Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

OKAY EVERYBODY..... It’s time to say goodbye because this is our LAST BLOG. This week we will be talking about the Eumicrotremus orbis, more commonly known as the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker. These weird creatures have modified pelvic regions that help them stick to things with suction cups.

Nutritional Requirements:

While in the wild, the feed on crustaceans that are slowly moving near them. They also eat worms, and mollusks. These animals are on the ocean floor mixed in with all the mud and sand.

Growth and Development:

Lumpsuckers are incredibly small fish that grow to be about 2.5-7.5cm. Very few exceed this size, but it is very rare. The largest one ever found was about 5 inches long.

Behavior:

These fish like being by themselves in the water, they aren’t usually found in groups. They when they feel threatened, they will either hide in rocks and sand found on the ocean floor, or they will swim in different directions.

Reproduction:

Female lumpsuckers will lay their eggs during the warm months of July-October. The male fish later come along and fertilize the eggs.  The boy fish is responsible for them eggs until they hatch and takes care of them by using their lumpsuckers to attach to rocks and be near them at all times to save the eggs from predators.

Evolutionary Origins:

These crazily named fish come from the waters of the North Atlantic and North pacific oceans. They mostly live off the coast of Iceland.

Habitat:

The Pacific Spiny lumpsucker has many habitats that it can live in. Although, wherever they are, they will use their suction cups to attach to a hard surface such as a rock. They can live on rocky seafloors with some plant life, eelgrass beds, places where algae grows, etc.

Jersey Cattle

Hey everybody! Back again for blog #30! ARE you excited to learn about the Bos taurus, more commonly known as the jersey cattle?!

Taxonomic Classification-  Cows

   Jersey cattle are a small breed of dairy cattle. Originally bred in the Channel Island of Jersey, the breed is popular for the high butterfat content of its milk and the lower maintenance costs attending its lower body weight, as well as its genial disposition.

The Jersey breed originated on the Island of Jersey, a small British island in the English Channel off the coast of France. The Jersey is one of the oldest dairy breeds, having been reported by authorities as being purebred for nearly six centuries.

The breed was known in England as early as 1771 and was regarded very favorably because of its milk and butterfat production. At that early date, the cattle of Jersey island were commonly referred to as Alderney cattle although the cattle of this island were later referred to only as Jerseys. Jersey cattle were brought to the United States in the 1850’s.   The Jersey cow is quite small ranging from only 880–1,100 lb The main factor contributing to the popularity of the breed has been their greater economy of production, due to:The ability to carry a larger number of effective milking cows per unit area due to lower body weight, hence lower maintenance requirements, and superior grazing ability.

High butterfat conditions, 4.84% butterfat and 3.95% protein, and the ability to thrive on locally produced food. Castrated males can be trained into fine oxen which, due to their small size and gentle nature, make them popular with young teamsters. Jersey oxen are not as strong as larger breeds however and are generally out of favor among competitive teamsters.

Dehydration also is common for Jerseys, so producers need to get fluids into newborn calves quickly. This starts with high-quality colostrum, which is a vital component to calf hood growth and development.Colostrum should be harvested clean and fed within two hours of birth.

THE END!

bearded emperor tamarin

     The bearded emperor tamarin or scientifically, the Saguinus imperator subgrisescens, is in the Animalia kingdom, Chordataphylum, Mammalia class, Primates order, Callitrichidae family, and Saguinus genus.

     The bearded emperor tamarin is described as a monkey subspecies of the emperor tamarin, distinguished by their drooping white mustache. Their fur is gray and dotted with yellow or brown spots. They have black hands and feet with a long brown tail up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) in length. On each limb, they have claws used to climbing trees. They grow up to 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) and weight 1 pound (.45 kilograms). Bearded emperor tamarins are very social and they live in social groups of two to fifteen others, led by the eldest female of the group and followed the other males. When they sense danger, they shriek to warn the others members to defend their territory. Their decline of population is caused by predators such as wild cats, dogs, snakes, and birds and also humans destroying habitats. Bearded emperor tamarins are omnivorous, eating both plants and animals. Their plant dietconsists of fruit, nectar, and tree sap. Their animal diet consists of insects, bird eggs, and small reptiles.

