<br />
The abase house sparrow has fans outside the rarefied world of birdwatchers. “It's because <b>successive generations arose up</b> with this passerine bird. It's little surprise that they feel its absence,” says Madras Naturalists' Society (MNS) and adds that this love for the sparrow bird is adequte to script its comeback.<br />

MNS is creating a “Sparrow Map of Chennai” and it relies mostly on residents to achieve this task. To involve the community in this conservation effort, MNS has called an event for <b>World Sparrow Day</b> for the every year <b>“March 20”</b> that requires people to write in about places where they have seen sparrows.<br />
<br />
Participants are awaited to look for these birds in their neighbourhood on March 20 and note down the location, time, weather, number of sparrows, activities they were engaged in, location of nests (if any), other birds or animals found in the vicinity and other relevant information. If participants have managed to click photographs of these sparrows, they may send them in. <br />
<br />
MNS will work on this data, visiting these sites and <b>looking for ways to improve sparrow populations there</b>. “Areas where sparrows even flock may offer clues to understanding factors that confirm these birds. Various theories have been forwarded to brief the dwindling numbers of sparrows and collecting data about these birds from areas where they are still found may help get at conclusions about these theories.

The return back of <b><span style="color: lime;">grey pelicans bird to Kolleru Lake</span> </b>has generated a wonderful amount of academic interest in the avian fauna of the lake. The amount of migratory and residential birds recorded by the Wildlife Division of the Forest Department has almost accomplished 200.<br />

Many of these birds were rare and threatened spices. The large whistling teal is listed in Schedule-I of the Wildlife (Protection Act) 1972. The migratory birds stopped coming and the residential birds left with the devastation of their habitat by unregulated aquaculture.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: orange;">The birds remained away from the lake for a couple of decades</span>. The lake which is a Ramsar site was then announced a wildlife sanctuary. Several illegal fish tanks were destroyed as part of Operation Kolleru. The birds came back after that, but did not stay to perch in the season. The Forest Department then took special steps to see that the pelicans that were coming every year remained back in Atapaka to nest.

Anomalocaris, the ancestor of modern insects, had 16,000 separate lenses in each eye giving it a massive advantage when locating its prey. The remains of a pair of ancient compound eyes that belonged to the world's first tremendous predator have been discovered by fossil hunters in Australia.<br />
<br />
Anomalocaris was a soft-bodied marine beast that patrolled the oceans over half a billion years ago. Adults grew to a metre long & had eyes on stalks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIIcOqvZIOLohWBL7JOh1QWTHfgZIB3VcUR0GECfl0weEPQbVQuixjE593QY4v8ijKtfIASkGfZzCgTo3f_UUIW21msPcGfXLrmiHSMh4uLf8hs4ZfxrPSDHqRYfZ7enhr61sZk0yUmmh/s1600/anomalocaris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIIcOqvZIOLohWBL7JOh1QWTHfgZIB3VcUR0GECfl0weEPQbVQuixjE593QY4v8ijKtfIASkGfZzCgTo3f_UUIW21msPcGfXLrmiHSMh4uLf8hs4ZfxrPSDHqRYfZ7enhr61sZk0yUmmh/s400/anomalocaris.jpg" width="336" /></a></div>
The creature also had grasping claws and teeth-like serrations in its mouth that it used to capture and feed on other marine animals. The fossilised excrement of the predator suggests it may have crunched up trilobites, which were up to 25cm long.<br />
<br />
Each eye was around centimetres across and contained over 16,000 separate lenses, to give the creature outstanding vision to support its predatory lifestyle.<br />
<br />
The ability to spot prey from far away would have influenced the evolutionary arms race that played out in the Cambrian, when animal life became extraordinarily diverse.

<b>I was with some of my friends and a baby in one of the vast grasslands of Africa</b>.

<br />

<b style="color: lime;">At that time, my foot got caught in a wild vine and fell crying in pain</b>. By fall, the baby in my arms also fell but fortunately was not hurt. The following series of events that happened in an instant - I heard a roar heard somewhere close shots and turned just in time to see the glorious black and orange stripes to pounce on me. At that time the others in my group had run for safety. They could do nothing to help. <br />
<br />
<b style="color: #e06666;">The beast turned to me and with each step I took, I could feel myself about to death</b>. I do not have the strength to move from my position. However, the tiger cheated on me and went straight with a grin for the baby who is near me. I could not do anything but pray with all my strength. Just as I was showing all the signs of a movement there was a theft in the bushes and out came jumping merrily, the tiger cub. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Black widow, for example, picking up the scent of women that help determine</b> how hungry males of their interests before trying to love is to mate. Redback spiders in Australia, meanwhile, actually snacked leave to extend their time with a woman. </div>

Habitat loss added to degradation of forests has led to man-elephant conflict. This is a problem faced in <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Asia and Africa</span>, where humans and elephants are killing each other and also the end of food sources This is because forests have been fragmented and degraded, have become plantations, which has stopped feeding the elephants and migratory patterns. It is time for conservation measures to be put in place to assure the safety of the gentle giant.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWywXSNfAKOu4u8qUuvElghgQYx7JuMILqKyI2Q7ElFz-LnCHAK9mWJ61H9c4-T0Qi67ZHgqZxHsMUqff1f57u0UVMisKA_iR4zw1Outp_tACktuZ0x3ljQFyFQSCtNiaBOdud2uI0zvB/s1600/elephant-image.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWywXSNfAKOu4u8qUuvElghgQYx7JuMILqKyI2Q7ElFz-LnCHAK9mWJ61H9c4-T0Qi67ZHgqZxHsMUqff1f57u0UVMisKA_iR4zw1Outp_tACktuZ0x3ljQFyFQSCtNiaBOdud2uI0zvB/s400/elephant-image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630918817654665186" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Some Recommendations </span></span><br /><br />No change to existing elephant<br /><br />corridors<br /><br />Involve local community in protection<br /><br />Constitute local management<br /><br />committees in all elephant reserve<br /><br />Initiate long-term scientific studies on<br /><br />elephant ecology and census methods<br /><br />Check the ivory trade<br /><br />Improve care and management of<br /><br />captive elephants<br /><br />Establish high engagement zone mitigation<br /><br />task forces<br /><br />‘Grain for grain' compensation of crops<br /><br />lost due to conflict<br /><br />Create awareness about the importance<br /><br />and the value of elephantsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227392121622615190.post-69084208764612086952011-07-13T21:38:00.000-07:002011-07-13T22:04:28.133-07:00Tatarstan skylark Bird Climate Change<p align="justify">Birds are detail well-suited to move as conditions vary. Somewhere mysterious in their DNA is a memory of changes in the past and how to deal with those changes.

The Tatarstan skylarks migrate south for the winter and their return is a conventional harbinger of spring in Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe.<br /><br />A team of scientists from Tatarstan Republic and the United Kingdom analyzed the long record of return dates of the skylark and discovered that they have been arriving earlier and earlier over the past three decades (11 days earlier since the late 1970s). Askeyev et al. showed that the veer in bird behavior happened when the March air temperatures in the region have increased by 3.7ºC. The climate changes, the birds react. C’est la vie. We note that the birds don’t seem to be victims of changes in temperature – they’ve suitably adapted their behavior to fit ever-changing conditions. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227392121622615190.post-77985045266297698442011-06-28T23:06:00.000-07:002011-06-28T23:09:02.432-07:00A Mouse: Treat them with respectIt is today with the mouse.
