DOLPHIN INTELLIGENCE
Dolphins is one of the most intelligent creatures superior to dogs and horses. Many people are amazed the speed which they learned. They leap out in the water in graceful formation. They can throw things in great accuracy.
While in sea, this animal can dive more than 1,000 feet below the ocean surface without wasting time for decompression. They can swim at speed of more than 24 miles per hour and can locate objects up to 400 yards away from underwater sonar clicks. They can communicate on two separate voice channels at once. the can emit a series of clicks, whistles and blotting sounds under water and make squawks and squeaks with their heads out of the water.
Its sonar is so sophisticated. He can direct it mixing signals into high and low-frequency components. they are warm-blooded, air breathing creatures who bear their young alive, and suckle them. they a remarkable ability to navigate in pitch darkness of the ocean depths.
How do dolphins breathe? Researchers believed that the centers controlling respiration probably are located in the cerebral cortex instead from the brain stem. The breathing is always a conscious and voluntary act for dolphins and whales.
Baby dolphins are born under water and within moments take their breath of air. They automatically open and breathe through their brand-new little air vent at just the right moment, then close it tight again, submerging to swim alongside their parent. the established perfectly the voluntary act of breathing by opening and closing the air vent at precisely that instant when the dorsal hump is above the surface and just barely before it plunges below again.
The baby porpoises nurse under water, too. Swimming alongside their mothers, the little grinning creatures suckle at their mother’s specially built underwater paps, somehow managing to receive only milk, and no salt water. this brings to us wonders the amazing proclivity of the porposies.
LIONS
The rhythm of the moon is important to lion’s hunting. He kills more less than half in full moon or moon below the horizon. Too much moonlight can make a successful kill out of many attempts. Open grasslands are their preferred hunting grounds.
They choose to hunt in the coolest hours as an energy conservation measure as they have small heart and cannot withstand the demands of a long chase in the heat of the day.
The belief that only lioness kill prey is wrong, male lions do hunt successfully. Lion usually kill by strangling or suffocating their prey, but when the elephant’s attackers clampsed their jaws into its mouths and throat, their victim could still breathe through its trunks. But later on, many hours did the elephants succumb.
Although lions make their living by tearing meat apart, they are also a social animal and very playful.
Lion are not purely hunters, they are sometimes, steal carcasses from hyenas. Lions and hyenas are skilled hunters and each species steal kills from the other. There is a constant conflict between lions and hyenas arising from competition for food or often due to pure aggression.
Some hyenas inflict viscious wounds on lioness that had separated from her group with no kill present to quarrel. Lions will deliberately hunt down hyenas and kill them with bothering to feed on the remains. Lions can charge directly into hyena clan ansd kill depend on who wins.
An adult lioness weighhs approximately 300 pounds while hyena is 175 pounds. But in clash, each side is rarely at full strength. The heavier the weight always the one won.
FRIGATE BIRD
During courtship, frigate display its remarkable red pouch. They are stay-at-home bird always in their lair. They are superb flier and unmitigated pirate. In feeding, he fly gracefully above other birds then wait for one to catch fish then swoop unerringly to attack forcing the victim to drop its prize. then snatches the falling fish in mid-air, gulp it down and climb aloft to wait for another morsel. A male frigate bird displays its bright pouch to attract female attention during courtship and nestbuilding. The pouch stay inflated in flight and even when the bird is asleep, but after nest building its pouch deflates. The female only lays eggs each year, and must protect the chick from other frigate birds.