     The bearded emperor tamarin is found in tropical rain forests in Central and South American from southwest Amazon Basin in Brazil, eastern Peru. and northern Bolivia. They are most active during the day, leaping on trees with their social groups and they sleep in the trees during the night.

The bearded emperor tamarin breeds April to July in which the female emits pheromone chemicals, alerting the males. In each group, the two oldest males and two oldest females breed and reproduce. The female’s gestation period lasts between 140 to 145 days, giving birth to two or three young. The whole tamarin group takes care of the young and the males usually carry and groom the babies. The baby tamarin walks at 2 to 5 weeks and eats solid food at 4 to 7 weeks. They become independent at 10 to 18 weeks but they still stay within their group. They are weaned at 15 to 25 weeks and reach sexual maturity at 2 years old.

Fun Fact: The emperor tamarin is said to resemble the facial hair of the last emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II.

Chipmunk

Hey guys! We are back for blog #26! This week we will learn about the Tamias, more commonly known as the chipmunk. 

Nutritional Requirement:

chipmunks are omnivorous, which means that they eat both plants and meat. they will eat mostly nuts, seeds, fruits, etc, but will also eat insects, worms, bird eggs, and frogs. 

Growth and Development:

Chipmunks weigh around 1.8-5.3 ounces and are from 7.1-9.8 inches long. when they are newborn, they range from about 1.1-1.8 ounces. they become sexually mature when they are about 10 months old. Mature females are larger than mature males. 

Behavior:

chipmunks dig burrows for reasons such as for foraging or for nesting. The shallow burrows are for foraging during the day, while the deeper ones are for nesting during the night. chipmunks might be close to other chipmunks, but they are not social animals. 

Reproduction:

Chipmunks are sexually mature when they are about 10 months old. their mating call is the reason they are called chipmunks. the gestation period of a chipmunk is around 31 days. the liter size of chipmunks range from one to eight offspring. 

Habitat:

the main habitat for chipmunks is the forest, woodland, or bushland, although many chipmunks live close to the rural areas. They can live in urban parks and will be seen by humans that are passing by. If a human comes too close, they will go hide in their burrows, where they live.

Red Panda

Hey everybody!Wow we are already to the last blog before spring break! Time to learn about the Ailurus fulgens, more commonly known as the Red Panda. 

This animal is really weirdly named because it has small relation to the giant black and white panda that is thought of at the use of the word “panda”. Red pandas are related to the panda and raccoon but they are classified in their own unique family, which is odd because you would think that it would be in the family of pandas.

Nutritional Requirement:

These animals are actually quite smart. Unlike the giant panda, who eats mostly bamboo that can be found a lot easier, the red panda finds the most nutritious leaves and roots to eat. They also eat fruits and bugs that they find in their habitat.

Growth and Development:

Red Pandas usually take about a year after they’re born to grow to their adult size. They reach sexual maturity about 6 months after that, when they are about 18 months old. Adult Red Pandas usually grow to be about 8-14 pounds and 24 inches long not including the tail which is about 16 inches long.

Behavior:

Red Pandas are active during the day, but are most active during dawn and dusk. They are awake only 40% of the day. When males and females are enclosed and cannot get away from each other, they get very aggressive. These animals are solitary animals and most of the time like to be by themselves.

Reproduction:

Red Pandas breed with each other in the months January- March. Implantation takes a lot longer than you would think. It takes 90-158 days for implantation to fully process. Once they are born, they won’t reach maturity until they reach 18 months.

Habitat:

Red Pandas live in places in China, Northern Myanmar, etc. They live in rainy forests with high altitude and humidity. Some live in the mountains. They can live in most regions, depending on the food sources.

Taxonomic Classification:

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Family:  Ailuridae

Vultures grow to weigh up to 33 pounds and could be 4 feet tall. The smallest vulture weighs about 4 pounds. That’s a wide range for size! Their overall size depends on what type of vulture it is and where they live. 

Behavior:

Once vultures have children, they stay together until it’s fall. They spend about 9-10 months together once the young is born. These animals enjoy being in groups other than during the day, which is when they forage. 

Reproduction:

Breeding season for vultures is in March and April. Once the eggs are laid in their spot, it will take 60 days or less for the eggs to hatch. Two eggs are laid, but one of them is only a backup if the main one doesn't make it. Once hatched, they are taken care of for about 9-10 months. 

