Big Elder Deer Eating Fresh Grass In Field
Big Elder Deer Eating Fresh Grass In Field , Deer live in a variety of biomass, ranging from tundra to the tropical rain forest. While often associated with forests, many deer are ecotone species that live in transitional areas between forests and thickets (for cover) and prairie and savanna (open space).
The majority of large deer species inhabit temperate mixed deciduous forest, mountain mixed coniferous forest, tropical seasonal/dry forest, and savanna habitats around the world. Clearing open areas within forests to some extent may actually benefit deer populations by exposing the under story and allowing the types of grasses, weeds, and herbs to grow that deer like to eat.
Deer are widely distributed, with indigenous representatives in all continents except Antarctica and Australia, though Africa has only one native deer, the Barbary stag, a subspecies of red deer that is confined to the Atlas Mountains in the northwest of the continent.
However, fallow deer have been introduced to South Africa. Small species of brocket deer and pudús of Central and South America, and muntjacs of Asia generally occupy dense forests and are less often seen in open spaces, with the possible exception of the Indian muntjac.
There are also several species of deer that are highly specialized, and live almost exclusively in mountains, grasslands, swamps, and "wet" savannas, or riparian corridors surrounded by deserts. Some deer have a circumpolar distribution in both North America and Eurasia.
The highest concentration of large deer species in temperate North America lies in the Canadian Rocky Mountain and Columbia Mountain regions between Alberta and British Columbia where all five North American deer species (white-tailed deer, mule deer, caribou, elk, and moose) can be found.
This region has several clusters of national parks including Mount Revelstoke National Park, Glacier National Park (Canada), Yoho National Park, and Kootenay National Park on the British Columbia side, and Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, and Glacier National Park (U.S.) on the Alberta and Montana sides.
Mountain slope habitats vary from moist coniferous/mixed forested habitats to dry subalpine/pine forests with alpine meadows higher up. The foothills and river valleys between the mountain ranges provide a mosaic of cropland and deciduous parkland.
The rare woodland caribou have the most restricted range living at higher altitudes in the subalpine meadows and alpine tundra areas of some of the mountain ranges. Elk and mule deer both migrate between the alpine meadows and lower coniferous forests and tend to be most common in this region.
Elk also inhabit river valley bottom lands, which they share with White-tailed deer. The White-tailed deer have recently expanded their range within the foothills and river valley bottoms of the Canadian Rockies owing to conversion of land to cropland and the clearing of coniferous forests allowing more deciduous vegetation to grow up the mountain slopes.
They also live in the aspen parkland north of Calgary and Edmonton, where they share habitat with the moose. The adjacent Great Plains grassland habitats are left to herds of elk, American bison, and pronghorn antelope.

Clown Koi fishes Dive Near Coral Reefs
Koi are an ornamental species of fish that descend from the carp. In the 1600s, Chinese farmed carp in rice paddies, a practice that traveled to Japan, where the Japanese noticed odd color variations in some of the carp and bred them, creating the koi species.
Koi used to only be found in red, white, black and blue, but have since been bred in different combinations of all the colors in the rainbow.
The very first koi were bred almost exclusively in Japan. The Japanese bred koi fish for perfection, and some species were even prized in the collections of royal families and immortalized in royal artworks. It wasn’t until the 1900s that koi began to be bred parts of Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
These days, koi are still one of the most popular and beloved types of fish in the world and are widely available no matter where you live. Pet koi typically come from commercial farms in Europe, Asia and the United States and are readily available at most pet stores. There are also specialized koi breeders and farms that you can buy koi from.
Depending on the color koi you’re looking for, you can expect to pay anywhere between five dollars and fifteen dollars for a single koi from a pet store. Pricing from breeders can vary depending on the size, color and type of koi you’re looking to buy.
Koi fish are quite large and, with proper care, can grow to be between two and three feet in length. The Chagoi variety of koi get even larger – up to four feet long in some cases.
Young koi can be kept in large indoor aquariums but need to be transferred to a large pond as they grow. They are a heavy-bodied fish with an average weight of around 35 pounds. Because they’re such a large fish, koi ponds need to be large. A good rule of thumb is that a pond should contain 500 to 1,000 gallons of water for each adult koi it houses.
In order to thrive, Koi require high-quality, clean water in their ponds (which can be achieved using a filtration system designed for outdoor koi pond use). When properly raised and cared for, a koi fish can live up to 20 years, sometimes longer.
Koi are docile, social fish that enjoy living in pairs or groups. When considering whether or not to add a new fish to an existing habitat, always make sure that their environmental and nutritional requirements are the same as the current fish, and, in the case of adding a koi fish to an existing pond, make sure that the size of your pond is large enough to support a full-grown koi.
Koi are truly friendly and will not eat other fish or fight with each other. If you are mixing species, make sure the same can be said for the other types of fish in your pond before adding koi. Not only are koi friendly to other fish, but they may also come up to the surface to say hello when they see their owner or when it’s time to eat.
Some koi even like to be pet and will come to the surface for a little pat on the head.
