogs (Hylidae family) looked at his fingertips. Although all of these frogs tend to have the dish on his fingertips, on Dendrobatidae each fingertip has two protruding parts, called scutes, a trait that can facilitate the hobbyists distinguish with other types.
Poisonous frogs are some of them very pretty with beautiful color combination covering his body, including red, yellow, green and even blue. Frogs are active during the day is often perform malicious activity and are in open areas and can be easily spotted by predators snakes, birds, and small mammals.
Frog rocket least mamiliki color, and toxins in the skin was less clear. Actually, it is a frog that has a very strong poison tend to have very bright colors.
Alarm
Colors like it actually become 'alarm' for the predators that they are not pleasant to eat. The notification of color known as aposematic, scientifically and occur in several different types of animals, especially in the tropics. This causes poisonous frogs have few predators that could eat it. For example, if a snake bit him, then direct the snake will release him (spit out) and scales rub his lips on the ground while feeling really sick from poison frogs.
The existence of toxins in the skin scientifically to maintain their survival, and they can meet their food supply with active prey at any time. Males can set the region to attract female frogs. Male frogs typically lead in adult frogs group (eg Harlequin poison frog can live a long life of about 9 years), in particular to protect the eggs and occasionally tadpoles (tadpole).
Frog females of most species can spawn every winter or in other words every year, so that it can develop poisonous frog with a number of very amazing in suitable habitats. Some species can be maintained over the population in a few years when developed and can be "harvested" as pets.

Apparently dragonfly most danger in Prey
The species is that of the title as the most powerful predators in the animal kingdom? If you thought it was a lion or a shark species, think back to your answer. Therefore, a recent study showed that the greatest predators in the animal kingdom is the dragonfly.
African lion was recorded as carnivores peaks in the food chain. However, the big cat is only able to capture 25 percent of the total prey they pursue. Great white sharks fared little better luck. Top predators in the ocean with 300 gear cutter is successful only half of the total catch prey they hunt.
Dragonfly, on the contrary, looks tiny, shimmering, and is known as the insects are harmless. Even dragonflies, along with butterflies and ladybugs, grouped in a list of preferred insects humans.
However, behind the appearance of "friendly" it, dragonfly air proved to be a very voracious predator. Recent research conducted by a team of scientists at Rutgers University in the United States shows, dragonfly hunting a most brutal and effective in the animal kingdom.
The team of scientists noted, dragonfly capable of capturing almost all their prey with a success rate reached 95 percent. Even dragonfly often eat prey while still fly, without having to bother alighted onto the leaves or twigs.
"Dragonflies will tear up the body of the prey and continues to chew up the form clots before they swallow," said Michael L. Mei, a professor emeritus of entomology at Rutgers, as quoted New York Times, Tuesday, April 2, 2013.
Dragonfly appetite practically endless. Stacey Combes, a biomechanics researcher at Harvard University who studies how to fly dragonfly, dragonfly never witnessed an experiment in the laboratory eating fruit flies out 30 in a row. "Dragonflies will continue to eat as long as there is food," he said.
A number of studies published recently have uncovered the key features of the brain, eyes, and dragonfly wings that allow the insects that hunt their prey without hesitation. One study showed, dragonfly nervous system displays almost the same capacity as humans, especially for selective attention. That is, the dragonfly is able to focus on a single prey being targeted, although prey that fly in the midst of another swarm of flying insects.
Other researchers have identified the existence of some sort of center contains 16 circuits of nerve cells that connect the brain to the motor center dragonfly flying in the chest. A set of the nervous system allows the dragonfly can track a moving target, calculate the trajectory to intercept the target, and subtly adjust the flight path to capture the target.
Robert M. Olberg from Union College, who reported his research in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found evidence that dragonflies path intercept prey sailors used similar tricks. With the myriad eyes, the dragonfly can predict the direction of flying prey, including the angle and speed, then the estimate of flying alone to capture the prey. Dragonflies know when to slow down, speed up, and fly deviate.
