The monkeys laugh like humans

Researchers from the University of California concluded that the apes also laugh when they play.

One of our fundamental exclusiveness-laugh-just succumb. Experts in the field have discovered that primates do something similar, plus what was already known and was called "teeth bared, a retraction of the lips is nothing that a stimulus versus fear conditions.

Actually, now comes to know that there is an expression in chimps and relaxed open mouth and usually associated with gambling, and often is accompanied by a short vocalization, which is the accurate characterization of a laugh.

Is there no zebra stripes?

The three species of zebras that live in Africa today are striped, although scientists do not agree on whether the animals were colored black with white stripes or white with black stripes.

In any case, the drawing of the skin of these horses has a dual role: serves as a mark of identity and confusion for predators, because they find it difficult to distinguish the boundaries of a copy within the herd.

Only in cases of albinism, scratches appear in light shades, due to lack of pigment. Once there was a subspecies of zebra, the cuaga, which only had scratches on his neck. Died in 1883.

Are there any animals left-handed?

All the animals most commonly used as another limb, due to a neurological phenomenon known as lateralization.

For example, 88% of humans are right-handed, while wild chimpanzees using tools such as sticks to hunt termites prefer to grasp with his left hand, as demonstrated by Elizabeth V. Lonsdorf of the University of Chicago. Curiously, those bred in captivity are skilled, perhaps because they mimic their caregivers.

Animals - Eat or be eaten

Eat or be eaten, I have the dilemma that there are all animal species in the universe. The solution to the problem is malar to eat and this is not so simple. The need to feed on plants: they are herbivores, meat, carnivores, and both omnivores. In the latter two groups are the images that illustrate this story.

But the victims are not easy prey; not be caught, nor eat, and also trying to impede the process of feeding predators. So they have no choice but to seek the most various tricks to fill their stomachs every day or whenever it is required by their agencies. The nature imposed on the survival and the prevailing law of Fucile.

The species that will obtain more and have better security with a larger number of offspring. From the viewpoint of the dam, those that are most successful for dodging the enemy in all likelihood will leave more offspring. Thus, predation affects both the evolution of predator and the victim.

Carnivores and herbivores are distinguished by their teeth
However, if there is anything that distinguishes the animal species is the manner in which they feed, so there is an apparent difference between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

These are teething.
The latter two groups are equipped with fangs with which reluctantly and kill the prey and then swallow. Herbivores, by contrast, have large molar teeth that enable them to grind through the chewing, plants and seeds at a time that is mixed with saliva starting the digestive process in the same mouth.

Vultures murderers

The vultures are scavengers.
There are close to their prey until they are assured that you are completely dead. Even waiting for the predator who gave hunting leaves.
So what has become murderers? Ranchers in the area of Navarre complained that their livestock were being attacked by vultures.

Although initially it was hard to believe, is found in some animal hospitals in Spain and France, had been detained with other birds of prey, not carrion. Of these could have learned this pattern of conduct. Although there were a danger, from now may be for entire flocks.

Dr. David Houston, biologist at the University of Glasgow and specialist vultures, said: "It's really special to see them attacking and eating a live animal."

Houston, also asserts that: "I know of no deep and serious work (there are only a few isolated events) who has studied similar behaviour in any of the populations of vultures in the world. "Finally, the vultures specialist talks about the possibility that these birds have lost their fear of pets and humans: Are we not altering the nature of our action?

Squid bioluminescent

About 700 animal species are bioluminescent, meaning that your body is! Ability to deliver phosphorescent light. These include a type of cephalopod, Watasenia scintillans, originating in the seas of Japan.

Of seven centimeters in length and nine grams, this squid live most of the year in the abyssal depths, but each spring rises to the surface to spawn.
This moment is expected as water May by thousands of curious ... and by fishermen Namerikawa, coastal city of Toyama Bay that has developed an entire industry based on this squid.

The networks are cast between March v April, and the volume of catches of these copies fluorescent ranges between 5,000 and 7,000 tonnes per year; light their properties do not preclude a dish is very popular in Japanese cuisine.

This power squid is due to the chemical reaction of an enzyme, luciferasa, which produces light in special cells called fotocitos and collecting bodies located in 800 at its mantle ventral, five other area under the eye, and three in the tip of its tentacles.

Investigating whales

Being first among whales is a memorable experience. And even more when it comes to the Franco-southern right whale, the most weak among all large cetaceans.

