The eyes are set far apart from each other and have a very large continuous bony brow ridge above them. Examination of the lower jaw reveals that Sahelanthropus had a total of thirty two teeth, which is common in all Old World monkeys, apes, and humans.

    They cohabitate with their mate, sharing the same burrow, as well as sharing the responsibilities of protecting their eggs and hunting. They do not leave their home burrow unless they are hunting or forced to move. Being extremely territorial and aggressive animals, they prefer to ambush their prey from their burrows as opposed to going out to hunt. By staying close to their burrows, especially in times when they are molting, peacock mantis shrimp can better avoid their predators which are made up of primarily large fish (Guenther). This species preys on crabs, mollusks, oysters, octopi, and other fish, using dismemberment and bashing as their weapon of choice. The mantis shrimp does not frequent aquariums because it can kill all of the fish in the tank with it, and even if left alone they can still break the aquarium glass…

    Living in Eastern North Carolina, I often find myself amazed at the beauty of nature. As a child, my family would travel to the local recreational center that served as a nature educational center. We would spend the day exploring the woods and appreciating nature. With my childhood being filled with the biodiversity of nature, I remain fascinated about the sounds of nature. For my Citizen Project, I decided to research animals in my community, in particular Barn Swallow birds. With this project, I will observe collective data that reported the doings and the migrational patterns of Barn Swallows. This project is quite interesting to me since I have seen these birds my entire life and one of them even nested on my front porch. With the advanced…

These penguins have a hard life, they have many predators and in this paper you will get to see who these predators are; they have sea predators and land predators as well. The African Penguin is faced with many threats and most of them are our, humans, fault.

    The diversity of plants and animals is critically important for the survival of the ecosystem in Madagascar. For example, the Aye-aye lemur feeds on insects that it finds by tapping on a tree with its long middle finger. Most other lemurs feed on either insect or fruit and plants as well. The Fossa is a nocturnal carnivore and feeds on everything from tiny reptiles to small animals, including chickens that come from nearby villages. The Tenrec feeds on insects just as the Aye-aye lemur. My last example is the Pill Millipede insect that eats decaying leaves and other dead plant materials.…
