The Life of Animals | Cicada | The adult insect, known as imago is generally from 2 to 5 cm (1-2 inches) long, although some tropical species can reach 15 cm (6 inches), for example, Imperata Pomponia Malaysia. Cicadas have prominent eyes separated on the sides of the head, short antennae protruding between or in front of the eyes, and membranous front wings. Cicada nymphs suck xylem sap of several species of trees, including oak, cypress, willow, ash and maple. Most cicadas go through a life cycle that lasts from two to five years. A predator with a shorter life cycle of at least two years with cicadas reliability of assault In Greek mythology, Tithonus eventually turns into a cicada after obtaining immortality but not eternal youth, by Zeus.


The cicada has represented insouciance from classical antiquity. Jean de La Fontaine began his collection of fables Les Fables de La Fontaine with the story La Cigale and the Ant (The Cicada and the Ant) based on one of Aesop's fables: in it the cicada spends the summer singing, the ant stores away, and went without food when the weather turns sour. In Japan, the cicada is associated with the summer season. The songs of the cicadas are often used in movies and television for the Japanese scene takes place in the summer.


Since the cicada emerges from the ground to sing every summer in Japan is considered a symbol of reincarnation is particularly important that the cicada silence, leaving an empty shell. But, since the cicada only lives for a short period of time long enough to attract a mate with its song and complete the fertilization process, are considered a symbol of transience. In the Japanese novel The Tale of Genji, the main character of his poetry equals a love interest of a cicada by how smoothly flowing scarf like a cicada shell lost when you move. A shell of the cicada also plays a role in winter cicada manga. 


In the classic Chinese novel Three Kingdoms Diaochan also got its name from the black-tailed decoration and shaped jade cicada (Chan), which at the time adorned the hats of high officials.

A snake is continuously moved in lateral undulation for the same effect of increasing the air pressure below the arcuate body to create a slide. Flying snakes are able to glide better than flying squirrels and other gliding animals, despite the absence of limbs, wings, wing extensions or other, glide through the forest and jungle life with a distance as great as 100 m.

With short legs, broad, rounded head and small eyes with short rounded ears, it resembles a bear more than others martens. Although his legs are short to facilitate his long legs and five fingers plantigrade posture movement in deep snow.Adult wolverine is about the size of a medium sized dog, with a length usually ranging from 65 to 107 cm (26-42 inches), a tail 17 to 26 cm (6.7 to 10 inches) and weighing 9-25 kg (20-55 lb) but exceptionally large males can weigh up to 32 kg (71 lb). Wolverines have thick, dark, oily, which is highly hydrophobic, making it. The pungent odor has resulted in the nickname "skunk bear" and "nasty cat.


The wolverine is a predator hunting versatile and powerful treasure. Prey is mainly composed of small and large mammals listed wolverine kill prey such as adult deer are larger distance themselves feed on species such as porcupines, squirrels, marmots, beavers, rabbits, voles, mice, shrews, lemmings, caribou, deer, white-tailed deer, mule deer, sheep, moose and elk The smaller predators sometimes hunted, including marten, mink, fox, lynx, Canada, weasels, bobcats and coyotes and pups. Wolverines often pursue live prey, which is relatively easy to obtain, including animals in traps, newborn mammals and deer (including elk and moose adults) is weakened if caught by winter or immobilized by snow. Most of the support wolverine on carrion, which almost exclusively in winter and spring from. Wolverines end up eating carrion after the predator feeds (especially wolf packs) or just take another predator. That eating live prey or carrion, Wolverine style appears voracious feeding anything.

Women often do not produce young if food is scarce. The gestation period is 30-50 days wolverine. Many cities, teams and organizations use the wolverine as a pet. For example, the State of Michigan is, by tradition, known as "The Wolverine State," and the University of Michigan wolverine as its mascot.

Tibetan Mastiff

The Life of Animals | Tibetan Mastiff | Currently, some breeders are two "types" of Tibetan Mastiff, Do-Khyi and Tsang-Khyi. Khyi-Tsang (which in Tibetan means "dog Tsang") is also called, type "monastery", described as generally taller, heavier, heavier boned with facial wrinkling and haw Do- Khyi or of "nomad". Dogs bred in western weighs 140 lbs (64 kg) and 180 pounds (82 kg), especially if they are in good condition and not overweight. Tibetan Mastiff is considered a primitive breed. Tibetan Mastiff coat one does not smell unpleasant "big-dog" that affects many large breeds. (Dog sterilization or bitch may dramatically affect the coat texture, density, and shedding pattern.)


Tibetan mastiffs are displayed in a standard in the West, but separated by the Indian breed standard into two varieties lion's head (or smaller, exceptionally long hair from forehead to withers, creating a necklace or mane) and Tiger Head ( Moreover, shorter hair). Native type of dog, which still exists in Tibet and other regions of the Himalayas (in Bhutan, Nepal and northern India), and race can vary temperament westernized, but not identical breeding dogs, all within "the same litter, raised in the same house. Some Western and Asian breeders are trying to create a replica of the legendary dog which they identify as "true Tibetan Mastiff" or Tsang-Khyi. Some breeders have crossed recognize Tibetan mastiff dog with Neapolitan Chinese curse, Chow Chow and other races in the creation of what is now called the market "dog. 


