pel ' s flying squirrel is wholly nocturnal , spending the day in a hole in a tree and only emerging after dark . it feeds on bark , supplemented with fruits , flowers and leaves . it usually occurs in pairs , but as many as six individuals have been found sharing the same nesting site in a tree . if disturbed in its den , this squirrel snaps its teeth and hisses , and the sound may be amplified by the acoustics of the hollow tree . given its large size , bold colouration and aggressive behaviour , this species may be able to drive off potential predators such as birds of prey , small carnivores and primates , and compete successfully with hornbills for nest sites . the reproduction of this species is poorly known . in ghana , litters seem to occur twice a year , in april and september , with two or three young in each litter , occasionally four . a copulatory plug is present in the vagina during pregnancy and the young are fully furred and have their eyes open at birth . the young remain in the nest and both parents bring them food .

pel ' s flying squirrel is native to west africa where its range includes eastern liberia , southern ivory coast and southwestern ghana . it occurs in the tropical rainforest at low altitudes , particularly where there are tall , emergent trees and palms trees , in areas with annual precipitation in the range 1 , 400 to 3 , 900 millimetres ( 55 to 154 in ) . however , it appreciates separate trees that are not wreathed in lianas , because when it emerges from its den at night , it needs space to glide down to lower levels to feed .

this species feeds on the gorgonian coral plexaurella dichotoma . feeding on soft corals instead of hydroids is typical of the genus phyllodesmium but in phyllodesmium there are no functional cnidosacs , possibly because the cnidae of soft corals are not useful in defence of the nudibranchs . pauleo differs from phyllodesmium in having functional cnidosacs .

like other shipworms , teredora princesae has an elongated , wormlike body which is completely enclosed in a tunnel it has made in floating or submerged timber . at the front end of the animal are two calcareous valves , as found in other bivalve molluscs . these are white and sharp and have rough ridges that are used to rasp the timber and slowly elongate the burrow . food particles and oxygen are extracted by the gills from the water that has been sucked into the burrow . waste and reproductive cells are discharged through the opening at the back of the burrow . the life cycle is likely to be similar to other shipworms where the males release their gametes into the water and some of the sperm gets drawn into the burrows of females . the fertilised eggs are retained in the mothers ' gill chambers where they begin their development . later they are released into the sea as veliger larvae . these eat phytoplankton and drift with the currents . when they are ready to undergo metamorphosis they try to find suitable timber on which to settle . there they begin to bore into the wood and spend the rest of their lives as tunnellers .

the geometric tortoise is naturally restricted to the far south - western corner of the western cape province , south africa . it used to occur as far north as picketberg , as far south as gordons bay and eastwards into the breede river valley . the habitat type of geometric tortoise is known as the renosterveld , which is located at the extreme southwestern part of the western cape province of south africa . the renosterveld forms part of the fynbos biomes , a vegetation zone characterized by a mediterranean climate . there is a fusion of heathlands and shrublands with beginning and ending points hard to distinguish . shrublands can then be further broken down into strandveld , coastal renosterveld and intercoastal renosterveld . the geometric tortoise is able to have specific dietary preferences , adaptation to wet habitats and topographical factors to survival in the habitat . the distribution range of the geometric tortoise lies within a winter rainfall area , which has 350 – 600 mm annual precipitation . the agriculture utilization and urban development of the renosterveld are the major factors responsible for the massive decline on the number of tortoise . the destruction of renosterveld reduced the habitat of geometric tortoises to less than 3 % of its original size , which has only 4000 - 5000 hectares remaining . namely food , cover , nesting and the ability to move around in the habitat are four main biological factors , which are important for the survival of geometric tortoises in their habitat . geometric tortoises prefer low - lying and well - drained areas , which have a higher percentage of shrub cover and canopy cover at 50 cm above ground level . the last population in cape town died out in the tiny harmony flats reserve . the species was believed to be extinct in the 1960s , but a surviving population was discovered in 1972 and it now occurs in three isolated pockets where it is conserved . a population in the ceres valley , one in the tulbagh - worcester valley , and a group surviving on the coastal lowlands to the southwest . these colourful tortoises live only in lowland fynbos and renosterveld vegetation , meaning that their populations are easily isolated by mountains which they cannot cross .