In Atlanta there are about 350 individuals North and South in Atlanta, about 12,000, of whom one third live on the Peninsula Vaidés, Argentina.
Its quiet coves are the ideal places to see dozens of mothers with their offspring approaching boat tourists, and remain there without moving.
"The population here is growing at 7% per annum," said Mariano Sironi, biologist from the Institute of Conservation of Whales (ICB), while a large tail hit the water several times a few metres from our tiny zodiac.

The institute works in collaboration with Roger Payne, one of the most respected scholars of whales.
"Since 1970 we identified photographically by air and sea some 2,000 animals and do follow-up. Our catalog is the largest and the study is more continuity in the world. Each cetacean mind," explains Sironi.

Among the work of BCI, researchers evaluated the health status of the frank through the height of the roll of fat on his neck. He also estimated the age of juveniles across photogrammetry. His study is more detailed than exists on the behavior of juveniles and their social interactions.

Suddenly, an albino ballenato approaches the boat on the starboard side. Her mother censorship Apart from his daring us with the powerful tail. But the small ignored and resolves to dive out by port. His snout is almost pink, her skin is soft and his face is covered by the frank nature of the calluses, which also serve to identify him, according to Payne discovered. At aspire, retozón ballenato produces a noise similar to a large body.

"Now, thanks to the Programme right whale, led by Victoria Rowntree, we have accumulated information vital to science and we have also reached many people across our program of adoption of this species. In addition we are analysing the impact of diving on the behavior of these cetaceans, which is a new problem in power, "says Sironi.

Suddenly the bay full of whales jumping, applauding and water delivered to their games: his favorite sport is surfing, exposing the tail to the wind, how to sail.
When darkened accompanied us with three-dimensional sound of their breaths, augmented by the echo and a calm night without wind.

Trafficking in illegal species by the mafia

Wrapped in a white cloth, tied up and then sausage in a tube of vegetable fibre, and illegally arrived at their destination this predator.
This is just one of the methods used by traffickers animals, one of the wealthiest in the illegal business world, comparable to weapons and drug trafficking, which moves about 4,000 million euros a year.

From 1990 to 2005 have been seized 52,496 animals in the world, transported from one country to another illegally, and 25,830 plants, in addition to 471,740 kilograms of derivatives, such as hair elephant ivory, skins, trophies and legs.

What to do before the aggression of a dog

A bite of a dog, is always considered a dirty wound. So, basically when this happens, you should wash the wound with soap and water or disinfectant neutral as the first instance.

If the wound too much blood, we can cover with a clean cloth and wet.

But basically in all cases, although this is minor injuries, and the sooner, we have to hit emergency, where in addition to cure it, you bring vaccines.

If necessary, then the dog will be quarantined. In the case of a vagabond dog, which probably is not vaccinated, the kennel will locate and bring the animal.

As for the injured person, which will reassure and give affection, especially if it involves a child, since it is of utmost importance that can overcome the shock, and that there is any trace of him when confronted with other animals these characteristics.

The truth about cats and dogs

They say those who understand these things as pets put names short, sound and easy to remember, type Xana, Tobi, or allusive.

Many times, how to call the dogs or cats has to do with how it looks-Mancha or Shadow are classics-to-Rebelde his personality, or his behavior-Princess-Typhoon. Bandito ...-. Sometimes also elected lamosos names of characters from history, literature, film or song.
I have a friend whose dog, an English shepherd, is called Troslky, and
another penalty as a setter, responds to the name of Shakira.

The penalty of Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onelti was called The biche, and in French. The Argentine Julio Cortazar also had a gala French flanelle, anclaba always escape by the roofs and sometimes crashed in a fall.
And Mary Zambrano, who came to be over twenty Gauls Je Je all races and fur, so yours should strive to find names for Rhodes: Tigra. Blanquitla. Rila, Lucia. Pelusa ...

He was also very Je cats Alian Edgar Poe, who had two that were called Cattarina and Pluto, and the writer Colette, who always lived surrounded by Minin, for those who chose names forthright and noble: Musca t. Cleopatra. Semiramis ...

Pio Baroja had a dog, Thor, who took the
and the rage he had to shoot, in an incident very romantic, with the pistol of one civil guard. And Anton Chekhov lived with a partner Je dogs, who called bromide v Quinine.

But if there is a writer Je-loving animals that was Lord Byron, who turned their homes in zoos with cabaüos, the ga, eagles, ravens, hawks and even a monkey.

The English poet had many dogs, including a Swiss Mastin called Mutz and a Newfoundland named Contramaestre, his favorite, which buried with all honors in the ruins of a chapel Je the bottom of Newstead, and for which he wrote the following epitaph: "Around this place lie the remains Je who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man without his Vivian."

