Gray Tree Frog

Beauty Of Animal | Gray Tree Frog | The Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) or Gray Tree Frog, is a species of small arboreal frog native to much of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. It is sometimes referred to as the Eastern Gray Treefrog, Common Gray Treefrog, or Tetraploid Gray Treefrog to distinguish it from its more southern genetically disparate cousin, the Cope's Gray

Siberian Tiger

 

  

The Life of Animals | Siberian Tiger | The Siberian Tiger is rusty reddish or rusty yellow, with narrow black stripes. The body length is not less than 150 cm (59 inches), condylobasal skull length 250 mm (9.8 inches), zygomatic width 180 mm (7.1 inches) and length of upper carnassial tooth more than 26 mm (1.0 inches ) long. It is generally 5-10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 inches) larger than the Bengal tiger, which is about 107-110 cm (42-43 inches) high. According to modern research of wild Siberian tigers in the Sikhote-Alin, an adult male on average over 35 months old with a weight of 176.4 kg (389 lb), the average asymptotic limit 222.3 kilograms (490 pounds) is, an adult tigress weighs 117.9 kg (260 lb). The average weight of historical Siberian tigers is expected to be higher: 215.3 kg (475 pounds) for males and 137.5 kg tiger (303 pounds) for women in May 2011 with a weight of a male named "Banzai" 207 kg (460 lb ) was the radio-collar. This individual is heavier, but smaller than a male previously fitted with radio collars. Propose measures more than 50 people trapped, taken that the body size is similar to that of Bengal tigers.

The length of the tail in adult males is about 1 meter (39 inches). In some cases, the Siberian tigers in captivity reached a weight of up to (1.030 pounds) to 465 kg, as the Tiger "Jaipur" The spatial extent of the Amur tiger in Russia's Far East, stretching from south to north for about 1000 km (620 miles) along the entire length of the Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in the south east and south of the river Amur. Key habitat for the Amur tiger is the deciduous forests of Korean pine with a complex composition and structure. The complex of ungulates is represented by red deer, wild boar, sika deer, roe deer, moose Manchuria, musk and Ghoral. The number of Amur tiger in China is estimated to be 18-22. About 90% of the population in the mountainous region of Sikhote Alin An unknown number of Tiger Reserve in the areas around Baekdu survive mountains, based on take-off and landing runways and local observations.

Siberian tigers are known to travel up to 1,000 km (620 miles), a distance which marks the boundary of the land exchange by continuous ecologically made In 1992 and 1993 the population density maximum total population of tigers in Sikhote-Alin 0.62 people in 100 km2 (39 sq km) was estimated. Between January 1992 and November 1994 11 tigers were captured, radio-collared and tracked for 15 months in the eastern slopes of the mountains of Sikhote-Alin. Distribution of wild boar was not so much to predict the distribution of the tiger. Although they attack both the Siberian roe deer and Sika, this overlap is small ungulates were with tigers. Distribution of the moose was wrong with the distribution of the tiger. The distribution of preferred habitat of the prey is a key indicator of the precise distribution of the tiger.

In 2004, dramatic changes in land tenure, density and reproduction in the central area of the Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik Siberian Tiger Project have demonstrated what can on that, if the Tigers well against the mortality of people protected during an extended period, the adult female densities increase dramatically.  Siberian tigers reach sexual maturity at age four. Unlike the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger is rarely a man-eater. Siberian tigers have been in the past rarely dangerous unless provoked, although in the lower Syr Darya, a tiger and woman collecting wood and killed an unarmed military officer during the period from June, while going through the thicket of reeds. The attacks against the shepherds were recorded in the lower reaches of the Ili.

