A taxonomic revision of the saki monkeys, Pithecia Desmarest, Alternatively known as a cougar, puma, or panther, the mountain lion is a solitary and reclusive carnivore and a member of the largest cat family in North America.
Its height at the shoulders is between 2 and 2. It weighs from to pounds 50 to This large cat feeds on deer, mice, squirrels, porcupines, raccoons, rabbits, mountain goats, elk and beavers. The mountain lion is territorial when mating, and females will often mate with more than one male. Females achieve sexual maturity at 2.
In the wild, they can live for 12 years and in captivity 25 years. A raccoon is a highly adapted omnivore native to North America.
It weighs from 4 to 23 pounds 1. It lives in forests, marshes, prairies and urban areas. In its natural habitat, it preys on aquatic fauna like crayfish and frogs, but it also eats mice, insects, eggs, fruits, berries, and corn, making it an opportunistic feeder.
In urban areas, raccoons vandalize garbage cans in search of easy food. During winter, they estivate sleep for extended periods instead of hibernating, and use fat stored in their tails to stay warm. A raccoon is fairly social, contrary to common beliefs, and they cluster together in nurseries. Female raccoons reach sexual maturity at 10 months and males in their second year. In the wild, they have an average lifespan of 2 to 3 years. The bald eagle has been the United States' national symbol since Its body length is A bald eagle's weight is between 6.
When mature, this bird has a white head and tail, a dark brown body and wings, and its legs and bill are bright yellow. A Bald eagle's choice habitat is near waterbodies, coasts, and lakes where fish are found in plenty, although it will eat small mammals as well. Alaska, Florida, Michigan, and California are places where bald eagles are seen with the most regularity in the United States, and they can also be seen in Canada.
This scavenging trait led Benjamin Franklin to argue against it being an American national symbol, himself preferring the turkey to serve in that same role. A bald eagle reaches sexual maturity at 4 to 5 years, just about the time they grow adult plumage. In the wild, it can live on average up to 28 years. A ban on the poisonous DDT pesticide in , which was found in fish the birds ate and weakened their eggshells, resulted in an explosion of bald eagle populations across the US, and as a result it is no longer an endangered bird today.
Migrating Canada geese. The jaguar is the largest species of big cat in North America. Bald eagles are no longer considered endangered because of environmental efforts like banning the toxic pesticide DDT.
James Karuga December 1 in Environment. Puma, Cougar, Or Mountain Lion? Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Unlike other classes of animals, female mammals produce milk to nourish their young. Almost all mammals give birth to live young except for the platypus and echidna, which lay eggs. Scientists have identified more than 5, mammal species on Earth, roughly one-fifth of which are known to be threatened or extinct. One of the most threatened order of mammals is the primate, which includes monkeys and apes.
The United States has more than mammal species. Of those mammals, nearly a quarter are listed on the U. A groundbreaking bipartisan bill aims to address the looming wildlife crisis before it's too late, while creating sorely needed jobs.
More than one-third of U. We're on the ground in seven regions across the country, collaborating with 52 state and territory affiliates to reverse the crisis and ensure wildlife thrive.
