Giraffe generally having habitat in savannas, grasslands, open woodlands. Even when there is scarcity of food they themselves can migrate to denser vegetation. They can only eat green leaves. They can drink large amount of water and store it for a long period of time. So they can able to live for long periods in a dry, arid areas

Watch beautiful bird migration
Bird migration is nothing but the normal seasonal voyage undertaken by birds. This will be a fantastic sight for the bird watcher lovers. The bird migration can even happen in our backyards
The climatic changes in the length of the days make some hormonal changes in the birds which tends them to migrate
Birds usually migrate to long distance and the most common one is the migration of birds to north in spring and returning to their home place during winter. Migration can also take place due to some other reasons like food availability, weather, habitat, etc
During migration birds can fly to a height of about 500 to 2000 m. Some birds fly to a height of 6, 800 m and the swans fly to a height of about 8,000m. And the Bar-Headed Geese is found to fly at a height of about 9,000m
Conversation of energy is the main advantage of Bird's migration

The Mallard Duck
Mallard is a green head, yellow bill and black rump duck found mainly in the northern hemisphere. Millions of mallard ducks live in North America and Eurasia. In today’s world Mallard duck is considered to be the most abundant duck.
Mallard is a medium size duck that measure about 18 to 27 inches in length. At the time of breeding the male duck has a green head with white neck ring. The body will be gray in color with chestnut colored breast. The bill of the duck is yellow in color with a black tip. The female duck is mottled brown in color with white tail.

Vishayan spotted deer-world rarest animal
The Visayan spotted deer is one of the world's rarest mammals.
The Visayan spotted deer was not recognized as a separate species until 1983.
The range of the Visayan spotted deer is essentially the same as that of the endangered Visayan warty pig, which is subjected to the same threats.
Much of the destruction of the forests of the Visayan Islands, which are home to this deer, may be attributed to landless peasants and indigenous tribal groups who moved into these areas to clear temporary agricultural plots, especially after lumber concessions were terminated and the sugar industry became depressed. These plots are known as kaingin, and their soil is rapidly exhausted and new plots must be cleared every few years. Tropical storms wash the sparse topsoil off of the bare hillsides into the sea

Dacetonarmigerumc
Dacetonarmigerum is an ant species is a predator in the forest canopy Suriname. The ant species nest and feeds in the tress all through south America. This is only ant species that is alive in its genus. Its habitat ranges from northern south America, Trinidad, Tababgo, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Surinam, Peru, Guiana, and French Guiana.

White-nose syndrome
Caver photographer in 2006 February took a shot of bats some 40 miles west of Albany, New York who all had an unusual white substance on their muzzles. The photographer also noticed some dead bats. The following winter irregular behavior of the bats, bats with white noses and the dead bats in the caves all came to the attention of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation biologists.
The biologist noted that this was due to white nose syndrome and documented it on January 2007. Hundreds of thousands of hibernating birds have died. The biologist, agencies, and the organizations all over the country are still trying to find a solution to this unknown mystery.
Many have found sick and dead bats in unprecedented number in and around the caves and mines. During hibernacula the bats move to the cold parts. They fly during the day and in the cold winter weather if the prey for them is not available they start to exhibit some uncharacteristic behavior.
Despite of the research to find the source of this unknown mystery the solution remains unknown. The recent identification of the cold loving fungus could be a first step for the answer.

Whipper Parakeet
Whipper the Mutant Parakeet has become famous in his home country of New Zealand, and now his popularity is spilling over into the rest of the world. Whipper's long, curly feathers, short flightless wings, and apparent blindness are the result of a a genetic mutation known to parakeet breeders as the "feather duster" mutation. After being placed with, and rejected by its mother, its owner took personal care of Whipper. This early separation from its own species may have resulted in its unique vocal sounds, and later reintroduction to other budgerigars caused normal calls to be more evident.

Jellyfish
Jellyfish are floating animals that eat the fishes in the sea. Only a few species of jellyfish can be seen in fresh water. They are soft bodied animals that have long, stinging, and poisonous tentacles that are used to catch the fish. Jellyfish is made up of 98% of water.
There are many types of jellyfish and the size of the jelly fish also ranges from a few inches to the lion mane. Some jellyfish have the ability to glow in the dark.
The deadliest jellyfishes that can even kill a man are box jelly, Irukandji jelly, etc.
The life cycle of the jelly fish is quite dissimilar from the others.
The egg and the sperm are released in to the water by the adults and they meet in the water.
Then the Planula larva develops. It is a free swimming state.
Then it develops into a Polyp which settles on a hard surface and anchors itself and grows fully in the winter season.
Then the polyp hydroid colony forms which is linked by the feeding tubes. During the spring season the polyps bud off the tiny jellyfish.
Which grows into an adult having hood, oral arms, mouth and tentacles?
The body of the jellyfish comprises of six basic parts:
- Epidermis to protect the inner organs
- Gastrodermis – the inner layer
- Mesoglea – the area between the epidermis and gastrodermis
- Gastrovascular cavity – functions as a gullet, stomach and intestine.
- Orifice – functions as a mouth and anus
- Tentacles
