However, actually coconut crab is very exotic and captivating animal. Its claw can peel coconut skins that you already know that skin consists of a stack of coconut fiber that is very thick.<br /><br />Animals that have a Latin name Birgus latro can be found in the areas from the Indian to the central Pacific Ocean. Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean has the largest and best-preserved population in the world. Other Indian Ocean populations exist on the Seychelles, especially Aldabra, the Glorioso Islands, Astove Island, Assumption Island and Cosmoledo, but the coconut crab is extinct on the central islands. They are also known on several of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Large numbers roam freely in the British-owned Chagos Archipelago, also known as the British Indian Ocean Territories (BIOT). They are protected on these islands from being hunted and/or eaten, with fines of up to 1,500 British pounds (roughly $3,000 USD) per crab consumed. On Mauritius and Rodrigues, they are extinct.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;" id="result_box" dir="ltr">Been reported that the animal is able to achieve weight 4 kg and has a body length of up to 40 cm and foot expanse around 200 cm. male coconut crab has larger body than female coconut crab. Front legs have a pair of tweezers for coconut husk, and claw (chelae) can lift objects up to 29 kg . Next two pairs of legs, as in the other hermit crab, is running a big foot and strong of possible Coconut crab swarm the tree (often coconut) vertically at up to 6 m. Pair to four feet with a small claw-like tweezers on the tip, allows young crab hold on the skin or coconut shell coconut slug for shelter; adult animals using this pair legs to walk and swarm. The last leg pair is very small and is only used to clean the respiratory organ.<br /><br />you need to know that the coconut crab can not swim, except when he was still a larvae. the smallest coconut crab will be sink if put in the water.<br /><br />Coconut crab food consists mainly of fruits, including coconut. However, they will eat almost all organic, such as leaves, rotten fruit, eggs, turtle, died animals, and the body shell of another animal, be trusted to provide the calcium. They may also eat live animals that are too slow to flee, as the new turtle hatch. Coconut crab often try to steal food from the crab and other food will be dragged to their hiding place to eat safely. There is typical way to take the coconut crab, crab throw the coconuts to the ground when trying to open the fruit in a tree. Coconut crab make a hole in the coconut with a strong tweezers, ago they eat the contents; behavior is unique in the world of animals.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Birgus_latro_%28Bora-Bora%29.jpg/671px-Birgus_latro_%28Bora-Bora%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 208px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Birgus_latro_%28Bora-Bora%29.jpg/671px-Birgus_latro_%28Bora-Bora%29.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Coconut crab with the size and strength to create fear that has a special place in cultural communities where there is a coconut crab. Coconut crab be admired because of strength, and said that the village people use animals to keep their coconut plant . Coconut crab may attack humans when threatened. Crab that has not fully grown, is also sold as pets, for example in Tokyo. Its cage must be strong enough that coconut crab can not use its tweezers to escape. When someone get squeezed by Coconut crab tweezers , the squeezed not only pain but also strong. Thomas Hale Streets reported the following trick, which is used by the Mikronesa people, in the Line Islands, in order to loosen the Coconut crab squeezed.<br /><br /><i>It may be interesting to know that in such a dilemma a gentle titillation of the under soft parts of the body with any light material will cause the crab to lose its hold.<br /><br /></i>truly incredible animal :)<br /><i><br /></i><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Robber_crab.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 449px; height: 336px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Robber_crab.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This site aimed at informing and conserving the rare animal that has been rare in this world and the possibility of his habitat already increasingly a little and approached the extinction.</div>Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05529890010690909392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751282968049178116.post-48739452484305933412009-04-18T18:13:00.000-07:002009-04-18T18:23:38.170-07:00Javan Leopard Vanishing, The Last Black Panther<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cedargrove.k12.nj.us/cghssports/cghssoccer/black%20panther.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 393px;" src="http://www.cedargrove.k12.nj.us/cghssports/cghssoccer/black%20panther.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Javan Leopard that I myself could not see it directly; currently his existence began to be threatened. Moreover in several conservation areas like the Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) was not found again, these Javan Leopard tracks vanished. The "big possibility that Javan Leopard has disappeared " said Section's" headword of the Protection of the Forest and Conservation of Nature the Kehutanan Service, Kabupaten Lebak, Noerly Edlimar, on Saturday (in March 7.2009). <p class="MsoNormal">Javan Leopard or Black Panther (Panthera pardus melas) that in Indonesian was acknowledged as “Macan Kumbang” was the night animal (nocturnal) they measuring big, had the sharp sight and smelling. Their fur was shiny black as being proper for the beetle, as well as was decorated with the dark feature of spots that only was seen if being affected by the clear rays. These characteristics were also received to Female Javan Leopard, only the Female has smaller size.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They were the skilled to climb the tree. The tree also became their hiding place and put hunting prey especially who had the big body like the dog, deer and the other mammalian kind. This tiger was classified as the loner's animal. Only gathered when the season was married arrived. Javan Leopard was the only one species that available in the Java-Indonesia. Javan Leopard was recorded had never bitten humankind.