Do Tasmanian tigers live in tropical rainforests?
Tasmanian tigers, more properly known as Thylacines, are extinct, so they do not live anywhere now.
From the time of European settlement, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, was only known on the Australian island state of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence from a long time ago indicates they once also lived on the Australian mainland and in New Guinea.
The habitat of the thylacine was open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or sometimes the edge of open wetlands. It did not live in the tropical rainforest.
Steer are not aggressive animals. Steer are male cattle who used to be bulls, but were castrated at some point in their life, most likely early on while it was young. This is to prevent the animal to breed with any cows or heffers in the field, and to also make them unaggressive.
Is there any thylacines left in the world?
yes there has been reports of small groups of thylacine, in the nortern glacial regions of Narnia.
Do you drive through san Luis obispo to get to mammoth from la?
No. Unless you want to go hours out of your way. SLO is on the west side while mammoth is on the east side of the state
No, in fact, alpacas and other camelids do not have hooves. They have feet with two padded toes, with a toenail on each toe. A hoof, cloven or not, is a much different structure. When angered enough, they can and will kick out and rake those hooks over whatever is attacking them
Why did climate make the woolly mammoths extinct?
The climate didn't make the wooly mamooth extinct. People killed all of them.
and fortunantly they did not do a very complete job as well because small herds are still being occasionally reported in the most remote regions of the northern hemispheres by the indigenous population and local goverments of seberia and russia.
Why did the Rhamphorhynchus become extinct?
Like all dinosaurs, we still do not know how this prehistoric animal became extinct. it evolved though, because it lived in the Jurassic period of the mesosoic, and did not become extinct, but it evolved
What is the difference between CDMA and GSM phones?
In cellular service there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Cellular carriers including Sprint PCS, Cingular Wireless, Verizon and T-Mobile use one or the other. Understanding the difference between GSM and CDMA will allow you to choose a carrier that uses the preferable network technology for your needs.
The GSM Association is an international organization founded in 1987, dedicated to providing, developing, and overseeing the worldwide wireless standard of GSM. CDMA, a proprietary standard designed by Qualcomm in the United States, has been the dominant network standard for North America and parts of Asia. However, GSM networks continue to make inroads in the United States, as CDMA networks make progress in other parts of the world. There are camps on both sides that firmly believe either GSM or CDMA architecture is superior to the other. That said, to the non-invested consumer who simply wants bottom line information to make a choice, the following considerations may be helpful.
Coverage: The most important factor is getting service in the areas you will be using your phone. Upon viewing competitors' coverage maps you may discover that only GSM or CDMA carriers offer cellular service in your area. If so, there is no decision to be made, but most people will find that they do have a choice.
Data Transfer Speed: With the advent of cellular phones doing double and triple duty as streaming video devices, podcast receivers and email devices, speed is important to those who use the phone for more than making calls. CDMA has been traditionally faster than GSM, though both technologies continue to rapidly leapfrog along this path. Both boast "3G" standards, or 3rd generation technologies.
EVDO, also known as CDMA2000, is CDMA's answer to the need for speed with a downstream rate of about 2 megabits per second, though some reports suggest real world speeds are closer to 300-700 kilobits per second (kbps). This is comparable to basic DSL. As of fall 2005, EVDO is in the process of being deployed. It is not available everywhere and requires a phone that is CDMA2000 ready.
GSM's answer is EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), which boasts data rates of up to 384 kbps with real world speeds reported closer to 70-140 kbps. With added technologies still in the works that include UMTS (Universal Mobile Telephone Standard) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), speeds reportedly increase to about 275-380 kbps. This technology is also known as W-CDMA, but is incompatible with CDMA networks. An EDGE-ready phone is required.
In the case of EVDO, theoretical high traffic can degrade speed and performance, while the EDGE network is more susceptible to interference. Both require being within close range of a cell to get the best speeds, while performance decreases with distance.
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards: In the United States only GSM phones use SIM cards. The removable SIM card allows phones to be instantly activated, interchanged, swapped out and upgraded, all without carrier intervention. The SIM itself is tied to the network, rather than the actual phone. Phones that are card-enabled can be used with any GSM carrier.