they are said to hibernate in the months of june through september , or when their natural environment is not normal , or when in captivity . little is known about their reproductive behavior . when the female is ready to lay eggs , she digs a hole in the ground and covers it with grass or other vegetation . the geometric tortoise tends to feed during cooler parts of the morning and afternoon . they tend to be shy and seek shelter when they notice observers .

the geometric tortoise ' s diet consists mainly of the leaves , geophytes , flowers , and shoots of a wide range of indigenous fynbos and renosterveld plant and grass species . some of its more common food plants include crassula ciliata , oxalis species , local geophyte species , such as cyanella hyacinthoides , babiana angustifolia and lachenalia contaminata ; as well as a variety of grass species such as themeda triandra , briza maxima , cynodon dactylon , ehrharta calycina , pentaschistis curvifolia and eragrostis curvula . a failure to have the full range of these , and other specific local plant species , means that the geometric tortoise soon dies when taken out of its natural habitat or kept in captivity . the specific diet , together with climate , humidity and soil differences , are the principal reasons why the species does not survive for long outside of its habitat . it also means that the geometric tortoise is restricted to south - western cape alluvial fynbos and shale renosterveld vegetation types . the geometric tortoise consumes at least 14 plant species as food , which includes 64 % of aspalathus species , 60 % of oxalis species and 66 % of berkheya species occur in west coast renosterveld . since the distribution range of geometric tortoise lies within a winter rainfall area , the annual grasses , geophytes and other herbaceous taxa are important food items during winter . during the summer , the annual green component is reduced and therefore the perennial grass , shrub and succulent components would serve geometric tortoise as the major food resource . food sources tend to have a higher concentration of iron and had lower failure load and tensile strength than non - food plants . when eating the tortoise uses a grab and pull method that tends to be used more in larger herbivores . they take small bites that increase surface area to be exposed to enzymes making digestion easier .

despite the discovery of a large population in myanmar , the situation for this pitta remains precarious since it occupies a very small range in which its habitat of flat , low - lying forest , which is targeted for the development of oil - palm plantations , is already severely fragmented . a very rapid population reduction is anticipated to occur in the near future as a result of land clearance . for these reasons it is listed as endangered . birdlife international ( 2017 ) species factsheet : hydrornis gurneyi . downloaded from http : / / www . birdlife . org on 24 / 09 / 2017 . recommended citation for factsheets for more than one species : birdlife international ( 2017 ) iucn red list for birds . downloaded from http : / / www . birdlife . org on 24 / 09 / 2017 . © 2011 - 2017 qpq software ltd .

the male has a blue crown and black - and - yellow underparts ; the rest of the head is black , and it has warm brown upperparts . the female has a brown crown and buffy - whitish underparts .

the species is listed as endangered because it is suspected to have undergone a rapid population reduction in the past three generations, estimated to be > 30 % over 10 years or three generations, owing to a decline in the extent and quality of its habitat.

these hawks capture prey in a stealthy manner by flying through dense vegetation to ambush unsuspecting prey . they may also capture prey through aerial pursuit after inconspicuously sitting and watching their target . at times , the bicoloured hawk may hunt in pairs . most commonly , it feeds on smaller birds such as thrushes and small doves but has also been known to consume small mammals including bats and reptiles . several instances where the hawks attack groups of squirrel monkeys or tamarins have been witnessed . in addition , these hawks may follow groups of monkeys in order to feed on the insects that are exposed by the monkeys .

the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor with a long tail and broad wings. the adult has a dark brown back and crown, a white throat and breast, and a white belly with dark streaks. the juvenile is similar to the adult but has a brownish back and crown, a streaked breast, and a white belly with dark streaks. the bicolored hawk is found in open areas with scattered trees, such as savannas, pastures, and forest edges. it is found from southern mexico to central brazil. the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor with a long tail and broad wings. the adult has a dark brown back and crown, a white throat and breast, and a white belly with dark streaks. the juvenile is similar to the adult but has a brownish back and crown, a streaked breast, and a white belly with dark streaks. the bicolored hawk is found in open areas with scattered trees, such as savannas, pastures, and forest edges. it is found from southern mexico to central brazil.......................................................................................................................................

