1) The timber rattlesnake lives in forested and swampy areas across much of the eastern US, preying mainly on small mammals. 2) Mating occurs in late summer to early fall, with young born the following summer after a 4-5 month gestation period. Litters average 4-20 snakes. 3) Timber rattlesnakes face threats from predators like coyotes and large birds, and have an average lifespan of 16-22 years in the wild, though they can live over 30 years in captivity. Parasites and lack of prey also impact mortality rates.

The document discusses the red-tailed hawk, including its habitat, diet, breeding behaviors, predators, and role in the food chain. Key factors that affect the birth and death rates of red-tailed hawks are also examined, such as mating habits, egg-laying, and threats from other predators. Population sampling techniques for red-tailed hawks, such as tagging, are also mentioned.
Blake the cane toad
The cane toad, or Bufo marinus, is a large, warty, poisonous toad native to South and Central America. It was introduced to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to control beetle populations, but became an invasive species with no natural predators. Cane toads eat many native species and excrete a poison lethal to predators, destroying the ecosystem. Their population has exploded to over 1 billion from the original 108 introduced. Manual extermination is now needed to help native species survive the invasive cane toad.
Pythons - WF
Pythons are among the largest snakes in the world, growing up to 20 feet long. They live in warm habitats around Asia, Africa and Australia such as rainforests, deserts and grasslands. Pythons constrict their prey like pigs, deer and sheep, squeezing it to death before swallowing it whole. Female pythons lay between 2-100 eggs which hatchlings emerge around 2 feet long, wrapping around the eggs to keep them warm as they develop.
Bats
The little brown bat is a common bat species found throughout North America. It has dark brown fur, a wingspan of 8.7-10.6 inches, and eats insects like moths and mosquitoes. Little brown bats form large nursery colonies in the spring where females give birth to a single baby each. While they are not currently endangered, little brown bats help control pest insects and hibernate during fall and winter months.

Poison Dart Frog- Science Project
Poison dart frogs are small, brightly colored frogs found in tropical rainforests in Central and South America. They have toxic skin that warns predators to stay away. The frogs lay eggs under leaves or in holes, and the male guards them until they hatch into tadpoles. The mother then carries the tadpoles on her back to bromeliads where she deposits each one, and the parents care for the tadpoles until they mature. Poison dart frogs eat small insects and get their energy from food and sunlight. They face threats from pollution, logging, and snakes that are immune to their poison.

This document summarizes the five kingdoms of life: plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and protists. It describes some key characteristics of each kingdom. Plants are divided into vascular and nonvascular types. Animals are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates, with examples of vertebrate groups like mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds. Bacteria are found in large numbers on human skin. Fungi can cause rust and mildew. Protists are single-celled organisms that live in aquatic environments like ponds and streams.
The Five Kingdoms
The five kingdoms were originally two kingdoms that were expanded upon by Robert Whittaker to include five kingdoms: plants, fungi, animals, protists, and bacteria. Animals are split into vertebrates and invertebrates and come in many sizes. Bacteria are microscopic organisms that come in different shapes and sizes and only three types can be seen with a microscope. Plants are split into two groups of those with flowers and those without, and those with flowers have specific parts. Protists are single-celled organisms like amoebas that live in water and mud. Fungi grow on plants and trees and cannot produce their own food.

Minks live near bodies of water like rivers and lakes, where they prey on small animals. They mate between January to April and give birth to litters of 4-6 kits after a 50 day gestation. Their natural predators include coyotes, cats and owls. Minks typically live 3 years in the wild and are at risk of disease from bacteria. Their population is regulated by territorial aggression and conflict between individuals.
Michael Weaver
The eastern fox squirrel lives in mature oak-hickory woodlands consisting of small, irregularly shaped tracts of trees connected by strips of woodland. Their main food is acorns, which they collect and bury to eat later when food is scarce. Burying nuts helps forests grow as forgotten nuts can sprout. Fox squirrels mate twice a year and females give birth to two offspring each time after a six to seven week gestation period. Squirrel populations rely on trees for food and shelter, so loss of trees can cause squirrel deaths. Squirrels are prey for hawks, owls, snakes and other predators.

1) The wild turkey lives in fields close to wooded areas for cover and food. It eats various plants and insects depending on the season.
2) Turkeys reproduce in early spring, with females laying 8-15 eggs and incubating them for a month until they hatch. The poults depend on the mother for survival until 6 months old.
3) Predators like raccoons and snakes prey on turkey eggs and poults. Hunting also affects turkey populations, but regulated bag limits help maintain numbers. Stream and soil quality impact the turkey's habitat.

The document summarizes information about the pileated woodpecker, including its habitat, diet, breeding behaviors, predators, role in food chains and webs, and how environmental factors can affect its population. The woodpecker lives in deciduous forests with older trees, builds nests in rotting trees, and eats insects and fruits. Its eggs hatch in 12-14 days, and both parents share incubation duties and care for the young. Predators include sharp-shinned hawks and parasites like lice. The woodpecker's population is dependent on the health of the forest ecosystem and aquatic environments where it finds food.

The wolf spider lives in a variety of habitats across North America, from forests to meadows. It digs burrows in soil and seals them with webs. It preys on insects like flies, mosquitoes, crickets, and other spiders. Male wolf spiders locate females by their scent, and mating occurs near the females' burrows at night. Females can store sperm from multiple males and later lay eggs that develop from the combined sperm. Wolf spider populations are large due to females producing hundreds of offspring.

1) The timber rattlesnake lives in forested and swampy areas across much of the eastern US, preying mainly on small mammals.
2) Mating occurs in late summer to early fall, with young born the following summer after a 4-5 month gestation period. Litters average 4-20 snakes.
3) Timber rattlesnakes face threats from predators like coyotes and large birds, and have an average lifespan of 16-22 years in the wild, though they can live over 30 years in captivity. Parasites and lack of prey also impact mortality rates.

The eastern cottontail rabbit lives in a variety of habitats including meadows, orchards, open fields, and wooded areas. It prefers areas with tall grass, bushes or trees where it can hide. The cottontail is an herbivore whose diet changes seasonally, eating grasses, vegetables or bark and twigs. It is prey to many animals and is mainly nocturnal. Factors affecting its birth rate include breeding season, litter size, and weaning age, while factors impacting death rate include predators, parasites, and overpopulation.

The red fox lives alone except when mating from January to March. It is an omnivore, consuming small mammals, plants, and berries, typically hunting at night. Litters of 1-10 pups are born and cared for by the mother for 7 months before dispersing. Water quality tests of a stream showed high dissolved oxygen, neutral pH, and low nutrients, indicating a healthy environment that could support red foxes through the food chain. However, poor water or soil quality could disrupt this chain and negatively impact the red fox population.

The document discusses various factors that affect elk populations, including their habitat, diet, reproduction rates, and mortality risks. Elk typically live in open woodlands and forested areas from sea level to 3,000 meters in elevation. They eat plants, roots, leaves, and fungi. Elk mate in late September to early October and usually have one offspring per year. Their populations are affected by hunting and diseases. Clean water sources and adequate plant growth are important for supporting healthy elk herds.