In the year 1867 have killed the river Tsymukha, Tiger 21 people and injured six others. China's Jilin Province have attacked Tiger woodcutter and coachman, and sometimes enter cabins and pull on adults and children Killed, according to the Bureau of the Japanese police in Korea, a tiger a man, while leopards killed three wild boars and wolves, four 48 in 1928 were only six cases in Russia of the 20 attacks Century recorded unprovoked leading to man-eating behavior. Provoked attacks are frequent, but usually to capture the result of failed attempts In December 1997, intervened Amur tiger wounded, killed and eaten two people. Both attacks occurred in the Bikin valley. The anti-poaching task force investigating two deaths Inspection Tiger hunted and killed the tiger. In January 2002 a man was attacked by a Siberian tiger on a mountain road near Hunchun in Jilin Province, China, near the borders with Russia and North Korea. An examination of the scene of the attack showed that the deer was first made by man unaffected by the tiger. Soon the tiger has been shown to stroll slowly past them. Attacked about an hour after this meeting, the tiger and killed a 26-year-old woman on the same street. Until then, the tiger was found lying at 20 meters, low and barely alive. Despite the extensive surgery by a team of veterinarians, the tiger died of wound infections. The zoo subsequently erected a large fence topped by an electric fence. In January 2011, seized a Siberian tiger killed a bus driver and the tour of a farm in the northern province of Heilongjiang, China.

Seahorse

 Beauty Of Animal | Seahorse | Seahorse compose the hippocampus in the sex of the fish family Syngnathidae, Syngnathiformes in the system. Syngnathidae also includes pipefishes. "Hippocampus" comes from the Hippos in ancient Greek means "horse", meaning kampos "sea monster"There are approximately 50 species of seahorses. There are mainly in the shallow water tropical and temperate in all parts of

French Angora

Beauty Of Animal | French Angora | French Angora is a large rabbit with long fur on the body, legs, and cheeks. The wool of this rabbit is somewhat coarser than that of the other breeds. Ideally, it is 2 to 3 inches long. The head, ears, and feet are covered with much shorter hair. The rounded body is medium length. The upright ears may have slight tufts, but they are much less noticeable than

Malayan Tiger

  

The Life of Animals | Malayan Tiger | There is no clear difference between Malaysia and the Indochinese tiger when samples of the two regions are compared cranial or coat. Malaysian Tigers appear to be smaller than the Indians. Length of the body taken from 16 women tigers in the state of Trengganu varied from 70 to 103 in (180-260 cm) and the average of 80.1 inches (203 cm). The geographical distribution between Malaysia and Indochina tigers is not clear how the tiger populations in northern Malaysia are contiguous with those in southern Thailand. The total potential habitat of 66 211 km2 tiger was (25564 km ²), which consisted of 37 674 km2 (14,546 square miles) of confirmed cases of tiger habitat, 11,655 km2 (4,500 square miles) of tiger habitat and expected 16,882 km2 (6518 km ²) tiger habitat as possible.

Malayan tigers prey on sambar deer, barking deer, wild boar, bearded pigs in Borneo and Serow. Tigers in Taman Negara also attack sun bears and elephants. Tigers occur at very low densities 1.1-1.98 tigers per 100 square miles in the woods as a result of the low density fixed to maintain viable populations of at least six tiger breeding females, the reservation must be more 1000 square miles. Information on food preferences, morphological measurements, demographic parameters, social structure, communication, range sizes, dispersability are missing.

When the tiger of Malaysia was accepted as a subspecies of the tiger family, the news was warmly received in Malaysia. However, there was brief discussion about the scientific name of the Tiger of Malaysia. The formal description of the subspecies called his name Panthera tigris jacksoni in honor of tiger expert Peter Jackson. In Malaysia, so the Tiger of Malaysia is known as Panthera tigris malayensis. The Tiger of Malaysia is the national animal of Malaysia. A tiger is represented in the arms of Malaysia, representing the government, and appears in heraldry various types of institutions such as Malaysia Royal Malaysian Police, Maybank, Proton and the Football Association of Malaysia. The tiger has been given several nicknames by Malaysians, including "Pak Belang", which literally means "Uncle Stripes." The Tiger Malaysia was made in the Special Service Group insignia.

Indochinese Tiger

  

The Life of Animals | Indochinese Tiger | Male Indochina tigers as 2.55 to 2.85 meters (8.37 to 9.35 m) long, weighing 150-195 kg (330-430 pounds) as measured between the skull 319-365 mm (13-14 inches) in length. Large individuals can weigh over 250 kg (550 pounds). Female Indochinese tigers as 2.30 to 2.55 m (7.55 to 8.37 feet) in length, weight 100-130 kg (221-287 pounds) with a length of 275-311 mm skull (11 12). The average female Indochinese tiger is approximately 2.44 m (8 ft) long and weighs about 115 kg (253 pounds). Indochinese tigers live in secluded forests in hilly to mountainous terrain, most of which lies along the borders between countries. Indochinese tigers prey primarily ungulates of medium and large enterprises. Sambar deer, wild boar, and cattle Serow large gaur and banteng and youth constitute the majority of the diet of the tiger in Indochina.