the bicolored hawk is a species in the genus accipiter and is included in the family accipitridae . three subspecies are currently recognized . the bicolored hawk is also closely related to the cooper ' s hawk ( a . cooperii ) and the gundlach ' s hawk ( a . gundlachi ) ; these three form a superspecies . until recently , the chilean hawk ( a . chilensis ) from the colder , southernmost south america was treated as a race of a . bicolor but due to its differences in habitat preferences and plumages from the bicolored hawk , a . chilensis is now considered a full species . four subspecies of a . bicolor are acknowledged . these are : a . b . bicolor , which is found in southeastern mexico and south through northern south america . adults have a black crown , slate upper parts and a blackish tail that displays two or three pale bars . the primaries are obscurely barred . a . b . fidens , which occurs in eastern and southern mexico . it is morphologically similar to a . b . bicolor , but is larger in size and darker in color . a . b . pileatus , living in brazil . adults are similar to a . b . bicolor , but are much paler and have a pearl - grey collar . under - wing coverts and thighs are rufous . a . b . guttifer ; located in south bolivia and northern argentina . the underparts of the adult are grey or extensively salmon rufous with large white spots and bars .

the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor of the new world tropics. it is a resident breeder from southern mexico to central argentina. it inhabits a wide range of forest and woodland habitats, including semi-open areas. it is a specialist feeder on large insects, especially grasshoppers, and also takes small vertebrates, including lizards, frogs, and small birds. it is a solitary hunter, usually perching on a prominent vantage point and scanning the ground for prey. it is a monogamous species, with both sexes participating in nest construction and incubation. the female lays 2–4 eggs, which hatch after 30–35 days. the young fledge after 40–45 days. the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor of the new world tropics. it is a resident breeder from southern mexico to central argentina. it inhabits a wide range of forest and woodland habitats, including semi-open areas. it is a specialist feeder on large insects, especially grasshoppers, and also takes small vertebrates, including lizards, frogs, and small birds. it is a solitary hunter, usually perching on a prominent vantage point and scanning the ground for prey. it is a monogamous species, with both sexes participating in nest construction and incubation. the female lays 2–4 eggs, which hatch after 30–35 days. the young fledge after 40–45 days. the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor of the new world tropics. it is a resident breeder from southern mexico to central argentina. it inhabits a wide range of forest and woodland habitats, including semi-open areas. it is a specialist feeder on large insects, especially grasshoppers, and also takes small vertebrates, including lizards, frogs, and small birds. it is a solitary hunter, usually perching on a prominent vantage point and scanning the ground for prey. it is a monogamous species, with both sexes participating in nest construction and incubation. the female lays 2–4 eggs, which hatch after 30–35 days. the young fledge after 40–45 days. the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized rapt

at 34 – 45 centimetres ( 13 – 18 in ) in length and 200 – 450 grams ( 7 . 1 – 15 . 9 oz ) in weight , it is significantly smaller than the northern goshawk of eurasia and north america , and somewhat smaller than the cooper ' s hawk of north america , but among the largest accipiter hawks in central and south america ( only the rare grey - bellied hawk is larger ) . as in other accipiter hawks , the female is far larger than the male . adults are grey above with darker wings and crown , and a banded tail . the underparts typically vary from dark grey to very pale grey , but the southern subspecies can sometimes be rufescent below . the thighs are always pure rufous ( not always easily seen ) , and the underwing coverts are white in the northern subspecies and rufous in the southern . juveniles are very variable . they can be white , buff or rufous below , and sometimes with dark streaks . their upperparts are browner than in adults , and the thighs are sometimes paler .

the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor with a long tail and broad wings. the adult has a dark brown back and crown, a white throat and belly, and a white band across the chest. the juvenile is similar to the adult but has a brownish back and a streaked chest. the bicolored hawk is found in open country and forest edges, often near water. it feeds on small birds, reptiles, and mammals. the bicolored hawk is found in central america, south america, and the west indies..................................................................................................................................................................................................

