Piranha, Fish walks from Amazon

This is one figure of the inhabitants of the Amazon Basin in South America is famous. Large round eyes red, equipped with a sharp triangular teeth at the tip end, piranha fish.

piranha fish is fierce no doubt, even the Indians who are usually equipped with various magic science chose to leave the place when the gang met this fish.


Devil fish, the name given to Indian tribes that fish can leave the bones of a buffalo in a matter of minutes. Because that's keganasannya, piranha fish are prohibited from entering Indonesia without a clear purpose.

In Jakarta, piranha fish can be seen in the giant tank at Sea World Indonesia region Ancol, North Jakarta. Here also seen how quickly it ate fish.

piranha fish was one of those timid. Carnivor has high levels of stress and easy to die. For his defense, these fish form large groups.

In some parts of the earth there are several species similar to the piranha. In Indonesia, it briefly looked like the fish bawal freshwater fish.

Visually difficult to distinguish freshwater fish bawal red with piranhas are also red. As is usual freshwater fish meat is also good to eat piranha. But it was the red piranha weighing only 600 to 700 grams of the most famous is very fierce.

It is estimated that there are dozens of species of piranha that live along the Amazon River, South America. Several species weighed 5 pounds, similar kembaranya freshwater fish bawal. How many other species of life even as herbivores or plant eaters.

At first glance the red piranha fish most ferocious famous does not show an aggressive nature. Movements were limited and rigid. But when he found the food, this fish group very quickly invaded it.

For the hobbyists with the beauty of ornamental fish, had to bury his dream to preserve this fish legally. Because until now the Indonesian government still prohibits the entry into Indonesia piranha fish.

However, there are Internet sites that offer piranha fish with a relatively cheap price. To fish the size of 8 to 9 inches, is offered for $ 20 thousand dollars per cow. To the hobbyists might as well follow the government ban on piranha fish. Because it is not possible, these fish will become fierce predators of other living beings, when released into the river up.

Desert Animals

Many animals can survive in dry regions and desert heat. These animals have found a way to survive. But when compared with desert plants, desert animals more susceptible to the direct heat of the body. Both mammals, birds, and reptiles, these animals are out at night, when cooler air. In the afternoon, they took shelter under rocks and plants or in the holes. Animals that came out during the day has a way to distance themselves from the hot sand. For example animals "Jerboa Sahara" and the American kangaroo rats that have long hind legs to jump quickly on the ground.

Crazy Lizard is a lizard type found in the desert of the United States and Mexico. His movement is very slow, but it has fangs like a very poisonous snake. These lizards store fat in its tail and can survive for months without eating. There is another rattlesnake. Snake moves sideways for most of his body did not touch the ground with his head half-submerged in the sand.

Thin kit foxes that live in the Sahara Desert has a great ear to help release the heat from their bodies.

Because of the lack of water, some animals have been able to adjust themselves to the desert area. For example, a camel. They can go for days without eating and drinking. Fat contained in a supplementary feeding punuknya and provide energy for the body. Some other animals get the fluid they need from plants and insects they eat, they almost do not need to drink at all.

Turtle or tortoise?

These animals have a kind of enough. He lives in the sea and has similarities with turtles. These animals can swim up to speed 50km/hour. but he is very slow when on the ground. His movements are unique and distinctive as described acumen swimmer fascinating seabed. This may illustrate how unique and beautiful to see these animals free swimming below sea level. By moving the front legs to control the swimming speed and movement, the animal is moving fast on the seabed. Also with the help of the rear leg as a counterweight to the perfection of the style as a stunning pool.

Existence turtle

Turtle found in all oceans of the world. According to the data to scientists, sea turtles have existed since the late Jurassic period (145 to 208 million years ago) or the same age as the dinosaurs. At that time Archelon, length measuring six meters, and has been swimming in Cimochelys ancient sea turtles like the present.

