The first time I saw flamingo people in Cuba was at a place called Caia Coco. Two birds stood gracefully in a small pond. Every day we went to admire them. But the photographs of those birds have not been preserved. Santa Maria: you have to give credit to the sculptor - the birds look like they are alive. Flamingo is perhaps the most exotic and very beautiful bird, proudly wearing pink, reaching to scarlet plumage. Pink-operated birds are always special, too unusual, such a coloration among the overwhelming gray-white-black feathered kingdom. The pink pelican, the pink starling, the pink lentil are dressed in pink or pinkish feathers, the pink heron is on the verge of extinction ... It is rare that anyone managed to see the pink seagull. There are various reasons for pink plumage. In most species, water chicks are pinkish to light or turn pink gradually. The flaming wind chicks are dirty white in the light, and later, due to food, they acquire a reddish tint. Large colonies of this bird live in Asia, Europe, Europe, America. And their habitats are salt lakes, sea coasts, shallow lagoons, where they feed mainly on seafood and algae, wealth and carotenoids, pollution, covering and absorbing feathers of a juicy pinkish-orange hue. Agree, such a simple observation does not want to be expected at all, admiring the magnificent birds.

The cheetah is primarily known as the best runner among mammals, capable of reaching speeds of more than 100 km per hour in short distances, which allows it to catch up not only with a gazelle or a hare, but also with another famous sprinter - a greyhound. By the way, in body structure, he resembles her, or any other long-legged dog. The cheetah's body is built to run. He has long legs, a low-set chest, like a large greyhound, a light, muscular body, a flexible spine. In addition, this is the only cat that “runs in spikes”, the claws of the cheetah do not retract completely, even the generic name “Acinonyx” in Greek means “fixed claws”. The coloration is sandy-yellow, small black spots are scattered all over the body, thin black stripes are on the sides of the muzzle. The body length is from 115 to 140 cm, a rather massive tail reaches from 60 to 80 cm. The height at the withers is 0.7-0.9 m. The weight of an adult male is from 40 to 65 kg, females are somewhat lighter. The cheetah is listed on the IUCN Red List. The cheetah is listed on the IUCN Red List as a Vulnerable Species - IUCN (VU).

Baboons are known as intelligent monkeys, rivaling chimpanzees in intelligence and desire for social life. They also communicate with people very actively, and never live alone. Groups of baboons consist of 50-80 animals, led by a male. It is easy to recognize a baboon: he walks on all legs, and holds his long tail up at an angle. Baboons live in northern and eastern Africa, in shrouds and steppe regions, and are occasionally found in the mountains if there are reservoirs nearby and suitable places for safe overnight stays. Baboons often visit maize and millet fields, and are not afraid of the proximity of people. Description of the baboon The body length of a baboon is about 75 cm, the tail is 60 cm long. The animal looks awkward, but in fact it is very dexterous and agile. Baboons are baboons from the monkey family. They have a special shape of the skull and an elongated muzzle, and for this reason they are even called dog-headed monkeys. In addition, baboons are known as yellow baboons due to the yellowish-gray hue of their coat. The baboon is unpretentious in nutrition, able to adapt to any food. The main thing for him is to have enough water. During droughts, these monkeys lick the morning dew from plants and even from their fur. The baboon's diet consists of leaves, roots, seeds, fruits, plant bulbs, as well as snails, fish, birds, insects, lizards, mice, and other small rodents. Since these monkeys are very similar in digestion to humans, they often steal a wide variety of food from tourists. The habitat of baboons includes northern and eastern Africa, where animals are found in the steppes and mountains. Large herds often choose maize and millet fields for life, and for this reason often damage crops. In addition, baboons are frequent inhabitants of zoos. Common species of baboon There are five types of baboons: olive, guinea, hakma, yellow baboon and hamadryas or red baboon.

Bullsnakes are the largest snake in Missouri. They are beneficial to farmers because of all the crop-destroying rodents they consume.
