61. Introduction To The Scorpiones
    A brief description of scorpion history, biology and taxonomy from UCMP Berkeley.  
    http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/arachnida/scorpiones.html
    
    Extractions: Scorpions are the oldest arachnids for which fossils are known, and they were the first arachnid fossils to be found in Paleozoic strata. The Silurian scorpions appear to have lived in the water, since their fossils have gills, but by the Carboniferous scorpions with such features are no longer found fossils from the Pennsylvanian age Mazon Creek beds have book lungs covered by protective plates, and so were probably land-dwellers. The best scorpion fossils come from the Devonian and the Oligocene; there is a severe lack of fossils known from the intervening period. These earliest scorpiones are considered to be Protoscorpions, since they possess many traits which are plesiomorphic for scorpions. For example, in all scorpions the thick front portion on the abdomen is made up of seven segments, but the number of sternite plates which cover this region varies among the earliest fossils, while all living species have five. All scorpions have an additional five segments after the initial seven, ending in a sharp sting. This sting contains a pair of poison glands which can paralyze prey, usually insects or small rodents , or may deliver a painful sting to incautious persons. Most scorpion stings are merely painful, leading to swelling in the immediate region of the sting, but some scorpions of northern Africa and the American southwest can be deadly. In the US, the deadliest scorpions are to be found in Arizona, where it is a good idea to shake out shoes before putting them on in the morning!

    http://www.scipub.net/aquaculture/palaemonid-prawns.html
    
    Extractions: The book is based on a vast collection of original material from many parts of the oceans. It reviews the effects of nutritional conditions on the vertical and horizontal distribution of the deep-sea fauna based on examination of the food contents of large numbers of trawl-and-grab caught benthos. The book also describes the global pattern of eutrophic and oligotrophic conditions in the abyss. In particular, it introduces a new 'near-continental' eutrophic zone, where specific feeding conditions occur throughout all oceans.

66. The Lurker's Guide To Stomatopods - Mantis Shrimp
    A comprehensive guide to mantis shrimps (stomatopods). Includes image galleries, articles on their biology and taxonomy, and howto notes for reef aquarists.  
    http://www.blueboard.com/mantis/
    
    Extractions: Stomatopods (mantis shrimps) are predatory crustaceans that live in the shallow waters of tropical and subtropical seas. They use specialized raptorial appendages to capture and subdue prey by either "spearing" the animals or "smashing" them with heavily calcified clubs. The force of the strike of a large Californian species approaches that of a 22 caliber bullet, and is capable of breaking double layered safety glass. They are, weight for weight, probably the most formidable animals alive. I have been interested in mantis shrimps since I first read about them in early 1998 , and I hope this site will give you a very good idea why mantis shrimps are one of the most remarkable and fascinating animals on earth.

    Extractions: Dwarfs inhabiting Lowland Rainforest would be considered a different species if the two forms didn't interbreed at the forest edge. Only 7 ft 10 in to 9 ft 2 in (2.4 2.8 m) tall, wt 3960 to 7040 lb (1800-3200 kg), with straight, downward pointing, parallel tusks, more oval ears, front feet with 5 nails, rear feet with 4. Amboseli NP, Masai Mara GR, Kenya; Tarangire and Ruaha NP (dry season), Tanzania; Kafue NP, Zambia; Mana Pools and Hwange NP, Zimbabwe; Chobe NP, Moremi GR, Botswana; Kruger NP, South Africa; Etosha NP, Namibia. Arguably the world's most versatile herbivore. Equipped with its unique nasal appendage an all in one grasping, smelling, drinking, squirting, broadcasting tool a big elephant feeds from ground up to 20 feet higher than a giraffe can reach. The trunk can coil around and pull up grass, pick up peas, and tear off tree limbs. Tusks are also tools for prying bark loose, digging pits and even caves in mineral earth to increase salt intake. Rasplike teeth grind up the toughest grasses, reeds, bark, and branches. Some bulls specialize in pushing over big trees. Elephant dung consists largely of fiber that passes undigested through its comparatively small system. To compensate, adults consume and quickly process vast amounts: c. 330 lb/day (150 kg/day). Grass and herbs are mainstays in rainy season when elephants wander widely over the savanna; foliage and other browse are important in dry season when they feed more in forests, near water. Elephant trails that once crisscrossed the continent were the roadways used by human travelers. Many of today's highways are simply widened and paved trails engineered by elephants.