Turtle form

Turtle has a pair of front legs of a leg which gave him the agility rower in the water swimming. Although his life wandering in the water, the occasional groups of vertebrate animals, reptiles classes that still have to occasionally rise to the surface of the water to take a breath. That's because turtles breathe with lungs. Turtle generally migrate to large distances with a time not too long. Distance of 3000 miles can be taken 58 to 73 days.Spawning period

Spawning period

Turtle has a variety of laying cycle, from 2 to 8 years. While male turtles spend their whole lives at sea, the females sometimes come to the mainland to lay their eggs. The female turtle liked the quiet sandy beach of the people and noise and light sources as a place that hundreds of eggs that, in holes dug with a pair of legs behind it. At the time of landing to lay eggs, disruption of light or sound can make a turtle out the attack and returned to the sea.

Turtle that hatched in the coastal waters of Indonesia have found around the Hawaiian Islands. Not much regeneration produced a turtle. From the hundreds of eggs released by a female turtle, at most only a dozen children who managed to turtles to the sea again and grow up. It did not take into account the factor of hunting by humans and natural predators such as crabs, birds and mice on the beach, and large fish so Tukik (son of turtle) the waters in touch.

In places where popular as a turtle laying eggs usually hatching station is now built to help improve the level of kelulushidupan (survival). In Indonesia, for example, there are hatching station at:

* The southern coast of West Java (Pangumbahan, Chelonia Cikepuh KSPL UNAS)
* The southern coast of Bali (near Kuta)
* Central Kalimantan (FNPF Branch River)
* South coast Lombok
* East Java (Alas Purwo)
Type turtle

In today's world there are only seven species of turtle that has survived, namely the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) turtle Kemp's Ridley (Lepidochelys kempi) sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles flat (Natator depressus ) turtle urn (Caretta caretta)

Of these seven species, only the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle that was never recorded was found in Indonesian waters.

Of these species, the turtle is the biggest starfruit with body length reaches 2.75 meters and weighs 600 to 900 pounds. Cracked turtle is the smallest, weighing about 50 kilograms. Demikin However, the most common type found in the green turtle. Turtles, especially the green turtle, is a plant-eating animals that occasionally prey on some small animals.

Turtle conservation

Almost all types of turtles belong to the list of animals protected by national laws or international because it was feared to become extinct due to the fewer numbers. In addition to star fruit turtle, two other species, Kemp's Ridley sea turtle and the hawksbill turtle are also classified as highly endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Green turtle (Chelonia mydas), turtle cracked or gray turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) and loggerhead turtle urn or (Caretta caretta) is classified as threatened with extinction. Only flat turtle (Natator depressus) is estimated not threatened.

Some people think the turtle is one of the marine animals that have many advantages. In addition to shell cendramata interesting, tasty meat to be Satay turtle stabbed efficacious herbs for medicinal and beauty. Especially in China and Bali, the turtle into the moon-monthly arrested, eaten, evicted from the beach, telurnyapun taken. Although the existing Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999 on the preservation of plants and animals, which protects all sea turtle species, the hunting of animals slow down this continues. To prevent the extinction of sea turtles, especially sea turtles starfruit, some countries have to protect the turtles lay their eggs. One of them is in the Medi Jamursba, which is located on the north coast of Irian. The beach was recently designated as conservation areas.

Different turtle and tortoise-turtle

The fundamental difference between the turtle with a turtle at sea life including sea turtles and the turtles live in fresh water or land, and sea turtles finned / angeltje while turtles have fingers (handed), head of the turtle can not get into the kerapas but turtles turtles get into the (sideways or into karapas).

