The back is dark brown or dark yellow, the abdomen is gray, tail long and flat, with grey black or grey and yellow lines operation. Its tail is self-defense and attack the enemy's weapons, in the water also play a role in promoting the body forward. Short limbs and strong, one of its forelimbs and a pair of legs are obviously different: forelimb fingers, fingers without webbed; four toed hind, webbed toes.

Short kiss and kiss the alligator pure round, the front end has a pair of nostrils. It is interesting that its nostrils have valves open and close. Eye is all black, and the eyelid and film, so the eyes can be open to Chinese alligator closed.

Alligators live in fresh water, love habitat in the lakes, swamp beaches or hilly mountain covered with grass and basil in wet places. It has excellent hole digging ability, head, tail and sharp claws are its hole digging tool. As the saying goes "jiaotusanku", while the Chinese alligator has more than three cave cave. It's often cave with several openings, some place in the beach, reed shore sympodial bamboo, some in the pond bottom, on the ground there is entrance, air vent, and adapt to the water level height of the side hole. Inside the cave are like a labyrinth arranged in a crisscross pattern. Perhaps it is this underground maze to help them overcome the cold ice and cold winter, but also help them to escape predators and survived. To fish, frogs, snails and mussels as food. But sometimes attacked poultry and crushed crops, plus it looks "ugly", has long been regarded as a harmful animal was killed, so the number of rare.

Someone called Alligator Crocodile, is regarded as a kind of aquatic animal fish. In fact, no alligator gills, nor aquatic animal, but the alligator back to the water, forming some water to adapt to the characteristics of life, with amphibious ability. In this way, Chinese alligator would expand the areas of life, which makes them easy to become a winner in the struggle for life.

The Chinese alligator in the side of lake and pond burrowing habitat, ferocious temperament, in a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and crustaceans. June mating, 7 to August spawning, each nest can spawn more than 20. Eggs in the grass, the overlying weeds, mother crocodile is guardian in the side, by the natural temperature of incubation, incubation period is about 60 days. Hibernating habit, every year in October into the cave hibernation, to second years before coming out in April and May activities.

The Chinese alligator like static, daytime seclusion in the cave, foraging at night. But it also comes out during the day, especially in the caves near the shore, beach sun. It often closed his eyes, crawling motionless in a semi sleep state, to give people the illusion of sluggish, but when it is meeting the enemy or to find food, it will immediately be thick tail swinging around hard, quickly sink to the bottom to escape predators or chase food. It is the most favorite food is fish, shrimp, snails, mussels, waterfowl, hare, snakes and other animal. The Chinese alligator eats a lot, the absorption of nutrients are mostly stored in the body, so it will have a strong hunger ability, can through the long period of hibernation.

"Sea fault map" is the period of Kangxi, a group of maps drawn by the artist Huang nie. Nie Juan with vivid pictures and written records of various biological he heard in China see, ears of the coast. Limited by time, the book chronicles are exaggerated, but full of wit and humour, by the Qing emperors like. Now hidden in Beijing the Imperial Palace and Taipei the Imperial Palace. Is it made of a bubble?

"? (Zh,) is also known as fish, jellyfish, jellyfish, it does not belong to any kind of animal that is green spray condensation, such as sheep stomach, floating in the water, no guts." This is the book of jellyfish in ancient books. "Sea wrong map" author Nie Huang looked at these words, heart doubts. When he was living in Zhejiang, Yongjia, not far from the harbour, many just pulled out of the jellyfish, seen personally cut open, see "stomach blood film", this is the characteristic of the animal. But the local fishing season is from the south, only the jellyfish is from the northeast to the size and. With these features, the "bubble formed is hard to explain.". So he believes that ancient records are wrong.

Is the most common jellyfish aureliaaurita. Nie Juan guess was right. Jellyfish are not spray form, but a real animal. People often put the body light and transparent, some suko sea creatures are called "jellyfish", such as Hydromedusae and Siphonophora, scyphomedusae, scyphomedusae and ctenophora. In fact, the strict sense of taxonomy jellyfish, that is, the most classic jellyfish in our minds, refers to the class of jellyfish. And the table jellyfish, belonging to the Scyphozoa under rhizostomeae. So, to make clear what is the relationship between jellyfish and jellyfish you now see: the jellyfish jellyfish is a member of the family.

