= The Black-footed ferret could also be called the Black-eyed ferret because they have black markings on their eyes. Also, they have it on their feet, legs, and tail tip. = = This animal's long slender body, like that of a weasel, allows it to detect in and out of the holes and homes of its primary prey-the prairie dog. = = Many prairie dog towns became ghost towns as populations underwent a 20th century decline. Farmers and ranchers ruin many prairie dogs because their underground complexes are destructive to fields. =

= Populations need viable prairie dog towns to survive, but they also face threats from predators such as golden eagles, owls, and coyotes. = = The illnesses are another major threat to prairie dog towns and to the black-footed ferrets that depend upon them. = = These lonely animals live alone, and in May and June females give birth. The young are able to survive on their own by fall. =

 * Animal || == Vampire Bat == ||
 * Country || == America == ||
 * Habitat || == In the tropics:Mexico,Central America,South America == ||
 * Food || == Blood == ||
 * Dangers || == They are carnivore,and because of humans' development they don't have enough food. == ||
 * Any special characteristics || ==** They are the only mammals that feed entirely of blood. **== ||
 * Other || == Their average lifespan in the wild is about 9 years. == ||

Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but vampire bats have an even more interesting distinction.
== These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows. == == During the darkest part of the night, common vampire bats emerge to hunt. Sleeping cattle and horses are their usual victims, but they have been known to feed on people as well. The bats drink their victim's blood for about 30 minutes. They don't remove enough blood to harm their host, but their bites can cause nasty infections and disease. == **The** **female vampire bats weigth** **35 gr****, while the males wheigth** **40 gr****.**

== Vampire bats tend to live in colonies in almost completely dark places, such as caves, old wells, hollow trees, and buildings. They range in Central to South America and live in arid to humid, tropical and subtropical areas. Vampire bat colony numbers can range in the thousands in roosting sites. The basic social structure of roosting bats is made of harems, which are composed of females and their offspring and a few adult males, known as "resident males" and a separate group of males, known as "nonresident males". In hairy-legged vampire bats, the hierarchical segregation of nonresident males is less strict than in common vampire bats. Nonresident males are accepted into the harems when the ambient temperature lowers. This behavior suggests social thermoregulation. ==

Group name __** :Colony **__
== Size relative to a tea cup __** : **__==

== The body of a vampire bat is 3 1/2 inches, with a wingspan of 7 inches. Though small, they gather in colonies of about a hundred that, within a year, can drink the blood of more than two dozen cows. ==

A typical female vampire bat weighs 40 grams and can consume over 20 grams (1 fluid- ounce) of blood in a 20-minute feed.
== This feeding behaviour is facilitated by its anatomy and physiology for rapid processing and digestion of the blood to enable the animal to take flight soon after the feeding. The stomach lining rapidly absorbs the blood plasma, which is quickly transported to the kidneys from where it passes to the bladder for excretion. A common vampire bat begins to expel urine within two minutes of feeding. While shedding much of the blood's liquid makes taking off from the ground easier, the bat still has added almost 20–30% of its body weight in blood. To take off from the ground, the bat generates extra lift by crouching and flinging itself into the air. Typically within two hours of setting out, the common vampire bat returns to its roost and settles down to spend the rest of the night digesting its meal. ==

=__ OCTOPUS MIMO __=

===** The mimic octopus feeds by covering an area of sand under a disc of webs, using the tips of its arms to move and capture prey. Unlike other octopuses, it visits tunnels in the sea floor to search for food and to conceal itself from predators. **=== ||

 * Dangers ||  ||
 * Any special characteristics || ===**mimics other animals**=== ||
 * Other || ===**Officially discovered in 1998 off the coast of Sulawesi**=== ||

**Something strange that about the mimic octopus is that it can take the forms of a lionfish,a jellyfish,a shrimp,a crab and more than ten other animals.**

**The mimic octopus, Thaumoctopus mimicus, is a species of octopus with a variety of capabilities in mimicry.**
== A mimic octopus mimicking a flatfish. ==

Although all octopuses can change their color and texture, the Mimic Octopus is the first species of octopus has been observed that may mimic other animals.

**The creature will mimic octopus Mimic, it decides where the danger or prey that has put target. For example, when the octopus attacked by a Damselfish, played one sea snake burying six of its arms, and waving the other two in opposite directions.'** **Its length can reach up to 60 cm in length while the normal coloring consists of brown and white stripes and spots.**

=//__ Golden Lion Tamarin __//=


 * Animal || ===**Golden lion**=== ||
 * Country || ===**Brazil**=== ||
 * Habitat || ===**Atlantic coastal forests**=== ||
 * Food || ===**They feed with other animals (eg.baby birds,frogs,lizards,plands)**=== ||
 * Dangers || ===**The forests they live in are dissapearing by human's development**=== ||
 * Any special characteristics || ===**Their heads and bodies are 19 to 22 cm and their tails are 26 to 34 cm**=== ||
 * Other || ===** The golden lion tamarin has a [|mutualistic] interaction with 96 species of plants found in the Atlantic Forest. **=== ||

== Lion tamarins take their name from their impressive manes—thick rings of hair reminiscent of Africa's great cats. The golden lion tamarin may be the most beautiful of the four lion tamarin species. Its abundant golden hair frames a charismatic black face and covers its small body and tail. Despite their name, these rare primates have far more in common with their monkey relatives than any feline. ==



= =

== Golden lions live primarily in the trees. They sleep in hollows at night and forage by day while traveling from branch to branch. Long fingers help them stay aloft and snare insects, fruit, lizards, and birds. ==

== These interesting animals are critically endangered, as are many of the forests in which they live. Brazil's Atlantic coastal rain forests are disappearing due to ever-expanding logging, agriculture, and industry, and unfortunately, the golden lion tamarin is in danger of vanishing with them. == = =
