Types differ in color, used with the primary colors to black, black and brown, red, red and brown or black. The most common pattern in many types are black and white or tricolor (black and brown and white). Collies vary from Collie trainability "average" rough and smooth, maybe trainable of all breeds, the Border Collie. The Border Collie is the breed most need a job, while the rough collies, smooth and bearded lifestyleA fit better in the average working family member of a breed like the border collie is a dog full of energy and extremely agile with great stamina.


Dogs of collie type or derivation occupy four of the first sixteen degrees in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, the first border collie.

Collies compete in herding events. Collies herd instinct, which are essential can be trained to compete in herding trials.

The temperament of this breed is in literature, movies, TV shows and popular was described. Some breeds Collie (Rough and Smooth Collies in particular the collie) are affected by a genetic defect, a mutation in the MDR1 gene. Affected dogs show a cortisol concentration of lower than normal. The Association of the German Kennel Club (for the German Kennel Club) encourages breeding associations to test all cattle and prevent the breeding of affected dogs. Collies may have a genetic disease, dogs cyclic neutropenia, or gray collie syndrome.

Liger

 

The Life of Animals | Liger | Liger is the largest cat in the known world. Imprinted genes may be a factor that contributes to the great Liger. Other large hybrid cats can reach a similar size; litigon, a rare hybrid of a male lion and a female tiglon, about the same size as the liger, a male name Cubanacan (Alipore Zoo in India), reaching 363 kg (800 lbs) extreme rarity of these second-generation hybrids may make it difficult to determine if they are more or less, on average, than the Liger.


Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone, on average, an adult male lion, but azoospermia according to Haldane's rule. In addition, female ligers can achieve great size, weighing about 320 kilograms (705 pounds) and reached 3.05 m (10 ft) long, on average, and are often fertile. Shasta, ligress (female liger) was born Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, May 14, 1948 and died in 1972 at age 24. 1973 Guinness World Records said the 18-year-old, 798 kg (lb 1759) to male life liger zoo in Bloemfontein, South Africa, in 1888 (not exactly like the zoo was opened in 1920), (c 'is a request Liger was 756 kg. and the year was actually 1953).


Fertility of female big cat hybrids is well documented in a number of different hybrids. This is in agreement with Haldane's rule: in hybrids of animals, sex is determined by sex chromosomes, if there is no sex, rare or sterile, is the heterogametic sex (the one with two different sex chromosomes eg X and Y) . Ligers tigers have as an alternative model, which is very weak and the lion as a reddish-brown background. In addition, they may inherit rosettes from the lion parent (lion cubs rosette and some adults retain faint markings).


White tigers have been crossed with lions to produce "white" (actually pale golden) ligers. In theory white tigers could be overcome with white lions to produce white ligers very clear, and even stripeless. There are ligers blacks. Like a blue or Maltese Tiger is probably no longer exists, gray or blue ligers are extremely unlikely. Several AZA zoos are reported to have ligers

Indri

 

The Life of Animals | Indri | In collaboration with the diadem Sifaka, Indri lemur is the largest still in existence. The Clinger and Indri is a vertical leaper and thus holds its body upright on a journey through the trees or branches of peace. Unlike any living lemur, the Indri has only a rudimentary tail. The silky fur is mostly black with white spots on the limbs, neck, crown, and lower back. Different populations of the species show large differences in color, with some populations of North consisting mainly or exclusively of black people. The face is pale with a black bare skin, and is sometimes trimmed with white fur.


Because of these color variations, Colin Groves listed two subspecies of Indri in 2005: the Indri Indri, the black part of its northern and relatively pale Indri indri variegatus in the southern part. Later editions of lemurs in Madagascar by Russell Mitter Meier et al. not to recognize this division, and recent work suggests that morphological and genetic variation in the Indri is clinal. The Indri practices long-term monogamy, seeking a new partner after the death of a partner. It lives in small groups, composed of male and female offspring mated and mature. In more fragmented forests of their range, the Indri live in large groups with several generations.


The Indri is sleeping in trees about 10-30 meters above the ground and used to sleeping alone or in pairs. It is a game for young indri common, sometimes grown women, too quiet, struggling somewhere between a few seconds to 15 minutes. Indri reach sexual maturity between the ages of 7-9. Females carry indri every two to three years, with a gestation period of 120-150 days


The Indri reaches sexual maturity between seven and nine years is a relatively slow speed, the indri known for its strong, distinctive songs, which can last from 45 seconds to 3 minutes more, well known. Song length and structure varies between and within groups, but most songs have the following three phases reason.


It is customary to coordinate this for two or more Indri, the time to get the notes to form a duo. Several groups used to sing one after the indri, react with each other. In addition to strengthening the contacts between groups, the songs can communicate and limits of territorial defense, environmental conditions, the reproductive potential of the group members, and warning signs The Indri after disturbances such as lightning , airplanes, birds and other calls of lemurs can sing.