small prey itself is just enough to satisfy the energy needs of a large carnivore such as the tiger, and is enough to play Tiger. This factor, combined with poaching for Tiger Direct traditional Chinese medicine, is the main factor in the collapse of the Indochinese tiger throughout its range. According to government estimates of national populations of tiger, the subspecies population numbers around a total of 350 individuals All existing populations are at extreme risk reduction hunting of prey due to illegal hunting of wild pigs, deer and habitat fragmentation and inbreeding. Tiger numbers will be difficult to increase unless the residents can see a live tiger as more valuable than a dead man.

Bali Tiger

  

The Life of Animals | Bali Tiger | The Bali tiger was the youngest of the nine subspecies of tiger, and not comparable with the size of the leopard or panther. Bali tigers had short hair, the orange has been deep, dark and had a smaller number of lines compared to other sub-species of tiger. Bali tigers also had unusual rod-like structures on the head. Bali tiger had an average gestation period of 14-15 weeks. This split the tigers into two groups, which then develops is independent, the second option, the Tigers swam from one island to another to colonize. The road from Bali is located only 2.4 miles wide, making it good in the buoyancy of the Tiger Media. One of the most comprehensive document left by the Hungarian baron Oszkár Vojnic was the Balinese people trapped, hunted and took photos of a tiger. Surabayan gunsmith E. Munaut is confirmed to have killed more than 20 tigers of Bali in a few years. The last confirmed sighting of the tiger was a grown woman, killed 27th September 1937, at Sumbar Kima, in the western part of Bali.

The British Museum in London is the largest collection, with two cups and three skulls belong to the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Natural History Museum in Stuttgart, Naturalis in Leiden Museum and the Zoological Museum at Bogor, Indonesia, the remains of the last known Balinese keeps Tigers . Unlike deer hunting, they have learned very little, if any, Balinese Tiger Hunting embraced before the arrival of Europeans on the island because of tigers as evil, dangerous creatures have been seen. Nevertheless, Tigers had a well-defined position in the folk belief and magic. For example, when the Balinese the bottom of the tiger's whiskers, a powerful, undetectable poison for your enemy to mention be in the same book this, Miguel Covarrubias, the "Island of the Gods", 1937, when a child is born Balinese, got a protective amulet necklace of black coral and "tooth of a tiger or a piece of tiger bones.

As in other Asian countries, the people of Bali tiger parts like wearing jewelry than for the state or for spiritual reasons, such as power and protection. Necklaces of teeth and claws or rings male cabochoned polished ivory teeth of the tiger are still in daily use. Disappeared since Tiger is near Bali and Java were old or recycled parts of Leopard and Sun Bear body parts were used instead. One of the traditional Balinese dance, the Barong, even in one of four forms, a guy named Tiger Barong (Barong Macan).

Bengal Tiger

 

  

The Life of Animals | Bengal Tiger | The coat of the Bengal tiger is light orange yellow, striped with dark brown to black, the belly is white and the inner member, and the tail is orange rings with blacks. Male Bengal tigers have a total length, including the tail, from 270 to 310 centimeters (110 to 120), while the females range from 240 to 265 cm (94 to 104). The average weight of males is 221.2 kg (488 lb), while that of females was 139.7 kg (308 lb). The men captured in the Chitwan National Park in 1970 had an average weight of 235 kg (520 lb) 200 to 261 kg (440-580 lb), and the females was 140 kg (310 lb) from 116 to 164 kg (260-360 lb). The men of North India are as big as the Siberian tiger with a skull length 332-376 mm higher (13.1 inches to 14.8). The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger, which was reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially the old state of Rewa. There is a case of a real tiger albino duly authenticated, and none of the Black Tigers, with the possible exception of a dead specimen examined in Chittagong in 1846. Bengal tigers are defined by three distinct mitochondrial nucleotide sites and 12 unique microsatellite alleles.

