Alpine Animals   By Aaron


By Aaron Jones
Marmots are members of
 a genus Marmota, in the
      rodent family
Sciuridae (Squirrels).
Marmots are generally
large ground Squirrels.
    Those most often
referred to as Marmots
    tend to live in the
    mountainous area
   such as the Sierra
Nevada's in the United
States or the European
          Alps.
Males commonly grow to a height of
   90 to 101 centimeters and 35 to 40
   inches. At the winter with a body
 length of 149 to 171 centimeters and
weigh from 67 to 117 kilograms (150 to
                 260)Ib.
A buck stands about 1 m (
3.3 ft) at the shoulder to the
    waist and can weigh
considerably more than the
 female (around 30% more
         in some case.
The first member of a genus
 to be described was the red-
 billed chough named Upupa
 Pyrrhocorax by Linnaeus
in his systema naturae in
            1758.
The kea was described by
Ornithologist John Gould in 1858.
It’s specific epithet, the latin term
  notabilis means “noteworthy”.
These are small, fairy drab
   species superficially
 similar, but unrelated to
    sparrows they are
  generally regarded as
   being related to the
 thrushes or the warbles.
     They are 14 to 18
centimeters in length, and
weigh between 25 and 35
           grams.
The Swifts are a family,
Apodidae ,highly aerial birds.
 They are superficially similar
 to shallows, but are actually
not closely related to passerine
   species at all swifts are in
 separate order Apodiformes,
    which they share with
        hummingbirds.
Dunnock

      This is a Robin-Sized bird, 13.5-
       14 cm in length, fairly drab in
        appearance and somewhat
    resembling a small house sparrow
        with it’s streaked back and
     general shape. It is also brownish
        underneath, and has a fine
    pointed bill. Adults have a grey a
                 grey head.
Picka’s are small
   mammals, with short
limbs and rounded ears.
    They are about 6-9
  inches. In body length
 and weigh between 120
      and 350 grams,
  depending on species.
The accipitrids
   have been
    variously
  divided into
   some 5-10
  subfamilies.
  Most share a
  very similar
morphology, but
 many of these
groups contain
 taxa which are
 more aberrant.
