Animal Behavior

Seamonsters do not actually exist in reality, but in mythology and folklore. In those stories, seamonsters are often depicted as having gills or the ability to hold their breath for long periods of time underwater.

Morphological plasticity is the tendency of a species to physically change appearance due selective breeding. Some species, like dogs, have a high degree of morphological plasticity - a few generations can turn a wolf into a chihuahua - whereas others, such as humans, have such a low degree that thousands of years of separation yields only minor changes to facial structure and hair type.

The mechanisms which govern this effect are complex and numerous, but there seems to be a correlation between high plasticity and the species' natural rate of environmental adaptability.

Crocodilians have a transparent nictating membrane which serves as a secondary eyelid. This inner eyelid moves from the sides while the outer eyelid moves up and down. When this transparent eye-lid is engaged, it does limit visual ability somewhat, especially in muddy, darker water. However, it protects the main eye from damage that may be caused by debris in the water (or even during scuffles with fellow crocodilians). When visual ability is limited, crocodilians have a keen sense of smell to help back them up.

Welll lets see. Jalli is a constinatly having sex or threesoms with broomsticks kind of pair. they enjoy sucking on each other and having "funn" in pretty much EVERY wayy possible. josh the female of the two thinks hes so frickin cool by making funn of the retared ~his loved mate. and that he and his best frannd "morning wood" are super fly.......... but really..... Darby~Winner!

Sometimes hunting dogs, such as Beagles, are raised in a pack setting. Hunters come from all over in groups for fox hunts and such. When they let their dogs loose during the hunt, when getting them back together, it can be a bit troublesome. The numbers in the ear tell the hunters/ owners if they have the right dog or not.

reporduction by meiosis produces offspring that are genetically varied allowing them to adapt adversly to their environments and have more chance of survival as with mitosis there are no genetic variations and therefore the animals would only be adapted to survive in a stable environment similar to their parent/s

Yes, I believe it is true that spiders crawl into your mouth at night. My friend told me that an average of 9 spiders crawl into your mouth at night. But im not sure if that is true so do some reseach or something to find out if it is. :o)

It is usually because the female is pregnant, or could be the following:

-Hormonal issues (NOTE: Do not worry, this is natural, just separate them)

-The male has failed an attempt at mating with the female

A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my biology book.

Starling effect refers to the relationship between cardiac muscle fiber length and contractile force. In medical terms, Starling effect can manifest in conditions like heart failure where the heart muscle is unable to pump efficiently, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention in the body.

Nocturnal animals are active during the night and have adapted to low-light conditions. They have special adaptations like enhanced night vision, acute hearing, and a keen sense of smell to help them navigate and hunt in the dark. Additionally, many nocturnal animals have a unique circadian rhythm that allows them to be most active when their prey is also active.

That depends on what you mean by "mean." Chimps are wild animals, so their behavior is obviously going to conflict with what is considered normal decorum by human standards. Males are very territorial, meaning they are willing to harm any individual that they deem a threat. They have even been known to kill and eat the babies of their own species. However, they are gentle to those within their family units. Chimps have built in social mechanisms for reconciliation. That is, if they get into fights, they will eventually mend the rift through hugging, kissing, food sharing, and grooming. Bonobos, a close cousin of the Chimp, even have non-reproductive sex in order to calm nerves.

You can observe ants building hanging garden houses in tropical rainforests, where they create intricate nests in trees using leaves and other plant materials. Some famous places to witness this behavior include the Amazon rainforest in South America or the rainforests of Southeast Asia.

No, ants do not squirt acid. Some ant species have venomous stingers that they use for defense, but the venom is not acidic. It is important to avoid being bitten or stung by ants as some species can cause painful reactions.

There is no such thing as "tadpole eggs", as tadpoles cannot lay eggs. However, it can certainly rain frogspawn. There are many tales of creatures such as sardines, pilchards and frogs raining down over areas, so frogs' eggs, being much lighter, would easily be carried into clouds. This is caused when water from a pond is taken up into the clouds during a thunderstorm, and dumped elsewhere.

Binturongs do not hibernate because they live in tropical climates where food is available year-round. They also do not migrate long distances as they prefer to stay in their home range within the forest canopy.

the animals that kill the most people each year are the cats, the house cats. they are very dangerous they can attack at any time so be careful! if u have a cat through it on the street it will soon get you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dananana dananana !!!!!

Jake called his dog Scruffy to come over to his side of the river. Scruffy obeyed, crossed the river, and received a treat from Jake for being a good dog.

Chemical communication is a type of communication between organisms where chemical signals are used to convey information. This can involve the release of pheromones, which can trigger specific behaviors or responses in other individuals of the same species.

1.The Taiga is prone to wildfires

2.The largest biome

2.Has the fewest animal and plant species than any other biome.

4.The needles keep the coniferous trees warm in the winter

Cool tempereatures keep decompisition slow

5.has a spruse goose

6.because of cool temperature in taiga the decomposition there is slow.

Undecayed vegetation builds up on the forest floor, making it feel like a sponge. Since decomposition is slow, the soil is thin and lacking in nutrients. Trees grow taller where warmer temperatures allow for faster decompostion or by streams and rivers which carry nutrients from higher ground.

The diurnal temperature range (DTR) is the difference between the daily maximum and minimum temperature. Changes in DTR have multiple possible causes (cloud cover, urban heat, land use change, aerosols, water vapor and greenhouse gases). Different regions are affected by different factors. Some researchers say decrease of DTR is evidence of "climate change". Others say the decrease in DTR leveled off in the 1990s.

Because during the wintertime Canadian hunters migrate to the Northern United States. This forms a chain reaction that causes the animals to migrate South in an attempt to avoid the hunters. Those hunters are evil eh.
