African Leopard Animals

Leopards are popular for their opportunistic hunting behaviour as they are having the ability to adapt to Jaguars and leopards both are melanistic and are commonly called as black panthers. The body fur is marked by rosettes similar to that of the jaguar but the rosettes are somewhat smaller and are more densely packed and lack the central spots as the jaguars possess. It resembles jaguar but is smaller and somewhat slightly built.

Leopards have short legs, long body and large skull in comparison to others members of the cat family. IUCN has kept leopards in the category of Near Threatened species as they are on the verge of being extinct. Earlier they were distributed across the eastern and southern Asia and Africa, from Siberia to South Africa but now their population has declined heavily because of mass killing and they are now confined to areas of sub-Saharan Africa and also in fragmented numbers in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indochina and China. They are the smallest of the four big cats which includes lion, tiger and the jaguar.

The scientific name of the leopard is Panthera pardus. They are placed in the class Mammalia, order Carnivora as they are carnivores and the family Felidae. Leopards come under the kingdom Animalia and phylum Chordata. We are talking about the leopards. Their bright colours, soft fur, extremely developed running capability makes them immensely successful among the predators.

While barely visible to the naked eye, it has a dramatic A feature used to identify mammoth ivory is a brownish or blue-green colored 'blemish' called vivianite, an iron phosphate. Although there are many similarities between fossil mammoth ivory and elephant ivory, there are identification methods that can distinguish the two. Each tusk exhibits unique character and beauty that is never duplicated in another piece of fossil tusk ivory. The colors vary from tan to dark brown depending on the mineral deposits that were in the immediate soil surrounding the fallen mammoth.

The beautiful fossil ivory hues of tan, brown and blue are the result of thousands of years of mineralization. Regardless of the way they are discovered, fossil ivory is excavated in accord with applicable federal and state regulations. Other times the tusks are unearthed as a natural result of gold mining or road construction activities. Bush pilots sometimes spot the massive tusks jutting out from riverbanks in the Alaska tundra. The massive tusks, which have been hidden for thousands of years in the remote Arctic tundra of Alaska, Canada and Siberia, are unearthed many ways.

Their skeletons and tusks were then naturally buried for eons in the frozen earth. These great animals ultimately succumbed to the drastic climate changes accompanying great ice ages. These great creatures were larger than today's Indian elephants and their tusks could weigh up to 300 pounds each and measure over 16 feet in length. You may have seen drawings of the great Woolly Mammoths that wandered our earth freely over 10,000 years ago.

The trees will be up to 35 metres tall and form a canopy over The canopy, next layer up, is probably the best known of the rain forest layers. You will find birds, snakes, butterflies and frogs here and the whole area will be filled with activity and colour. These will grow until they are just under the canopy of the forest and will wait there until they find a space to grow into.

Although these are small in comparison to the taller trees of the forest, they can still reach up to around 20 metres in height. The rain forest layers then continue with a layer of small trees called the understory. Next will be a shrub layer which is home to many varieties of shrubs and ferns. Many larger animals will be found here including big cats, elephants and gorillas.

There will be some mosses and ferns growing in the warm and damp. This layer will be home to millions of micro organisms and invertebrates which live amongst the fallen leaves. Much of the sunlight does not penetrate here and in fact only around 2% of the sunlight reaches the floor. The lowest is the forest floor.

There are five rain forest layers which are clearly definable. They will also support a huge variety of plant life which will vary according to the rain forest layers in which they exist. The rain forest is made up of layers which will all have a different characteristic and be the home for a range of different birds, animals and insects.

Gestation When okapis are pregnant, they retreat into dense forest to give birth. The last official sighting there dates to 1959, almost five decades ago. Recently, scientists have uncovered evidence that okapis may also be surviving in the Congo's Virunga National Park.

Okapi Endangered Animal Photos

The okapi currently inhabits the dense, moist rainforests of the Ituri Forest in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A number of the plants eaten by the okapi are known to be poisonous to humans. Okapis feed on grass, fruit, fungi, and leaves. Its face is also hued in white on the side, fading into the richer reddish-brown toward the neck and forehead and its black muzzle. Their coats are mostly reddish-brown/chestnut in color, with dark zebra-like stripes canvased against its white hind quarters and all four legs.

In body structure, they are similar to giraffes, except with much shorter necks. Okapis usually weigh 465 - 550 lbs. Its tail is about 12 - 17 in in length. The okapi is generally 6 - 8 ft long and stands close to 5 - 6.5 ft in height.

Poaching and habitat destruction, coupled with continued military strife and social unrest, may put the future of this species at risk. It is currently a "Near Threatened" species residing in stretches of rainforest in central Africa. It had been known to the peoples of Africa since at least the Egyptian times, but was only brought to prominence in Western perception in the early 1900s. The okapi is an unique mammal of Africa, bearing the appearance of both a zebra and a giraffe.

The females work as a team to bring down an The Females are the ones who do most of the hunting for the group. It then mates with the females to produce its own offspring. When a male lion wants to take over a pride, it fights the dominant male in the group, if it wins, it chases it away and takes over. It marks it of with urine, roaring to warn of intruders and fighting those who are daring enough to intrude.

No other animal is supposed to intrude. The male lion marks off at least 100 square kilometers of land as its domain. Though lions are social animals, two prides can not occupy the same space. It can either be black or brown in color. A grown up male lion has a beautiful mane that runs from the neck to the upper back.