Kelomang

Or popular Kelomang also called hermit crab, or a hermit crab, is not actually a sort of crab or crab. Kelomang land (this is commonly called kelomang, when in fact there are also kelomang sea) is closer to lobster than a crab, the proof? look at the way he moved. the crabs walk sideways while kelomang, such as lobster, walking forward.

many people think, Kelomang make their own shells, and shells continued to grow in line with developments such as the snail body. Unfortunately not. Kelomang always wearing a loan since childhood. Born early, he shaped larvae that float to the sea by his mother. Since can crawl, he used a loan from a snail shell.

each shell was started cramped or uncomfortable, he would find a new shell that is more suitable size. hence do not be surprised if he could dress snails, or even other objects such as bottles of balm, or other milk cans. main origin and comfortable fit, directly taken. In fact Indonesia is very much kelomang number. Of the 8 species commonly grown, there are 5 types of land kelomang recorded in Indonesia. but generally there are 4 types kelomang can be found almost throughout the island in Indonesia:

Coenobita brevimanus

Indonesia Kelomang typical. Beken with the title Indos or Indonesians. Generally purple. There is also the color of lilac, pink, lilac and chocolate. Can be larger Bodinya other types. Large claws and big eyes and a cylinder.

Coenobita perlatus

Bright red with a decorative white spots. Known as kelomang strawberry. Considered the most beautiful and much preferred. Kinda hard to find. The most difficult maintained because it is more sensitive to environmental changes.

Coenobita rugosus

Most lots on the coast of Indonesia. Many are sold in front of the school. Colors vary, brown, gray and black, white, beige, pink, young orange, light blue, purple, to red. Textures have the stripes on the front side of a large claw on the left.

Coenobita cavipes

Color combination of blue and black-black-gray ash. There is also a red. Claws slender elongated form. Anntenule bright red. The amount was much rugosus and brevimanus

Coenobita violascens

Once seen only in Japan. But violascens also found in Indonesia. Purple, flat, and protruding eyes. Slender legs elongated form similar to cavipes. Anntenule tip bright red.

Maintenance is not difficult. Just because the lack of information, which purchased kelomang children were locked up in a bucket. Not infrequently there is soaked. Indeed, they breathe with gills. However, if soaked in water for more than an hour, he could suffocate. Gills useful only when the larvae (Zoea) hatched in kelomang mother laut.Seekor measuring 2 cm kelomang can lay eggs around 1,000 points. A palm-sized can of course many more eggs, 40 - 50 thousand eggs. As fertile period, thousands of egg cells that form clots attached to the swimmeret, a number of fibers found on the outer surface of the abdomen or the abdomen Kelomang Bu.

A few days after the cell-cell fertilized eggs, larvae kelomang candidate ready to hatch. By their mother abandoned on the shore until the waves washed away. Women who do not take responsibility! After having 4 to 6 stages of metamorphosis, their shape resembles kelomang had grown but very small. They instinctively went down to the bottom of the sea to look for clothes or shells jobless.

Until now kelomang can not be cultivated outside their natural habitat. although there are some people who can claim actual kelomang cultivate their actions no more than kelomang harvesting of protected habitats. hence is not advisable to take kelomang still too small, or even ready to lay eggs kelomang from its original habitat. kelomang it any good.

If you want, we can maintain kelomang. Usually kelomang land Coenobitidae family. Type is not much, only eight species for the meantime. Species that are more precisely kelomang or kelomang sea water. It is estimated there are about 600 species with diverse characteristics and the number keeps growing. Unfortunately, despite the appearance of exotic sea kelomang maintenance much more difficult for marine aquarium needs.

Kelomang not fussy pets. Kelomang demands very simple life, where a comfortable and clean usually means having a base of dry sand and soft, and has adequate hiding places, water to drink fresh water is usually enough. Water for bathing, also do not need a deep, because if they sink might even die. Understandably they are land hermit crab; which means kelomang land. several shells ready for use, make change clothes when he was small. and of course food. which is also not bothered. in the wild, they are classified as omnivorous animals who would eat everything that can be eaten, starting from the leaves, fruit, until the carcasses or animal waste.

