The Graceful Dolphins
Dolphins are small-toothed cetaceans easily recognizable by their curved mouths, which give them a permanent “smile.” There are 36 dolphin species, found in every ocean.Most dolphins are marineand live in the ocean or brackish waters along coastlines. There are a few species, however, like the South Asian river dolphin and the Amazon river dolphin, orboto, that live in freshwater streams and rivers.
The largest dolphin, theorca, can grow to be over 30 feet long. The smallest, the Maui dolphin, is just five feet long.
Dolphins feed chiefly on fish and squid, which they track using echolocation, a built-in sonar that bounces sound waves off prey and reveals information like its location, size, and shape. An echolocatingbottlenose dolphincan make up to a thousand clicking noises per second.
Behavior and reproduction
Living in pods that can number a dozen or more, dolphins are intenselysocial mammals that communicate with squeaks, whistles, and clicks. Whether dolphins have language, as humans do,is a topic that scientists have debated for decades.

Charming Bushy Tail Squirrel
From chipmunks, to groundsquirrelsand prairie dogs, mostsquirrelsshare some traits. Many of these animals have thick fur coats of various lengths, and bushy tails. They typically have longer rear legs than front legs, and sturdy claws. Many species are adapted for climbing.
Squirrelsare members of thefamilySciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-sizerodents. The squirrel family includestree squirrels,ground squirrels,chipmunks,marmots(includinggroundhogs),flying squirrels, andprairie dogsamongst other rodents. Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and wereintroducedby humans to Australia.[1]The earliest known fossilized squirrels date from theEoceneepoch, and among other living rodent families, the squirrels are most closely related to themountain beaverand to thedormice.

Most Cutest Rabbits ever
Rabbits are small, furry mammals with long ears, short fluffy tails, and strong, large hind legs. They have 2 pairs of sharp incisors (front teeth), one pair on top and one pair on the bottom. They also have 2 peg teeth behind the top incisors. Their teeth are specifically adapted for gnawing and grow continuously throughout their lives. Using their powerful hind legs, rabbits move by hopping. They have 4 toes on their hind feet that are long and webbed to keep them from spreading apart as they jump. Their front paws have 5 toes each. Some species of rabbit can reach speeds of 35 to 45 miles per hour (56 to 72 kilometers per hour). Young rabbits seem to walk instead of hop.
Rabbits vary in color and size, ranging in weight from 2 to 16 pounds (1 to 7 kilograms), depending on breed. Pet rabbits that have been well taken care of and spayed or neutered early in life have a life expectancy of 8 to 12 years.

Swans Romantically Entangled
Swansarebirdsof thefamilyAnatidaewithin the genusCygnus.[3]The swans' closest relatives include thegeeseandducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in thesubfamilyAnserinaewhere they form thetribeCygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily,Cygninae. There are six living and manyextinctspecies of swan; in addition, there is a species known as thecoscoroba swanwhich is no longer considered one of thetrue swans. Swans usuallymate for life, although "divorce" sometimes occurs, particularly following nesting failure, and if a mate dies, the remaining swan will take up with another.

Robin Bird in the Forest
TheAmerican robin(Turdus migratorius) is amigratorysongbirdof thetrue thrushgenus and Turdidae, the widerthrushfamily. It is named after theEuropean robin[2]because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to theOld World flycatcherfamily. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to centralMexicoand along thePacificCoast. It is thestate birdofConnecticut,Michigan, andWisconsin. According to the Partners in Fight database (2019), the American robin is the most abundant bird inNorth America(with 370,000,000 individuals), ahead ofred-winged blackbirds, introducedEuropean starlings,mourning dovesandhouse finches.[4]It has seven subspecies, but only one of them, the San Lucas robin (T. m. confinis) ofBaja California Sur, is particularly distinctive, with pale gray-brown underparts.
The American robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists ofinvertebrates(such asbeetlegrubs,earthworms, andcaterpillars), fruits, andberries. It is one of the earliest bird species to lay its eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. The robin's nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the earliest birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
The adult robin's main predators arehawks, domesticcats, andsnakes. When feeding in flocks, it can be vigilant, watching other birds for reactions topredators.Brown-headed cowbirds(Molothrus ater) lay their eggs in robin nests (seebrood parasite), but the robins usually reject the egg.

