Rat teeth are harder than iron and platinum with a rating of 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Rats are also very resilient, able to withstand greater falls, longer swims, and living on less food and water than humans. Rats also breed prolifically and without discrimination, requiring separation of parents and siblings to prevent inbreeding. Rats come in various species with the brown rat being most common, and can occasionally grow quite large, like the 15 pound Gambian pouched rat. Rats also carry and transmit numerous diseases dangerous to humans due to their proximity.

Final coyotes ppt
The document discusses the declining deer population on a hunting club's land due to coyotes preying on fawns. This has resulted in fewer hunters renewing their membership each year, providing less funds for the club. Three possible solutions are presented: shooting coyotes, trapping coyotes, or letting nature take its course. The best solution is determined to be letting nature take its course, as a disease previously reduced the coyote population naturally with minimal effort.
Animal Distinctions
This document provides 10 distinctions between similar animals, including:
1) Alligators have wide U-shaped snouts while crocodiles have more pointed V-shaped snouts.
2) Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment while millipedes have two pairs.
3) Horns are permanent projections covered in keratin while antlers are shed annually and made of bone.
4) Stray animals were once domesticated but now live wild, while feral animals were born wild from domesticated ancestors.
Little brown bats by Thea
Little brown bats are small, brown bats with a wingspan of 8-10 inches. They eat insects like moths, mosquitoes, and midges, catching them in flight or with their wings and eating larger prey from their tail. Little brown bats live throughout parts of North America and roost near water to hunt their aquatic insect prey. However, they face threats from habitat loss and human disturbance.
Birds Intern Presentation
This document summarizes Shawn Waxali's 2016 internship at the Houston Zoo working with the Birds Department. Some of the experiences included helping with the kitchen, bird incubation, and various habitats. Responsibilities involved habitat construction, animal nutrition, veterinary care, and behavioral analysis. The document also provides information about Cooper's Hawks, including their physical characteristics, hunting and breeding behaviors, and role in the ecosystem. It discusses interactions between Cooper's Hawks and the zoo's collection birds and potential solutions to prevent predation issues.
Parrotfish
Parrotfish have the ability to change color, gender, and shape. When the dominant male dies, the dominant female will change into a male to take over his role in leading the school. Parrotfish grind coral with their teeth and the sand they produce from chewing coral can form beaches. They are normally found living on coral reefs but some varieties can be seen at the Shedd Aquarium in their Caribbean reef and Waters of the World exhibits.
Cat facts
Cats have been domesticated for at least 9,500 years and are one of the most popular pets worldwide. They are well-adapted as hunters with strong flexible bodies and sharp claws and teeth. As nocturnal predators, cats use their acute hearing and vision to hunt at night and in low light. Despite being solitary hunters, cats communicate through meowing, purring, hissing and growling.
Animals
The document describes several different types of pets and animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, cows, lambs, pigs, goats, foxes, eagles, deer, turtles, frogs, flies, stink bugs, ladybugs, butterflies, and carpenter bees. It provides details about their physical characteristics, behaviors, habitats, and in some cases what they eat. The document aims to educate the reader about the diversity of animals in the world.

Course Commensal Rodents.pptx
Rodents like rats and mice are considered commensal pests that can cause structural damage and spread diseases. The most common types are house mice, roof rats, and Norway rats, which differ in size, appearance, habitat, and litter sizes. They can squeeze into small spaces and prefer foods like dog/cat food that they must chew. Their droppings provide clues to identification. Rodents may carry diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and flea-borne typhus and plague. Effective control requires sanitation, exclusion, and sometimes pesticides to eliminate infestations and reduce health risks.
Course Commensal Rodents.pptx
Rodents like rats and mice can carry diseases that infect humans. Diseases spread by rodent fleas and urine include typhus, plague, leptospirosis, and rat bite fever. Symptoms range from fever and muscle aches to meningitis and liver failure. Rodent control is important to prevent disease transmission through sanitation and removal of infected animals and their droppings. Secondary pests like fleas and mites sometimes remain after rodents leave and bite people, so exclusion and miticide treatment are also recommended.
Pests2
The document discusses various pests that threaten New Zealand's native wildlife. It describes rats, possums, and the damage done by pests. Rats and possums prey on native birds like kiwis and their populations have boomed without natural predators. Possums in particular number over 70 million and destroy native plants. Controlling pests is important to protect New Zealand's unique ecosystems and species.
Course Commensal Rodents.pdf
Commensal rodents like rats and mice can carry diseases and pose health risks to humans. They can transmit diseases indirectly through fleas and mites or directly through contact with rodent excreta and saliva. Diseases spread this way include hantavirus, which affects the lungs; leptospirosis, which can cause meningitis, liver failure, and kidney damage; and typhus, carried by fleas. To control rodents and limit disease transmission, it is important to eliminate food and shelter, use sanitation and exclusion, and consult a pest management professional when needed.
Cats
Cats have flexible spines composed of numerous vertebrae that allow them to squeeze through tight spaces. They have powerful jaws adapted for killing prey and tearing meat. Cats are carnivorous and hunt small animals, but can survive on fed food once daily. They communicate threats through arched backs and raised fur. Cats enjoy perching in high places for surveillance and security. Common domestic cat breeds include tabbies, tortoiseshells, and calicos in various color patterns. Feral cats live independently but can be socialized; their populations are managed by volunteers. Play is important for cats' development and practice of hunting skills.
Commensel Rodents.pptx.pdf
This document discusses commensal rodents and their health concerns. It describes the three main commensal rodent species - rats, mice, and roof rats. These species can carry diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and rat bite fever. Hantavirus causes respiratory illness and is spread through rodent urine and droppings. Leptospirosis causes meningitis and is also spread through urine. Rat bite fever results from bites but also contaminated food/water. The document emphasizes controlling rodent infestations and properly sanitizing areas to reduce risk of disease transmission.
Course Rodent Biology.pptx
Rodents can carry diseases that pose health risks to humans. Rats and mice often bring fleas, mites and other parasites into structures. These insects can spread illnesses like typhus, plague and cause allergic reactions in people. To control rodents and prevent disease, it is important to eliminate food and shelter, use sanitation and integrated pest management including traps, baits and exclusion. Removing rodents and cleaning infected areas are necessary to protect public health.
Rattlesnakes by Amya
Rattlesnakes are tan, black, and brown scaled reptiles that can grow up to 8 feet long. They live in habitats like swamps, rivers, streams, and rocky ledges, and hibernate in dirt holes in the winter. Rattlesnakes eat small animals like mice, eggs, frogs, birds, lizards, and insects. Female rattlesnakes give birth to live young that are born small and skinny without rattlers yet.
Dangerous Australian Animals 11б
The document discusses several dangerous animals found in Australia, including venomous snakes like the brown snake and tiger snake; sharks like the great white shark; saltwater crocodiles, the largest reptile in the world; box jellyfish and Irukandji jellyfish which have deadly venom; and the red back spider, Australia's most dangerous spider. Many of these creatures pose risks to humans and some bites or stings have proven fatal if not treated. However, many are also an important part of the Australian ecosystem and some, like crocodiles, are now protected species.