Strategies animal mating

The main occasions for cooperation animal are GALANTE, the copulation and breeding. The variety of responses to the need to work originates various mating strategies.

These strategies are as follows. First mention monogamy, which is the union in which both are involved throughout the reproductive process, for example, in the case of most birds. Then there's polygamy, where one male was aparea with several females, as do orangutans, gorillas, sea lions and Ornitorrinco. And lastly, polyandry, where a female is paired several males, for example, quail or female chimpanzee. In the latter case sends biology, since the female is fertile only every seven years, so it accepts be mounted by all males in the group, she makes sure that fertilization and not wasted an opportunity so valuable over time.

In each case, the strategy that best guarantees the reproduction which is extracted the nature and prevailing for each species.

Returning to monogamy, it is important to spell out that there has been a balance between conflicting interests. This happens because they raise new beings is so expensive that requires the collaboration of two members to carry it out, as in many birds. Another source suggests that when the couple is known, facilitates the reproduction, what happens, for example, long-lived species like the orca, where factors such as memory. In mammals, the female is enough alone to breastfeed for farming, so the marriage is often merely seasonal: lasts little more than the sexual encounter.

When the time comes to mating, there are a number of general characteristics. Most of the fish, for example, makes an external fertilization, in which the male and female get together during the time of reproduction. The female releases the eggs and the water with their male sperm. Species such as the hippocampus or mullet actual real parents are responsible, because males are responsible for hatching eggs. The first, on a specific bag, while the mullet in the mouth takes about eight days.

Although amphibians are coupled, its external fertilization is because the male has no penis. They mounted the female until they deposited eggs, a process that can be extended several days, and watering them with his sperm.

In birds, the male usually placed over the female, join sewers (only holes, which serve both for the sperm to excrement) and transferred semen to the female genital organs. The watercraft (such as ducks, geese, swans, and others), the male has developed a small penis hidden that excels in sexual intercourse.

Almost all male reptiles have penis: the crocodile and turtle male is similar to that of mammals, lizards and snakes look but one that actually are two, if only part of the side that tap. This turns upside down and is fixed to the female. They, store sperm and use it at intervals until several months or even years later.

In mammals, it is usual that the male to female mountain behind, do some pelvic movements, ejaculation and withdraw.

The bad side of the animal in the love

No non illuminated human being has stopped to experience that together with the divine fondness they also arrive the pulses of infernal posesividad. On a brown bear of the National Park of Yellowstone, naturalistic Thomas McNamee wrote: You couched in the nest of sheets and paths that it were your day bed, passing a claw protector and possessive for your shoulder. When other brown bears came closer... a single grunt used to be enough so that the competitor went away.

The jealousies also blind and they deafen the animals. For example, the male tiger never removes you the view to your female: the slightest movement in your queue "even captures your carefulness." Fisher says: The human tendency to pursue, and even to murder, to a bewildered lover probably comes from this animal tendency to monitor the couple.

Konrad Lorenz, the founder of the etología, is who better you have studied the aggression instinct. But the one of the integrated aggression to the affection--typical of the human bewildered lovers--you found it Drösher in the tigers: The honeymoon of the feline big predators begins with the females behaving as children. This way it attracts the tiger. At the beginning, this you are to the expectation and you observe your movements at a sure distance. Then she is about him different times, you expand your flanks to your view, you coax it with your games, you show you all your feminine charms, you purr you and, at the end, you caress the boyfriend's face with the hair of your mustache. If the male tiger believes that you have already arrived to the object of your yearnings, you make a mistake. When you also try to be expressed with fondness, the female changes humor suddenly and you stop to be a loving kitten to become a beast that puff, you teach the teeth and sack the claws.

But if the conquest is persistent, the mating you almost homicidal restitution: the core catches with the teeth the nape of the female and in the frontier of a mortal bite it stimulates it savagely. Drösher concluded: You are the curious mixture of opposed instincts. When an in love person says to your couple: You would eat "you to kisses", express the sentimental status with a lot of justeza.

But the history pasional of the tigers continues, with reminiscences to the insane lovers and tanáticos. After the delivery, to the female the demons enter you: you shake of the boyfriend and you attack it with genuinely murderous intentions... the core is unable to reject it for purely psychic reasons, although the female is about to kill him. The tiger, if you don't have before been able to undertake the leak, you undergo defenseless to this but cruel... then, the animal acts with a 'freshness' that seem incredible: to the end of little while, you attract it again with tender meows...

