Flying Copycats

Sterlings are copycats. This bird can baa like a sheep, bark like dogs and scream like children. They can also tweet like a whistle, which confuses sport players. They do not have the best singing voice in the bird world by far, but you can't blame them for trying. They copy other birds as much as they are able to. No two sing the same song, they all aur original.

The best at singing is the best at mating, maybe because they are most likely to protect their hatchling, to scare away predators. Each season the males add more sounds to their songs. They nest everywhere from skyscrapers to woodpecker holes and birdhouses.

Blackfish

Keeping whales in captivity ends in violence at times. We have take responsibility in capturing these animals, and accept the consequences.

Orca Whales referred to as Killer Whales or Blackfish are toothed whales found in the Artic and Antarctic waters. They have a diverse diet. Individual groups or pods have certain prey.

Will there be Animals in the Future.

TIt's very hard to say if there will be animals in the future.  There is a massive increase of endangered species today, more then there has been in all recorded history.  You cannot watch any animal documentary without hearing about an endangered species. Pollution, poachers, and land deforestation are the major causes of this. It could be as little as thirty years before certain species are wiped out of existence.

The human population is growing at an alarming rate which is another reason this is occuring. For example within the Amazon hundreds of square miles are being cut annually. Regrowing natural habitats are not that successful. This  brought to my attention that the mining and lumber industry do a great deal of harm by recourse extraction. An example of repopulation of endangered species are in zoos.

Hagfish

They are one of the most dangerous deep sea creatures. With their mucous producing skin which is poisonous all, they are able to kill, even the great white shark. Last fall a study published the first ever discovery.of them. 500 hours of video were analyzed off the New Zealand coast and fourteen encounters were witnessed between them and seal sharks and conger eels, which the Hagfish was victorious in every situation

King Cobra

The King Cobra is the largest venomous snake at a whopping sixteen and a half inches. It hunts other snakes and eats them whole.

It lifts its head and spreads its ears when angry. It lives in Southeast Asia as well as China. It lives and hunts in groups. It actually climbs trees when pursuing prey.

Since forests have been cleared, there has been more human encounters. Cobra means snake eater. Snake charmers use Asian cobras since they have bigger hoods. It tracks its prey by a sense of smell that it originates within its tongue.

Nile Crocodile

A Nile Crocodile is the largest reptile in Africa, at 20 inches. It weighs about 1,980 pounds. They can remain under water for more than an hour.

It lives in central to south Africa. It can survive wherever water is, even a short time in salt water. Their young can even live in puddles.

It can survive a year without eating. It eats just about anything.
