Province o Huelva

**Huelva** () is a province o soothern Spain, in the wastren pairt o the autonomous commonty o Andalusie. It is bordered bi Portugal, the provinces o Badajoz, Seville, an Cádiz, an the Atlantic Ocean. Its caipital is Huelva.

Its aurie is 10,148 km². Its population is 483,792 (2005), o whom aboot 30% live in the caipital, an its population densitie is 47.67/km². It contains 79 municipalities.

The economie is based on agricultur an minin. The famous Rio Tinto mines hae been wirkit syne afore 1000 BC, an wur the major source o copper for the Roman Empire. As an indication o the scope o auncient minin, saxteen million tons o Roman slag hae been identifee'd at the Roman mines.

The province contains Palos de la Frontera, an Moguer, whaur Christopher Columbus sailed oot o on his first voyage in 1492, an shares the Parque Nacional de Doñana.

## Tourism
The delayed tourist development o the province haes alloued better ceety plannin than in ither regions on the Spainyie coast. The nuclei o Islantilla an Isla Canela are an example o this attempt tae plan in a mair coherent form. Awtho in a smawer scale in comparison tae ither regions, urban pressure continues. Previous developments that haed little plannin till recent time are El Rompido, El Portil, Mazagón an Matalascañas (Torre de la Higuera). 

Awtho Punta Umbría haed its beginnins like pedanía de Cartaya, efter the democratization o simmer tourism, it began its urban development for its proximity tae the caipital an its location on the beach. Present development wad no endure athoot tourist activity an its vacation hoosin. Ither tourist auries are Nuevo Umbría, Nuevo Portil, Punta del Moral, La Antilla an Urbasur. 

O note is Huelva‘s recent classification o “landwart tourism” for its interior muntain range.

Chordate

**Chordates**, members o the phylum **Chordata**, are deuterostome ainimals possessin a notochord, a hollae dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, an endostyle, an a post-anal tail for at least some period o thair life cycles.  Taxonomically, the phylum includes the subphyla Vertebrata, includin mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds; Tunicata, includin salps an sea squirts; an Cephalochordata, comprisin the lancelets. For a recent concise review o chordate relationships, see Holland, N. D. 2005, Chordates. Curr. Biol. 15: R911-R914.

The phylum Hemichordata includin the acorn worms haes been presented as a fowert chordate subphylum, but it nou is uisually treatit as a separate phylum.  It, alang wi the echinoderm phylum, includin starnfish, sea urchins, an sea cucumbers an thair kin, is the chordates' closest relatives.  Primitive chordates are kent frae at least as early as the Cambrian explosion.

Thare mair nor 75,000 livin species o chordates, aboot hauf o whilk is banie fish o the class osteichthyes. The warld's lairgest ainimal, the blue whaul, an festest ainimal, the peregrine falcon, are chordates.

Reid panda

The **reid panda** (*Ailurus fulgens*), cried the *lesser panda* an *reid cat-bear* forby, is a smaw mammal hamelt in the eastren Himalayas an sooth-wast Cheenae that haes been classified as an ''Endangered'' bi IUCN as its wild population is estimatit at less nor 10,000 mature individuals. The population continues tae decline an is threatened bi habitat loss an fragmentation, poachin, an inbreedin depression, altho reid pandas are protectit bi naitional laws in thair range kintras.

The reid panda is slichtly lairger than a domestic cat. It has reiddish-broun fur, a lang, shaggy tail, an a waddlin gait due tae its shorter front legs. It is arboreal an feeds mainly on bamboo, but is omnivorous an is kent tae eats eggs, birds, inssects, an smaw mammals. It is a solitary ainimal, mainly active frae dusk tae dawn, an is lairgely sedentary durin the day.

The reid panda is the anely livin species o the genus *Ailurus* an the faimily Ailuridae. It haes been previously placed in the raccoon an beir faimilies, but results o phylogenetic research indicate strang support for its taxonomic classification in its awn faimily Ailuridae, which alang wi the weasel faimily is pairt o the superfaimily Musteloidea. Traditionally it wis thoucht to hae twa subspecies. Houiver , genetic analysis indicates that thare are likly twa reid panda species, the Chinese reid panda and the Himalayan reid panda, that genetically diverged . A 1995 mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed that the red panda has close affinities with procyonids.

Ithers, sic as raccoons an beirs, dependin on the local habitat, are mair omnivorous; the giant panda is almaist exclusively a herbivore, but will tak fish, eggs an insects, while the polar beir's hersh habitat forces it tae subsist mainly on prey. Carnivorans hae teeth, claws, an binocular vision adaptit for catchin an eatin ither ainimals. Mony hunt in packs an are social ainimals, givin them an advantage ower mair muckle prey.