However, the "bubble cemented" argument, is not above the jellyfish Weakness lends wings to rumours. body is 95% water, a few hours after the death of "autolysis" into a pool of water, only a little bit of solid part, will make people have a "jellyfish by water condenses" lenovo.

Up to the jellyfish as soon as possible, otherwise it will deteriorate quickly water. "The wrong map" in the records of the sea, seafood merchants in the Qing Dynasty in order to avoid the jellyfish water, will use alum treatment, until the mast was heavy "jellyfish become" thin "after the sale. Because the alum jellyfish would quickly make protein coagulation, dehydration, sterilization, remove the tentacles can be toxic, can be maintained for a long time. So far, alum is the essential material processing jellyfish, jellyfish fishermen of Zhoushan proverb: "not alum, had whipped sand."

Jellyfish can live how long?

This jellyfish looks fragile life can live long? I believe many people concerned about this issue, but the problem is not a unified answer, there are many types of jellyfish, length of life.

We are the most familiar jellyfish can live for about a year. Take the Bohai Bay jellyfish, spring, small jellyfish began to grow into the summer, September, spawning, at the end of October almost died clean. Other jellyfish, life is mostly around one or two years.

Will experience a lifetime of polyps most jellyfish (sessile) and Medusa (swimming life) two stages, from the general jellyfish hydranth into Medusa, can keep Medusa, until death.

But the scientists found that a "jellyfish" if in a laboratory environment in environmental deterioration, will again return hydropolyp from medusa. Like back to the past. This is not what is said can rejuvenate, can ever-young?

Why do jellyfish glow?

Jellyfish shine on a magic protein called Equelin. According to the scientists, the jellyfish behind several long tentacles on the shining light on the thin, light calcium met protein can emit strong blue light.

Pig looks like a monkey

Columbia University psychologist and researcher Stanley Coren found that canine animal dog not only can understand more than 150 words, but also deliberately deceive others to get a reward. At the 117th session of the American Psychological Society conference, Coren delivered a speech on "how to think about the dog.".

The dog had published many articles on the behavior of Coren in the review of a large number of research, concluded that dogs can deal with all kinds of complicated problems, their IQ and humans and other higher primates are very close to the animal.

"We all want to know how these long fur friends are thinking, trying to understand why they are making some naive, eccentric, and apparently irrational behavior." Coren said in an interview, "they burst out wit and creative spark reminds us that perhaps their IQ is not Einstein, but it is very similar to human and."

After repeated acts of investigation, Coren believes that the dog's IQ is equivalent to two or two and a half years old children.

There are differences between different breeds of dogs, which may be determined by the variety of the dog. Coren said: "the clever dog can be divided into three categories: instinct (training from parents), learning (dog their ability to learn to solve problems from the surrounding environment and work) and obedience (equivalent to the" learning class ")."

The United States and Canada judge the compliance of 208 dogs, and the results show that there are differences in the work and compliance aspects of different breeds of dogs. "Border Collie ranked first; the following is a poodle, German shepherd, golden retriever, Doberman, Shetland sheepdog, Labrador retriever." Coren said.

In terms of language, the average of each dog can remember 165 words, including signals and gestures, some of the "super dog" (ranked first 20% of the dog IQ) and even learn 250 words. Coren said: "this record is created by a border collie named Rico, it can memorize 200 English words, and showed a" fast learning ability ", the scientists only in humans and chimpanzees learned language who discovered this talent."

Dogs can count, and can count from one to four or five. Basic knowledge of arithmetic, and can be aware of some simple calculations of errors, such as 1+1=1 or 1+1=3.

In order to study the dog's ability to solve the problem of space, Coren to simulate the behavior of humans or other dogs with obstacles. Through observation, Coren found that dogs can understand the valuables (delicacy) place, can find the optimal path in the environment (such as the arrival of the fastest line comfortable chair), the operation method of awareness (such as mechanical latch and simple instruments), and the word meaning and symbolic meaning (sometimes simply by listening or observe the movement can understand).

