Savannas are located in the dry tropics and the subtropics, often bordering a rainforest. Savannas have an extended dry season and a rainy season. Animal Adaptations: The animals that live in savannas have adapted to a great deal of variability in the food supply throughout the year; there are times of plenty (during and after the wet season) and times of almost no food or water (during the dry season). Many savanna animals migrate to deal with this problem. Where are Savannas?

Coral Reef Freshwater Marsh Animal Printouts Freshwater marshes are a type of wetland that is teeming with both animal and plant life. Freshwater marshes are usually low-lying, open areas located near creeks, streams, rivers and lakes, where water flows into the marsh. Marshes are especially common at the mouths of rivers. The water level in freshwater marshes usually ranges from 1 to 6 feet deep (for most of the year); this water is rich in minerals and the water level varies seasonally. In the United States, the biggest freshwater marsh in the United States is the Florida Everglades (in southwestern Florida). The waterlogged land in marshes supports many low-growing plants, like grasses and sedges; there are few trees in marshes. Some marsh plants are cattail, sawgrass, water lily, pickerel weed, spike rush, and bullrush. Some animals live in the water (including fish, crabs

The whole process you can see now, watching the movements of the deltriver-bed of Amu-Darya during the stormy spring floods. A t the endless territory of Turan lowland, where Turkestan is situated, two biggest deserts of the world are located - Kara-Kum and Kyzyl-Kum, which are separated with Amu-Darya. The desert Kara-Kum - "black sands" - was named not because of the colour of sand, but because of dark-green bush-woods of the black saxaul and the tree-like solyanka - cherkes and juzgun. Only Kyzyl-Kum - "red sands" - justifyes its name. D esert is hot and dry territory. Often winters are soft, snowcoverless here. From May till October as usually it is not raining. Sometimes in summer the dusty storm rushes over the desert, brought the stormciouds, the sky is pierced with the light-nings, it is thundering, but drops do not fall on the ground - they turn into air in the scorching air. The long frostfree period - about 240 days in the south and 270 days in the south-west - gives the possibility with the beginning of the spring rains to grow the grass up again and to walk fat for the herbivorous animals before the beginning of the frosts.

In the swift waters of Amu-Darya, the river with the stone bottom, live many kinds of pecular fishes. In the peaceful back-waters sazans, zanders, barbels, sheat fishes, which weight can reach up to 100-150 kg. live. In the coastal tugai jungles of the rivers the local beauty - pheasant (the "firebird") - nests. Also croakers, grey and red herons and numerous of insectivorous birds, which fly for the nestling in spring, live in the tugai jungles. After the beginning of autumn the howl of the tugai deer - khangul - rushes over the jungles, challenging a rival for the duel. When it is dark the reed cat - khaus - goes out to hunt: the noisy crowd of wild boars go to the feeding. The fox, stepping carefully at the animal's path, goes for the prey; with friendly howl the thievish jockals and wolfs inform about the beginning of the hunt. H aving got the third part of the water of Amu-Darya, like a river which has high' water level, the Kara-Kum canal runs through the hollow of Keliphsky LJzboy to the depth of southern Kara-Kum. There are a lot of water reservoirs on the way of 1500 km. of the canal till Krasnovodsk. Because of big filtration of water through the sandy walls of the canal, along the canal were formed reed lakes, in which many kinds of fishes, nest ducks, herons, big and small bitterns live.

August 12, 2002 an online newsletter for and by NOAA employees Respecting Animals in the Wild - The Campaign of NOAA Fisheries' Office of Law Enforcement By Sandra Curtin While you're enjoying that lovely summer day at the shore, you may encounter something you didn't expect - a seal or sea lion. Summertime brings an increasing number of seals and sea lions to America's beaches and rocks. Although these animals are often believed to be stranded, sick, injured, orphaned or abandoned, they are usually just "hauled out". This term means that a marine mammal has come to shore to rest, avoid predators, give birth, care for pups, or shed hair (annual moult). This behavior is normal for seals and sea lions. "Pupping season has begun for harbor seals. The mothers leave to go forage for food and are gone up to two or three days at a time, said Special Agent John Bowyer, NOAA Fisheries Office for Law Enforcement/Northwest Division. "If humans or dogs are present at the time they return, they won't come up from the water. This puts the pup in jeopardy of being left an orphan." Out of misguided concern, citizens sometimes try to return the animals to the water, feed them inappropriate foods, or pose for photos. When people do this, they inadvertently put themselves in danger, as well as risk the health and well-being of the seals and sea lions.

