Scorpions easily eat rats
Scorpions are completely carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates such as spiders, crickets, small centipedes, larvae and nymphs of various insects and even small geckos. It finds the location of its prey by means of auditory or tarsal hairs and slit sensilla on its extremities. When a scorpion is feeding, it grabs the prey with its limbs, raises its back abdomen, bends to the front of its body, and stings with a poisonous needle. Composed of six segments, it is a trapezoid, and the back is covered with head armor, which is covered with granular projections. The muscles outside the poison gland contract, and the poison flows out from the opening of the poison needle.
Most scorpions are poisonous enough to kill insects but not fatal to humans, causing only a searing pain. The scorpion uses its pincers to slowly tear open its food, sucking in the body fluids of the prey, then exhaling digestive juices, which are digested outside the body and then inhaled. Eating is slow.

Eagle owls hunt chicks and get another good meal
There are thirteen species of owl on the continent of Europe, but most of them also live in Asia and North America. So they have different Spaces to move around and adapt to their habitat.
In Northern Europe, there are snowy owls, which have been forced farther north than any other owl species, along with the great owl, the ghost owl, and the forest owl.
Europe's largest owl species, the eagle owl is recovering after a century of hunting. Common owls such as long-eared, short-eared and grey-forest owls are among its prey.
The barn owl is probably best known for its love of living in areas cultivated (or inhabited) by humans. The smallest European owl belongs to the caledonian Owl. Slightly larger are the red-horned owl and the long-bellied owl.

The seal baby just woke up, looks a little fat!
The arctic is a extreme climates, even live in the local species, are also needs through constant evolution can adapt, for baby seals, to survive in such a cold environment is also not easy, but fortunately the seal has developed a way to cope with cold, in addition to the eye can see thick fur, Breast milk is also the secret weapon that keeps them healthy and warm.
In the Arctic, newborn babies come in all sizes. When they are born, ringed seals weigh around 4kg, harp seals around 10kg, hooded seals around 20-22kg, and bearded seals around 34kg.
Global warming and the dissolution of Arctic sea ice have led to the development of cold-adapted seals that cannot live in a warming Arctic, making them more at risk of extinction. Not only are polar bears losing their homes, but the seals are also facing a crisis

A closer look at the shy Black Spot Side fold Frog
Black spot side fold frog lives in coastal plain to about 2000 meters above sea level in hills and mountains, common in paddy fields, ponds, lakes, ditches and other still water or slow rivers. During the day hidden in crops, aquatic plants or grass. The black spot side fold frog is good at jumping and swimming. When frightened, it can jump repeatedly into the water, and dive into deep water or burrow into the mud or hide among aquatic plants.

The disappearing freshwater predator -- the Cuban crocodile
Crocodiles have always been at the top of the food chain in areas like freshwater wetlands. Though smaller than other large crocodiles, Cuban crocodiles are among the fastest crocodiles in the world, short-tempered and aggressive, and have fewer webbed toes, giving them explosive action. Cuban crocodiles are black and yellow with powerful jaws that can quickly crush prey. But they are best known for jumping out of the water to surprise small mammals on branches.
The cubanus crocodile has only a small distribution on earth, and with the deterioration of the ecological environment and people's killing of the Cubanus crocodile, many of them were forced to homeless, and eventually killed alive. Another reason for the disappearance of the Cubanus is the interbreeding of cubanus with American crocodiles. To scientists, the two species are morphologically, ecologically, and behaviorally distinct. Increased hybridization of the two species, through genetic erosion of each other, poses a risk for the more unusual Cuban species, which is a real concern for conservation-minded scientists