71. Dragoo's Wild Skunk Information
    Detailed information about the biology and taxonomy of the skunk family, with a section on rabies in skunks.  
    http://www.dragoo.org/
    
    Extractions: The primary goal of this site is to provide basic biological information pertaining to wild skunks. We will attempt to provide our understanding of placement of skunks on the tree of life (evolutionary relationship to weasels and other carnivores), as well as the natural history and general biology of the various species of skunks. We also will try to provide information on how to deal with "problem" animals. We will provide our sources for the information either by referencing the scientific literature or web sites made available by researchers or organizations. The links on the left side of these pages point to the various topics related to skunk biology. This site will be growing over the next few weeks and months (and years). We will be adding pictures and possibly video of various skunk species. Currently we are trying to compress the images to downloadable sizes (remember, we are biologists not web masters).

They are placed in one genus, Tapirus , with four species. Three of these species live in South America, ranging from southern Mexico through central America to Venezuela, and south to Paraguay and Brazil. The fourth species, the Malayan tapir, inhabits Burma and Thailand south to Malaya and Sumatra. Tapirs are shy, reclusive rainforest animals that live in nearly any wooded or grassy habitat with a permanent supply of water. They have also been found in dry deciduous forests and mountain forests. Tapirs are about the size of a donkey. Their body is rounded in back and tapering in front well suited for rapid movement through thick underbrush. They also have a very short tail. Tapirs have bristly hairs scattered all over the body, and an inconspicuous mane is present on two of the South American species. All the South American tapirs are uniform dark brown or gray in color, whereas the Malayan tapir is black on its hind legs and the entire front of its body, and creamy white through its midsection. All tapirs have a short, fleshy proboscis formed by the snout and upper lips. This proboscis is more elongated in the South American species. Tapir eyes are small and flush with the side of the head; their ears are oval, erect, and not very mobile.

One, found in northern Africa and central Asia, consists of the dromedary (one-humped camel) and bactrian camels (two-humped camel). Dromedaries and most bactrian camels exist today only in domestication. The other group, the South American camelids, includes 2 to 4 species. Llamas and alpacas, sometimes considered to be the same species, may both have been derived from the guanaco through a thousand years or more of domestication. Guanacos and vicugnas still exist in the wild, although wild populations of both are depleted and threatened. Camelids are all large. The South American forms range in weight from 35 kg to almost 100 kg. Old World camels, however, are much larger, weighing 450 to 650 kg. Camelids vary in body shape from slender to stocky, but all have long, gracile necks; a small head; and long, slender legs. The upper lip is deeply and distinctively cleft. Their toes are splayed, and camelids are the only

Fox Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Suidae Members of this Family Sus scrofa , from which the domesticated pigs are derived, in a variety of places around the world, including North America, New Zealand and New Guinea. Fossil suids are known from the Oligocene of Europe and Asia and the Miocene of Africa. These medium-sized animals are typically stocky with a barrel-like body. The skin is usually thick and sparsely haired. Head and body length ranges from 500-1900 mm, tail length ranges from 35-40 mm and adult body weight can be as high as 350 kg. The eyes are usually small and located high on the skull, and the ears are small and pointed. The skull is usually long and has a flat dorsal profile. One of the most notable characteristics of suids is the mobile snout, which has a cartilaginous disk at its tip and terminal nostrils. It is supported by a prenasal bone located below the

    Extractions: editLink('skunkworks/.accounts/200310302246') 2004/05/18 13:29:08.975 GMT-4 By Phil Myers Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Pholidota Members of this Order Pangolins are a small group (seven living species placed in one genus and one family, Manidae) of mammals that feed mostly on ants. They are found in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Pangolins are conspicuous and remarkable because their backs are covered with large, overlapping scales made up of agglutinated hairs. But they are strange in other ways as well. Their tongue is extraordinarily long and muscular, arising from the pelvis and the last pair of ribs deep in the animal's chest. As a result, the tongue and associated muscles are longer than the animal's head and body, allowing the tongue to be extruded to an astonishing degree. Pangolins lack teeth. Instead, the the pyloric part of their stomach is thickened and muscular, with odd keratinous spines projecting into its interior. It usually contains pebbles and seems to be used for "chewing" in much the same way as a bird's gizzard. Pangolins have the ability to close their ears and nostrils as well as eyes, presumably to keep ants out. The skull of pangolins is smoothly conical, lacking the ridges and crests found on most mammalian crania. The

The forefeet have 5 toes. The soles of their fore- and hindfeet, which are moistened by special sweat glands, are remarkably soft and elastic, which works to increase their friction against the substrate. They have specialized muscles in the soles of the feet that help them to work almost like a suction cup. The feet of hyraxes are mesaxonic, meaning that the plane of symmetry of the foot goes through the third digit. In this they resemble perissodactyls. The skulls of hyraxes have a short rostrum, prominent
