** Wild animals around the world**

in #science • 8 years ago

Hello friends, if you like animals as much as I do, you will like the post or at least I hope so .. I will show you the 10 most ferocious animals that exist. Come on:

A wild animal is an animal that has not been domesticated and that lives in freedom, or what is the same, that is wild. This means that it is not domesticated and lives on its own without any help from humans. A wild animal has its own food, shelter, water and all its other needs in a specific natural habitat. Its habitat can be a field, forests, ponds, wetlands, meadows, mountains, etc. There are wild animals in the water, in the air and on the earth's surface.

For example, in the earth we have the lion, in the water the sharks and in the air the eagle.

Remember that all the animals were once wild, the dog, the horse, the cats, etc. all were wild before being domesticated by man. Although the word savage may be scary or appear to be dangerous because they are wild, not all wild animals are dangerous to man. Most animals that are wild are only dangerous when they feel threatened.

Some animals, still considered wild today, can be bred in captivity, but given the relative few generations of breeding, they are still considered "wild" (compared to the thousands of generations of breeding needed to be domesticated or considered not wild ).

In any case the wild animals will never adapt completely to being domesticated, being able at certain moments to have strange behaviors, even seriously hurt the man, especially if they feel threatened. It may be the case of a puppy that never bites and once, for whatever reason, bites.

These are the 10 wildest animals

  • The Lion:

This mammal is characterized in males by its large mane that makes them very particular, and because they are large animals, since a male lion can weigh up to 300 kilograms, thus being alive bigger after his relative the Tiger. It has large and strong jaws that can kill prey of any size, since in addition, its fangs can measure up to 9 centimeters.

Among the lions, when the males are stripped of their leadership, the offspring they had with the lionesses of the group are eliminated in a fierce way: the new leader bites his head, back, neck and crushes his abdomen. In this way it manages that the females return to be able to have young quickly. Also, the new leader gets rid of future competitors.

  • The Wolf:

They are strong and fast, always hunting in a pack. Once a wolf begins a fight it will not stop until he or his opponent dies. They are great predators but they are in danger of extinction. The entire pack is responsible for the care of the newborn wolves. A wolf has a 100 times better sense of smell than the average human.

When a couple of wolves come together, they will remain partners until one of them dies. In many cases, couples will have many years together, and will offer a litter of newborns every year.

  • The Giraffe: It is the highest of all the species of terrestrial animals existing. It can reach a height of 5.8 meters and a weight that varies between 750 and 1600 kg. They are herbivores and mammals. They tend to roam the prairies in small groups during the day and live an average of 25 years.

  • The Eagle:


They are the largest predatory birds. The various species and subspecies of eagles can be found almost anywhere in the world except Antarctica.

The Eagle, is one of the longest birds of its kind, reaching up to seventy years. It preferentially feeds on small mammals.

  • The Dolphin:
    They are a family of cetaceans odontocetes (cetaceans with teeth) mammals and very heterogeneous, comprising 34 species. The dolphin is a marine animal, which can measure between 3 and 9 meters long. They are on the list of the most intelligent animals, very close to man in this sense, and very friendly, having a social life that makes him familiar with man constantly. Like other marine animals, they use sound (like whistling, clicks and bursts), jumping and dancing, to communicate and can catch their prey.

    • The Turtle:

    The turtles are reptiles characterized by having a broad and short trunk, protected by a carapace. Different species can live 150 years or more. The different species inhabit territories as distant as Africa, Europe, America, Asia and Australia, adapting to diametrically opposed environments, such as deserts, forests, forests, rivers, lakes and oceans, evolving to adapt to the environment. They reproduce by eggs.

    • The Panda Bear:

    It is an omnivorous mammal characterized by its black and white coloration and its fondness for bamboo. The giant panda inhabits the remote mountainous regions of Central China and Tibet at altitudes of 1,200-4,100 meters above sea level. The panda is a solitary animal. It has greater activity during the sunsets and usually delimits its territory with urine, smells and claw marks; thus avoid confrontations between them. 99% of your diet is made up of bamboo, and you can spend 10 to 12 hours a day feeding.

    • The Hawk:

    There are more than 40 different species of falcon that can be found around the world, such as the peregrine falcon and the black hawk. It is a bird that is powerful, with a compact silhouette during the flight. They are characterized by their long and pointed sickle-shaped wings; short tail and head embedded in the shoulders. He prefers wild and solitary rocky environments, and is loved by bird watchers for his proud looks and especially for his skill as a high-flying hunter, whose hunting methods are very peculiar. They consist of hovering and falling on their prey. They hunt all kinds of small animals such as mice, frogs, fish, they can even catch small birds in the air.

    • The Leopard:

    The leopard is a member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats", the other three are the tiger, the lion and the jaguar. All subspecies except the African leopard are found in Asia, South Asia and India. Leopards eat small mammals such as gazelles, impalas, deer and wildebeest. Sometimes, they can also hunt monkeys, rodents and birds. They often take their prey to the branches of a tree to eat and protect the hunting of other predators and scavengers. Leopards are nocturnal animals, which means they are active at night. They are loners, and prefer to live alone. They are very agile and good swimmers. They are able to jump more than 20 meters.

    • The Owl:

    Includes about two hundred mostly solitary and nocturnal species.

    An owl is an animal that belongs to the clade of the strigids. It is a bird of nocturnal and rapacious habits, which is characterized by having feathers that look like ears. This peculiarity allows differentiating owls from owls and other similar species. They are raptors that are characterized by a vertical posture, a large head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp claws, and feathers adapted for silent flight.

    Maybe some of the animals that are on this list do not seem very wild and fearsome, but scientific data indicate that they are and you should be very careful with them.