Dragonflies belong to different hunting technique to that done by most predators. Combes had thought dragonfly actively pursue their prey, like a lion chasing its prey. However, it is not. "It was more like an ambush predation. Dragonflies are coming from the direction which is not recognized by their prey," he said.
Dragonflies including sophisticated flying insects. They can hover in the air, diving in the water, fly backward and upside down, rotating 360 degrees with three wings and reach speeds of 30 miles per hour - incredible for a arthropods.
Dragonfly wings is also different from other types of insects. In most insects, the wing is a simple extension of the thoracic and moved as a special unit to stretch across the chest.
However, the dragonfly has four transparent wings that ultrafleksibel and attached to the thorax by a separate muscle. Each wing can maneuver independently, allowing dragonflies perform various flight maneuvers. "A dragonfly can lose the whole wings and could still catch prey," said Combes.

African elephants Largest Land Mammals
African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) - The African elephant is the largest land animal on the planet. They have a body size slightly larger than their Asian cousins and can be identified by their larger ears with a posture that looks great as the African continent. (Asian elephants are smaller with rounded ears.)
African elephants are the species of mammals (mammals), the status of herbivores (plant eaters), the average life span in the wild and 70 years. Tall at the shoulder size, from 8.2 to 13 ft (2.5 to 4 m), weight 5,000 to £ 14,000 (2268-6350 kg) Living in a herd of elephants, their protection status is now threatened.
Elephant ears radiate heat to help keep these large animals head remains cool, because sometimes the heat is too high in Africa. Elephants love to play and happy to enjoy the bath water by sucking water into their trunks and spraying all over her own body. After that, they are also often to spray their skin with a protective coating of dust heat.
Elephant's trunk is actually a long nose used for smelling, breathing, trumpeting, drinking, and also to achieve other things, especially food potential. Trunk alone has about 100,000 different muscles. African elephants have two fingerlike features on the end of their trunks which they can use to pick up small items. (Asian elephants have one.)
African elephant either male or female have tusks they use to menggais food, digging in the ground water and strip bark from trees. Male elephants use their tusks to battle one another between a bull elephant, ivory them hard is a dangerous weapon.
Because ivory is also very valuable for some people, then a lot of African elephants were killed for ivory to be sold. This trade is illegal today, but it has not completely activities that violate this can be stopped, and led to some African elephant populations continue to be threatened.
Elephants eat roots, grasses, fruit, and bark, and they also eat some other foods. An adult elephant can consume up to £ 300 (136 kilograms) of food in one day.
The animals are hungry is not a lot of sleep, they explore the vast distances while foraging for the large amount of food they need to maintain their huge bodies.
Female elephants live in family groups together with their children, but the male elephants tend to roam alone.
To have a baby elephant is a serious job for them. Elephants have a longer pregnancy than any other mammal, almost 22 months of pregnancy. Female elephants normally give birth to one calf every two to four years. At birth, elephants already weigh about 200 pounds (91 kilograms) and a height of about 3 feet (1 meter).
African elephants do not like their relatives in Asia, they are not easy to be tamed. They are spread throughout sub-Saharan Africa and the rainforests in Central and West Africa. Northern elephant continent is found in the deserts of Mali Sahel. A small herd of elephants of Mali's nomadic and they migrate in a circular route across the vast African desert and heat to find water.
About Piranha Fish Freshwater
Piranha fish including freshwater fish native habitat in the Amazon River, Brazil. Piranha fish found in the waters of rivers and lakes in tropical areas are mostly located in the south eastern states of America. Piranha scattered in several rivers such as the Orinoco (Venezuela), Rio e la Plata (Argentina) and the river Paraguay (Paraguay).
Piranha fish live in groups in the river and its tributaries in numbers are still relatively small over the years, but the condition of the waters in countries that do not rule out tropical fish can breed good premises.
