Giant tortoises are endangered reptiles that were once found on 20 islands in the Indian Ocean. Now, only one species survives in the wild on Aldabra Atoll, and 11 subspecies remain in the Galapagos Islands. Giant tortoises can live over 100 years and once weighed up to 300 kg. They breed during the hot season but can mate year-round, and females migrate to nesting areas to lay 1-4 clutches of 2-25 eggs each season, which take 110-175 days to incubate. Overhunting drove many giant tortoise species to extinction by the 1800s.

Stork
Storks are large white birds that migrate long distances between Europe and Africa. They have long red beaks and legs. Storks nest in groups on trees, buildings, and rocky areas, building large nests of branches that are added to over the years. They eat small animals like frogs, mice, and insects. In late summer, storks migrate south in large flocks to winter in places like the Sahara desert, flying as far as 10,000 km, then return north to Europe in spring to breed.

Orcas live in coastal waters between 54 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and can be found all over the world. They live in family groups called pods and hunt cooperatively, with female orcas teaching younger generations how to hunt. Orcas eat a wide variety of prey including seals, squid, octopus, fish, and other marine animals.
Walrus
There are three subspecies of walrus: the Atlantic walrus which lives in the Atlantic Ocean with a population of around 20,000, the Pacific walrus found in the Pacific Ocean with about 200,000 individuals, and the Laptev walrus living in Siberia's Laptev Sea numbering 10,000. Walruses mainly eat mollusks from the seafloor but also consume worms, shrimp, crabs and occasionally seals or young walruses. They can weigh up to 1,996 kg and grow to 4.5 meters in length, living for around 40 years. While clumsy on ice, walruses are agile swimmers.
Ian and the walrus
Walruses live in the Arctic Ocean and use their whiskers, tusks, and earflaps to find food and stay warm in the cold waters. They migrate south to warmer waters when the ocean freezes over and use their tusks and ability to blend in with the water to fight off predators like polar bears and killer whales. Walruses eat various marine life like shrimp, worms, octopuses, and clams.

Grizzly bears once lived across western North America but now their range is limited to Alaska, Canada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Washington. They have a hump of muscle on their back and males are called silvertip. Grizzly bears live in forests, mountains and coastlines and eat a varied diet including berries, salmon, and animal carcasses. Females raise their cubs in winter dens until the cubs are able to walk and feed themselves between ages 2-3 years old.
Endangered Animals
The document discusses several endangered animal species, including dolphins, elephants, pandas, whales, and tigers. It provides details on their physical characteristics, lifespan, diet, breeding behaviors, and threats they face. Specifically, it notes that dolphins live in pods and use echolocation to hunt, elephants can weigh up to 15,000 pounds, pandas mainly eat bamboo and give birth to 1-2 cubs, whales can grow over 100 feet long and live 20-30 years, and tigers normally have 3-4 cubs at a time. The document concludes by calling for help to save these endangered animals.

Red-tail hawks eat small mammals, birds, snakes, and carrion. They live in habitats like forests, fields, wetlands, and deserts across North America from Canada to Mexico. Red-tail hawks lay 1 to 5 eggs between March and April and the chicks leave the nest when they are 4 to 6 weeks old, though the parents continue feeding them.
Arctic Foxes
Arctic foxes live in cold climates of northern regions like Canada, Alaska, northern Asia, and Europe. They have thick fur coats that change color between winter and summer to help camouflage them from prey and predators. Arctic foxes are solitary and omnivorous, eating small rodents, birds, eggs, fish, and carrion. They use their sharp teeth and claws to hunt and protect themselves. Litters typically contain 5-9 pups born in burrows. While not endangered, arctic foxes face threats from polar bears and humans hunting them for their valuable fur.

The Iberian lynx is the world's most endangered feline species and is at risk of becoming extinct within 2000 years. It is restricted to two areas in Andalusia and prefers heterogeneous environments of grasslands mixed with shrubs and trees. The Iberian lynx depends mainly on rabbits for food but will eat other small animals if rabbits are scarce. It is nocturnal but may be active during the day in winter and defends its territory aggressively when prey is limited. Adult lynx weigh 10-14kg and live up to 13 years in the wild.
Wolves
Wolves are wild dogs that live and hunt in packs, bonding closely with other members. They can thrive in forests, tundra, grasslands and deserts, and their populations are found in Alaska, northern U.S., and Canada as well as Europe and Asia. Wolves are carnivores that prey on large mammals like deer and moose but also scavenge on dead animals. They communicate through distinctive howls, barks and growls. While once endangered, wolf populations are currently stable.
Kit Fox
The kit fox is a small mammal that lives in desert and forest areas of western North America. It has yellowish or gray fur that helps it blend into its surroundings. It digs underground dens with multiple entrances and catches small mammals, birds, and insects at night using its keen senses of smell and hearing. Kit foxes typically have 4-5 young each year and can live up to 8 years. Their scientific name is Vulpes Macrotis and they are known for their large ears, which allow them to hear sounds from far away.

