ANIMAL WEEK PART 4!!

Filed under: Lily, Animals, Animal week

HI!!! Now part of ANIMAL WEEK, I will show you another animal, now, we will do a….TURTLE! :D

And here is some info, hehe.

Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (the crown group of the superorder Chelonia), most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs. “Turtle” may either refer to the Testudines as a whole, or to particular Testudines which make up a form taxon that is not monophyletic — see also sea turtle, terrapin, tortoise, and the discussion below.

The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago,[1] making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards and snakes. About 300 species are alive today, and some are highly endangered.

Like other reptiles, turtles are ectotherms — varying their internal temperature according to the ambient environment, commonly called cold-blooded. Like other amniotes (reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals), they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. The largest turtles are aquatic.

I know that turtles aren’t exciting…but you have to say, it is kinda intresting! :D

Thank You for coming!

ANIMAL WEEK PART 3!!!

Now I will show you the animal which almost every american loves……PUPPIES!!!!

Now, I will give you info about dogs, :D

The dog (Canis lupus familiaris)[1] is a domesticated subspecies of the gray wolf, a mammal of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term can also used more generally to encompass any member of the biological family Canidae, the Genus Caninae (also called “true dogs”). When referring to Canis lupus familiaris, the term is used to specify both feral and pet varieties. The domestic dog has been one of the most widely kept working and companion animals in human history. There are estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.[2]

The dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds. Height measured to the withers ranges from a few inches in the Chihuahua to a few feet in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called blue) to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark (”red” or “chocolate”) in a wide variation of patterns; and, coats can be very short to many centimeters long, from coarse hair to something akin to wool, straight or curly, or smooth.[3] It is common for most breeds to shed this coat, however non-shedding breeds are also popular.

:D :D :D :D :D

Thank you for coming, I will post tomorrow for more animals!!! :D

ANIMAL WEEK PART 2!!!

Hi!

Thank you for coming again! :D Now, I will show you some….what is it again? OH YEAH! Pretty Birds, hehe. :D

Now here is some info about birds! :D

Birds (class Aves) are bipedal, endothermic (warm-blooded), vertebrate animals that lay eggs. There are around 10,000 living species, making them the most diverse tetrapod vertebrates. They inhabit ecosystems across the globe, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Birds range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) Bee Hummingbird to the 2.7 m (9 ft) Ostrich. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150–200 Ma (million years ago), and the earliest known bird is the Late Jurassic Archaeopteryx, c 155–150 Ma. Most paleontologists regard birds as the only clade of dinosaurs that survived the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event approximately 65.5 Ma.

Modern birds are characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. All birds have forelimbs modified as wings and most can fly, with some exceptions including ratites, penguins, and a number of diverse endemic island species. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are highly adapted for flight. Some birds, especially corvids and parrots, are among the most intelligent animal species; a number of bird species have been observed manufacturing and using tools, and many social species exhibit cultural transmission of knowledge across generations.

Many species undertake long distance annual migrations, and many more perform shorter irregular movements. Birds are social; they communicate using visual signals and through calls and songs, and participate in social behaviours including cooperative breeding and hunting, flocking, and mobbing of predators. The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous, usually for one breeding season at a time, sometimes for years, but rarely for life. Other species have breeding systems that are polygynous (”many females”) or, rarely, polyandrous (”many males”). Eggs are usually laid in a nest and incubated by the parents. Most birds have an extended period of parental care after hatching.

Okay, now you have that information……HAVE A NICE DAY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED ANIMAL WEEK PART 2!!! :D

Thank You for coming, and come tomorow too! :D

ANIMAL WEEK BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR COMING AND LOOKING AT THIS.

First, I will show you a ENDANGERED SAND CAT.

Here is a few pictures, just for you to view them. They are my favorite animal.

See? They are very cute. Now here is info.

The Sand Cat (Felis margarita) is a small wild cat distributed over African and Asian deserts. The name “desert cat” is reserved for a subspecies of the true wildcat, but it would be appropriate for this species. It lives in those arid areas that are too hot and dry even for the desert cat: the Sahara, the Arabian Desert, and the deserts of Iran and Pakistan. It lives for about 13 years in captivity.

The length averages almost 50 cm (20 in), plus a 30 cm (12 in) tail, and the weight averages at about 2.7 kg (6 lbs). The head is conspicuously broad; the ears are large and pointed. The colour of the fur is a sandy yellow, with pallid bars, which are sometimes hardly visible. Generally the bars are more visible in the African subspecies. The mucosa of eyelids is a striking black. The fur on the tip of the tail is black. The paws are covered with long hairs which protect the skin against hot sand. The sand cat can survive in temperatures ranging from −5 °C (23 °F) to 52 °C (126 °F).

In the daytime the sand cat hides under rocks. At night it hunts for rodents, lizards and insects. Since the Sand Cat obtains all the water it needs from eating its prey, it mostly stays far away from watering points. Sand cats congregate only for mating so numbering them is a difficult task. It seems however that its numbers have been declining in the Arabian desert following a rarefaction of its prey. In 2007, the first four kittens born in captivity are being raised at the Al Ain Zoo in the United Arab Emirates as an effort to preserve the local fauna.

AND they can also walk on sand, and not make a mark.

I think that was cool for the first day! :D It stinks they are sort of endangered, because they are so cute and cool. :D

Thank you and come tomorrow for more! :D