Here it fits a reflection more: the tigers are animal solitary. The ritual of love is almost the same one for the lion, for example, but this you have a gregarious spirit and, you seem that for this reason, never be the one in hazard of the self-absorbed tiger of dying after a satisfied, alone and self-destructing female. The flock makes them brutally solidary. Naturalistic George Schaller describes to the incited lioness: You seem to be that a core in period of retinue was a gazelle next to a pond. So it discontinued the retinue to get the trophy. Then it took the delicious gift to the female and you sat down near her to contemplate how she ate up everything. A moving and surprising detail if we keep in mind that you were hungry.

Maybe the biggest argument against the hippies and your love libérrimo had been able to come from the professor Otto Koening, director of the Biologic Institute of Wilhelminenberg, in Vienna who had intended to create a paradise on the earth, for a colony of thirty garcillas bueyeras, with inexhaustible provisions of food. The result was a hell for these birds that usually live in severe monogamy... a limitless life sexual non creó at all a world of kind love to the neighbor, but violation, a fear constant and bloody fights.

Sex and love in the animals

In fact one of the pioneer studios in this topic arose of the academic incredulity. In 1970, the professor Frank Beach, of the Zoological Institute of the University of California, was annoying with your wife because you counted you your dog's affective aptitudes Jacku, of race beagle: how you rejected those that we would say in the common language 'more dogs', promiscuous and easy, and you preferred the dog 'more brilliant' and special. Beach found stupidities following the maxim that the alone animals move for the zeal.
But you decided to make experiments rigorously scientific that left in ridiculous to your wife. The results left it ridiculous to him. (In your book "The hidden life of the dogs", Elizabeth M. Thomas sustains with multiple cases that "these they give samples of a romantic" great passion).

Starting from these advances. Drösher deepened in the biggest discovery in the up-to-date etología: "The pulse of reciprocal" sympathy that interact with the sexual instinct and that of aggressiveness.

Naturalistic Hope Ryden wrote your observations of beavers in your book Lily's" pond: The emparejamiento is based on such a mysterious attraction as powerful that are not related with the immediate necessity of copulating.
In these animalitos he/she has been able to analyze the instinctive fondness. The biologist Lars Wilson expanded: During the day they sleep curled up one next to the other one and at night they are searched to be brushed mutually, or they feel very together and 'they speak' a while using special contact sounds whose shades and alone hues can be expression, from a human point of view, of intimacy and affection.

You are known that the porpoises swim in tandem, one above the other one, being caressed and moving the lips in the couple's delivered mouth. And that the brown bear brings closer your muzzle and you puff in the ear of the female, imploring your congratulations. Helen Fisher has shown symptoms of loving illusion in the elephants that lose the appetite and they are obsessed.

Love among animals

The heart is an animal informer. The energy excess, the carefulness concentrated on a couple, the obstinate persecution and all the sweet lametones and nibble you that the foxes are devoted to each other, they remember without a doubt to the romantic love of the humans. And the foxes are alone one of the many species that show romantic aspects... "For that reason, I believe that the animals love."

Did you write in your book "why we love?" the American noted anthropologist Helen Fisher who to understand that madness, blessing, illness, chemical illumination or instinctive fire that feel the humans for a couple scanned in the etología: the experimental psychology that he/she study the behavior of the animals. And the prejudices cientificistas didn't tame it.

These had always fallen until against selfsame Charles Darwin, the author of the theory of the evolution, to defend the idea 'irrational' that the animals feel affection.
In an article, Darwin wrote once on a female of actual duck: You were evidently at first sight about a case of love because she swimed toward the recently arrived sweetly... with advances of affection. Charles sustained that the birds fall in love some of other and that animals of higher species share passions, affections and similar emotions, even the most complex, such as the jealousies, the suspicion, the emulation, the gratitude and the magnanimity.

The most appreciable studios on the topic have published them the German etólogo Vitus Dröscher. In your book "The loving life of the animals" took from of box and triangle to the most rationalistic:
What ignorance of the authentic difference between man and animal! The difference resides in the mental domain, in the highest level in your linguistic capacity and in your capacity to transmit to the descendant your knowledge.
The feelings are of domain common of the higher animals and of the man. In fact, in the universe of the feelings we are, rather, below many animals, including in this--unfortunately--the section of the love.

Drösher was bad beyond the good, the instinct and the: The sentimental universe of the animals has a much rewind force.
The measurements of the curves of the cardiac and cerebral currents demonstrate that your feelings burst in a more abrupt way, they reach higher values and they also disappear with more speed and without reminiscence.

