The giant anteater is a mammal found in Central and South America. It has no teeth and uses its long, sticky tongue to eat up to 35,000 ants and termites per day. Giant anteaters have sharp claws and fur to defend against predators like jaguars. They are solitary animals that live in grasslands, forests, and swamps, using their keen sense of smell and long tongues to find insect nests for food. Despite their poor vision, anteaters have several adaptations that allow them to survive in different habitats and effectively hunt for insects.

Digestive glands Of Pila globusa
Digestive glands Of Pila globusaAgraniPaudel
Ìý
The digestive system of Pila consists of an alimentary canal and four major digestive glands: salivary glands, hepatopancreas (liver), oesophageal pouches, and buccal glands. The salivary glands secrete mucus and enzymes to break down starch in the buccal cavity. The hepatopancreas is the main digestive gland, containing cells that secrete enzymes to digest cellulose and proteins and resorptive cells that digest proteins intracellularly. The oesophageal pouches and buccal glands also secrete digestive enzymes. Undigested waste is egested through the anus.comparative anatomy of respiratory system.pdf

Snakes are reptiles found on every continent except Antarctica. They have no legs and no eyelids. There are over 3,400 snake species that vary greatly in size, from 10 cm to 9 meters long. Snakes use their forked tongue to smell and track prey. Some snakes can see infrared radiation to detect warm-blooded animals. Snakes are covered in scales and shed their skin periodically. They are carnivorous, eating small animals, birds, eggs or insects. Venomous snakes use venom to paralyze prey, while constrictors kill by coiling around their victim. In colder climates, snakes brumate or become inactive during winter instead of hibernating.More Related Content

Giant anteaters are mammals known for eating ants and termites. They use their long claws to open insect colonies and tree trunks, then use their long, sticky tongue to collect eggs, larvae and adult insects, consuming thousands per minute. Though they mainly eat insects, they may also eat fruit and eggs. Jaguars and cougars prey on giant anteaters, but their main defense is to run away. Humans also threaten anteaters through hunting and vehicle collisions.2 e2 stingray project 2013 (final)

The stingray earned negative attention when Steve Irwin was fatally stung. Stingrays are aggressive and curious creatures with a natural instinct to sting what they contact. Their razor-sharp, serrated stinger attached to their flexible tail allows them to swiftly defend their territory. Stingrays can grow up to 14 feet long and reproduce by giving birth to live young.More from room18shows (20)

The document discusses the giant anaconda snake. It provides details on the anaconda's origin in South America, habitat in rivers and swamps of the Amazon Rainforest, and diet consisting of large prey like deer, pigs, and caiman. Anacondas have few predators, mainly larger anacondas and humans, and can live 10-30 years. They are well-adapted for an aquatic lifestyle with eyes and nostrils on top of the head and powerful muscles for constricting prey underwater or on land.18fatimapinkdolphinwith Out Video

Pink dolphins live in fresh water rivers in the Amazon and Orinoco River systems of South America. They tend to gather at river confluences and live in pods rather than alone. The reasons for their pink coloration are not fully understood but likely involve their skin pigmentation and chemical composition of the water. Pink dolphins eat crustaceans, catfish, crabs, turtles and other small fish. They are large dolphins reaching up to 4 meters long and have a humped back instead of a dorsal fin.Chanels Keynote

Giraffes live in dry, open wooded savanna areas in Africa where the weather is hot and dry. They use their long necks to reach trees like mimosa and wild apricot to feed, and their long legs allow them to run fast from predators such as lions and leopards. Giraffes have adaptations like hard skin that helps them blend in and protects from predators, and they drink a lot of water but are vulnerable while drinking.Kang Keynote

The kakapo is a flightless parrot native to New Zealand. It has adapted to live in an island habitat that is now predator-free, allowing it to find food and build shelters. However, the kakapo is critically endangered with predators such as dogs, possums, and cats previously harming and killing them. Conservation efforts aim to protect the kakapo's forest habitat and remove threats to help save the species.Polar Bears Keynote

