Animals From Around The

World
Welcome to my PowerPoint.
Hope you like it!
It will be all about animals.
 Wild Animal Facts
• Of the seven known Alligator Gar species, the alligator is the
largest, reaching up to ten feet (three meters) long and tipping
the scales at up to 300 pounds (140 kilograms).
• The African wild dog, also called Cape hunting dog or painted dog,
typically in the area of sub-Saharan Africa.
• The prehistoric-looking alligator snapping turtle is the largest
freshwater turtle in North America and also known as the
greatest in the world.
• Giraffes legs allow them to run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometres)
an hour over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles
(16 kilometres) an hour over longer distances.
• Rhesus monkeys are familiar brown monkeys with red faces and
bottoms.

 Fishy Facts
 Fish are cold-blooded animals with backbones, gills, and fins. Most fishes
are torpedo-shaped for the efficient travel through water, but much
variation occurs, from flattened and rounded, as in flounders, to vertical
and angular, as in sea horses. Fishes range in size from the pygmy goby, of
the Philippines, which reaches only 12 mm (0.5 in) long and about 1.5 g
(0.05 oz) in weight and is mature at 6 mm (0.25 in), to the whale shark
which grows to 18 m (60 ft) long and over 20 tons in weight.
 Fish were among the first animals systematically hunted by primitive
humans. Even today, relatively primitive societies in the South Pacific and
South America depend largely on fish for food; while in many industrialized
nations, fish still constitute a major part of the diet. It is said that the
search for codfish led French fishermen to the discovery of Canada and
that villages sprang up on the coasts of Norway, Scotland, Japan, and other
countries wherever shoals of herrings regularly came close to shore. Today
fishes are harvested for unprocessed human food, fish meal, animal feed,
and oil. They also are pursued avidly by sport anglers, who contribute to
the economy of fishing areas and to specific industries. Currently, however,
the increasing human population, over fishing to supply this population,
and pollution of the world's waters are all cutting heavily into the world
supply of fish, and threatening the existence of a number of species. At the
same time, regulations to curtail the taking of certain species or sizes are
virtually unenforceable on an international level.
 Pond Life
• Group
•  
• key features
• Alderfly nymph
• one tail, long filaments along the abdomen
• Caddishly larva
• most species build a cylindrical case for protection, each species makes a distinct case from different
material
• Stonefly nymph
• two jointed tails
• Mayfly nymph
• three jointed tails, leaf-like (or other shaped) 'gills' on its sides
• Damselfly nymph
• three leaf-like tail appendages (gills), bizarre extendable jaws
• Dragonfly nymph
• robust, no tail appendages, bizarre extendable jaws
• Water bug
nymph/adult
• no jaws, like all water bugs they possess a tube-like beak, the nymphs don't have wings, 
Some common forms: Backswimmer, water boatman. On the water surface: Pond skater
• Water-beetle larva
• strong jaws, long segmented body, short legs
• Water beetle adult
• strong jaws, tough shield, many water beetles are fierce predators
• Springtail
• the grey spring-tail (the most primitive insect group) Podura aquatica lives on the surface of the water, often
in large numbers, 0.5-2.5mm

 Home Animals
 Cats and Dogs are the main animals
in Britain. This is because some
animals need warmth and Britain
don’t give that kind of warmth or as
much warmth. My cats at home love
to go out but they are still to young
to go out. Why is this? Well I’ll tell
you my cats cannot go outside
because they are still to small and
cars cannot see them if they cross a
road at night.