Black vultures harassing turtles From Entering The Sea
Vultures attack turtles and manage to severely injured one turtle,the olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea).
Black Vultures eat mostly carrion but will also eat the eggs of birds, turtles, and lizards. They may even go after and kill young birds or turtles.
The American Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) does not only look evil; it is evil to the core. Horrid.
they even attack adult female turtles came to the beach to lay eggs.
When sea turtles hatch, they're vulnerable as they make their way to the sea. Birds and other predators know it, and have no trouble picking up a quick meal.

A Wide Range of Animals
Wildlifetraditionally refers to undomesticatedanimalspecies, but has come to include allorganismsthat grow or live wild in an area without beingintroducedbyhumans.[1]Wildlife can be found in allecosystems.Deserts,forests,rainforests,plains,grasslands, and other areas, including the most developedurban areas, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term inpopular cultureusually refers to animals that are untouched byhuman factors, most scientists agree that much wildlife is affected byhuman activities
Humans have historically tended to separatecivilizationfrom wildlife in a number of ways, including the legal, social, and moral senses. Some animals, however, have adapted tosuburban environments. This includessuch animalsas domesticated cats, dogs, mice, and rats. Some religions declare certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times, concern for thenatural environmenthas provokedactiviststo protest against theexploitationof wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.
Global wildlife populations have decreased by 68% since 1970 as a result of human activity, particularlyoverconsumption,population growthandintensive farming, according to a 2020World Wildlife Fund'sLiving Planet Reportand itsLiving Planet Indexmeasure, which is further evidence that humans have unleashed asixth mass extinctionevent.[3][4]According toCITES, it has been estimated that annually the international wildlife trade amounts to billions of dollars and it affects hundreds of millions of animal and plant specimen.

Orchid Mantis Catching Prey
These mantids are strongly sexually dysmorphic, with males only reaching 3 cm (1.18") in length, while females grow up to 6 cm (2.36") long.
The males also have much shorter lifespans and are faster growing than females, which makes breeding especially difficult. To compensate for this difference males are usually kept at lower temperatures and get less food than females, slowing their development and increasing their lifespan.
Mantises are an order of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 30 families. The largest family is the Mantidae. Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks.
There is a difference between Mantis and Mantids Although many refer to a member of this group as a 'praying mantis,' mantis refers to the genus Mantis. Only some praying mantids belong to the genus Mantis. Mantid refers to the entire group. Mantids are very efficient and deadly predators that capture and eat a wide variety of insects and other small prey.

When looking at a sunrise or even a sunset, there is something magical about watching the sun as it begins to rise or watching it disappear from your very eyes.

Why Does Rice be Sowed in Wet Areas?
With the exception of the type called upland rice, the plant is grown on submerged land in the coastal plains, tidal deltas, and river basins of tropical, semitropical, and temperate regions. The seeds are sown in prepared beds, and when the seedlings are 25 to 50 days old, they are transplanted to a field, or paddy, that has been enclosed by levees and submerged under 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) of water, remaining submerged during the growing season. In hilly areas rice farms are commonly terraced to keep the paddies flooded at various elevations. Successful rice production depends on adequate irrigation, including construction of dams and waterwheels, and on the quality of the soil. Long periods of sunshine are essential. Rice yields vary considerably, ranging from 700 to 4,000 kilograms per hectare (600 to 3,500 pounds per acre). Adequate irrigation, which means inundation of the fields to a depth of several inches during the greater part of the growing season, is a basic requirement for productive land use.
In Asia the paddy is cultivated in three main types of soil, including clays with a firm bottom within a few inches of the surface; silts and soft clays with soft bottoms becoming hard on drying; and peats and “mucks” containing peat, provided the depth of the peat is not excessive. Fields must be drained and dried before harvesting. When combine harvesters or binder threshers are employed, the grain must be dried to about 14 percent moisture so that no deterioration takes place in storage. When reaper binders are used, the crop is “shocked” in certain ways so that the grain is protected from rain.