Polar bears live throughout the Arctic regions near the North Pole, hunting seals as their primary food source. They use several hunting methods including still hunting at seal breathing holes, stalking seals on land or in the water. Polar bears are perfectly adapted to the harsh Arctic conditions with two layers of fur and thick blubber keeping them warm. Their only natural predators are other polar bears or humans, but climate change now poses the greatest threat to their survival.Jasons Keynote

The platypus is a unique Australian animal that lives in burrows along river banks in eastern Australia. It spends much of the day resting in its burrow but will emerge to sunbathe or clean its fur. The platypus has a soft, leathery snout and fur-covered body that allows it to survive both on land and in water as an excellent swimmer. It feeds and lives up to 12 years in the wild.Jenifiers Keynote

The platypus is a unique semi-aquatic mammal found in eastern Australia's freshwater habitats. It has a hodgepodge of features including a duck-like bill, webbed feet, and a beaver-like tail. Males are also venomous, possessing spurs on their hind legs. The platypus has several adaptations for its lifestyle, such as webbed feet, a waterproof coat, and the ability to sense prey underwater using electroreception. It eats small aquatic animals and insects. Predators of the platypus include foxes, cats, snakes, and birds, but it is able to defend itself using its venom.Jennifers Keynote With Out Video

Dingoes are a unique wild dog found in Australia. They were likely brought to Australia over 15,000 years ago by Aboriginal people. Dingoes can live in almost any habitat in Australia where water is available. They are carnivorous and nocturnal hunters that prey on small mammals, reptiles, and insects. Dingoes have adapted to harsh Australian conditions through their fur, sharp teeth and claws, ability to survive on little water, and long distance communication through distinctive howls.David R Keynote

Tasmanian devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world. They are stocky animals around the size of small dogs, with black fur and white markings. Tasmanian devils are mainly scavengers but will also hunt smaller animals and prey. They have large home ranges that overlap with other devils as they search for food at night. In recent decades, a contagious facial tumor disease has spread among devil populations and threatens their long term survival, with the species now listed as vulnerable.Pink Dolphin

The pink dolphin lives in the rivers of the Amazon rainforest. It has adapted physically to live in these murky rivers, with a long beak to catch prey, small eyes to see better in muddy water, and a flexible body that allows it to swim fast. Though the reason for their pink color is unknown, theories include it being an adaptation to river life or their close capillaries. They face threats from fishing, pollution, and hunting for body parts.Aimee Keynote

The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal found in eastern Australia. It eats small aquatic animals like shrimp, fish, worms, and insect larvae. Platypuses have predators like red foxes, feral cats, water rats, snakes, and birds of prey. They inhabit streams and rivers from Tasmania to Queensland. Adaptations like webbed feet, fur, and electroreception help the platypus swim, stay warm, and find food in its aquatic habitat. Males have venomous hind legs and the female carries eggs that hatch from skin glands rather than laying eggs.Nitas Kookaburra Keynote

Kookaburras are known for their loud, laughter-like calls. They inhabit areas of Australia ranging from savannas to rainforests, where they can easily find food. Kookaburras eat small animals like lizards, snakes, mice and insects. They have adapted strong beaks for building nests and feet that allow them to grasp branches since they are not strong flyers. Their predators include eagles and owls, but they can puff up their feathers to appear larger if threatened. Well-known songs are associated with the kookaburra's calls from the treetops.18kayla

Polar bears primarily live in the Arctic region, with their main habitat being the offshore pack ice. Their diet consists mainly of seals, but they will also eat other Arctic animals or scavenge whale carcasses when necessary. Polar bears have adapted to their icy environment through thick fur that provides camouflage and grip on the snow or ice, as well as rough paw pads that prevent slipping. Their main predators are killer whales in the water and humans on land, both of which pose a serious threat.Dylankynoteaxolotl*2

The Axolotl is a species of salamander that is unique in that it reaches sexual maturity and can reproduce without undergoing metamorphosis from its larval form. It retains external gills and tail fins and lives its entire life in water. Unlike other amphibians, the Axolotl has an incredible ability to regenerate lost limbs or organs like its brain, heart, and spinal cord. The Aztecs revered the Axolotl and it played a role in their ceremonies and medicine, and may have even been traded to help build Mexico City. However, the Axolotl is now critically endangered due to habitat loss and pollution in the few lakes where it remains.Jennifers Keynote
