Do elk eat aspen bark off of the trees?
NO: Q: What do elk eat?
A: Again, elk are grazers, just like cattle. Elk are more "efficient" grazers than cattle, however. A good rule of thumb is that if your land will support 1 female dairy cow, it will sustain 3 female elk. This results in an overall lower cost since you fence and manage 1/3 as much land for the same herd size. Elk do require better forage to maintain optimum condition, so pasture improvement is sometimes recommended. During velveting and lactation, elk have higher nutritional needs
Are emus and kangaroos found in every state and territory of Australia?
Almost: emus are found everywhere on the mainland, but not in Tasmania, whilst kangaroos are found everywhere, although the red kangaroo is not found in Tasmania.
The difference between a male and female ostrich is that males have black feathers/fur and females have brownish white. The male has a white tip at the end of his tail.
Bactrian Camels weigh anywhere from 660-2,200 pounds. Dromedary Camels weigh anywhere from 660 pounds-1,320 pounds. Full grown camels stand about 6 feet 1 inch at the shoulder and 7 feet 1 inch at the hump.
Who runs fast ostrich or kiwi?
An Ostrich. A Kiwi is about the size of a chicken, and with a similar turn of speed.
No! Camels (as do all quadruped mammals) have what is called the stifle joint, the equivalent joint to the human knee, in each hindlimb. In the front limb, what is colloquially referred to as the 'knee' in animals such as horses and camels is actually the carpus, the equivalent to the human wrist - not a true knee! So you may say that a camel has two stifle joints (one on each hindlimb) and two 'knees,' (one on each forelimb). Note: the joint down from the stifle (the one which bends in the opposite direction to a human knee) is called the hock or tarsus and is the equivalent of the human ankle.
Emus can be found in almost any climate in Australia except desert because, unlike many of Australia's native creatures, it does need a ready supply of water. Emus range from coastal areas to the Alpine regions, but are not found in open, sandy desert areas of Australia's central west, due to lack of shelter and the insufficient food source for such a large bird. They are most common in New South Wales, in open scrubland and grasslands. They are not found in rainforest regions or closed forest. They are also found in areas where agriculture has overtaken the natural habitat, particularly if there is a ready water source.
Does an ostrich walk or run faster?
No, an ostrich can run at speeds of around 45 mph (The fastest of all land birds), and the fastest that a man has ever run is 100 meters in 9.58 seconds (Usain Bolt), that works out at 23.4 mph.
Which is bigger a eagle or a ostrich?
The albatross has the biggest wingspan on (or above) the planet.
The Royal albatross is 3.5 metres from wing tip to wing tip, and weighs 8 kilograms. The Antipodean or Wandering albatross is 3.2 metres from wing tip to wing tip.
Where do the deers prefer to sleep?
Under low hanging branches. They will tromp down the grasses or push up the leaves to make a "nest" to snuggle up in.

What are the 3 adaptation for the camel?
The camel can store fat in hump(s) and store water in their stomach. They have broad feet to prevent sinking too much in the sand. They have long thick eyelashes and can close the nostril to keep out blowing sand. A heavy coat insulates them during the heat of the day, and during the often bitter cold of the night.
Camels do dehydrate... though they can go without water for about 15 days
Despite what other people say, water is not stored in the camel's hump... The hump does help lessen the chance of dehydration, but it is made of fatty tissue and is very helpful to the camel when it is in starvation mode.
In addition, the camel's liver and kidneys are very efficient at retaining water. like many other desert animals, urine forms a thick syrup.
The okapi is a mammal, part of the giraffe family, and it uses lungs to breathe.

Where do camels originate from?
Camels originate from North America. The fossil evidence indicates that Camelops, the forerunner of the modern camel, appeared in the neighborhood of 2.5 million years ago.
These animals have been gone from the Americas for 10,000 years, but their kin had migrated to Asia and then Africa, where they survive today. These are the true camels, the Dromedary and Bactrian. We also know that the camelids of South America, including the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña, arose from Camelops. Links can be found for more information.
Why did the ostrich eat the pebble?
dodo birds ate rocks because they ate a fruit that was hard to digest when they swallowed the rocks the rocks somehow rubbed together in its stomach and then crushed the fruit, so it could digest it.

Edited by H. Neeser. Somebody has a shrunken ruler. I have had many Ostrich eggs, and never saw one bigger than 6" X 5". From wikipedia, "on average they are 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long, 13 centimetres (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken egg. They are glossy".
The first time fur that was directly taken from an animal was on januarty 7th, 1995
