Spectacular Seals!!!

-

 

  • Seal, what a slow creature! (and a fat one too😂)


  • Seals are semiaquatic marine mammals. They have four flippers, so are in a category of animals known as PINNIPEDIA which means 'fin-footed'.

  • Seals are believed to have evolved from land based, bear or otter-like ancestors.

  • A seal's whiskers help it to detect prey in dark murky waters.

  • Because they can spend months at sea, seals can sleep underwater.

  • Some seal species can hold their breath for nearly two hours underwater by slowing their heart beat and conserving oxygen.

  • About once a year a female seal, called a cow, gives birth to one pup on land.

THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!!

Horific Hyenas

  Hyena, what a gross creature! (except, when they are in packs😂)   Of our planet has four different species of  hyena : the spotted, brown and striped hyena and the aardwolf.  Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Hyaenidae Genera & species: Crocuta crocuta (spotted hyena) Hyaena brunnea (brown hyena) Hyaena hyaena (striped hyena) Proteles cristata (aardwolf)  Hyenas live in clans of up to 100 hyenas, with a female hyena acting as the matriarch. Unlike other species that live in groups, hyenas fight each other often. One of the most dangerous sounds you might hear in the bush is laughter – the hyena’s call sounds like a laugh and it signals excitement that it has found food. The pitch of their laugh can indicate their status in the pack. Hyenas are carnivores except the Aardwolves, which are insectivores. Hyenas have long been known as scavengers, but they are actually skilled hunters and clans will organize to take do...

Sociable Sharks!!!

  Shark, what a sharp animal! (you might have recognized this in the movie "DEEP BLUE SEA"😂)  Great sharks can be found throughout the world’s oceans, mostly in cool waters close to the coast. These super swimmers are the largest predatory fish (fish that eat other fish or animals) on our planet. On average, they grow to around 4.6m long, but some great sharks have been measured at 6m – that’s half the length of a bus! Any creature unlucky enough to find itself in the gob of a is in for a nasty shock! Because this marine beast’s mouth is equipped with a set of 300 sharp-triangular teeth arranged in up to seven rows. Yikes!   These cunning creatures like to take their prey by surprise. They usually position themselves underneath their unsuspecting victims before swimming up and…chomp! They often burst out of the water in a leap (called a breach ) before falling back in with their meal in their mouths. Great sharks are at the top of the food chain ...

Bold Bees!!!

  Bee, what a hard-working creature! (unfortunately, it doesn't have exams like JEE and NEET😂) The bee flies anyway, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible. " BEE COUNTER WILL HAVE YOU UP TO YOUR NECTAR IN HIVE DATA " HaD’s best corn-ball headline ever. As long as you’re not in Europe. Bees never agree to those clickthrough GDPR disclaimers . Not easy, they are all twins, or thousands, whatever, mostly identical. Each drone from a given queen is a haploid son of the queen, but has some mix of genes from each of the queen’s parents.  Bees have been kept for over 4500 years, going back to ancient times as cave paintings show. Honeybees are the only type of bee that dies after stinging. The honeybee is the official insect of the state of Maine. Bees can’t see the color red. They do however see the ultraviolet color spectrum which many flowers produce and humans are unable to see. THAT 'S IT FOR TODAY!! KEEP READING!! ************************************...