Daily frequency of the song is at its peak during the breeding season of the indri from December to March. Several other Indri sounds were identified. The Indri emit a warning "cry" or "honk" on terrestrial predators such as the pit. To strengthen their song, the Indri to move up the tree before calling, which allows them to hear about 3-4 km wide.An Indri caught him and carried him to safety. Most legends establish a closer relationship between the Indri and humans. This brother was the first man and the brother who had remained in the forest, the first Indri. The Indri cries in mourning for his lost brother An explanation of the Babakoto name, is that the calls of the Indri was a father to his prodigal son demanded similar. When the son has also disappeared, the rest of the villagers ventured into the forest looking for two but he discovered that two large lemurs sitting in the trees: the first Indri. It is easy to see why the Indri is so closely identified with the people. Her long legs, body position upright large, the lack of a prominent tail, vocalizations and complex systems of communication are all reminiscent of human traits. Another feature of the Indri-human, as is its behavior in the sun. As his parents Sifaka, the Indri frequently engaged in what was for sunbathing or sun worship described.

Leopard Gecko

 

The Life of Animals | Leopard Gecko | The native habitat of the leopard gecko is rocky, dry grassland and desert regions of South Asia from Afghanistan, Pakistan, northwest India and parts of Iran. Winter temperatures in these areas can be very low, below 10 ° C (50 ° F), making the animals in semi-underground hibernation, called hibernation, fat reserve. As nocturnal animals, they spend all day hidden under rocks or in burrows to escape heat of the day and emerge at dusk to feed themselves by hunting insects. In captivity, most people prefer to hunt food for themselves. Most leopard geckos in captivity will also refuse to dead prey to eat 


If food is scarce in the desert, they can count on their ability to store excess fat in their tails. Moreover, their keen sense of smell and sight of them for food in the wild to find, they will hunt his prey like a real leopard, move their tails, lettuce than when they are satisfied with leopard geckos are usually large for a gecko. Those in captivity tend to have the skin colors and patterns. The skin of a leopard gecko is very durable, which provides protection from sand and rough, rocky terrain of their dry environment. Like all reptiles, leopard geckos shed their skin. The gecko eats its old skin after peeling, revealing a lighter color. There are two theories about why leopard geckos do. The first is that in the wild leopard geckos eat their shedded skin, so there is no record of the leopard gecko was there.


Leopard geckos are ectothermic. Leopard Geckos openings on each side of their head and ears. A covers and protects the eardrum. Health leopard geckos have a thick, fleshy tail, while a thin tail is an indication that the gecko is not healthy and can do without food. Although, as in captivity, the tail can be fattened by feeding wax worms (larvae of the moth), these lines are generally too thick for the Gecko for the nutrition they need. Sexual dimorphism is defined as a phenotypic difference between men and women of the same species. There are males and adult females, but can be difficult to determine in young geckos. The underside of a gecko really determines the sex of the gecko. Males have pre-anal pores and bumps while females hemipenal pores less and have no external bulges.


Males can determine the sex of leopard geckos other by pheromones smell on the skin. The men are men with aggressive behavior as they demonstrate courtship behavior toward women. If Men behave the same way towards women, while shedding their skin. Before and after the shedding of the skin, men continue courtship behavior towards women to express. Research shows that more women can be produced at low temperatures (above about 26-30 ° C (79-86 ° F)) and very warm temperatures (about 34-35 ° C (93-95 ° F)). Women born in the higher temperatures differ from those born in temperatures under hormonal and behavioral.


Leopard gecko breeding pairs as a single or a group consisting of one male and several females. During playback, the male will shake his tail, which tells the female is ready to mate. It's The male continues biting the top of his head. Even if a "drop" or "detached" tail will grow back, the form must be regenerated slightly deformed and will probably look very different than the original. Regenerated tails are often smooth and short, with a bulb-like appearance. Drop tail is strongly discouraged. Leopard Geckos usually breed from January to August or September. Once the female is pregnant she will need lots of calcium for health and to ensure that the eggs well calcify.


Baby leopard geckos have an "egg tooth", a limestone peak at the end of his nose to help break their eggshell. Moreover, their skin will be paid within 24 hours after hatching, will usually.The leopard gecko babies unable to eat after the first effusion. Leopard Gecko is one of the most popular animals reptiles. Many morphs - changes in color or pattern, and sometimes differ in size - were high. Some of the morphs are three different strains of albino patternless, jungle hypomelanistic Blizard, mandarin, giants, and snow. Morphs albino patternless, hypomelanistic, and consist mainly of Blizard decrease or loss of dark spots. Giant is a great morph, the giants are considerably larger than normal leopard geckos. Snow morphs generally have a normal dark spots, but little or no yellow pigment.