Vertebrate

**Vertebrates** (/ˈvɛrtɘbrets/) is ainimals that is members o the subphylum **Vertebrata**  (chordates wi rigbanes). Vertebrates include the owerwhelmin majority o the phylum Chordata, wi aboot 64,000 species descreivit the nou. Vertebrates include the jawless fish, bane fish, sharks an rays, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, an birds. Extant vertebrates range in size frae the frog species *[[Paedophryne amauensis]]*, at as wee as 7.7&nbsp;mm (0.3&nbsp;inch), tae the blue whaul, at up tae 33&nbsp;m (110&nbsp;ft). Vertebrates mak up aboot 4% o aw descreivit ainimal species; the rest is invertebrates, that lack rigbanes.

The vertebrates tradeetionally include the hagfish, that dinnae hae proper vertebrae, tho thair closest livin relatives, the lampreys, dae hae vertebrae. Hagfish dae, houiver, possess a cranium. For this raison, the vertebrate subphylum is whiles referred tae as "Craniata" whan discussin morphologie. Molecular analysis syne 1992 haes suggestit that the hagfish is maist closely relatit tae lampreys, an sae vertebrates is in a monophyletic sense. Ithers consider them a sister group o vertebrates in the common taxon o Craniata.

Juglans regia

***Juglans regia***, the **Persie wawnit**, **Inglis wawnit**, enspecially in Great Breetain, **common wawnit**, or enspecially in the US, **Californie wawnit**, is an Auld Warld wawnit tree species native tae the region streikin frae the Balkans eastwart tae the Himalayas an soothwast Cheenae. The lairgest wids is in Kyrgyzstan, whaur trees occur in extensive, near pure wawnit wids at 1,000–2,000 m altitude (Hemery 1998)—notably at Arslanbob in Jalal-Abad Province.

## Description
*Juglans regia* is a lairge, deciduous tree attainin hichts o 25–35 m, an a trunk up tae 2 m diameter, commonly wi a short trunk an broad croun, tho tawer an narraer in dense wid competeetion. It is a licht-demandin species, requirin fou sun tae grow well.

The bark is smuith, olive-broun whan young an sillery-grey on aulder branches, an featurs scattered broad fissures wi a rougher textur. Lik aw wawnits, the pith o the twigs contains air spaces; this chambered pith is brounish in colour. The leaves are alternately arranged, 25–40&nbsp;cm lang, odd-pinnate wi 5–9 leaflets, paired alternately wi ane terminal leaflet. The lairgest leaflets is the three at the apex, 10–18&nbsp;cm lang an 6–8&nbsp;cm broad; the basal pair o leaflets is a fair feck smawer, 5–8&nbsp;cm lang, wi the margins o the leaflets entire. The male flouers is in droopin catkins 5–10&nbsp;cm lang, an the female flouers are terminal, in clusters o twa tae five, ripenin in the hairst intae a fruit wi a green, semifleshy husk an a broun, corrugatit nit. The hale fruit, includin the husk, faws in hairst; the seed is lairge, wi a relatively thin shell, an edible, wi a rich flavour.

Fagales

The **Fagales** is an order o flouerin plants, includin some o the baist kent trees.  The order name is derived frae genus *Fagus*, beeches.  Thay belang amang the rosid group o dicotyledons. The faimilies an genera currently includit are as follaes:

*Betulaceae - birk faimily (*Betula*, *Alnus*, *Carpinus*, *Corylus*, *Ostrya*, *Ostryopsis*)
*Casuarinaceae - she-aik faimily (*Casuarina*, *Gymnostoma*, *Ceuthostoma*, *Allocasuarina*)
*Fagaceae - beech faimily (*[[Beech|Fagus]]*, *[[Quercus]]*, *Castanea*, *Castanopsis*, *Chrysolepis*, *Formanodendron*, *Lithocarpus*, *Trigonobalanus*, *Colombobalanus*)
*Juglandaceae - wawnit faimily (*Juglans*, *Pterocarya*, *Carya*, *Cyclocarya*, *Alfaroa*, *Engelhardia*, *Oreomunnea*, *Platycarya*, *Rhoiptelea*)
*Myricaceae - bayberry faimily (*Myrica*, *Canacomyrica*, *Comptonia*)
*Nothofagaceae - soothren beech faimily (*Nothofagus* - subgenera *Fuscospora*, *Brassospora* an *Lophozonia*)
*Ticodendraceae - ticodendron faimily (*Ticodendron*)