The recent history of tigers in the Indian subcontinent is compatible with the absence of fossils of tigers in India by the end of the Pleistocene and the absence of tigers in Sri Lanka, which was separated from the subcontinent in the early Holocene increase in the water. In the Indian subcontinent, tigers live in tropical evergreen rain forests, dry forests, tropical forests and subtropical moist broadleaf trees, mangrove forests, subtropical and temperate forests of mountain and flood plains. Tiger density of these blocks are high, in part a response to extraordinary biomass of ungulate prey. The basic social unit of the tiger is one of the elements of mother and offspring. Resident adults of both sexes tend to restrict their movements within a defined area of the habitat in which to satisfy their needs, and in the case of tigers, their young growing.

Included in its range of home were much smaller home ranges of two females, a tigress with her cubs and sub-adult Tigre. They occupied home ranges of 16-31 km2 (6.2 to 12 square miles). The house is occupied by resident adult males tend to be mutually exclusive, although one of these residents can tolerate a transient or sub-adult male, at least for some time. A male tiger preserves a vast territory to include the home ranges of several females within its limits, so it can keep the rights to mate with them. In general, there is some overlap with the resident female. Home ranges of males and females are not stable. Changes of less suitable habitat are made from animals that are already resident. New animals become only the residents as vacancies occur when a former resident moves or dies. There are more places for women than for male residents inhabitants. During seven years of camera data capture, monitoring and observation in Chitwan National Park, 6-9 breeding tigers, from 2 to 16 non-breeding tigers, and tigers from 6 to 20 youngsters under one year of age were detected in 'study area of 100 km2 (39 sq km). Residents of the 11 females, 7 were still alive at the end of the study period, two missing after losing their territories to rivals, and 2 deaths. A young tiger was believed dead after being photographed with serious injuries from a trap deer.

Alpaca

Beauty Of Animal |  Alpaca | Alpaca (Backus vicugna) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. They resemble small llamas in appearance.Are kept in herds of alpaca, which feed on the heights of the Andes level of southern Peru and Bolivia in the north of Ecuador and northern Chile at an altitude of 3500 meters (11500 feet) to 5,000 meters (16000 feet) above sea level, throughout

King Vulture

Beauty Of Animal | King Vulture | The King Vulture (Sarcoramphus papa) is a large bird found in Central and South America. It is a member of the New World vulture family Cathartidae. This vulture lives predominantly in tropical lowland forests stretching from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Large and predominantly white, the King Vulture has gray to black ruff, flight, and tail feathers

Chinese Fire Belly Newt

  
The Life of Animals | Chinese Fire Belly Newt | In AD 1008 years, a Chinese author mentioned that a small black salamander was found in aquatic weeds in pools on the prairie Mou. For animals that survive the transportation, mortality rates are very high given the poor cattle in pet stores or the ultimate owner. If the animals in captivity can not be found, make sure to buy an animal in good condition. Open wounds, missing limbs, fungi and animals too thin to be passed over, or even seemingly healthy individuals if the newts deaths are in the tank. While many people buy sick animals, out of pity or with intent to breastfeed return to health, the purchase of these animals simply encourages poor care on behalf of the owner of the pet. Orientalis Cynops better in a tank not heated to temperatures between 58-68 ° F (14-20 ° C). Temperatures above 74 ° F typically result in high levels of stress or death. The failure of newts to enter the water can be a sign of stress, poor water quality, or other health problems. Typically, five gallons of aquarium animals is ideal, but the smaller tanks may have water quality problems.

Including live plants in the aquarium can help maintain healthy water quality, providing coverage for pregnant newts and more attractive. Animals mixture of other amphibian or fish or other, with C. orientalis is discouraged Other animals can be aggressive, disease-carrying foreign, have different requirements for housing, and may eat or be eaten by the newts. Firebelly toads (Bombina orientalis), newts Paddletail (Pachytriton spp.), Crabs and various fish are often poorly maintained together in pet shops. Moreover, several toxins newts can be fatal to other species. Few species of fish from cold water fish like small white clouds are generally considered acceptable as cohabitants of C. orientalis, but they can still carry diseases, parasites or be eaten by newts hungry.