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You could find some Javan Leopard populations in the Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. And possibly the amount will continue to descend resulting from the conduct of humankind that held the activity like the mining of gold illegally, hunting, expanding forest for home, etc.. Because of that Javan Leopard evaluated as being threatened Extinct in IUCN Red List and was registered in CITES Appendix I. this Fauna was protected in Indonesia, that was included in UU No.5 in 1990 and PP No.7 in 1999.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Kingdom: Animalia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.wherelightmeetsdark.com/images/newswatch/Black_leopard_panther.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 493px; height: 292px;" src="http://www.wherelightmeetsdark.com/images/newswatch/Black_leopard_panther.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Phylum: Chordata</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Class: Mammalia</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Order: Carnivora</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Family: Felidae</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Genus: Panthera</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Spesies: P. pardus</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Subspecies: P. p. melas</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Source :</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macan_kumbang">http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macan_kumbang</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.mediaindonesia.com/cetak/2009/03/03/64006/89/14/Macan_Kumbang_Sulit_Ditemukan_di_TNGHS.html">http://www.mediaindonesia.com/cetak/2009/03/03/64006/89/14/Macan_Kumbang_Sulit_Ditemukan_di_TNGHS.html</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">This site aimed at informing and conserving the rare animal that has been rare in this world and the possibility of his habitat already increasingly a little and approached the extinction.</div>Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05529890010690909392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751282968049178116.post-14734708295439953572009-04-13T21:52:00.000-07:002009-04-18T18:10:01.008-07:00Exotic Blue of Bali Starling<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bali-bird-park.com/images/jalak-bali12.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 402px;" src="http://www.bali-bird-park.com/images/jalak-bali12.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Bali Starling was exotic birds that really admired by birds lover. The tip of the tail and the wings Balinese Starling this was black and in his cheek part to the colored eyes blue clear, a glance apparently like the person that parade by using the paint to his face. The colored part blue clear was not overgrown the hair and birds foots were grayish, this increased the uniqueness from other birds. Male birds and female had the same characteristics. These birds could be only found in the west part of the Balinese forest. <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The person that the first time described Balinese Starling this was Walter Rothschild he is English citizen during 1912 introduced Balinese Starling in the world of science. The name of his now is used for the Latin name of these birds that is (Leucopsar rothschildi)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The fauna of the symbol of the Balinese Province was one of the birds was rarest in the world, and represented the single genus from the kind myna that lived endemic in the Balinese Island in the western part. In the history of the spreading, Balinese Starling birds spread the area at the west of the Balinese Island including in the national park region, the dry savannah forest, and the undergrowth forest (monsoon) in the national park and the garden forest in rural areas. However with the expansion and the plantation of the settlement territory, from each year the Balinese Starling population's being fragmented, and became small populations, that were increasingly decreased.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">In its original habitat, the hunting of Balinese Starling very serious problems as its population estimated decreasing. Moreover, environmental damage that still happening in the National Park Balinese Barat took part in hindering the growth of this bird’s population. It is not surprising when the newest survey that will be carried out early 2005 only found five tails Balinese Starling in the wild.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Balinese Starling breeding seasons usually takes place on October-November; they made the nest in trees, less than 175 cm high. They like the undergrowth and palm trees in the open wild, which bordered into dense forest zone.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.baliwww.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/jalak.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 241px;" src="http://blog.baliwww.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/jalak.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Moreover, in the past sometimes Balinese Starling made the nest in the coconut plantation, close to the settlement of the inhabitants. Its pleasure lived in the open place also made them easy to find and be captured in the wild.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">At this time was based on the census in 2001, the number of Balinese Starling birds in the wild and not more than 6 birds. With the number of populations like that, globally Balinese Starling has been extinct in the wild. For the 10 years period, the population continued to decrease very fast. We should thank to local Indonesian breeder that could breed this bird and save it from extinction. Not surprised if at this time, we couldn’t seen Balinese Starling that flew gathered. Only was found by one or two birds that flew, otherwise it was difficult to had visual appearance of Balinese Starling birds.