Habitat:

You can find vultures all over most of the world. They can be fund in Europe, asia, the americas, etc. They live in pastures, grasslands, wetlands, deserts, and even more. They have even been found nearby in alabama.

Tortoises usually live to be older than 100 tears old. The oldest one on record live to be 152 years old. They can grow to weigh over 500 pounds and can be about 5 feet in height. 

Reproduction: 

Tortoises reproduce sexually. They do not have a specific mating season and can be impregnated at any point in the year. They do prefer to mate in wet or humid conditions rather than dry and hot. The male tortoises must fight over the females and can become very aggressive. 

Habitat:

Depending on the type of tortoise, they might like to live in very dry and arid places. Others love living in tropical places and lakes. It all depends on what they are used to or what they could adapt to. You can find tortoises in deserts, islands, etc.

Nutritional Requirement;

Chameleons mostly eat organisms in the anamalia kingdom. They eat things like silk worms, moths, locusts, insects, grasshoppers, and stick bugs. If desperate enough, these guys will eat plants but they do not prefer it. 

Growth and Development:

Chameleons are born really tiny and do not get too much bigger throughout their lifetime. The they are newborns, they weigh just about a gram. While they grow bigger, they will shed their top layer (s) of skin to stay healthy. chameleons usually grow to be about 14 inches long. 

Behavior:

Chameleons are very territorial creatures that stand up to other animals like them. These creatures can change the color of their skin based on their mood or health status. 

Reproduction:

The chameleon only has to reach about a year old to be sexually active. they reproduce sexually but do not produce live young, they produce eggs that will later hatch. These eggs stay in a hole until ready to enter the world. 

Habitat:

Chameleons love to live in the rainforest trees and the ones in flatlands too. Most live in Southern Europe, Southern Asia, Africa, and Madagascar. If you are looking for one, look closely because it could be camouflaged to look like a tree.

amazon river dolphin

Hey guys! We’re back for blog #17! This week we will be learning about the Inia geoffrensis, or more commonly known as the amazon river dolphin

Taxonomic classification:

kingdom: animalia     phylum: chordata    class: mammalia      order: artiodactyla

family: Iniidae

Nutritional Requirement:

Their diet primarily consists of fish, and they depend on healthy fish populations for their survival, feasting upon over 50 types of fish. They also consume shellfish, crabs, crustaceans, and even small turtles.

Growth and Development:

 In the wild, the average life expectancy of these animals is only 33 months. However, in captivity, they have been recorded to have lived between 10 and 30 years.

Behavior: 

The Amazon River Dolphins are social and friendly creatures, living since centuries in the Amazon and its tributaries. Usually seen roaming alone, or in pairs during the mating season, these dolphins would hover in groups of 10 to 15 when there is an abundance of prey. Like most other species, these dolphins sleep with one eye open.

Reproduction: 

Courtship and mating foreplay have also been recorded with the male nibbling the female’s fins. However, if the female is not receptive, the male would react aggressive. The frequency of intercourse in a couple is high, and they have been observed to use at least three different sex positions lying head to head, lying head to tail, and contacting the womb at right angles.

Evolutionary origins: 

A characteristic that is unique to these dolphins is the presence of stiff hairs on the beak, which are sensory organs aiding them to sense the presence of a prey in the muddy river bottoms. These water mammals have conical teeth in the front portion of their mouths, which is ideal for holding their prey. The molar teeth situated in the rear end of their mouths are shaped ideally for grinding food before they swallow. This is known as ‘heterodont’ dentition.

Habitat: 

Botos are generally concentrated below the confluences of the channels. They dwell in the fast flowing, whitewater, clearwater or blackwater rivers of the lowlands. But they are strictly freshwater mammals. They are also found in the lakes, the largest tributaries of the rivers, and seasonally in the flooded rainforests.

Pit bull

Hey guys! Back for blog #16! This week’s will be on the Canis lupus familiaris, more commonly known as a pit bull! 

Taxonomic Classification:

Kingdom: Animalia     Phylum: Chordata      Class: Mammalia      Order: Carnivora        Family: Canidae

Nutritional Requirement:

These dogs are mostly domesticated and could be fed any ordinary dog food. They also eat other meats and whatever else they can get their paws on. They can eat pretty much everything except grapes, chocolate, peanut butter, etc. 