 

Newts in captivity can eat chips or dried foods, although some animals may refuse it. Foods that are easily taken may include bloodworms are the larvae of chironomids, worms, water fleas, such as Daphnia, Artemia adults Blackworms or mosquito larvae. Newts can also eat tadpoles and small fish, but these foods have a higher risk of transmitting diseases and parasites, are wild caught. Aquatic plants and layers of plastic strips (thin strips of clear plastic garbage bag tied to a rock or other heavy object) works fine, and plastic strips may be preferable to living plants. The eggs are deposited or placed in plastic plants, with some eggs laid each day.

Chaco Horned Frog

 

 

The Life of Animals | Chaco Horned Frog | Cranwell of horned frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli), also known as the Chaco horned frog, a frog is endemic to dry land of the Gran Chaco in Argentina. Like most members of Ceratophrys generally, are often considered Pacman frogs because of their resemblance to the popular video game character of the same name. The backs of these frogs are usually dark green and brown coloration, although albino variants with orange and yellow back even exist. The model allows to camouflage dark color as the animal burrows and waits for its prey.  In the case of extreme temperatures, Cranwell frogs enter a period of aestivation, the development of a thick protective layer of the skin to retain moisture and aid in breathing. When estivation is complete, the frog uses its front legs and rear to help remove the protective layer. In many cases, the frog uses the jaws to pull the skin on the back, often eat the skin in the process.

How Pacman frogs, Cranwell are popular as pets. The foreign body can be anything, but Pacman frogs kept as pets, usually a small stone or piece of gravel used as substrate. In severe cases, the volume of stool in the intestine is so great that the lungs are clogged and respiration of the frog is compromised.

Cane Toad

 

  

The Life of Animals | Cane Toad | A huge cane toad women more than men reach an average length of 10-15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in). Held "Prinsen", a toad as a pet in Sweden are listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest recorded pattern. Individual cane toads can be gray, yellowish, reddish brown or olive brown, with various patterns. Juvenile toads cane is much smaller than adult cane toads 5-10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 inches) long. Tadpoles in the range of 10 to 25 mm (0.39 to 0.98 inches) long. The title "Marine Toad" and the scientific name Bufo marinus suggest an association with marine life, and adult toads cane entirely terrestrial, just dare to breed in fresh water. While the growth rate varies by region, season and sex, and train train find average initial growth rate of 0.647 mm (0.0255 inch) per day, and then averaged 0.373 mm (0.0147 inch) per day. The growth is slowing is usually only toads sexual maturity, the rapid growth of their survival during metamorphosis and sub-adult, losing young toads to their toxicity, which protects them, such as eggs and tadpoles, but not yet fully developed parotoid glands much produce bufotoxin the Because they do not have this key, it is assumed that only 0.5% of the cane toads in adulthood

As in the growth rate varies, the point at which the frogs become sexually mature in different regions. In New Guinea, the sexual maturity of the female toads snoutvent length of 70 to 80 mm (2.8 and 3.1), while the toads reach maturity in Panama, when they are between 90 and 100 mm (3.5 and 3.9 inches in) long. Cane toad has a high resistance to water loss, a study showed that some of them can resist the 52.6% loss of body fluid that they can survive outside the tropical conditions. Adult skin is poisonous cane toads, as well as an enlarged parotoid glands behind the eyes and other glands on their backs. When the toads are endangered, glands, milky-white liquid bufotoxin known. Bufotoxin components are toxic to many animals, there were even human sacrifice in connection with the consumption of cane toads. Bufotenine, a chemical substance secreted by cane toad is classified as a Class 1 drug under Australian law, along with heroin and cannabis. It is assumed that the effect of including similar to a light bufotenine poisoning stimulation, mild hallucinations, takes less than an hour as a cane toad bufotenine allocated in small amounts, and other toxins in relatively large quantities, could lick toad in serious illness or death is run.

In addition to the production of a toxin capable of cane toad inflating its lungs, puffing, lifting his body off the ground it more and more of a potential predator Toxic toads sausages with meat are currently trying in the Kimberley (Western Australia) to, to protect domestic animals from the lethal effects of cane toads tested. Mixing bits of toad cause nausea chemical, bait animals trained to stay away from amphibians. Many species prey on cane toad in their homeland. Predators outside the natural range of the cane toad include Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus) Rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster), black rat (Rattus Rattus) and the Water Resources Act (Varanus Salvator).