Inside socialized dog, you can thrive in a spacious courtyard, surrounded by a canine companion, but it is not generally suitable for an apartment dog. Breed dogs are generally more accommodating to the West, although somewhat aloof with strangers coming to the house. With hundreds of years of selective breeding flock protection and family guardian, the breed was recognized as a night watchman, keeping predators and intruders at bay, barking sounds for any over night. Tibetan Mastiff leaving one outside all night with neighbors nearby is not recommended. Are excellent family dogs good family. Lack of consistency, rational discipline can lead to dangerous dogs, unpredictable (even if this is true for almost all breeds of dogs).


Unlike most large breeds, life expectancy is long, some 10-14 years - at least a few lines. Others, clean lines more closely the production of short, dogs are not healthy. The breed has fewer genetic health problems than many breeds, but cases can be found of hypothyroidism, entropion, ectropion, skin problems including allergies, autoimmune problems including demodex, missing teeth abnormalities (bite or sting), disease problems heart, epilepsy, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), cataract, and small channels, ear, with a tendency to infection. As with most large dogs, some suffer from hip dysplasia or elbow. Demyelinative canine hereditary neuropathy (NIC), a hereditary disease, he appeared in one of the prominent Tibetan mastiffs lines in 1980.



Hypothyroidism is quite common in Tibetan mastiffs, as in many large breeds "North". Many dogs of this breed have "low" thyroid values but no clinical symptoms. Veterinarians and owners of different views on the relative merits of medication dogs that test "low" but are completely asymptomatic. It is an ancient breed. A very questionable laboratory study of Nanjing Agricultural University Animal genetics and breeding Molecular Evolution in Nanjing, China, found that while most common dog breeds genetically diverged from the wolf approximately 42,000 years, the Tibetan Mastiff genetically diverged from wolf approximately 58,000 years Many Tibetan Mastiff breeders and owners (and their websites) says Marco Polo encountered the large Tibetan dogs in his travels and described all this "tall as a donkey with a voice as powerful as that of a lion.


After 1980, the breed began to gain popularity worldwide. Although the breed is still considered somewhat "rare, since most active farmers stood and produced a sufficient number of dogs, problems and show organizations (FCI AKC) began to recognize the breed. Initially the breed suffered as a result of limited gene pool of the original stock, but today's reputable breeders work hard to reduce genetic problems through selective breeding and the international exchange of new blood lines. In 2008, the Tibetan Mastiff competed for the first time at the Westminster Kennel Club. A woman in China was reported to have spent more than 4 million yuan to buy a 18-month-old male Tibetan Mastiff breed which he named Yangtze No. 2 Were there other similar reports of dogs are sold at astronomical prices, however, most of them seem to be trying to drive farmers to price their dogs.

The Sumatran orangutan is more social than its counterpart in Borneo. For groups of orangutans gather to feed on the mass of fruiting bodies in the image. Mature males prefer to mate. Sumatran orangutans men sometimes., A delay of several years in the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as cheeks and droopy muscle mass The average Sumatran orangutan births is 9.3 years - the longest reported in great apes, including orangutans of Borneo. Infant orangutans stay with their mother for up to three years.


The Sumatran orangutan is endemic to the island of Sumatra and is mainly restricted to the north of the island. In the wild, orangutans of Sumatra survive in Aceh (NAD), the northern tip of Sumatra. A 2004 survey estimated that about 7,300 Sumatran orangutans still live in the wild. A breeding program was successfully implemented in Bukit Tiga Puluh National Park in Riau and Jambi provinces. Orangutans have 48 chromosomes. The Sumatran orangutan genome was sequenced in January 2011, based on a captured woman, Susie. After humans and chimpanzees Sumatran orangutan is the third existing hominid species, whose genome sequenced.


The researchers also published less complete copies of ten, five wild orangutans of Borneo and Sumatra five.

These dogs are considered descendants of the mastiff type dogs brought into the Alps by the Romans, and the St. Bernard is internationally recognized as one of the Hounds. The first written records of the St. Bernard breed are from monks at the hospice Grand Saint-Bernard in 1707, with paintings and drawings of the dog even earlier.

Animals raised therein are trained to attract a variety of dog sports such as karting and weight involved. Dogs Foundation Barry are smaller than the growth Bernard The St very fast and the weight of a St. Bernard can lead to very serious deterioration of the bones if the dog does not receive proper nutrition and exercise. Many dogs are genetically affected by hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia. The breed is also prone to epilepsy and seizures, heart disease called cardiomyopathy, and eczema.


Clubs in the United States and the United Kingdom to race put the average life expectancy of a Saint Bernard in 8-10 years. License Denmark 2003 (35 dogs), the average life of 9.5 years, while a British judge in 2004, this dog (53) the average life of seven years. San Bernardo went to England in the mid 19th century exported, where they were bred with mastiffs to create an even bigger dog. Commercial pressure encouraged breeding ever larger dogs until "the dogs was so great that the difficulties, one end of a show ring to another.


A 1895 New York Times mentions a St. Bernard named Major F. measures 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m) long, which, if the allegations are true, it would be the longest in the history of the dog. Another St. Bernard named Benedictine V Schwarzwald Hof (Pierson, Michigan - USA) also reached 315 pounds (143 kg), which earned him a place in the 1981 edition of the Guinness Book of Records.