The aulder Cronquist seestem anly includit fower faimilies (Betulaceae, Corylaceae, Fagaceae, Ticodendraceae; Corylaceae nou bein includit within Betulaceae); this arrangement is follaeed bi, for insaumple, the Warld checklist o selectit plant faimilies (see freemit airtin belaw). The ither faimilies wur split intae three different orders, placed amang the Hamamelidae.  The Casuarinales comprised the single faimily Casuarinaceae, the Juglandales comprised the Juglandaceae an Rhoipteleaceae, an the Myricales comprised the remainin fairms (plus *Balanops*).  The chynge is due tae studies suggestin the Myricales, sae defined, are paraphyletic tae the ither twa groups.

Ericales

The **Ericales** are a lairge an diverse order o dicotyledons, includin for example tea, persimmon, blueberry, Brazil nit, an azalea. The order includes trees an bushes, lianas an herbaceous plants. Thegither wi ordinary autophytic plants, the Ericales include chlorophyll-deficient myco-heterotrophic plants (e. g. *[[Sarcodes sanguinea]]*) an carnivorous plants (e. g. genus *[[Sarracenia]]*).

Mony species hae five petals, eften grown thegither. Fusion o the petals is a trait that wis tradeetionally uised tae place the order in the subclass Sympetalae. 

Mycorrhiza is an interestin property, frequently associatit wi the Ericales. Indeed, the symbiosis wi ruit fungi is quite common amang the order representatives, an thare are even three kinds o it which can be foond exclusively amang Ericales (namely, ericoid, arbutoid an monotropoid mycorrhiza). In addeetion, some faimilies amang the order are notable for thair exceptional abeelity tae accumulate aluminum (Jansen et al., 2004).

Ericales are a cosmopolitic order. Auries o distribution o faimilies vary lairgely - while some are restrictit tae tropics, ithers exist mainly in Arctic or temperate regions. The entire order contains ower 8000 species, o which the Ericaceae accoont for 2000-4000 species (bi various estimates).

The economic importance o Geraniales is law. Some species o the genus *Pelargonium* are cultivatit for their aromatic ile uised in the perfume industry. Some ither species, an aa maistly Geraniaceae, hae horticultural or medicinal uises.

Paleobotanic record is missin.

## Classification
The faimily circumscription o the APG III seestem classification is typical o newer arrangements. In this defineetion, Hypseocharitaceae is includit within Geraniaceae, Francoaceae an Greyiaceae are includit within Melianthaceae, an Ledocarpaceae is includit within the Vivianiaceae.

Unner the Cronquist seestem, the Geraniales haed a different composeetion, comprisin the follaein faimilies:

* Faimily Geraniaceae
* Faimily Oxalidaceae
* Faimily Limnanthaceae
* Faimily Tropaeolaceae
* Faimily Balsaminaceae

The Vivianiaceae an Ledocarpaceae wur included within the Geraniaceae, an the Hypseocharitaceae within the Oxalidaceae, which are nou treatit in the order Oxalidales. The Melianthaceae wur placed within the Sapindales, the Greyiaceae an Francoaceae within the Rosales, the latter subsumed within the Saxifragaceae.

* Curtisiaceae (cape lancewood)
* Grubbiaceae (the sillyberry faimily)
* Hydrangeaceae (the hydrangea faimily)

Juglandaceae

**Juglandaceae**, forby kent as the wawnit faimily, is a faimily o trees, or whiles shrubs, in the order Fagales.  Various members o this faimily is native tae the Americas, Eurasie, an Sootheast Asie.
Members o the walnut faimily hae lairge, aromatic leafs that is uisually alternate, but opposite in *[[Alfaroa]]* an *[[Oreomunnia]]*.  The leafs is pinnately compound, or ternate, an uisually 20–100&nbsp;cm lsng.

The trees is wind-pollinated, an the flouers is uisually arranged in catkins. 

The aicht genera in the faimily include the commercially important nit-producin trees wawnit (*Juglans*), pecan (*Carya illinoinensis*), an hickory (*Carya*).  The Persie wawnit, *[[Juglans regia]]*, is ane o the major nit craps o the warld.  Wawnit, hickory, an gaulin is valuable timber trees an aa.

## Seestematics
The kent livin genera are grooped intae subfaimilies, tribes, an subtribes as follaes:

Apiales

The **Apiales** are an order o flouerin plants. The faimilies, gien at richt, are those recognized in the APG III seestem. This is typical o the newer classifications, tho thare is some slicht variation, an in particular the Torriceliaceae mey be dividit.

Unner this definition, well-kent members include carrots, celery, persel, an ivy.

