Each entry includes 1-2 key facts about the animal's appearance, behavior, habitat, or other distinguishing characteristics. The document concludes by crediting the photographer and thanking The Living Desert for their support.
Reptiles are cold-blooded animals with over 6,800 species worldwide, most having bodies covered with dry, horny scales. They employ various defense mechanisms like hissing, striking, shedding tails, warning colors, camouflage, or tough skin. Major reptile groups include crocodilians, lizards, snakes, and turtles, such as the loggerhead turtle which can lay up to 500 eggs per year.
The document discusses characteristics of turtles in the order Chelonia, including their shells, limbs, mating behaviors, and methods for differentiating sex. It describes how the carapace and plastron form the turtle's shell and how the plastron varies between species. Sex can be determined by studying features like eye color, toenail length, cloacal position, and plastron shape depending on the specific turtle species. The document also categorizes turtle limbs as aquatic, semi-aquatic, or terrestrial based on structure and function.
Snakes evolved from lizards, and lizards today make up 95% of living reptiles. There are over 4,300 species of lizards that regulate their body temperature through behaviors like lifting their belly from hot surfaces. Lizards use their tails and legs for defense and speed, and most are carnivorous while some are herbivorous, with only two venomous species.
This document discusses various snake and lizard species found in Pakistan. It provides descriptions of 5 poisonous snake species found in Pakistan including the Russell's viper, common names and characteristics. It also describes observations of 12 different reptile species made during field studies, including snakes, geckos, agamas and skinks, providing details on habitat, behaviors and number of individuals observed. The document emphasizes the need for more extensive herpetological research across all of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SNAKES AND LIZARD ,BEST PRESENTATION PREPARED BY ALI HASSAN ,THIS WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL SPECIALLY FOR SCIENCE STUDENTS (ZOOLOGY ,BIOLOGY STUDENTS)
Reptiles are vertebrates that lay eggs and have scales covering their bodies. They are cold-blooded and breathe with lungs. While some reptiles have four legs, others have no legs or shells. Common reptiles include crocodiles, alligators, turtles, tortoises, snakes, lizards, chameleons and iguanas.
Zebras are a relative of horses found in Africa that are known for their distinctive black and white striping pattern. There are three species of zebra - Plains Zebra, Mountain Zebra, and Grevy's Zebra. The document discusses the extinct Quagga subspecies and answers the question of whether zebras are black with white stripes or white with black stripes through recent genetic research. While zebras live wild in Africa, some people have kept them as pets or riding animals throughout history.
This document provides facts about various animals and birds. It discusses extinct dinosaurs like the tyrannosaurus that had 60 sharp teeth. It also describes the dimetrodon, a mammal-like reptile that had a sail on its back to cool its body. Additional facts provided include dolphins sleeping with one eye open, snails having up to 14,175 teeth, butterflies having 12,000 eyes, and cassowaries being able to kill with their claws. Polar bears' speed on ice, owls' ability to rotate their heads 270 degrees, and kiwis hunting by smell are also mentioned. The document closes with details on elephant tusks, blue whales' eating and fasting abilities, and swans
The document describes several different wild animals that live in the jungle including elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, and rhinos noting characteristics like their size, color, and features. It also mentions other animals that live in other environments like woods for brown bears and trees for squirrels. The document concludes by briefly describing three common pets: dogs, fish, and hamsters.
African elephants are the largest land mammals with large ears to keep cool. Their trunks are used for smelling, breathing, drinking, and grabbing food. American alligators were saved from extinction through protections and now number over one million. Anacondas are the largest snakes pound for pound due to their enormous girth. Ants are very common insects that are especially prevalent in tropical forests. Black bears are opportunistic eaters found in many habitats across North America. Blue whales are the largest animals ever and rule the oceans by gulping enormous amounts of water and feeding alone or in pairs.
The document summarizes key information about the order Carnivora. It discusses that carnivorans include over 280 species of placental mammals that are found worldwide except possibly Australia. They are generally characterized by having strong claws and prominent canine teeth adapted for catching and eating prey. While most carnivorans are meat-eating, some like bears are omnivorous and giant pandas are primarily herbivorous. The order contains two suborders - Fissipedia comprising terrestrial carnivores and Pinnipedia comprising marine carnivores like seals. Carnivorans are economically important both positively as a source of fur, meat and for controlling pests, and negatively through threatening livestock and occasionally humans.
The document discusses several African animal species. It describes the cheetah as the world's fastest land mammal, able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds. It notes that African elephants are the largest land animals and are slightly larger than Asian elephants. It explains that African lions live in prides that can include up to 3 males, a dozen females and cubs. The document also provides brief descriptions of African wild dogs, zebras, giraffes, Thomson's gazelles, wildebeest, and warthogs.
THIS IS INVESTIGATORY PROJECT ON LION ITS CLASSIFICATION,HABITAT AND MANY MISC. THINGS WHICH WOULD BE REQUIRED IN A PROJECT ALONG WITH PICTURE GALLERY AT LAST.
There are three subspecies of Asian elephants: the Sri Lankan, Sumatran, and Indian. Their key adaptations include a trunk with one finger-like projection used to manipulate objects, large ears that act as radiators to regulate temperature, and grinding molars that are replaced throughout life. Asian elephants are endangered due to poaching and habitat loss, with only about 26,000 left in the wild.
The document outlines a presentation about field trips to the Museum of Natural Science focusing on herpetology. It discusses the museum's collections in herpetology, including over 81,000 specimens and 27 new species. It also details the different types of amphibians and reptiles found in Louisiana, such as frogs, salamanders, snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodilians. Finally, it proposes hands-on classroom activities to teach students about scales, camouflage, and life cycles of herpetology specimens.
The document discusses the class Amphibia, including that their name comes from the Greek words meaning "double life" referring to their aquatic larval stage and terrestrial adult stage. It describes the three living orders - Anura (frogs and toads), Caudata (salamanders), and Apoda (caecilians) - and provides details on their characteristics, species numbers, sizes, and geographic distributions. Amphibians live a double life with an aquatic larval stage and terrestrial adult stage, have permeable skin, and must return to water to reproduce.