The CDMA equivalent, a R-UIM card, is only available in parts of Asia but remains on the horizon for the U.S. market. CDMA carriers in the U.S. require proprietary handsets that are linked to one carrier only and are not card-enabled. To upgrade a CDMA phone, the carrier must deactivate the old phone then activate the new one. The old phone becomes useless.
Roaming: For the most part, both networks have fairly concentrated coverage in major cities and along major highways. GSM carriers, however, have roaming contracts with other GSM carriers, allowing wider coverage of more rural areas, generally speaking, often without roaming charges to the customer. CDMA networks may not cover rural areas as well as GSM carriers, and though they may contract with GSM cells for roaming in more rural areas, the charge to the customer will generally be significantly higher.
International Roaming: If you need to make calls to other countries, a GSM carrier can offer international roaming, as GSM networks dominate the world market. If you travel to other countries you can even use your GSM cell phone abroad, providing it is a quad-band phone (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). By purchasing a SIM card with minutes and a local number in the country you are visiting, you can make calls against the card to save yourself international roaming charges from your carrier back home. CDMA phones that are not card-enabled do not have this capability, however there are several countries that use CDMA networks. Check with your CDMA provider for your specific requirements.
According CDG.org, CDMA networks support over 270 million subscribers worldwide, while GSM.org tallies up their score at over 1 billion. As CDMA phones become R-UIM enabled and roaming contracts between networks improve, integration of the standards might eventually make differences all but transparent to the consumer.
The chief GSM carriers in the United States are Cingular Wireless, recently merged with AT&T Wireless, and T-Mobile USA. Major CDMA carriers are Sprint PCS, Verizon and Virgin Mobile. There are also several smaller cellular companies on both networks.
Do dinosaurs have fingernails?
Strictly speaking, a "nail" is a flat keratinous covering on a digit. Dinosaurs mostly had claws, which are of the same substance, but differently arranged, so in one sense, the answer is "no" but in another, "yes."
Attention to all people living near the Appalachian Mountains! A creature that has thought to be extinct has been found living near the Appalachian Mountains. It is called a barbazoop. The barbazoop is dangerous so all people have been told to be careful and not to go out hiking alone. Be careful because even scientists wonder was the barbazoop extinct after all.
What are the extinction rates of terrestrial and freshwater organisms?
The extinction rates of terrestrial and freshwater organisms varies per location. This is largely dependent on other growing and declining populations.
Can you name three animals that are extinct?
Dodo, Thylacine, Quagga, Caspian Tiger, Stellers Sea Cow and Pallas Cormorant.
What other reason are there for animals becoming extinct?
Creating Cities, chopping forest and other related causes.
List two ideas about why mammoths became extinct?
Because of the climate change , were not used to the change of wheather
What is the difference between a passenger pigeon and a regular pigeon?
The main difference is that passenger pigeons are extinct. Also, regular pigeons now are much less attractive in color that passenger pigeons were.
matthew boorer is a homosexual and his brother is a tranny like a pear and his mum s ex shaun
The quagga is extinct, as the last known specimen died in 1883.
How many animal species have become extinct in the past year?
Scientists have identified and catalogued around 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 species (of animals and plants), most of which are insects (most of which are beetles). However, those are only the species that have been identified and described, many, many, many more exist - some scientists think there are 10 million (10,000,000) species on Earth, and others think there are 100 million (100,000,000) species on Earth! Biodiversity (the number of living organisms on Earth) is an incredibly hard thing to count. There are places on the Earth that have hardly been explored at all where diversity (the numbers of species) is extremely high, places like the tropical rain forest. The really scary thing is that, mostly as a result of the activity of human beings (pollution and destruction of the environment), lots of these species are going extinct before we even get a chance to identify them in the first place
Scientists found that the cave bear was 100 percent carnivorous due to its big, sharp teeth. They suggested that the cave bear probably ate anything like carrion stolen from other predators, and hunted animals like the prehistoric elk.
Cave bears eat caribous, woolly rhinoceros, woolly mammoths, woolly bisons, cavemen, and deer.
What does a mastodon look like?
A Mastodon is 4 1/2 feet tall and has 4 tusks. It kind of looks like a furry elephant.
Which country is responsible for the most animal extinctions?
Africa during to the levels of environmental issues the eating,killing and really poaching yeah!!!
