Currently lions only live in the Eastern and Southern African grasslands (Savanna) and Saurashtra (Western India).Asiatic Lion in Gir Sanctuary (Gujarat,India):African Lion(African savanna):Lions thrive in open grasslands, with widely spaced and scattered trees. Imagine a kind of open area, dominantly yellow-brown in background where they can easily camouflage. This kind of habitat also is home to their prey species like buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, deer of various kinds in Africa and wild boars, sambar deer and other kinds of deer in Asia. Lions also hunt all other kind of small mammals, almost always herbivores.The ranges mentioned above are the only ones where they are found now, although they used to roam north African grasslands, Eastern Europe, and the western, central and southern parts of Asia till various periods throughout history, as late as the end of the 19th century.They were driven to extinction from those ranges due to heavy hunting and habitat loss.
Goliath Bird-Eater questions?
I've had a Goliath Bird-Eater tarantula for about 3 months now. My brother gave me his Mexican Red-Knee after he and his wife had a baby - he knew I had wanted one since I was five (I'm 23 now). Then about a month later, he bought me a Goliath Bird-Eater. She is approximately 3 or 4 years old, past Spiderling age. I was surprised to say the least, but I did the best I could by reading various tarantula care books. There are still a few unanswered questions, however. She has a very good appetite and eats loaded crickets, but hovers above her water dish quite often. This is irritating when I want to replace her water as I don't want to mess with her. I read that this is because the tank is not humid enough, but I mist the cage (not too much) and the hygrometer is at about 70 - 80%. Also, she does not hide in her log, though it is big enough for her. Why not? Could it be related to the fact that she also does not burrow in her substrate? I used the recommended soft bark and dry moss (for humidity), and it is several inches deep, but she does not even seem to attempt. I've heard mixed "facts" about whether or not they do this - any info? Thanks for everything!
Question about Hermit Crab Habitat!?
Okay, first of all, cardboard won't help. Use saran wrap or glad press-and-seal wrap. Wrap maybe about 90% of the tank, but leave a portion either in the middle or on one of the ends open. If you're having problems with your heat, but the heat lamp in that gap. Don't poke holes, it's too risky that they might not get enough air (unless they're really large holes). Just leave a somewhat large gap (again no more than 10% of the tank) and it should retain your humidity better. I would say no more than 5 crabs in a 10 gallon tank is your best bet. I mean you could go more if they're small, but you want your crabs to have room. I would say to try to get more smalls to keep your other small company. As the others have said, larger crabs sometimes bully smaller crabs, but this isn't something that always happens, so if you choose to get another medium crab that's fine too. Just make sure that there are enough shells to go around for all of your crabs (at least 2 or 3 per crab), enough food to go around, and a place that each of your crabs can call "their own" (hidey's and such), and that should minimize fighting. Hope this helps!
Spinosaurs largely lived in North Africa in the Cretaceous period. As such, the climate was very warm due to volcanic activity producing large amounts of greenhouse gases, although there were glaciers and snow towards the poles. Compared to the Jurassic period, temperatures had fallen considerably, but remained consistently warm until the end of the period.The local vegetation consisted of emerging flowering plants, which started to become more widespread thanks to insect species like bees. Mammals are starting to appear, but were largely small scavengers and nowhere near their Paleogene Era monstrosities. Other dinosaurs included other theropod predators like the Tyrannosaurus and herds of Ceratopsids like the Triceratops. Birds were also becoming common, and were starting to phase out the mighty flying reptiles like the Pterosaurs.
Snakes live in deserts,And among the branches of trees,On the rainforest floor,On windswept prairies,And temperate woodlands,Beneath the ground,In rivers and lakes,And in the open ocean.Pretty much everywhere except for the poles. :)
In addition to Christian Brown’s and John Robinson’s informative answers, I will also add my 2 cents.Oftentimes a baby spider’s first meal is one of its siblings. They eat their brothers and sisters. There is a great deal of cannibalism when the spiderlings first emerge from the egg sac, before they disperse. It’s not pretty to think about, but that is just how it works. This way they are stronger and just a bit bigger before they venture out into the dangerous world.And spiderlings definitely eat pollen, as John explained. There are minuscule pollen particles floating and landing pretty much everywhere, collecting on webs; dusting a leaf; on the surface of tiny droplets of water. Pollen can have up to a 61% protein content, so it is an excellent food source. Plus it’s a lot easier to catch than your brother. ;)I have raised batches of black widow spiderlings and Nephila spiderlings from egg sacs. When I transfer them into their own little containers, they busily build their webs as though they’ve been doing it for years. The orb weavers (Nephila) create perfect miniature orb webs, maybe an inch across. They are utterly amazing.When the spiderlings are still so small that they are barely visible, I use a paint brush to collect pollen from flowers, then tap it onto their webs. They happily gobble on the little clumps. Or sometimes I will mix some pollen into some water, then spray a fine mist onto their web, so as they slurp on the droplets it’s like they are drinking a little protein breakfast shake.Then, when the baby spiders are a wee bit bigger, I give them tiny fruit flies, which they wrap skillfully even without any practice. It is truly amazing to see such a tiny creature move so gracefully. It is a privilege to witness.
Chameleons live in climates ranging from cool to blazing hot, but they don’t live in areas that get below freezing. In terms of habitat, they live in cloud forests in montane regions, tropical rainforests, savannah, and deserts. There are many different species of chameleons.Namaqua chameleon (desert species, Namib desert):Montane pygmy chameleon (montane species)Usumbara three-horned chameleon, cloud forest species:Panther chameleon, tropical rainforest species:Flap-Necked chameleon, savannah species:Half of chameleon species live in Madagascar — most of the rest live in sub-Saharan Africa. A few live in India, the Middle East, and part of Spain.
What do i feed my tarantula spiderlings?
I recently received Giant white knee and a mexican red rump spiderling. These spiderlings are very small. They are 1/2" to 3/4". I'm not sure what to feed them. The only thing smaller than the spiderlings are ants but I'm scared that the ants will hurt them. The spiders don't even look like they've molted. They still have that transparency to them. Some one please help me. I love these guys and just want to keep them alive. Oh yeah...my rose hair wont eat...its been like 2 1/2 weeks since I got her from the pet shop. She's about 5 inches and i/ve been trying to feed her medium sized pinhead crickets. She looks perfectly healthy. One more thing...i was holding my baby versicolor the other day and it sprayed this greenish blueish stuff out of it's *** on to my arm that slightly burned. i guess it was ****...i dunno...do you know?
Spiders are ectothermic, so they have to be sensitive to temperature - their behaviour is geared around finding optimal microenvironments where the temperature is appropriate for whatever they're doing (there's studies for preferred temperature for habitats, copulation, web-building, spiderling development, etc.). Detecting the temperature is done using a special all-around sense organ in the feet, the tarsal organ (tarsus = last major leg segment, usually touches the ground fully). The tarsal organ is a chemoreceptor and humidity receptor, but it also houses a population of warm cells that show special sensitivity to temperature. In the model spider Cupiennis salei, they are sensitive at a level of 0.4°C (Hygro- and thermoreceptive tarsal organ in the spider Cupiennius salei). So, yes, spiders can feel a temperature difference of one degree.