This document provides information about poisonous and non-poisonous snakes found in India. It discusses that there are about 3000 snake species worldwide, of which around 300 are poisonous. It then focuses on the main poisonous snakes in South India, including vipers, cobras, kraits, coral snakes, and sea snakes. The document describes methods for identifying poisonous snakes based on characteristics like the nature of the snake bite, tail, ventrals, head shields, sub-caudal scales, and vertebrals. Specific poisonous snakes covered in more detail include the Indian cobra, king cobra, krait, Russell's viper, and sea snakes. The document also briefly describes some common non-
The document summarizes the evolution and taxonomy of modern rhinoceros species. It describes the first rhinos appearing in Eurasia in the late Eocene, with pig-sized Menoceras having two side-by-side horns. Modern rhinos are thought to have dispersed from Europe and Asia during the Miocene. The two living African rhino species can be traced to the late Miocene 6 million year old Ceratotherium neumayri. There are five living rhino species described in detail, along with their distinguishing characteristics and population statuses. Rhino horns only consist of keratin and have been historically used for traditional medicines and dagger handles, though beliefs in their medical properties are unfounded.

Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy that harnesses the power of tides. It has several advantages, including being renewable as tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, being a green energy source that doesn't emit greenhouse gases, and having a predictable output. However, tidal energy also has disadvantages such as potentially impacting the environment, only being available when tides are surging for around 10 hours per day so requiring effective energy storage, and being an expensive new technology that is not yet cost-effective.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

3. Snake Types
• There are 2700 species and subspecies of Snakes
in the world. As a group, they lack legs, hearing,
and movable eyelids. Having evolved from lizards,
some snakes still possess skeletal remnants of
legs. Snakes have a large number of vertebrae
(180 to 435), most of which have ribs attached.
There are 4 families of snakes: Boidae (boas and
pythons), Colubridae (racers, garter snakes, rat
snakes and many others), Elapidae (cobras,
mambas, and their relatives), Viperidae
(rattlesnakes and other vipers).