There have been occasional reports of Tony Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) and Papuan Frogmouth (Podargus papuensis) eating cane toads. It is likely that the opossum Didelphis genus of cane toads can eat with impunity. Besides the already mentioned use as biological control of pests, cane toad has used in several commercial and noncommercial applications. Traditionally, the natural habitat of the toads in South America, "milking" the toad, the Embera-Wounaan their toxins which are then used as arrow poison.

The toad has parotoid glands as a source of food hunting in some parts of Peru and eaten after removing the skin. Pregnancy tests were in the middle of the 20th Century by the introduction of the urine performed by women in the male toad lymph sacs, and if the sperm appeared in the urine of the toad, the patient is pregnant. Is considered ideal in experimental animals cane toad, they are plentiful and easy to maintain and operate and inexpensive. Even a dead toad matter. Cane toad skin was stuffed into the skin and novelty items cane toads, supplied and installed, has found a home in the tourist market, as well as attempts to produce fertilizer from their bodies.

African frog

 

 

The Life of Animals | African frog | African frogs are carnivorous and voracious eaters, feeding on insects, small rodents, reptiles, small birds and frogs, amphibians, and positive, and is known to bite when provotsirovali.Afrikanskie frogs kept at Pretoria Zoo in South Africa once ate 17 baby cobras (Hemachatus haemachatus). The African frog (Pyxicephalus adspersus) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. The natural habitat is dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrub, freshwater lake constantly, constantly fresh marshes, arable land, pastures, and channels.

Argentine Horned Frog

  

The Life of Animals | Argentine Horned Frog | Females can be up to 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) from snout to vent (SV) and men was 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) VS. Color is usually light green with red spots, but dark blue, parti-color versions of black and albino exist. Frog hunting horns remaining motionless, waiting for prey. In nature, the typical diet will include rodents such as mice, small reptiles and large spiders and insects such as grasshoppers. Horned frog is known for its reputation for courage. They try to eat animals, sometimes even their size. When kept as a pet, usually horned frogs feed primarily on large adult grasshoppers, crickets and black and brown rats, but also enjoy depending on fish size.

 

Sexual reproduction. Argentine Horned Frog Females lay about 2,000 eggs in water and in two weeks to become tadpoles. Known in the pet industry as Pacman frogs, in Argentina diversity of species is usually resistant and easy care. Argentine Horned Frog has some simple requests such as a pet. A We recommend keeping the horned frogs only way to avoid cannibalism. A heating pad can be used to adjust the temperature, however, the pad should be placed on a water surface and below so as not to prevent overheating frogs buried.

Daily misting with distilled water (hard water stain removal on glass) can help achieve optimal levels of humidity. Do not spray directly to your frogs in distilled water or distilled water to soak offer. Water treated with chlorine, or better, spring water must be used for dipping purposes. Juveniles can be fed appropriate vitamin / calcium dusted 3-4 size every two days. Adults can be fed adult crickets, cockroaches, earthworms or three times a week. Frogs have difficulty digesting the tissues in mammals and high fat content of mice can lead to fatty liver disease.

Kakapo

 

  

The Life of Animals | Kakapo | Kakapo parrots large round male measures up to 60 cm (24 inches) and weighs from 2 to 4 kg (4-9 lb) at maturity. Kakapo can not fly, having short wings for their size and lack of pronounced keel bone (sternum) that anchors the flight muscles of other birds. Unlike other species of land birds, Kakapo can accumulate a large amount of body fat for energy storage, making it the heaviest parrot. At the top of the Kakapo have yellowish green moss, or mottled feathers are prohibited, black or dark gray-brown, stirring well with native vegetation. Belly, tail, neck and face mostly yellow, streaked with pale green, slightly mottled brown-gray. Kakapo has a few feathers notable person driving fine, owl like face, so that the first European settlers called the "owl parrot". Beak surrounded by thin mustaches, or "whiskers" that birds use to test the waters to navigate, as he walks with his head down. Kakapo feet are large, scaly, and, like all parrots, zygodactyl (two toes pointing forward and two steps back). End of the tail feathers are often worn by the constant slip on the ground.