In the event of carelessness that led to the release of piranha fish in free waters of tropical countries, can provide an opportunity piranha fish to breed, so feared would disrupt the freshwater ecosystems and cause unrest in the existence piranha population in the countries of the tropical climate. This has led some countries are very strict in making the rules, so that piranhas do not get into the country.
Experts tropical fish is looking for answers to how a carnivorous piranha fish, originating from the jungles of the Amazon, Brazil, appeared in the muddy river Thames in London, England. but is not expected to be able to live long because of the cold and swift water flowing in the river Thames. Likewise with piranha fish ever found in river waters in Japan, Hong Kong and other nontropical countries would be very difficult to adapt or even berkembanga cud see konisi weather is not suitable.
The characteristics of Piranha
Piranha is a special kind of fish. When seen visually
Piranha fish like pomfret fish that live in fresh water. Piranha have the characteristics of its own, iantaranya have an aggressive nature with big round eyes red, equipped with triangular teeth are pointy and sharp at the ends of his mouth that monyong forward. The average fish weighs between 600 grams to 700 grams, although there are some species in South America there are beretnya up to 4 kilograms. Such as the type of piranha red belly piranha black and red eyes that are bigger and types are very harmful to humans.
Malignancy piranha evident when prey prey. Piranha are usually clustered and if there is a smell of blood directly apat piranha eat their prey with sharp teeth like knives fitted like a spear. By pouncing and tearing meat prey less than an hour and that is left is the framework of hapless animals.
This fish can also create protection for himself against the big fish. By forming a herd or in groups so as not to fall prey to the big fish.

Kesagake Beast Man Killed
Typically, considered the most dangerous wild animals in Japan is Jepanese Giant Hornet, which kills an average of 40 people per year. However, the largest, most powerful land predator in Japan is the brown bear, and, perhaps most brutal bear attack in history occurred in the village of Sankebetsu, Hokkaido, in 1915. At that time, Sankebetsu is a pioneer village, with very few people who live in an area that is mostly wild. The area was inhabited by brown bears, including the giant male bear known as Kesagake. Kesagake usually visit Sankebetsu to eat corn-corn to be harvested. Due to being a nuisance, he was shot by two villagers and fled to the mountains, were injured. The villagers believe that, after being shot, the bear will learn to fear humans and away from plants. They were wrong.
On December 9, 1915, Kesagake appears again. He entered the Ota family home, at which time the farmer's wife was alone caring for her baby. The bear attacked the baby, kill him, then chase the baby's mother. He tried to defend himself by throwing firewood, but was eventually dragged into the woods by a bear. When people come in, they found an empty house with floors and walls covered in blood. Thirty people went into the forest, determined to kill the bear and bring the bodies of the poor woman. They found Kesagake and shot him again, but failed to kill him. The animal ran away and they found the woman's body had been partially eaten and partially buried under the snow, where the bear store it for later consumption.
The bear was later returned to the Ota family farms, and armed guards were sent afterwards. But this makes the other houses in the village were not protected, and Kesagake take advantage of this, attacked the family home Miyoke and injuring everyone in it. Although some people managed to escape, two children were killed and so was a pregnant woman, who according to witnesses who survived, pleading for the life of her unborn baby when a large bear it forward to attack. Of course, it was all in vain; Kesagake kill him as well. When the guards realized their mistake and returned home Miyoke, they found the bodies of two children, the woman and the fetus she is carrying all lying on the floor full of blood. In two days, Kesagake killed six people. The villagers fear and most of the guards left their posts for fear.
A famous bear hunter told about the incident and he identified the bear as Kesagake and told that the bear had been killed before the attack Sankebetsu. At first he refused to participate in the hunt, but eventually he joined the group, and on December 14, he was the one who finally killed Kesagake. The bear was nearly three meters and weighing 380 kg. Human remains found in his stomach. Terrible incident did not end there; some survivors of the attack died of their wounds. One of the victims drowned in the river. This region was soon abandoned by villagers and became a ghost town. Even today, incidents of animal attacks Sankebetsu remains the worst in Japan's history, and one of the most brutal of history.