Do not litter - mind every critter LITTER IS DANGEROUS TO ANIMALS Broken glass is just as dangerous to animals as it is to people walking barefoot. Wild animals do not have the chance to see a doctor when a piece of broken glass or a broken bottle has made a cut in its paw. Tiny needlelike pieces of glass can pierce a paw. Even unbroken bottles can be lethal traps to shrew-mice, mice, and moles. While looking for food, the animals may go inside the bottle and get trapped there, unable to climb up the slippery glass wall. Hedgehogs, foxes, raccoon dogs, and cats, among other animals, may get their heads stuck inside empty cans while looking for food. Cans are twice as dangerous if the lid is still partly intact. The lid may prevent an animal from pulling its head or paw out of the can. The plastic soda can holders can cause terrible damage to animals. Animals may get strangled in the plastic holders or starve to death because the holder is stuck around the beak or muzzle. Ducks get easily stuck in these plastic holders while digging in the shallow waters. The aluminum soda can openers stuck in bird beaks have caused many deaths.

Overall, the species is the smallest of the wild equids (horses, asses, and zebras). A typical African wild ass stands about four feet at the shoulder and weighs about 600 pounds. (To put it in perspective, the average Grevy's Zebra stands five feet at the shoulder and weighs 900 pounds.) Check Out Those Legs! Somali wild asses are mostly gray in color, with a white belly. They do have one outstanding feature: the horizontal stripes on their legs. With legs like that, it's no surprise these animals are closely related to zebras. Like all African wild asses, the Somali subspecies has long, narrow hooves the narrowest of any equid. This unique design allows the animals to be swift and surefooted in their rough, rocky habitat.

Centre for the Recovery of Wild Animals The Centre The Centre for the Recovery of Wild Animals was set up in 1998 at the quarry of l'Alzina in Ciutadella. Its task consists in healing, whenever possible, the injured or sick wild animals that are found in Menorca, and is carried out by an enthousiastic group of volunteers. At the moment it is divided into four departments: a large 'flight cage', in which convalescent birds train to fly again; another place to stay the animals that cannot be freed, as they couldn't live in their medium because of their wounds; a zone for foreign tortoises collected from people that don't want to keep them anymore and, finally, a pool dedicated to grow breeds of a menorcan variety of toad called Calàpet Bufo viridis ), that might die when weather becomes too dry. There is a 'network' of vounteers in all the towns of the island that collaborate in collecting injured or endangered wild animals when someone find one and calls the GOB. They send them to the Center, in where the veterinaries take care of them. Two courses have been organized for the volunteers, in order to show how to treat an animal in these circumstances. This group of people is open to anyone that wants to participate in this task.

Return to Bird Page Care of Orphaned Wild Animals Nancy A. Fisher, BS, LAT Clinical Coordinator Animal Technology Program Michigan State University East Lansing. Michiga Definition and Sources of Orphans An orphan is defined as any animal that has become motherless while still unable to care for itself. It may also mean a very young, though independent. animal suddenly unable to fend for itself due to sickness, injury or extreme environmental conditions. Mothers may be killed by cars. predators or disease. Storms may shake babies from poorly constructed tree nests as well as force them from shallow ground nests. Unfortunately, many adopted animals are not true orphans. People often have difficulty believing that tiny rabbits and squirrels, though alert, eyes open and walking well rather than crawling, can actually care for themselves. In the cases of infants, the mother could be out foraging for food or waiting nearby for humans to leave the area. If there is concern that the babies may be motherless, the nest should be observed from a considerable distance for the return of the mother and to fend off predators. This could mean several hours of careful, quiet observation. Any infant found outside the nest should be returned to it immediately if it appears healthy and uninjured. It is only a myth that the mother will not accept the baby after it has been touched by humans.' The baby should be approached and handled quietly so that it will remain calm and not fall from the nest again in an attempt to flee.