A woman can be easily distinguished from that of men: he is the head narrower and less domed, its beak is narrow and proportionately more of its ceremonies and nostrils small feet and legs are thinner and pinkish gray, and its tail is proportionately larger. It seeks to confront more and more aggressive than men when treated. Like many parrots, Kakapo has a number of challenges. Kakapo is a well-developed sense of smell, which complements its nightlife. The smell is often warns predators Kakapo largely defenseless. It seems that the Kakapo and many species of birds of New Zealand has evolved to occupy an ecological niche, usually filled with various mammalian species (marine mammals not native to New Zealand, three species of bats small). Before the arrival of humans, Kakapo were distributed in all three main islands of New Zealand. Although the Kakapo can not fly, it is an excellent climber, climbing to the tops of tall trees. A woman, he made two trips back each night during the nesting season of its nest to a food source up to 1 km (0.6 miles), and men can walk the house scene of a range of coupling to 5 km (3 miles) during the breeding season (October-January).

Young birds have a fighting game and enter the neck of a bird is often the other under his chin. Kakapo is curious by nature and are known to interact with people. Conservation staff and volunteers engaged widely with some Kakapo, which have different personalities. Kakapo was a very successful species in pre-human New Zealand and one of the reasons for this have been a lot of accessories to effectively avoid predators of local birds of prey, which are their only predators in the past. All four species rose to head the search for prey in the day and avoid the birds of prey, whose ancestors camouflage uniform and Kakapo became night. Predatory mammals, unlike birds, rely on their sense of smell and hearing to find prey and often hunt at night. The usual way for people to track down the Kakapo is the liberation of trained dogs Kakapo is the only type of parrot fly around the world, and only flightless bird that has a lek breeding system. Men are free to assemble in the arena and compete with each other to attract females. Women listen to men, because they show, or "leks They choose a mate based on the quality of its display, if not pursued by men in any way to open a pair bond is formed. Males and females meet only to mate.

Men remain in their camp during the mating season. Fight against birds may leave injury or even kill them. Kakapo is a rare bird in the world that built its current bowls are often created alongside the rocks, banks or tree trunks, to reflect the sound of the bowl itself act as amplifiers for increase the projection of the growth in male mating calls. Each bowl man linked network of trails and paths, which can range from 50 meters (160 feet) along the ridge or 20 meters (60 feet) in diameter around the hill. Men clean their bowls, and traces of debris. To attract females, males emit a strong low frequency (below 100 Hz) calls booming Cup, enlargement of the bag. After a sequence of about 20 loud explosion, a man Kakapo radiates high frequencies, metallic "ching" sound. Men are growing at an average eight hours a day, every man can produce thousands of arrows at that time. Once a woman enters the yard of one of the men, male performs display, in which he sways from side to side and makes a clicking noise with his beak. Once the birds are mated, the woman returned to his home region to lay their eggs and raise chicks. The man continues to thrive in the hope of attracting another woman. Female Kakapo lay up to three eggs per breeding cycle.

The female incubates the eggs is true, but to leave every night in search of food. Kakapo eggs usually hatch within 30 days, with fluffy gray chicks that are totally helpless. Young chicks are vulnerable to predators, like an egg, and the young were killed, many of these predators that attack adults. The men begin to grow rapidly until about 5 years. Usually, women do not seek men, until they are between 9 and 11 years. Kakapo do not breed every year, and has one of the lowest rates of reproduction in birds. Mating occurs only in years when trees mast (fruit heavily), providing an abundance of food. Rimu mast occurs only once every three to five years, and the dominant Rimu wood, such as cod in the island, Kakapo breeding occurs rarely. Another interesting aspect of breeding Kakapo is that a woman can change the sex ratio of offspring depending on its condition. A woman who eats protein-rich foods produce offspring more men (males have a weight of 3% -40% more than women). Women produce dispersion-shifted offspring sex when competition for resources (eg, food) is high and non-dispersive sex when food is abundant. Female Kakapo, will probably be able to produce eggs, even though there are a few resources, while men are more capable of Kakapo to perpetuate the species, when there are lots of things, by mating with several females . Kakapo is associated with the rich folklore traditions and beliefs of Maori. Irregular cycle of breeding birds to understand because of the heavy fruiting or "rigging" the events of different types of plants such as Rimu Maori, which led to credit the bird with the ability to predict the future.

Animals such as albatross and gray whales (the largest of the toothed whales) feed almost exclusively on squid predators of other dolphins, seals, baleen whales and rays.