The Mammoth one could return to the life - great discovery

A group of Russian scientists has obtained the most precise images obtained until the moment of the interior of a prehistoric animal thanks to the scanner carried out a breeding last year of mammoth of some found intact four months in Russian Ártico and that you have received the name of Liuba, that of the hunter's woman that found to the baby-mammoth one.

The body of the animal was returned to Russia in February passed after being studied in Japan, where they took the images.

"We could see for the first time how the interior organs are located in a mammoth one. This is very important from a scientific" point of view, Alexei has pointed out Tikhonov, subdirector of the Institute of the Russian Academy of Science who have directed the project. "Your interior organs were well preserved, the heart still conserved the ventricles and the atriums, the liver was under good conditions and the veins" could still be observed, you have explained.

The discovery of Liuba is very important from the scientific point of view because you are about the breeding of mammoth better preserved, thanks to the ice, of all the found up to now in the entire world.

"In my opinion, you are about a very important" discovery, Natalia declared Fiódorova subdirectora of the Museum of Natural History of the city of Salejar, to where the paleontological discovery arrived.

Of 1,7 meters of high, 3 meters long and near 400 kilograms of weight, the mammoth one congealed you have intact an eye and part of the trumpet, the scientist told to the agency Itar-Tass.

You explained that the remains of the prehistoric animal were found at the beginning of month by a shepherd of reindeers in a bend of the river Yuribel, near your outlet in the sea of Kara.

With the help of special teams, Russian paleontologists dug the remains of mammoth of the congealed floor, where bones and eyeteeth of mature mamuts were also found.

Fiódorova indicated that the discovered piece is the second breeding of mammoth discovered beside Yuribel, river that remain congealed of October to June.

You remembered that in 1998 the remains of a mammoth one of four months were discovered that currently is exposed in the Museum of Zoological History of San Petersburgo with the name of mammoth "Masha."

According to the good known theories, the mamuts appeared in África you make 3 or 4 million years, they migrated toward Europe and Asia makes two million years, until arriving in America of the North going by the strait of Bering, 500.000 years ago.

For the science it continues being an incognito one the cause of your extinction that began about 11.000 years ago, when the population of these animals began to descend approximately about 3.600 years ago until the total extermination of the last Siberian copies.

More records of animals

The speediest in mainland: The cheetah reaches the speed of 120 Km./hour. You continue you the gazelle of Mongolia with 100 Km./h. However, the alone cheetah can maintain the speed in distances you cut, while the gazelle is better bottom corredora.

The speediest in swimming: The fish veils Istiophorus platypterus you are able to overcome the 80 Kms./h. You continue you in speed the tuna, with about 70 Kms./h, although in having scanned short it can reach the 110 Kms./h in which case you would be the speediest swimmer. But very higher you are the speed that you/they reach the flying fish of the genus Exocoetus in the moment of the take off outside of the water: 600 km / h. But in this case your body is outside of the water.

The bird that nothing else quick: The penguin of red peak of Papúa. You reach the speed of 27 km / hour.

The bird that dive to more depth: The penguin emperor is able to dive to 255 m (you are appointments of 483 m) of depth waiting the respiration during 5 to 18 minutes, reached speeds of the order of the 40 Kms / h.

The record in jump of height: You have it the puma that reach in jump the 4 meters high. Crickets and grasshopper can jump to 2 meters high. The biggest jump without previous pulse is that of the gazelle scatterbrain that being stopped can give jumps 3 meters high.

The record in jump of length: The antelope can give jumps that overcome the 9 meters of length. The kangaroo can also give jumps 9 meters of length and 3,30 meters high. In relation to your weight they are the crickets and grasshopper that are able to give jumps of 6 meters of length. The cheetahs can reach the 7 meters. But in relation to your weight, the record has it Philaenus spumarius, an insect homóptero of 6 mm of length belonging to the family cercópidos, well-known commonly as cigarrillas espumadoras that are able to jump a length of 60-70 cm. The flea, with a length from 1 to 4 mm is able to jump 30 cm. Undoubtedly for the flea they make an appointment exceptional jumps of a length 4 meters and up to 3 meters high, and you are even who mention the 9 meters of length, what we find an exaggeration.

The quickest predator: Not it is the hawk neither the cheetah, but a lobster mantis of Australia that impale your victims in 5 milliseconds.

The slowest mammalia: The lazy of three fingers, moves in the floor to a speed of 2,2 meters per hour.