Cleanliness hermitarium - where maintaining kelomang, very important. Although interested in something rotten, if maintained should not be given rotten food. Therefore, there may be bacteria or small insects stuck and become parasites on the body of the kelomang. If there are leftovers that start to rot, get rid of hermitaríum.

If it was properly maintained, the hermit crab aka kelomang be aged up to 10 years, maybe even more. as a sort of lobster, of course, he also has the remarkable regeneration. Kelomang can even grow back a broken leg ... so it is quite possible he could live even longer than us.

It is not known by the traveler and the rise to the belief that this bird never landed, but remain in the air because the feather-thick. This is the origin of the name of paradise bird ( 'bird paradise' by the UK) and the type of apoda - which means' no knock '.

Many species have a complex ritual marry, marry the system with the kind of Paradisaea is male birds gather to compete in the show keelokannya female bird to be able to marry. While other types such as types of Cicinnurus and Parotia have a wedding dance uniform. Birds on the type of male sexual dimorfik is polygamy. Many bird hybrid that has been described as new species, and some species kevalidannya doubt. The number of eggs is rather less certain. On the type of large, probably almost always one egg.

Relationship with the Human

Communities in Papua Cendrawasih often wear fur in their clothing and customs, and a few centuries ago the wool is important for women's hats are made in Europe.

Hamster, who does the funny

Hamster is a kind of rodent animals. Forms such as mice. There are various types of animal in the world and in almost every country. Hamster to include in subfamili cricetinae. Subfamili is divided into about 18 species, classified in six or seven genus. Hamster is often used as experimental animals in the laboratory (due to their rapid reproduction) with rat and other rodent.

The characteristics of hamster

Hamster has a fat body, with a shorter tail than the body and has a furry ear, a foot wide,
short and short-fat. Hamster has a thick fur and long, and thick have different colors depending on the animal species, such as black, gray, white, brown, yellow and red. The lower part of the animal is a white to gray and black. Dzhungaria hamster (Phodopus sungorus) and the linear dwarf hamster (Cricetulus barabensis) has a black line under the middle of the back. dwarf hamster deserts (genus Phodopus) are smallest hamster, with a body length of 5 to 10 centimeters (about 2 to 4 inches), while the hamster is the biggest European hamster (Cricetus cricetus), with a body length of more than 34 centimeters, not including the short tail which has 6 centimeters long.

Hamster habitat

Hamster habitat located in the north of Europe until the middle of Siberia, Mongolia, and northern China to Korea. In the hamster habitat extends from southern Syria to Pakistan. They live on the border of the sand dune that divegetasi, foothill and lowland that with bushes and berbatu, in the river valley, and pasture area, some also live in the fields planting. Geographic distribution of some species divide, for example, found in the European hamster central Europe and western Siberia and northwestern China, but the golden hamster is found only in a small town in northwestern Syria.

What is food?

Hamster is being omnivora. Their food is usually rice grains, but also includes fresh fruit, root, part of the green plants, invertebrates and some other small animals (insects such as locusts). Hamster bring them food in their cheek pouch which is entered into the hole for their food. [1]. However, not all suitable for animal food, some foods, such as leaves from the tomato-toxic, food becomes the most dangerous for the hamster's health.

People may not know about food safety, such as cucumber to feed the chickens and their fresh fruit and toxic sitrus second opinion on this matter that there is one. Cucumber has very little good nutrition and can cause problems in heart, and some do not like the hamster taste of fruit sitrus, but sitrus safe to be on the hamster. Hamster exposed to the disease may not get diabetes food that contains sugar is high, such as fruit and corn. Components hamster food so divided 3 categories: dry, fresh, and food animals. [1]

Hamster behavior

Hamster is usually silent and nokturnal although it can be said also krepuskular and they sometimes active in the early morning or late afternoon. They are a good spade, make holes with the entrance of one or more of the gallery and is connected with the room for their nest, food warehouses and other events. There is no hamster berhibernasi during the winter, but some experience torpor occurred during the period of several days to several months.