When playing, the dog will even deliberately deceive other dogs and humans in order to get a reward. "The odds of success are as high as the success rate of human deception," Coren said."

"The situation is still visible before the eyes Kaining yellow. Huang Kaining brought the snake back home and bandaged it with herbs, when the snake was only four.

It is said that one night, Huang Kaining was sleeping by a couple of screams woke up, get up to the living room, the python is firmly wrapped in a strange man, turned out to be a thief to steal areca yellow Kaining just bought back.

Python can not only catch the thief, but also save, the local has several children swimming in the river, it was urgent water, one of the younger children were washed down, was quickly drowned, the older children with Python swim to the side of the child, the child immediately grabbed python, python put him back to the shore.

At the beginning, the neighbors heard Huang Kaining raised snakes are afraid, also curious to see the house of Huang Kaining, found that even children have no hesitation and snake play, holding a snake in the room to run. The neighbors much, worries are all gone, and around the children are very love this Python friend. Kids don't beat it, it doesn't attack kids.

Now the python longer, appetite is staggering, according to Huang Kaining's father said: "Boa now can eat a dozen chickens. "The neighbors often come to see boa, also often buy some chicken to console for it.

Why don't lose the python ferocious nature, really have a soul?

Beijing zoo amphibians and reptiles Museum technician Liu Liquan through the relevant news reports also saw the python photos, Liu Li Quan said this Python Huang Kaining family should be black tailed python, mainly distributed in China's Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Fujian. And the black tailed Python is the largest snake in the body.

According to Liu Liquan introduction, the general wild Python is more fierce, when snake predation, first bite prey and then wait until the prey is strangling Chansi, starting from the head to swallow. Generally about more than and 100 pounds of Python a meal to eat

Why don't lose the python ferocious nature, really have a spirituality? Beijing zoo amphibians and reptiles Museum technician Liu Liquan through the relevant news reports also saw the python photos, Liu Liquan said this Python Huang Kaining family should be black tailed python, mainly distributed in China's Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Fujian. And the black tailed Python is the largest snake in the body.

According to Liu Liquan introduction, the general wild Python is more fierce, when snake predation, first bite prey and then wait until the prey is strangling Chansi, starting from the head to swallow. Generally about more than and 100 pounds of Python a meal to eat three or four chickens, after eating, basically can not eat half a month, until the digestion of feces, only to start the second round of eating.

Why Huang Kaining home reared pythons but no wild? Can not hurt people, can help the owner catch the thief, rescue the child drowning. Is it really the local rumors that because of getting along with people for a long time, pythons have a spiritual, human nature?

Liu Liquan said that human Python is impossible, Python is the low brain development is not complete, poikilotherm, unlike mammals such as cats and dogs can recognize people. General feeding python, at the beginning, Python is more fierce, but after a period of time after the domestication, people always touch it, feed it, there will be some Python reflex.

Wild Python is terrifying, mainly being hurt it, the snake bite is actually a kind of defensive behavior. If people always touch it, do not hurt it, its defensive is not so strong, and slowly fear also disappeared, people will not take the initiative to attack. And not just to feed its owner, will not take the initiative to attack others. So Huang Kaining's Python not only won't hurt him, and can also include other people around the neighborhood of peaceful coexistence. But Liu Liquan said, boa rescue drowning child is possible, but is not a kind of active behavior. According to Huang Kaining, boa and children often go swimming, domesticated Python has become very tame, it certainly doesn't hurt the child, python the buoyancy in the water is very large, and generally do not love Python long time to stay in the water, the child grabbed Python after it is easy to be brought back to the shore of python.

Now the python in Huang Kaining's home has been for 9 years, and the whole family has established a deep affection, once several times, some people want to buy high priced out of his boa, in April this year, a tourism industry even opened 450 thousand high prices, despite the yellow house, raising such a huge monster has can Huang Kaining but also not willing to set up 9 years, feeling very difficult to let go. I now want to raise the snake to more than one thousand pounds, the world's largest snake. Huang Huang said.