Growth and Development:

When pit bulls are born, their size can range from 6 ounces to multiple pounds. When they grow to adult size, they will weigh anywhere from 30-60 pounds. It takes them up to 2 years to grow to their full size. 

Behavior:

Pitbulls are known for their very violent and aggressive behavior, but not all of them are this way. Only the dogs that are taught to fight or react this way actually are violent. If they are raised to be social and are trained early on, the dog overcomes the violent instincts. 

Reproduction:

Some pit bulls are bred to sell to multiple types of buyers. Breeders look for dogs with desired traits and breed them to make perfect puppies. The gestation period is about 8-10 weeks. 

Habitat:

Most pit bulls are domesticated and either live in a shelter or a home. But inevitably, some live in the wild without a home. They are all over most countries, but originally came from the united kingdom and united states.

Taxonomic Classification:

Kingdom: Anamalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Sarcopterygii

Order: Carnivora

Family: Felidae

Nutritional Requirements: 

Caracal mainly hunt rodents and birds. Since most of the food they eat are covered in fur, they use their claws to take it off so that they can avoiding swallowing lots of fur. They don't do this with birds, because their stomachs ARE tolerate of feathers. 

Growth and Development: 

The average caracal grows to weigh around 26 pounds. They will get about 2.4 feet long. It will take this organism about 18 months to reach full size and about 1 year to reach sexual maturity. 

Behavior:

This organism is mainly nocturnal and solitary. During mating season, you would be able to see the caracals in a habitat together. Like other normal cats, they purr when they're content, growl when upset in any way. 

Reproduction:

During mating season, they mate and then the male caracal leaves. The mother caracal gives birth and takes care of the baby. The gestation period rages from 78-81 days. 

Habitat:

These cats mainly live in arid and dry areas, but also can live in woodlands and savannas. Some even live in desert areas.

Donkey

Hey guys! It time to end this semester of blogs. Our last blog is going to be about the donkey, also known as the  Equus asinus. 

Taxonomic Classification:

Domain:Eurkarya Kingdom:Animalia Phylum:Chordata Class:Mammalia Order:Perissodactyla Family: Equidas

Nutritional Requirement:

Donkeys eat grass, hay, and barley straw. They also eat mostly garbage (anna kathryn) and confine nutrients in a dry environment. If the grass or hay is damp, it is insufficient for their needs. 

Growth and Development:

Donkeys can grow to be 5 feet tall and weigh 1,000 pounds. Female donkeys, also known as a jenny, usually reach adulthood at age 2. Male donkeys, also known as a jack, usually reach adulthood at age 3 or 4. 

Behavior:

Donkeys usually live in herds which are social groups lead by a group leader. Donkeys can be very disrespectful and violent if they feel unsafe. These animals have a legitimate reason for their actions, they just don’t understand how to control them.    

Reproduction:

Donkeys mate with horses to reproduce horse-donkeys. Donkeys are born with 62 chromosomes. They reproduce 1 baby donkey, also known as a hinny, per birth. These babies stay with their mothers for about 2 years and then live on their own.

Habitat:

Like I said before, donkeys live in herds that have a leader. They are said to come from Africa, but are now mostly domesticated and living with their owner. They live in hot and harsh environments that suit their needs.

Happy Holidays! see you in a few weeks!

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata 

Class: Sarcopterygii

Family: Sarcopterygii

Genus: Sarcopterygii

Nutritional Requirements:

The glass frog is carnivorous, which means they eat meat. They eat insects and other soft bodied small things and different types of spiders. Some eat arthropods and flies.

Growth and Development:

Glass frogs usually grow to be about 0.78 inches long. The bigger ones can grow to be 3 inches. The weigh approximately 20 ounces 1 pounds. 

Behavior: 

Glass frogs are nocturnal, which means that they are active during the nighttime. Although, they can be found guarding their eggs during the day as well. 

Reproduction:

Reproduction season  depends on the weather. The males get highly triggered when other males try to steal their women.  They do not like to be in the vicinity of any other male frogs. When the female frog reproduces, they lay about 20-30 eggs. 

Habitat:

 They live in humid places in rainforests and they live to live in the trees and on the moist ground.  They lay their eggs in a safe place that they find near their home. They must be near a watercourse so that they do not get dehydrated in their hot climate.