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Moreover, several years in recent time’s theft efforts have increased and have been accompanied by the Balinese Starling population's robbery in the breeding center area. The biggest robbery was happened during 1999 where totaling 39 Balinese Starling bird succeeded in being plundered from the breeding center of the National Park West Bali.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Bali Starling protected by regulations because of its status already critical, and entered in appendix I CITES.</p> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.baliwww.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/jalak.jpg"><br /></a><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>source :<br /></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://kopipakegula.blogspot.com/2006/04/jalak-bali-riwayatmu-kini.html"><span style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">http://kopipakegula.blogspot.com/2006/04/jalak-bali-riwayatmu-kini.html</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://kopipakegula.blogspot.com/2006/04/jalak-bali-riwayatmu-kini.html"><span style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalak_Bali</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://kopipakegula.blogspot.com/2006/04/jalak-bali-riwayatmu-kini.html">http://www2.kompas.com/kompas-cetak/0509/10/Lingkungan/2036517.htm</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">This site aimed at informing and conserving the rare animal that has been rare in this world and the possibility of his habitat already increasingly a little and approached the extinction.</div>Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05529890010690909392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751282968049178116.post-56338162505382997962009-04-10T07:10:00.000-07:002009-04-18T18:10:22.433-07:00Fast Swimmer Sumatran Tiger<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgckYb8qK2BCSO4AvLjqeTss7Tkb9gABanCBvi3bOMbwHJR9d1hV6-iIIkR2HIg4xue8RqFZS26e6zhjFGrONtI8O1Rkoi_zjFVOkLiR-Rrv8BUzD9_ZeXL3JXYrwf-x3lO2-RVbMSkHRjf/s1600-h/itop_170708040139.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgckYb8qK2BCSO4AvLjqeTss7Tkb9gABanCBvi3bOMbwHJR9d1hV6-iIIkR2HIg4xue8RqFZS26e6zhjFGrONtI8O1Rkoi_zjFVOkLiR-Rrv8BUzD9_ZeXL3JXYrwf-x3lO2-RVbMSkHRjf/s320/itop_170708040139.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323067233449104546" border="0" /></a> used to put its prey that can’t do a fast swim into a corner. The Do you know this Sumatran Tiger can swim? In the first time, I was surprised how this tiger can swim, but Sumatran Tiger has a membrane between its toes, that make light of fast swim. Sumatran Tiger is the smallest of all extant tiger subspecies. Its stripes are narrower than other subspecies of tigers' stripes, and it has a more bearded and manned appearance, especially the males. <p class="MsoNormal">Interesting thing happened when female Sumatran Tiger would born children, its skin become dark green, maybe this one of camouflage thing to distract other predator that can ambush its child. Sumatran Tiger can proliferate anytime without any limitation of season. Female Sumatran Tiger pregnancy takes 103 days, and could born 2 until 3 child, it happened in some research that female Sumatran Tiger could born 6 children in one pregnancy and that a maximum number that Sumatran Tiger could hold.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Actually it’s not so hard to conserve Sumatran Tiger, because this tiger can eat anything in the nature also prey on larger ungulates, like wild boar, tapir and deer, and sometimes also smaller animals, like fowl, and fish. Orangutans could be prey, but since they spend a minimal amount of time on the ground, tigers rarely catch one. <span style=""> </span>According to the local people Sumatran Tiger also take durian (<i>Durio zibethinus</i>) for consumption.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Child Sumatran Tiger has a good independency, its suckle on the mother breast have been only 5 until 6 month, its hunt in 18 month old and life independent in 2 years old.

Since declared as Indonesia’s national bird, the demand of the bird as a status symbol has been subsequently increased in the last decade.<br />Scientific Classification<br />Kingdom : Animalia<br />Phylum : Chordata<br />Class : Aves<br />Order : Falconiformes<br />Family : Accipitridae<br />Genus : Spizaetus<br />Species : S. bartelsi Binomial Name : Spizaetus bartelsi Stresemann, 1924<br /><br /><br />DIAGNOSIS<br />Typical hawk-eagle with prominent crest.<br />Distinguished from adult crested subspecies of Javan Crested Hawk-eagle Pernis ptilorhyncus ptilorhyncus by larger size (60-70 cm versus 50 cm) and the much more prominent crest of S.bartelsi , and the characteristic long narrow head of P. ptilorhyncus. Juvenile plumages of S. bartelsi and P. ptilorhyncus show a confusing resemblance but the latter differs by its short unfeathered tarsus, and long narrow head with weak bill and yellow cere. Other possibly confusing eagles are Changeable Hawk-eagle Spizaetus cirrhatus (larger, just vestigial crest), Rufous-bellied Hawk-eagle Hieraaetus kienerii (smaller, shorter crest, whiter below, dark mask), Aviceda jerdoni (smaller, whiter underparts, bare legs),Wallace’s Hawk-eagle Spizaetus nanus (smaller, tail with three black bands), Sulawesi Hawk-eagle Spizaetus lancoelatus (crestless), Booted Eagle Hieraaetus pennatus (smaller, crestless), See also the description of these species in this guide<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwOgi_3awcEqeYvotwckWc_KqpdJoGuKtbK8RcXL3QIqoEJsHq2fk8kPE6JjAvomAmsOr6965ihtcU9vo_5cl2ctWT4H4LNs0cx98M97nRJY3NGUJeAbHFfDe8HLtTaGWVgP_0FEuBKwp/s1600-h/javan_kid.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwOgi_3awcEqeYvotwckWc_KqpdJoGuKtbK8RcXL3QIqoEJsHq2fk8kPE6JjAvomAmsOr6965ihtcU9vo_5cl2ctWT4H4LNs0cx98M97nRJY3NGUJeAbHFfDe8HLtTaGWVgP_0FEuBKwp/s320/javan_kid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100352691682189298" border="0" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This site aimed at informing and conserving the rare animal that has been rare in this world and the possibility of his habitat already increasingly a little and approached the extinction.</div>Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05529890010690909392noreply@blogger.com0