Jackals are small omnivorous mammals in the genus Canis, which also includes wolves and dogs. There are three main species: the black-backed jackal and side-striped jackal of Africa, and the golden jackal of Eurasia. Jackals are opportunistic predators and scavengers, hunting small mammals, birds, and reptiles. They live in monogamous pairs that defend territories from other pairs. Researchers in Romania estimate around 7,000 jackals there, but the number is approximate. Hunters and volunteers want to observe the jackals to determine if they are a biological threat, while sheepherders are aware of danger from jackals attacking sheep.
Muskrats
Muskrats are brown furred rodents that live in wetlands in North America, they have webbed back feet for swimming and sharp claws on their front feet. Muskrats build dens or lodges to live in and eat plants like cattails and bulrushes, as well as clams, crayfish, and snails. They mate during warm months and females give birth to litters of 5-6 kits after a 30 day gestation.
Cleia Bernard, 0, Arctic Wolf
The arctic wolf lives in family packs of 7-10 members in the arctic. They have a complex social hierarchy with an alpha male and female leading the pack. All members help take care of and feed the 4-5 pups born each year. Arctic wolves hunt in packs, preying mainly on arctic hares, musk ox, caribou, and lemmings. Despite historical threats from humans, the arctic wolf population has remained stable due to their remote habitat.
Canis Lupus
Arctic wolves live in the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. They have thick fur coats and small ears and noses to help retain heat. Arctic wolves hunt in small packs, preying mostly on musk oxen, caribou, and arctic hares. Wolf packs behave differently depending on whether pups are present - when pups are around, the adults spend more time providing food and less time hunting with older wolves.

The document contains facts about several different animals including flying squirrels, snow leopards, lions, penguins, polar bears, reindeer, toucans, and zebras. It provides details about each animal's physical characteristics, habitat, diet, predators, and other distinguishing features. For example, it notes that flying squirrels can glide up to 80 yards through the air, snow leopards have large paws that act as snowshoes, lions live in grasslands and savannas, and emperor penguins are the largest type of penguin.
Wild Horses
Wild horses are large, four-legged mammals that usually live on flat plains in Africa and Asia. They can run very fast to escape predators like lions. Their eyes allow them to see in front and behind at the same time, and their bones are light but strong. Their hooves, made of keratin, protect the foot bone. Domestic horses live all over the world.
Science equidae(animal)
Equidae includes zebras, horses, and asses. They mainly live in grasslands where there is ample grazing land. While there is little competition for food sources, males compete for mating opportunities. All living equids belong to the genus Equus. They are classified in the order Perissodactyla along with tapirs and rhinoceroses. Specific equid species have adapted to their environments through adaptive radiation. Zebras have stripes that provide camouflage while horses and asses have various physical adaptations for survival in grasslands and deserts respectively.

The Javan tiger was a subspecies of tiger that was endemic to the Indonesian island of Java. In the early 19th century, Javan tigers were common pests, but as the human population increased and their habitat was destroyed for agriculture, they were ruthlessly hunted. The last confirmed sighting of a Javan tiger was in 1972, though tracks suggested a few may have survived until 1979. Habitat loss and agricultural expansion were the primary causes of their extinction.

Predictability of popularity on online social media: Gaps between prediction ...
Can we predict the future popularity of a song, movie or tweet? Recent work suggests that although it may be hard to predict an item’s popularity when it is first introduced, peeking into its early adopters and properties of their social network makes the problem easier. We test the robustness of such claims by using data from social networks spanning music, books, photos, and URLs. We find a stronger result: not only do predictive models with peeking achieve high accuracy on all datasets, they also generalize well, so much so that models trained on any one dataset perform with comparable accuracy on items from other datasets. Though practically useful, our models (and those in other work) are intellectually unsatisfying because common formulations of the problem, which involve peeking at the first small-k adopters and predicting whether items end up in the top half of popular items, are both too sensitive to the speed of early adoption and too easy. Most of the predictive power comes from looking at how quickly items reach their first few adopters, while for other features of early adopters and their networks, even the direction of correlation with popularity is not consistent across domains. Problem formulations that examine items that reach k adopters in about the same amount of time reduce the importance of temporal features,
but also overall accuracy, highlighting that we understand little about why items become popular while providing a context in which we might build that understanding.

