Today when I read the san Diego zoo website I read about a cobra. I read about how it lives in the desert’s of Asia and Africa. How cobras kill their prey is crazy, they bite the victim and release of venomous poison through the body of the victim and it stops their heart. A cobra will attack a human if it feels threatened. With any bite from a snake a cobras bite can be deadly if not treated properly. The king cobra may grow to be 18.5 feet long, making it the largest venomous snake in the world.
This is what I learned when I read this sort of autobiography on the king cobra. But I also did not know that if a cobra stood straight that it is taller than the average man.
And another thing I learned is that the mother king cobra leaves the baby snakes when they are born, don’t know why they just do.
3 ANIMALS
►King Snake
►Habitat: Scrubland
Class: Reptilia (Reptiles) Order: Squamata Family: Colubridae Genus: Lampropeltis Species: 8 species Body length: is DISTRIBUTED about 14 to 84 inches (36 to 213 centimeters), depending on species Weight: up to 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilograms) Life span: 20 to 30 years Incubation: 2 to 3 months Number of eggs laid: 3 to 13 eggs Length at hatch: is VARIED from 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 centimeters), depending on species Age of maturity: 3 to 4 years
This kind of snakes are Kingsnakes, they are also one of the most spread snake species in the United States. They are ground-dwelling snakes that often kill and eat other snakes, even venomous ones, including rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths, because kingsnakes are highly resistant to their venom.
►Bald Eagle
►Habitat: Scrubland
Class: Aves (Birds) Order: Falconiformes Family: Accipitridae Genus: Haliaeetus Species: leucocephalus Body length: they can OBTAIN 29 to 42 inches (74 to 107 centimeters) Wingspan: 5.5 to 8 feet (1.7 to 2.4 meters) Weight: males—6 to 9 pounds (2.7 to 4 kilograms); females— 10 to 15 pounds (4.5 to 6.8 kilograms) Life span: SPECIFIC 25 to 40 years Number of eggs laid: 1 to 3 Incubation: 35 days Age of maturity: is COMPUTED at 4 years
This kind of eagle is called bald for the term white. Also its favorite food is fish. bald eagles come equipped with spiny scales and sharp talons on their toes for gripping slippery fish. A hungry eagle will wait on its favorite perch until it spies a fat fish near the surface. It can swoop down on the water and quickly grab a fish with those special feet. Then, holding tight, the eagle flies back to its nest or a convenient perch in a tree to enjoy its meal
►Mountain Lion
►Habitat: Scrubland
Class: Mammalia (Mammals) Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Genus: Felis Species: concolor Length: males—3 to 6 feet (90 to 180 centimeters); females—3 to 5 feet (90 to 150 centimeters) Height at shoulder: 1.9 to 2.3 feet (60 to 70 centimeters) Weight: males—147 to 227 pounds (67 to 103 kilograms); females—79 to 132 pounds (36 to 60 kilograms) Life span: up to 20 years Gestation: 3 months Number of young at birth: 1 to 6, usually 3 or 4 Size at birth: 8 to 15 ounces (227 to 425 grams) Age of maturity: 2 to 3 years
This kind of mammal is Mountain lions, they are also are solitary cats, except during breeding and when a mother has cubs. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have ACHIEVE contact with one another. They live in areas called "home ranges," which vary in size from 30 to 125 square miles (78 to 324 square hectares). These ranges overlap, so the cats share some parts. The home ranges of the males tend to be the largest, and they overlap the smaller ranges of several females.
The habitat that interests me the most is the Island habitats. Many island habitats are different from each other but the one thing they do have in common is they are all completely isolated from the mainland. Since these habitats are completely separated from the mainland even different species are found only in islands. Island ecosystems on islands are really fragile and even the slightness human activity can destroy the habitat. One kind of animal the Tasmanian Devil are only found in the island of Tasmania which is a part of Australia. Another type of animal that are found only on islands are scorpions. Many people believe that scorpions are insects but they are really arachnids. Not all venoms carried by scorpions are the same. Different species of scorpions have a variety of venoms. Scorpions achieve their goal of finding a mate with their stingers. Scorpions are hard to see and even harder to obtain. The animal that interested me the most was the Komodo Dragon. It interested me the most that the Komodo Dragon is the oldest living lizard its ancestors have been linked back 100 million years. The Komodo Dragon is also the largest living lizard.
The lion is one of the most dangerous animals in jungle the lion is very over protective of his clan and doesn't like intruders the lion is a very well adapting animal . The lion takes care of the cubs will the mothers are hunting and make sure that the cubs have enough food. The scorpion is a very little but deathly animal his tail is use to kill pray because it injects venom into pray the scorpion mostly feeds on small pray but it some cases the scorpion can eat a big pray like a big spider scorpions are very well and hide and go seek what I mean by that they could hide and wait for there pray to come to them scorpions lives in grassy plains or the dessert .The piton is a very dangerous animal because it kills pray by raping around the pray and taking there air out until they die the piton lives in swaps and eats large animals like deer wild pigs and other animals it is know that a piton could kill and eat a baby hippo.
Toucan … I chose the toucan. Why because I like birds. A toucan is very interesting because it has a pick about 4 times longer thane his head, he also has coolers and his pick. The toucan lives and a wonderful place . The toucan lives far up In the trees of the forest. Toucans can fly all over the forest could go so up high and the trees that they could sea everything. And by going to the zoo I had to bring a parent slip and I forgot it but then I achieve by bring it back. When we war getting in the buses we had to compute the sets. I was specifically chose to a different group. I had to obtain a toucan while I was over at the zoo.

Brown bears have a large hump of muscle on top of their shoulders and long front claws that make them powerful diggers. They dig large, cozy dens for their winter home. The bears spend four to six months a year curled deep in sleep in a den. Which is one-third to one-half of their lifetime! This sleep is called hibernation, the bears' heart rate slows from up to 70 beats per minute to only 10 beats per minute while there in hibernation. Habitat: temperate and coniferous forest, open fields, mountain highlands, and tundra
♥ The habitat that I find more interesting is the insects. From the insects I find the ladybugs to being my favorites. Ladybugs are one of the most popular symbols of springtime. Ladybugs are also known as lady beetles. They are small and usually round shaped. They are mostly red with tiny black dots or there orange with tiny black dots. Another insect that I find very cute is the butterfly. Butterflies and moths are actually te same thing except that butterflies have a little something that’s different. The antenna of a butterfly is are usually long, smooth, and usually round from the end. A butterfly is a caterpillar before it turns into a butterfly. It develops inside a chrysalis and protected with a cocoon. My third insect that I think is pretty is the bee. The bee is a small insect that is either brown, black, or striped with white yellow or orange lines. The make honey by gathering it from the flowers.
The Wild ass is sleek graceful proud and majestic wild members of the horse family Equidae horses zebras and wild asses have long held a strong fascination for humans. Found in some of the most unlivable habitats in the world wild asses are able to obtain a living and thrive where most animals could not. All wild asses have bristly upright manes like their zebra relatives. The African wild asses have soft gray bodies and vary white bellies spiky black-and-gray manes and unique black and white stripes on their legs that also hint of their family connections. Wild cattle are larger members of the bovid family, a scientific grouping that also includes antelope goat and sheep. The pygmy hippopotamus is usually solitary but can sometimes be found in small family groups. Males called bulls, have larger territories than cows (females) and both mark their homes with their distribute of droppings
