    Kinkajou

    Despite the fact that kinkajous are classified in the order carnivora, (order that contains powerful jaws and teeth adapted for stabbing, tearing and eating flesh) they are primarily frugivores. Frugivores feed primarily on fruit. About ninety percent of the kinkajou’s diet consists of fruit. The other ten percent is made up of invertebrates, small mammals, and eggs. The kinkajou has a five-inch slender tongue to help it access fruit in smaller areas. This animal is also the only carnivore that also acts as an important pollinator. When collecting nectar they also collect pollen on their faces and transfer it to other flowers.…

    Sugar Gliders Essay

    This phenotype helps overcome the environmental pressures of predators, competition for food and extreme heat as they avoid most predators and competitors at night and are better camouflaged. The night activity allows them to endure cool temperatures, preserving water as opposed to the day’s heat. Furthermore, Petaurus breviceps are able to semi-hibernate or torpor for 16 hours daily. The behavioural adaptation helps the Sugar Glider deal with the environmental pressure of predators, disease, climate change and the scarcity of food as it conserves energy. This is an advantageous trait as it provides the Glider with more energy to collect food without being vulnerable to predators. Gliders may develop the diseases such as nutritional osteodystrophy due to poor nutrition, hence torpor aids its…