The order Apiales is placed within the asterid group o eudicots as circumscribed bi the APG III seestem. Within the asterids, Apiales belangs tae an unranked group cried the campanulids, an within the campanulids, it belangs tae a clade kent in phylogenetic nomenclature as Apiidae. In 2010, a subclade o Apiidae named Dipsapiidae wis defined tae consist o the three orders: Apiales, Paracryphiales, an Dipsacales.

The circumscriptions o some o the faimilies hae chynged. In 2009, ane o the subfaimilies o Araliaceae wis shawn tae be polyphyletic.

## History
The present unnerstandin o the Apiales is fairly recent an is based upon comparison o DNA sequences bi phylogenetic methods.

Unner the Cronquist seestem, anly the Apiaceae an Araliaceae wur includit here, an the restrictit order wis placed amang the rosids rather than the asterids. The Pittosporaceae wur placed within the Rosales, an mony o the ither forms within the faimily Cornaceae. Pennantia wis in the faimily Icacinaceae.

Ocelot

The **ocelot** (; *Leopardus pardalis*), kent as the **dwarf leopard** an aa, is a wild cat distributit extensively ower Sooth Americae includin the islands o Trinidad an Margarita, Central Americae, an Mexico. It haes been reportit as far north as Texas.  North o Mexico, it is foond regularly anly in the extreme soothren pairt o Texas, altho thare are rare sichtins in soothren Arizona.

The ocelot is similar in appearance tae a domestic cat. Its fur resembles that o a cloodit leopard or jaguar an wis ance regardit as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds o thoosands o ocelots wur ance killed for thair fur. The feline wis classified a "vulnerable" endangered species frae 1972 till 1996, an is nou ratit "least concern" bi the 2008 IUCN Reid Leet.

Actinopterygii

The **Actinopterygii** , or **ray-luggit fish**, constitute a class or subclass o the bany fish.

The ray-luggit fish is sae cried acause thay hae lepidotrichia or "lug rays", thair lugs bein skin wabs uphaudit bi bany or horny pikes ("rays"). This is contrar tae the pluffie, lappit lugs that characterises the class Sarcopterygii whilk, housomeiver, haes lepidotrichia an aa. Thir actinopterygian lug rays steiks directly ontae the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, whilk represents the link or connection atween thir lugs an the internal skelet (e.g., pelvic an pectoral girdles).

In numerical terms, actinopterygians is the dominant vertebrate class, comprisin naur 99% o the ower 30,000 fish species (Davis, Brian 2010). Thay are ubiquitous ootthrou freshwatter an marine environments frae the deep sea til the heichest muntain burns. Extant species can range in size frae *[[Paedocypris]]*, at , tae the massive ocean sunfish, at , an the lang-bodied oarfish, at .

The rock hyrax *Procavia capensis*, the yellae-spottit rock hyrax *Heterohyrax brucei*, the wastren tree hyrax *Dendrohyrax dorsalis*, an the soothren tree hyrax, *Dendrohyrax arboreus* live in Africae an the Middle East.

Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund creatures wi short tails. Maist measur atween 30 an 70&nbsp;cm lang an weigh atween 2 an 5&nbsp;kg. Thay are eften mistaken for rodents, but in actuality are mair closely relatit tae elephants.
Ostrich

The **Ostrich** or **Common Ostrich** (*Struthio camelus*) is aither ane or twa species o muckle flightless birds native tae Africa, the anly livin member(s) o the genus ***[[Struthio]]***, which is in the ratite family. Some analyses indicate that the Somali Ostrich may be better considered a full species separate frae the Common Ostrich, but maist taxonomists consider it to be a subspecies.

The ostrich shares the order Struthioniformes wi the kiwis, emus, rheas, an cassowaries. It is distinctive in its appearance, wi a lang neck an legs, an can run at up tae aboot \ land speed o ony bird. The ostrich is the lairgest livin species o bird an lays the lairgest eggs o ony livin bird (extinct elephant birds o Madagascar an the giant moa o New Zealand laid lairger eggs).

The ostrich's diet consists mainly o plant matter, tho it an aa eats invertebrates. It lifes in nomadic groups o 5 tae 50 birds. When threatened, the ostrich will aither hide itself bi lying flat against the grund, or run away. If cornered, it can attack wi a kick o its pouerful legs. Matin patterns differ bi geographical region, but territorial males ficht for a harem o twa tae seiven females.

The ostrich is fairmed aroond the warld, parteecularly for its feathers, which are decorative an are an aa uised as feather dusters. Its skin is uised for laither products an its meat is mercatit commercially.