Expert, "snake nanny" heroic thief is not an active behavior, it can catch the thief Python and how to explain it? According to their more than and 40 years of raising the snake's experience, Liu Liquan analysis, will not recognize that Python is a thief, thief entered the house and other people inside are the same for the snake, but because the thief do not understand the habits of python, then suddenly saw a large python, he would be very afraid, if the escape or scream, will disturb the python, so there is a snake catching a thief scene. If the thief can keep calm, motionless, certainly nothing.

Jackie Philip and dino.

7 years ago, Seattle's "lost pet society" (Missing Pet Partnership) held a seminar in 1997, the organization is a creation from K9 PDU to pet detective. At the meeting, Philip found a talent in search and rescue. "At the end of the meeting, we all brought our own dog," Philip recalled. "The coach will have a basic assessment of the dog to determine whether it is interested in looking for a cat." From the California Central Valley Shepherd - hound hybrid Dino, on the other animal showed a mild temperament and showed strong interest in search of prey, this character is the shepherd is why dogs the most clever and industrious worker.

Philip's personal experience has made her realize the value of scent tracking dogs. In 1992 she lived in San Francisco from an hour's drive north of Santa Rosa, her dog Qieqian, a pit bull terrier cross, was abducted from the backyard. "A piece of wood they remove the fence, my fence 8 feet high," she explained, "Qieqian finished ligament surgery, just to walk. But I can't find her again."

Dino in San Leandro Marina.

Philip has many times been invited to Fenston fort. Where the dogs from stray dogs, often disappear in the vast expanse of land and sea breeze. Named in honor of a fort Fenston had participated in the Philippine American War Ohio army generals, was a part of the San Francisco Bay coast defense system. From the strategic position of the San Francisco Bay area is one of the most important Gulf States, for the defense of the Pacific enemy. 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Fort Fenston entered the highly wartime alert. The soldiers boarded the tower, a sea detection may occur at any time of the Japanese warships. Japanese did not appear in the end. The headland in the early cold war by military generals into missile base. 1963, Fort Fenston was incorporated into the National Park system. On this beach is still able to see the signs of the former arms. But now, a pet dog Fenston Fort paradise

But it made us realize one thing: hang gliding can have a bird's-eye view of the fort Fenston, this perspective is a pet detective or odor tracking dogs are unable to provide the. In the next few days, Feathers Fellow has brought more witnesses: the new "last place"". Our search has entered a new stage. All day mobile phone does not leave the body, we received a phone call from a strange number. "Olive is still alive!" We were wild with joy. She was still in the area, with the red dog chain around her neck, according to the glider enthusiast. We almost have to solve the case.

They say the evidence of Philip and Dino inference. The map shows that Olive's range of activities in the surrounding lake merced. Lake Merced is a natural reservoir on the other side of the cliff Fenston fort. According to the olfactory receptor responses are inferred Dino, olive leaves into the hills, near the "Olympic Golf Club", and walk along the lake trail. The smell of its trajectory before interruption, Dino stops at a residential area near Lake Merced in. We feel very embarrassed. We're getting closer from the truth, but our bank account is tight. Before the tragedy, we find that olive is becoming more and more slim.

Seventh days after the disappearance of the olive, I received a strange phone. "This is olive?" The man on the phone asked. I ran to his location, the Merced lake a penthouse residence. His dachshund through the kitchen window staring at the backyard barking a whole morning. He walked out of the house and it is olive, with her dog. When I got there, the man was still in his pajamas. He looks like actor Paul Giamatti (Giamatti Paul), he refused to accept my fee. He found the olive, took her into the house, give her to eat and drink, put the sofa vacated for her to rest. He didn't even want to tell me his name.

In fact, Dino was traced to the right place, but in the near distance olive stopped. "What's the problem with his sense of smell? Is not the smell of other animals interfere with the judgment?" Then we asked Philip. Our results were unexpected but quite perfect, like a great detective story. Olive at me, barking excitedly. I brought her home to meet my daughter.
