Butterfly on Flower

Leave a comment

Butterflies are harmless insects commonly found in Grasslands. They spawn from Flowers and Evil Flowers and will slowly flutter around the map, often landing on other flowers when they come across them. At dusk they will return to a nearby flower to hide. Butterflies can be used to plant new Flowers by right-clicking them on the ground. Planting Flowers is useful for creating butterfly farms, or for providing Bees with Flowers to produce Honey faster. This is a very nice way to get a lot of flowers near your bee boxes so that bees don’t have to travel very far for flowers and make honey faster.

Following are beautiful wallpapers of butterfly on flower…..

Beautiful Horse Pictures

2 Comments

The Horse is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus, or the wild horse. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature into the large, single-toed animal of today. Horses and humans interact in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational pursuits, as well as in working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy. Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding and driving techniques developed, using many different styles of equipment and methods of control (wikipedia). Here are beautiful horse pictures for you all……….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following terminology is used to describe horses of various ages:

  • Foal: a horse of either sex less than one year old. A nursing foal is sometimes called a suckling and a foal that has been weaned is called a weanling.[12] Most domesticated foals are weaned at five to seven months of age, although foals can be weaned at four months with no adverse physical effects.
  • Yearling: a horse of either sex that is between one and two years old.
  • Colt: a male horse under the age of four. A common terminology error is to call any young horse a “colt”, when the term actually only refers to young male horses.
  • Filly: a female horse under the age of four.
  • Mare: a female horse four years old and older.
  • Stallion: a non-castrated male horse four years old and older.[18] The term “horse” is sometimes used colloquially to refer specifically to a stallion.
  • Gelding: a castrated male horse of any age.

Colorful Coral Reef

1 Comment

Coral reefs are underwater structures made from calcium carbonate secreted by corals. Coral reefs are colonies of tiny living animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups. The polyps are like tiny sea anemones, to which they are closely related. Unlike sea anemones, coral polyps secrete hard carbonate exoskeletons which support and protect their bodies. Reefs grow best in warm, shallow, clear, sunny and agitated waters (wikipedia). Here are colorful color reef images……

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Often called “rainforests of the sea”, coral reefs form some of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They occupy less than 0.1% of the world’s ocean surface, about half the area of France, yet they provide a home for 25% of all marine species, including fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans, echinoderms, sponges, tunicates and other cnidarians. Paradoxically, coral reefs flourish even though they are surrounded by ocean waters that provide few nutrients. They are most commonly found at shallow depths in tropical waters, but deep water and cold water corals also exist on smaller scales in other areas.

Cheetah – Fastest Land Animal

Leave a comment

Cheetah is included as mammal which lives on the savanna as well as dry terrain. You may find this animal if you visit Africa or even Asia. Acinonyx Jubatus is the other name for cheetah. The cheetah achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal—between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds. Let’s see the Cheetah pictures and facts below.

On the first aspect of the cheetah facts, let’s talk about the cheetah lung. The lung of the cheetah is so powerful. It can take the oxygen 150 times/ minute. The high level of oxygen is needed when cheetah runs.

Cheetah is a special animal which has particular drinking habit. There are three sources gained by cheetah when he wants to drink. He will take the drink from the blood of the prey, the water from the river or pool as well as from the moisture on the air by using the nostril.

Some of you probably think that cheetah will roar just like lion, but all of you are totally wrong. Cheetah doesn’t roar but it purrs. Such sound production is used to converse with others. The long tail of this family of cat is used to handle the speed.

The size of cheetah is various. On average, the length lies between 3.5 up to 4.5 feet. That measurement is without measuring the tail. The weight of the male cheetah is counted at 75 up to 150 pounds.

The next cheetah facts that you need to know lies from the prehistoric time. During the Egyptian era, Akbar raised many cheetahs as pets. The food that he got sometimes was from the captivated prisoner.

Cheetah is animal devoted to live in dry land. If you see the cubs of cheetah, you may view their grayed fur. When the cubs have grown up, such fur will fade away. The cheetah spot is available all over the body, but you will never see such spot located in the belly.

The female cheetah plays crucial role to breed. Unlike the human, who needs nine months to give birth, cheetah female needs longer time at least 2 years. This female cheetah can bread more than 3 cubs by mating with more than one male.

Let’s see the last aspect of the cheetah facts by talking about the cheetah senses. It is no doubt that the sense of the hearing and smelling of a cheetah is so high and powerful. Moreover, the eyes are so sharp that people like us will never be able to compare them.