For each animal, 1-3 key facts are provided such as physical descriptions, habitats, behaviors like fishing or nesting, and in some cases differences between males and females.
Courtney's jackrabbit presentation 04 17-11
Jackrabbits are not rabbits but hares that are born with more fur, are bigger with larger ears and longer hind legs compared to rabbits. Jackrabbits can be identified by their very big tipped ears, big eyes, varied fur coloration, whiskers and short tail. They are herbivores that eat over a pound of plants like cacti and grasses each day and when threatened can run up to 40 mph and jump up to 10 feet to escape predators.
Rats
Rats come in different breeds that vary in size, color, and habitat. Brown rats typically weigh up to 8.1 oz and are 8-10 inches long, while black rats weigh 3.9-12 oz and are 13-18 inches long. Most rats are covered in fur and breathe through their nose. They give birth to litters of 8-10 young that are cared for about 3-4 weeks. While not endangered now, rats live on every continent except Antarctica and dwell near human structures.

Animals That Lay Eggs (with Pictures).pdf
Organisms have different methods of reproduction. To tell the truth, these different reproductive methods are the factors that divide animals into two categories: viviparous and oviparous animals. But more on that in a bit, here's a blog on the many different animals that lay eggs!
Do you want to know about animals that lay eggs?
Nature's way of maintaining the ecological balance on earth is something special. For example, Mother Nature has endowed living animals with the ability to go through the process of labor to directly give birth to their own kind.
Whereas, oviparous animals lay eggs that give birth to young as soon as they hatch.
Now, if you are stuck wondering because nature has allocated different reproductive processes to different animals, then we are just as clueless as you!
However, you can acknowledge the fact that every process created by nature is purposeful. For example, if nature has given birds the ability to lay eggs to produce their offspring, it may be for their own benefit.
The main reason for this is that birds cannot fly while carrying the weight of their young. By laying their eggs in a remote location, they thereby safeguard both themselves and their offspring.
We also understand how interested you are in learning about the ovoid animal species.
So, read on to know more about the complex egg-laying process and a description of the top 13 animals that lay eggs.
Animals That Lay Eggs
If we were to list all oviparous animals, you would get tired of reading the never-ending list!
A large number of prominent species in the animal kingdom are oviparous, including insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and even some mammals.
So, if you are ready to know about 13 animals that lay eggs, connect with us!
Birds
Birds are the first members of our list of animals that lay eggs. Birds are the most lively and colorful species of the animal kingdom, somewhat related to the ancient family of reptiles, the dinosaurs.
They are a very unique creation of nature because they are the only animals with feathers that are known to exist on Earth. These warm-blooded vertebrates are also known to be closest to reptiles due to the rough shape of their feet.
The largest birds alive today are the North African ostriches, which can reach 9 feet in height and weigh up to 350 pounds. The ostrich egg is the largest of any other bird species.
On the other hand, the smallest extant birds are Cuban native hummingbirds weighing less than 3 grams.
Also, the bird's feathers make them stand out among every other species.
However, having wings does not guarantee a bird's ability to fly. There are several flightless birds, including penguins, kiwis and ostriches, which, although they have wings, cannot fly due to some evolution that took place over the years.
Also, bird eggs have a hard shell that ensures safety and are laid in secluded areas like bird nests, such as a treetop or an abandoned room. The parents fulfill the responsibility of taking care it...