The male cubs once they mature leave the pride in such of a group they can dominate. The lionesses are all related as they are born and mature in the group. This is the one that mates with all the females in the group. There is normally a dominant male that is stronger and commands the group. The pride normally is made up of about fifteen females and their young ones and up to three males.

These groups are known as prides. Lions are the only cats that live in groups. It was given this name because of its beauty, majesty and pride. The African Lion is also known as the King of the Jungle.

East Africa : Status, density, and ecology have been intensely studied. The author also reported on its ecology. Data on the species' presence, status, and notes on its ecology are available for most of South Africa (Lynch, 1989; Pringle, 1977; Rautenbach & Nel, 1978; Rowe-Rowe, 1978, 1992; Stuart et al., 1985), Angola (Crawford-Cabral & Paias Simoes, 1990), Namibia (Hines, 1990; Viljoen, 1982), and Zimbabwe (Childes, 1988) West Africa : Distribution and status of the species have been recently investigated (Sillero-Zubiri, 1994, 1995). A sound account of the species' ecology in the sub-region is found in Mills & Hes (1997) and in Skinner & Smithers (1990). Data on population structure in the eastern Transvaal lowveld are discussed in Maddock & Mills (1994).

Aspects of the ecology of the species in this sub-region are also described by Reich (1977, 1978). Southern Africa : Population structure, density, dispersal patterns, and some aspects of the ecology of this species in the Kruger National Park are discussed by Mills (1991) and Maddock & Mills (1994). In the last few years, wild dog populations have been constantly monitored in most of the range of their occurrence. Ginsberg & Macdonald (1990) give a detailed picture of the distribution, status and ecology of this species.

Distribution, density, and population structure have been investigated throughout the continent, together with habitat and area requirements, diet, and behavioural aspects of its ecology. This is one of the most endangered large carnivores in the world, and in the last years a great effort has been addressed to preserving the species from extinction.

In general, animals are adapted to rely upon certain natural foods found in their environments to satisfy all their nutritional needs, and other foodstuffs may be unhealthy for them. First, unnatural feeding opportunities,may lead to lasting behavioral changes that may in the long term, prove counterproductive. There are several ways in which such activities may be harmful.

Such activities constitute serious behavioral disruptions for marine life, and threaten their health and survival. Trying to communicate feelings of affection, support, or understanding by petting or feeding marine animals may be satisfying to humans, but all available scientific evidence suggests that such practices actually harm the intended "friend". Perhaps the purveyors of such images are trying to convey the idea to timid diving prospects that our oceans are really safe and friendly places; nonetheless, regardless of the reasons, the activities these images and the dive marketing community are promoting in this regard constitute advocating an environmentally unsound policy. Scenes of scuba divers engaging in such activities are frequent in dive tourism advertising. An unfortunate trend within the marketing segment of the sport diving industry has been to increasingly encourage and promote the feeding, touching and/or handling of marine life.

There are reportedly 600 addax managed in captive breeding programs. There are currently more than 1000 addax held in captivity in the US, Europe and the Middle East. And although it is legally protected, hunting is still a threat.
Excessive hunting for its flesh and hide seems to be the main cause of decline for the addax. There are only a few hundred left in the wild. It is believed that the female gives birth to one calf after a gestation period of 8 to 9 months. Little is known about its reproductive biology in the wild. They are only found in northeastern Niger, northern Chad, and along the Mauritanian/Mali border.
They are able to thrive in the desert with no water source. The addax prefers to travel through the desert at night in search of sparse vegetation in the desert that manages to grow during rainfall. The addax is a desert creature and hardly ever needs water except from the drops of water it gets from eating plants. The average length of the addax is around 5 feet and it has a shoulder height of around 3 feet. There is a patch of black hair on its forehead and it has a black tuft on its tail.
Its coat is grayish brown in the winter and changes to nearly white in the summer. The addax is a large antelope with long and thin spiral horns with two and sometimes three twists.

The last Quagga died in in 1883 in an Amsterdam Zoo. However, its limited range made it all the more vulnerable and Quaggas were hunted to the brink of extinction in the mid 19th Century by settlers razing sheep, goats and other livestock. The Quagga's hearing, the Ostrich's eyesight and the Wildibeast's keen sense of smell comprised excellent defense from predators for the entire herd. In the wild, Quaggas, Ostriches and Wildebeests often grazed together in what was termed the "triple alliance".
Some thought incorrectly that the Quagga was the female of Burchell's Zebra, probably because the natives gave both zebras the same name. Quagga, Equus burchelli quagga, of the Karoo Plains and southern Free State of South Africa were a subspecies of the Burchellâ€™s Zebra, although their unique appearance wouldn't necessarily make this apparent.

Estimations show that around one in 10,000 wild tiger A white tiger is caused by the occurrence of a double recessive allele in the genome. The gene for white coating is quite common among Bengal tigers, but the natural birth of a white Bengal tiger is still a very rare occasion in the wild, where white tigers are not bred selectively. They are instead the result of Siberian tigers breeding with Bengal tigers. The famous white Siberian tigers found in captivity are actually not pure Siberian tigers.
More research is necessary before scientists can fully understand the genetic make up of the Siberian tiger. The wild Siberian tiger population nearly went extinct during the middle of the 20th century, so it is also possible that the Siberian tigers carrying the gene for white coating died out during this period. It is quite possible that the gene for white coating does not exist in the Siberian tiger population, since no pure white Siberian tigers have been born in captivity even though the Siberian tiger has been extensively bred during the last few decades. The existence of pure white Siberian tigers has not been scientifically proven, despite occasional reports of sightings of white tigers in the regions where wild Siberian tigers live.
