rainbow parrot fish

rainbow parrot fish !!It is found in Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Egypt French Guiana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica. The rainbow parrotfish (Scarus guacamaia) is a species of fish in the Scaridae family. The rainbow parrotfish can be fouas and provide food-rich and predator free safe-havens for the growing young. coral reef habitat is connected to mangrove nursery habitat, removal of the mangroves has resulted in the local extinction of rainbow parrotfish. The current rate of destruction of mangroves, which is greater than that of tropical rainforest, will have a serious effect on adjacent reef communities.

Red-eyed tree frogs, despite their conspicuous coloration, are not venomous. They are found in tropical lowlands from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and in northern South America. Nocturnal carnivores, they hide in the rain forest canopy and ambush crickets, flies, and moths with their long, sticky tongues. When disturbed, they flash their bulging red eyes and reveal their huge, webbed orange feet and bright blue-and-yellow flanks. This technique, called startle coloration, may give a bird or snake pause, offering a precious instant for the frog to spring to safety. Their neon-green bodies may play a similar role in thwarting predators. Many of the animals that eat red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal hunters that use keen eyesight to find prey.

skink lizard images & info

Scalation same as in prairie skink; smooth. Adults are brown or black with no pronounced color change on the sides with five light narrow stripes down the back and sides. Five-lined skinks are often found in small colonies around rock outcroppings in the open areas on bluffs. Here, as in Minnesota, these lizards appear to be absent on other parts of the same bluff or on similar bluffs in other areas. With good management practices, these areas may be be inhabited by new populations of five-lined skinks.
skink lizards, mostly secretive ground dwellers or burrowers, that are represented throughout most of the world but are especially diverse in Southeast Asia and its associated islands, the deserts of Australia, and the temperate regions of North America. The bodies of skinks are typically cylindrical in cross section, and most species have cone-shaped heads and long, tapering tails.

Females guard the eggs and eat the ones that have spoiled (Oldfield and Moriarty, 1994). The eggs hatch in August. I have observed E. fasciatus hatching in Jackson County, IA. on August 21. There were two or more nests discovered under shingles laying on the forest floor high up on a bluff. All nests had females in attendance.

All of Iowa's lizards are quick and rely on speed to escape when they are out and about. The skinks look like small snakes slithering through the brush as they move their bodies in a very serpentine way when they run. One must use caution when trying to capture skinks.

All nests had females in attendance. Clutch size ranged from five to twelve. The young were jet black with five thin, yellow lines down the back and had bright blue tails. They were a little over 2 inches at hatching.

One must use caution when trying to capture skinks. Often one will end up with nothing but a wriggling tail as the lizard scoots off to safety. Skinks may also break their tails off by themselves by pushing it against a solid structure. The tail will regenerate, but it will have no pattern, will have slightly different scalation, and will never be as long as the original one.
Iowa's lizards hibernate underground in burrows they dig, and five-lined skinks hibernate in rock crevices and tunnels. They usually begin hibernating in September.

Their heads are cone shaped. Femoral pores are absent. The pupil is round, and many species have a large, transparent scale on the lower eyelid that enables them to see even when the lid is closed. In most species the tapering tail is easily broken but can be regenerated. Skinks are generally alert and active diurnal lizards but tend to be secretive, spending much time foraging under leaf litter. Most skinks are small, usually not exceeding 200 mm (8 in) in total length, but a few species are larger, and the Solomon Islands giant skink, Corucia zebrata, may exceed 600 mm (24 in). This species is unusual in that it is arboreal and has a prehensile tail.
skinks, with about 75 genera and 600 species, are one of the two largest lizard families. They are widespread and are particularly abundant in the great forests of Africa and Indoaustralia. The five-lined skink is a small striped lizard found in the wooded areas of the southeastern United States.


This break does not occur between the vertebrae (tail bones) but rather in a zone of weakness in a vertebra itself. These specialized vertebrae can be voluntarily split by muscular contraction; sphincter muscles in the tail stump close off the caudal artery to prevent excessive bleeding. Five-lined skinks have a bright blue tail, at least as juveniles, which serves to draw attention away from more vulnerable parts of the body. If attacked, the bright blue tail wriggles when broken off, catching an enemy's eye as the skink escapes.
The new tail, however, is not identical to the original. Its skeletal support consists of a fibrocartilaginous rod instead of vertebrae; its musculature is nonsegmental; its scales are different in size and form; and its color is usually subdued or otherwise altered. Five lined skinks prefer sheltered areas near woods.


skinks feed primarily on insects and other arthropods, but some of the larger forms are partially or completely herbivorous (genus Corucia; the Cape Verde skink, Macroscincus cocteay; and the Australian genera Egernia and Tiliqua). Herbivorous skinks have blunter teeth than insectivorous ones, and some species have broad-crowned grinding teeth.
Skinks may be either oviparous or viviparous. Some skinks are notable because the female remains with her eggs for up to 6 weeks, until they hatch.Babies are black with yellow stripes and a bright blue tail. The stripes and tail color fade with age, with adults becoming a dark brown and males having a bright red head resemblign the broad-headed skink

His theory is based on the strange life cycle of the parasitic flatworm.

Worm eggs unknowingly ingested by the Amber Snail hatch in the snails digestive track. The larva then change into sporocysts, causing drastic mutations in the snail’s brain and physiology. Healthy snails seek darkness to hide from predators, but the infected Amber Snail moves itself into dangerous open space and light. It is also helpless to retract its newly swollen, pulsating tentacles.
The end result is that feeding birds mistake the exposed tentacles for a caterpillar or grub, and rip them off the snail’s defenseless head. The flatworm then grows to maturity inside the bird, laying eggs that are released in droppings for new snails to consume.
parasitic worm that infects humans, causing our aggressive tendancies to explode, resulting in an uncontrolable urge to bite other people. The worm would quickly spread through saliva to new hosts, thereby quickly launching a global zombie plague. The rest of his family was excruciatingly bland as well, down to their bilateral symmetry and their little snail feet, used for locomotion. Unfortunately, Moses' singular foot did him no good, considering they never went anywhere cool.