Octopus

Friends saw the animal octopus called directly? Octopus in the English language is called the octopus moluska animals from the class Cephalopoda (paw is located in the head), ordo Octopoda with coral reefs in the ocean as the main habitat. Octopus consists of 289 species that include a third of the total species of the class Cephalopoda.

Physical form of octopus

Octopus has 8 arms with tools suck a hollow sphere-sphere in the arm that is used to move in the bottom of the seaand catch prey. Octopus arm is hidrostat muskuler structure that is almost entirely comprised of a layer without muscle or skeleton bones outside. Cephalopoda not like other animals, most of the octopus subordo Incirrata have a body that consists of muscles and bones without in order. Octopus does not have a body shell on the outside of the protector as well as the Nautilus, and have not in the body shell or bone, such as cuttlefish and squid. Terkeras is part of the octopus's body is used as jaw to kill prey and menggigitnya into small parts.

Very flexible body that allows the octopus to put themselves on a rock fissure is very narrow at the bottom of the sea, especially during the escape of fish such as pemangsa sea Moray eel. Octopus that are less known people from subordo Cirrata have two fin and in the body shell so that the ability to slip into a narrow room in a decrease.

The octopus has a relatively short life and some species only live for 6 months. Larger species such as the North Pacific giant octopus that the weight can reach 40 kilograms can live up to 5 years under the appropriate environmental conditions. Reproduction is one of the cause of the death, male octopus can only live a few months after marrying and female octopus die die soon after laying. Death due to negligence octopus to eat for about one month while maintaining the egg-hatch eggs that have not.

The stomach body wrap octopus called the mantle made of muscle and look like wings. Octopus has three heart consisting of two heart for pumping blood to the two gill and a heart for pumping blood throughout the body. Blood octopus Hemosianin contain protein that is rich with copper to carry oxygen.

Compared with a hemoglobin that is rich with iron, Hemosianin less efficient in oxygen transport. Hemosianin dissolved in plasma and not bound by red blood cells so that blood pale blue octopus. Octopus with breathing siphon water into the mantle cavity through the second gill disemburkan and out through the siphon tube. Gill with the octopus has a very fine division, growth came from the outside of the body or part in the vaskulerisasi.

Intelligent animals

Octopus is very intelligent animals and are likely among the most intelligent of all invertebrates animals. Octopus ingenuity often become the subject of debate among experts in biology. Explore the way the results of an experiment in maze and solve the problem indicates that the octopus have a short-term memory and long-term memory, even though the short live octopus that makes knowledge octopus can learn to be limited. Octopus nervous system has a very complex, with some sort of terlokalisir in the brain. Two-thirds of the nerve cells found in the nerve cords in the eight-arm octopus.

Octopus arm can perform a wide variety of complex reflex movement, triggered by 3 stages of the nervous system is different. Some types, such as octopus octopus can mimic the arm-lengannya to mimic the movement of other sea animals. In the experiment in the laboratory, octopus can be easily taught to distinguish the various forms and patterns. Octopus can open a close study of the toples see it, even though the invention of this dipertentangkan often based on a variety of reasons.

Octopus ever found are doing the movement that, according to some people as being in play. In many times, octopus throw bottles and toys in the middle of the circular flow of water in the aquarium and then try to catch it.

Although all types of PINGUIN originally came from the southern hemisphere, but PINGUIN not only found in cold regions or in the Antarctic alone. PINGUIN There are three species that live in the tropics. One of the species living in the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos PINGUIN) and usually cross the equator line to search for food.

As the, drive nails koala-kukunya on a tree, and so stick to the trees on the surface of the soft and smooth. This is what makes koalas live easily in the top of the tree.



Although koalas are very lazy, they can move very quickly on the tree. Or they can jump from one branch to another branch of the distance of one meter with a single leap.