57. Navajo Taboos For Nature And Wild Animals with a dead animal, especially the ones associated with water. livestock killed bycoyotes or other will animals because you will go crazy and act wild. http://navajocentral.org/navajotaboos/taboos_nature.html

Traditional Navajo Taboos By Ernest Bulows Navajo Taboos for Nature, Domestic and Wild Animals Coyote The Trickster Of all the figures in Navajo life and mythology, Coyote (Maii') is the most contradictory and delightful animal. Coyote is considered a god, a trickster, and an evil spirit. He can not be killed because he is powerful and contradictory. The Coyote is important in traditional Navajo life, but he is the object with almost little taboos. Coyote always seems to be hiding or lurking just out of view. He is a shadowy figure that can be funny or fearsome. Navajos have an omen that can also be considered as a taboo. They say that if Coyote crosses your path, turn back and do not continue your journey. If you keep traveling, something terrible will happen to you. You will be in an accident, hurt, or killed. Natural Powers and Nature Don't point at a rainbow with your finger. The rainbow will cut it off or break it. In the Navajo tradition it is improper to point at anything or anyone with the extended fore finger, because of the threatening connotation of the action. Navajos point with the lips. They put their lips in a type of kissing gesture. The symbolic nature of the rainbow as a manifestation of life giving rain is universal. Rainbows appear in Navajo sandpaintings. Rainbows, and anything related to water, have a strong religious significance to the Navajos. Wind Don't throw rocks at a whirlwind. It will throw them back and chase you.

Leave Wild Animals in the Wild What’s Wild? A wild animal is an animal that is, well, wild. This means that it isn't tame and it lives on its own, without any help from people. A wild animal finds its own food, shelter, water and all its other needs in a specific natural habitat. Habitat can be a field, woods, pond, wetland, prairie, park, or your yard. Wild animals make their home in both the city and the country. Wildlife includes small organisms that you can only see through a microscope to animals as large as whales! (Although, you won’t find any whales in Wisconsin.) Time for Baby Animals In the spring and early summer you might discover young animals in the wild. They are often cute, helpless, and seem friendly. It might look like the animals are abandoned or orphaned, but the parent is usually around. Adult wild animals leave their young in hiding for a short time while they search for food. Sometimes a wild animal is scared away from its young, but it will return to feed or care for the young animal once danger has passed. This can happen anywhere, even in your backyard. The baby rabbit or young robin you find in your yard has a mother somewhere close by. If you see or find a baby animal, it is best to leave the area quietly to let the adult animal return as soon as possible. If you know that the young animal is orphaned because the adult animal has died, leave it alone and tell an adult. Adults can contact professional wildlife staff to learn what to do. Remember: wildlife belongs in the wild!

quick advanced Scroll down for the article Sandshark Wild Things - Shark Attack! Sharks have a bad name. Some people think there are hundreds of sharks, (mainly great whites) waiting to tear into people on the shoreline. Sharks don't lurk in the water waiting for legs to appear so they can start eating. It's true that great whites are responsible for most attacks, but because of overhunting they're rare in some parts of the world. Sharks do bite the occasional person but that's no reason for them to have such a bad rep. Size of a Bus There are about 368 different species of sharks that live all over the world. They range in size from a person's hand, to bigger than a bus. Most shakrs are about the same size as people (five to seven feet or 1.5 to 2.1 meters.) The whale Whale Shark shark is the largest shark in the world. It's about the size of a bus and weighs more than two African elephants. The most common is the spiny dogfish shark. This Side Up Sharks can have up to 3,000 teeth and if they lose one, another one grows back. Even with all those teeth, sharks don't chew their food. They gulp it down in large chunks. One interesting thing about sharks is that they don't have any bones. Their skeleton is made of cartilage - a tough, stringy material not as hard as bones (your nose is made of cartilage.) They don't have a swim bladder either - the balloon like organ full of air that keeps most fish upright. Ever see the label "This Side Up" on boxes? Sharks should have the same label. If they get turned over (so they float belly up) they go limp and look like they're in a trance.