Cliff Swallows Integrated Pest Management
Cliff swallows often nest in large colonies on buildings and structures, which can cause problems with droppings and nest debris. While they feed on insects and help control pest populations, their nests sometimes need to be managed. Legal permits are required to remove active nests containing eggs or young. Passive exclusion methods like installing netting before nesting season begins can prevent new nests from being built without harming the birds. Active nest removal requires repeated efforts since the birds will rebuild.

Why did eagle populations decline in the 1960\"s? Why do eagles congregate at the Shepaug
River and Hudson Rivers in winter? When do they reproduce? What are their nests like? How
many young do they have and when do they hatch out? What types of behavior do adult eagles
engage in in winter? What percent of the time do they spend searching for food? What habitat
do they prefer for nesting sites? Why?
Solution
Answer:
1. Why did eagle populations decline in 1960s: Different reasons contributed to a steep decline in
Eagle population in 1960s:
- More than 100,000 bald eagles were killed in Alaska from 1917 to 1953 as Alaskan Salmon
fisherman feared that Eagles were a threat to the Salmon population
- In the 1950’s the insecticide DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was introduced and used
widely to combat a broad spectrum of insect pests. DDT was indiscriminately used and it caused
serious environmental effects DDT interferes with the calcium processing of birds and results in
deformed eggshells. The chemical by products of DDT persisted in the aquatic ecosystem long
after its application. Since bald eagles are at the top of the aquatic food chain and feed primarily
on fish, they received concentrated doses of the chemical. When the female eagle laid a thin,
deformed eggshell, she crushed it under her own weight when incubating the egg. Since bald
eagles pairs breed only once per year, with many bald eagle pairs not reproducing successfully,
the bald eagle population declined steeply throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s.
2.Why do eagles congregrate at the Shepaug River and Hudson river in the winters.
The same elements that support breeding pairs - clean air and water, ample food supply, large
undisturbed stands of trees - also attract bald eagles looking for a winter home.
The Hudson River region still provides tracts of relatively undisturbed land for roosting,
perching and nesting.These habitats are especially attractive during winter, when human activity
is limited.
Each year, bald eagles migrate from their northern nesting areas to New York\'s rivers and
reservoirs in search of open water, food and roosting sites. Even during the coldest months, open
water can be found near power plants that discharge water during energy production, or where
the natural flows of tributaries enter the river. In recent winters, more than 100 wintering eagles
have been counted along the lower Hudson.In recent years, the stretch of the Hudson from
Kingston to Croton has been increasingly popular with bald eagles, probably because sections of
the river are kept open by discharges from power plants, and railroad tracks provide an ample
supply of dead animals (carrion) for scavenging eagles.
3. When do they reproduce? What are their nests like? How many young do they have and when
do they hatch out?
An eagle is sexually mature and ready to breed at about 4 to 5 years of age. For bald eagles, the
complete white head and tail are signs of sexual maturity. Golden eagles.
Sea turtles introduction
Sea turtles around the world have been studied to help collect information about their growth rates, reproductive cycles and migration routes
Hawksbill sea turtle
The Hawksbill Sea Turtle is clinically endangered. It has an distinctive pointed beak-shaped head and overlapping scales on its carapace. Though once abundant, females now typically nest alone. Their main threats are loss of coral reef habitat and exploitation by humans for food and merchandise, which has led to declining nesting beach availability. Urgent conservation efforts are needed to protect this critically endangered species.
Bird migration
Bird migration is the seasonal journey that many bird species undertake on a regular basis. These journeys are driven by changes in food availability, habitat, or weather. Approximately 1800 of the world's 10,000 bird species are long-distance migrants. Eagle species occur mostly in Eurasia and Africa, with only a few found in North and South America and Australia. Eagles have larger size and more powerful builds than other birds of prey, with strong talons and keen eyesight that allows them to spot prey from long distances. They build large nests in tall trees or on cliffs and lay two eggs, though the older chick typically kills the younger.
Some interesting wildlife records
The document discusses various interesting facts about the fastest, largest, rarest, and other record-holding animals across different species. Some key facts include:
- The fastest animal on land is the cheetah, which can run up to 109 km/hr but only for short distances before exhaustion. The fastest over long distances is the pronghorn antelope.
- The fastest animal in air is the peregrine falcon, which can dive at speeds up to 200 km/hr. The fastest in water is the sailfish, which can reach 100 km/hr despite the greater resistance of water.
- The largest animal is the blue whale, which can grow to over 25 meters and weigh up to
What is a Turtle
Turtles are ancient reptiles that first appeared over 200 million years ago. There are two main categories of turtles - hidden-necked species that pull their heads directly back into their shells, and side-necked species that pull their heads to the side. Four species of sea turtles are commonly found in Malaysia - green turtles, hawksbill turtles, leatherback turtles, and olive ridley turtles. Sea turtles face many threats including consumption, nest destruction, marine debris ingestion, and commercial fishing.
Alligator ebook
The document summarizes information about American alligators found in Lakeland, Florida, including their taxonomy, diet, life cycles, mating and babies. It provides interesting facts about alligators being millions of years old and sometimes weighing over 1,000 pounds. The document also discusses safety around alligators and what to do in an emergency, as well as Native American interactions with alligators and local areas to explore them.
Long finned eel
The Long Finned Eel is New Zealand's native freshwater eel species, growing up to 2 meters long and 50 kilos, but it is endangered due to overfishing. When migrating to spawn, the eels swim to tropical Pacific islands and the females release up to 20 million eggs. While they have a mixed diet depending on life stage, preying on insects and small fish, the eel population has declined since 1960s fishing and will become extinct if not protected, as the eels do not reproduce until around 100 years old.