almost immediately a medium - sized hawk swooped over my head and into the grove of trees , causing even greater panic among the chachalacas . luckily , the hawk perched low and on my side of the trees for a moment or two and , as i had suspected from its behaviour and from previous encounters here in san antonio ( see my earlier posts ) it was a bicolored hawk ( accipiter bicolor ) , in this case a beautiful adult bird , fierce eye , dark above and grey below . on this occasion i could not see the rufous thighs . these are not visible on larry waddell ’ s photos of an individual at aquiares , which show otherwise excellent detail : in san antonio , this is the hawk to expect inside the tree canopy despite its guidebook status as rare . two species that are almost always at the two - bridges locality on quebrada la loca are the white - naped brush - finch ( atlapetes albinucha ) and the band - backed wren ( campylorhynchus zonatus ) ; they did not disappoint this day . those bicolored hawks are beautiful , always a pleasure to see . love the picture of that band backed ! you bring the beer , i ' ll bring the birds . ( birding from the slopes of the turrialba volcano , costa rica . ) on a quick afternoon stroll from home up the road to santa cruz to what i call the two bridges area i heard loud alarm calls coming from inside a small patch of trees . the hubbub was from several gray - headed chachalacas ( ortalis cinereiceps ) , a species that is hard to miss in our area . thanks for those great pics , larry . when are you coming home ? enter your comment here . . . you are commenting using your wordpress . com account .

bicolored hawks breed in forest areas , choosing to build nests on tree branches and occasionally hanging vines . the nest is built in cooperation between the male and female and is constructed from dried sticks and leaves . each breeding pair will normally build a new nest at the beginning of each breeding year . copulation occurs after breeding activities such as feeding and nest building have been completed . egg laying takes place approximately five weeks after copulation and the dull white eggs measure an average of 47 . 1 mm × 36 . 5 mm ; clutches average 1 – 3 eggs . the eggs are brooded for about three weeks by the female while the male forages for food . bicolored hawk chicks are categorized as semi - altricial ; the eyes are open at hatching but the chicks are not immediately mobile and are fed by the parents . the young fledge around 30 – 36 days after hatching and the fledgling period spans nearly seven weeks , during which the young will return to the nest frequently for food until they become independent .

the bicolored hawk is a medium-sized raptor with a long tail and broad wings. the adult has a dark brown back and crown, a white throat and breast, and a white belly with dark streaks. the juvenile is similar to the adult but has a brownish back and crown, a streaked throat and breast, and a streaked belly. the bicolored hawk is found in open country and forest edges, often near water. it feeds on small birds, reptiles, and mammals. the bicolored hawk is found in central america, south america, and the caribbean. it is common and widespread.........................................................................................................................................................................................

this isopod is very inactive , and most of its time is spent stationary , concealed in a crevice or under a stone on the seabed . it needs to feed very infrequently and when it does so it clings onto a host fish with its front three pairs of pleiopods . younger specimens choose thin skin close to the fins but older ones are indiscriminate in their site of attachment . it then plunges its mouthparts into the fish . it has strong muscles in its oesophagus and large salivary glands and rapidly fills its dilatable hind gut with blood . it then drops off the fish and spends several months on the seabed digesting the blood . in a research study , specimens of aega antarctica were kept in a marine aquarium at the university of oldenburg , germany , where they were maintained at a temperature of − 1 ° c ( 30 ° f ) . it was found that they would feed on a number of species of fish native to the north sea and in this research they were fed on live european plaice ( pleuronectes platessa ) . one fish was introduced to the isopods at intervals of a month and even so , they often voluntarily went for several months without feeding . even when deprived of food for ten months , some individuals still had traces of blood in their gut , visible through their translucent outer surface . growth was very slow and females did not mature until they were at least ten years old .

the tille trevally is distributed through the tropical and subtropical waters of the indian and west pacific oceans . in the western part of its range , the species distributed throughout south africa and madagascar waters north along the east african coast up to tanzania , with an apparent break in its range from tanzania to india . its range continues from india east to south east asia and the indonesian archipelago . the distribution extends south to northern australia , north to japan , and to fiji in the east . the tille trevally is typically an inshore species , preferentially inhabiting coastal coral and rocky reefs , as well as moving through sandy bays and lagoons . the species is known to move with the tide in the solomon islands , entering inner lagoon regions through tidal corridors as the tide rises , and exiting back to the outer reef as the tide falls . this is thought to be due to the fish following small prey fish into the lagoon , where these small species spawn . the species is also known to enter estuarine waters and the lower reaches of rivers . despite being more prevalent in inshore waters , the tille trevally has also been recorded in far offshore waters , living on seamounts in west mariana ridge of the pacific , where seamount peaks reach to 50 m from the surface . here it occurs with other normally inshore fishes , and is one of the top predators in this ecosystem .

these shining leaf beetles inhabit edges of forests, fields and gardens.;
