The Wolf. It is an amazing creature. The wolf lives in the northern hemisphere, ranging from Utah to Canada, and all over Europe and in some parts of Asia. These dogs are large, around the size of a Belgian Malamute. They are really tough, standing near freezing temperature. Their prey is always on the move because they eat Caribou and deer. Even though they live up north, there are Mexican Grey Wolves which are near Mexico, but more in Arizona.
This is really cool: When I was up north in Prescott, there on Gurley Street is alleys and shop, well down one alley with shops in it, there was a store that had a dog,(We brought our little dog) that was watching ours. I thought it looked like a Wolf so I asked. It was a Wolf. When you see them they are really cool.
Lions are the second largest cats in the world.They live in Africa and their prides are around 15-40 strong. The males are the protecter of the territories. They are the ones that protect the lionesses and the cubs. The females are the main hunters along with any cubs that are old enough to hunt. They are capable of taking down an elephant, and have no trouble with anything smaller. There territories are essential because they need land rich in food and water to support such large groups. When they hunt one or more lions scare the prey towards the waiting lions that are hiding nearby. Even though the females are the hunters, the males usually gets the largest share in the meal.
The Rhinoceros is a really big animal. They can weigh around 4,000 lbs. There are five different kinds of rhinoceros's, and the one's that most people know about are the Black Rhinoceros, and the White Rhinoceros.The funny thing is , they are both grey.
These large animals are herbivores eating a variety if plants.Their home range is Africa and some parts of Asia. The rhino is a specialized animal, that has bad sight, but really good sense of smell. Because they are aggressive, if you want to see one in the wild, you have to be down wind, as they can smell you if you are anywhere else.(This is a Black Rhinoceros pictured above.)
When you first look at an ostrich they look really funny.A large bird with little wings and big legs. The legs on the ostrich are so strong they can kick a lions head clean off.This is the last bird you want to tangle with.
Having such great legs, the ostrich can run at speeds of forty-five miles per hour for a good distance. Even though this big bird looks as though it will eat you in one bite, the ostrich is actually and herbivore.They are like true birds that eat plants and seeds along with the occasional bug. The babies just look so darn cute though,but that is the last thing you want to touch.That is like insulting a person allergic to strawberries, a strawberry shortcake. They take the role of parenting very seriously.
The Western Diamondback is one of the largest rattlesnakes in the United States. It is also one of the most venomous rattlesnakes. When people think of snakes they run in the other direction and want to kill it. This rattlesnake is more shy and isn't as aggressive as the Mohave Rattlesnake. Still, when you see one it comes as a great surprise.
Thanks for visiting.Come back anytime.