The polar bear
The Polar Bear is the largest land carnivore, typically standing 1.5 meters tall and weighing up to 950 kilos. They live in coastal areas of the Arctic around Russia, Alaska, Greenland, and Norway, preferring the polar zone. Polar Bears hunt seals, fish, whales, and sometimes even other Polar Bears or their young. However, they are currently endangered due to global warming melting the ice over waters where they hunt, forcing them to swim long distances without success or drown. To help the Polar Bear, humans must take steps to prevent further global warming such as recycling, reducing energy and waste, and using less polluting forms of transportation.
Camel presentation
Camels are well-adapted to travel and carry loads across hot deserts. They can go long periods without food or water due to their humps, which store fat, and ability to tolerate high body temperatures. There are two main types - the Arabian camel with one hump and the Bactrian camel with two humps. Camels have played an important role in desert cultures by providing transportation, food, clothing, shelter and more.

Emperor penguins by emily
Emperor penguins are the largest penguin species, standing 115cm tall and weighing between 23-40kg depending on their breeding cycle. They breed in large colonies on the frozen ice of Antarctica during the winter, with the males incubating the single egg on their feet while the females gather food. After the eggs hatch, the parents brood their young for 50 days before fledging out to sea. Emperor penguins are excellent divers, reaching depths of over 500m to hunt for fish, krill, and squid to survive in the harsh Antarctic environment.

Parenting experiences
Adding a second child is intimidating and presents new challenges for mothers. Going from caring for one child to two is a huge transition, especially balancing the needs and schedules of children with different ages. The first few weeks with a newborn and older child can be chaotic as the mother tries to meet everyone's physical and emotional needs. Over time, mothers learn to accept that they cannot do everything and must trust their instincts. While feelings of failure and guilt are common, seeing the children interact and love each other makes raising two kids worth it, despite the difficulties.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Giant Tortoise
- 1. GIANTTORTOISEA ENDANGERED SPECIES Giant Tortoise are characteristic reptiles that are foundon two groups of tropical islandOnly 250 years ago there were at least 20 speciesandsubspecies in islands of the Indian OceanThese tortoisescanweighas much as 300 kg (660 lb) and can grow tobe 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) long. Giant tortoises originally made their way toislands from the mainland. Today, only one of the species of the Indian Oceansurvives inthe wild, the Aldabragiant tortoise (twomore are claimedto exist incaptive or re-releasedpopulations, but some genetic studies have cast doubt on the validity of these as separate species) and11 subspecies in the Galápagos. Giant tortoises are among the world's longest-living animals, withan average lifespanof 100 years or morean Aldabragiant tortoise named Adwaitadiedat Alipore Zoological Gardens inKolkata. He was brought to the zoo in the 1870s fromthe estate of LordClive and is thought to have been around 255 years oldwhen he died Tortoises breedprimarily during the hot seasonfromJanuary to May; however, tortoises canbe seenmating any month of the year. During the cool season (June toNovember), female tortoises migrateto nesting zones ,whichare generally locatedinlowlands of the islands, tolay their eggs. A female can lay from 1-4 nests over anesting seasonfromJune to December. She digs the hole withher hindfeet, thenlets the eggs dropdown intothe nest, and finally covers it again with her hind feet. The number of eggs ranges from2-7 for saddle- backed tortoisestosometimes more than20-25 eggs for domedtortoises. The eggs incubate from 110 to175 days (incubationperiods dependon the month the nest was laid, witheggs laid early inthe cool seasonrequiring longer incubationperiods thaneggs laid at the endof the cool seasonwhen the majority of their incubationwill occur at the start of the hot season). They once sharedthese islands withanumber of other giant tortoise species, but many of these were huntedto extinction inthe 1700s and1800s. Althoughthey are usually found in areas of dense low-lying vegetationthey are alsoknown to wander into more sparse and rocky regions whenfood is in short supply.
