Animal Planet the Zoo

Animal Zoo

ANOTHER GREAT ASPECT OF ANIMAL ZOOS IS THAT THEY PROMOTE CONSERVATION.

Many people support wildlife conservation via donations and volunteering at animal zoos.

This helps preserve our natural environment against deforestation, pollution, and other threats to wildlife habitat.

We've come a long way towards protecting the wildlife we've already disturbed; however, there's plenty of room for improvement in this regard.

By preserving habitats, we ensure future generations can enjoy wild animals free from human interference.

Animal zoos are educational facilities where animals are kept under strict rules for our safety.

It's a place where we can learn about the habits and characteristics of various animals.

In addition, it helps endangered species and promotes conservation.

We should support animal zoos because they're beneficial to humans and animals.

Animal zozs are a great way of promoting wildlife conservation and educating the public about animal characteristics and habitats.

Many aspects of modern life rely on animal zoo interaction- from food production to entertainment values systems (e.x.

ANIMAS).

Strict laws protect zoo animals from harm while allowing them enough space to live freely.

We've come a long way towards understanding and respecting animals- now it's time to apply that knowledge to the wilds outside of zoo walls as well!

Animal zoos provide a home to many different types of animals.

They keep wild animals in captivity so they can freely interact with humans.

Indigenous animals can be protected and released back to their natural environments after living in captivity for a short time.

Zoos also educate the public on animal conservation, human health, and food production.

People learn from the animals inside animal zoos; this is how we've come to understand and treat our planet responsibly.

ANIMAL ZOOS HAVE MANY POSITIVE FEATURES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND MANKIND IN GENERAL.

One of the biggest benefits is that animal zoos help endangered species.

Animals with low population densities often end up in zoos due to low birth rates or Hunting and poaching.

By keeping animals in zoos, governments can help conserve certain species while giving them space to live freely.

In addition, animal zoos help people understand and treat animals kindly.

People can learn from the animals in zoos and apply that knowledge to their daily lives.

ANIMALS LIVE IN THE WILD AND HAVE MANY NATURAL NEEDS THAT AREN'T MET IN ZOOS.

For example, animals in the wild must hunt for food, choose where to live, and keep themselves clean.

Zoos are set in a controlled environment where animals aren't free to make mistakes or learn how to naturally survive.

Plus, animal

Instead of liberating animals, zoos enslave them by depriving them of necessary conditions for survival.

Some people think that zoos are educational establishments where animals learn to live together in peace and harmony.

However, the truth is that most zoos are impersonal and cold places where animals are kept in cages for public amusement.

Many animal

These animals need to be kept in natural environments where they can live freely and safely.

Zoos should be abolished since they're horrible institutions that exploit animals by depriving them of necessary conditions for survival.

The only way to treat animals ethically is to give them back their natural rights- freedom and respect- in the wild.

Anyone who supports zoos is supporting a cruel manmade environment that is hostile to animals- not in harmony with them - as advertised!

Many people think that animals in zoos are happy and well cared for.

However, zoos are usually very impersonal and mechanized environments.

Animal caretakers don't have time to give individual attention to each animal- they're too busy conserving resources for the entire zoo.

Therefore, animals at the zoo don't receive enough care to make them happy.

In addition, animals are fed unnatural foods like processed grains and vegetable oil which deprives them of necessary nutrients.

Zoos are a horrible place where animals should be kept away from humans so they can live peacefully.

Why Some Birds Dont Migrate

Flying south to escape cold northern winters
is a luxury for the birds, right? Not always. Hey guys, Amy here with DNews, and as you
suffer through the dregs of a ridiculously cold winter youre not alone. Some species
of birds are right there with you, but without the benefit of indoor heating and wool sweaters.
So how exactly do small animals survive harsh winters? Whether or not a given bird species flies
south for the winter depends a lot on what its diet is. If a bird exists largely on flying
insects and nectar it will likely migrate south during the cold seasons since these
food sources arent exactly plentiful in cold weather.

But if a bird lives off seeds
or insects that live under tree bark, it can usually find enough food to spend the winters
in the north, even if the temperatures drop dramatically. But having food doesnt equal warmth. Small
animals have a large surface area compared to their body size. They also cant store
as much fat so they have less insulation.

All this means they are more prone to losing
heat once the cold sets in, and surviving a cold winter is all about preventing heat
loss. Biologists at the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology did some research on the survival skills of these non-migrating
birds and found some interesting things. For instance, some species survive by using the
snow to their advantage. Like the small hazel grouse or hazel hen common in Northern Europe
as well as small rodents like voles and field mice.

These small animals burrow into the
snow, digging out little tunnels to sleep in at night or rest in during the day. The
snows insulting properties mean these animals can focus on finding food and not on surviving
cold nights. For some species, strength comes in numbers.
One of Norways smallest birds, the Eurasian wren, spends cold nights huddled together
under the snow. They can congregate into groups of as many as 60 birds, huddling in layers
to share and conserve vital body heat.

But its not the case that all species make
their own nests to fight off the cold. Some species of tits just take over existing nests,
often fighting over the best sleeping spots at twilight. And some birds have a completely different
way of dealing with the cold: they can actually slow their metabolism and lower their core
temperature to reduce body heat loss. Like willow tits.

These tiny birds can reduce their
body temperature from about 105 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit. They have a finely tuned internal
thermostat that tells the bird to start shivering when its core temperature reaches about 90
degrees. Just the act of shivering produces enough heat to allow the bird to stabilize
its core temperature. Arent you glad you dont have to tough
it out outside all winter? But if you ever have spent a recreation night out in the cold,
how did you stay warm? Let us know in the comments below or you can
let me know directly on Twitter as @astVintageSpace.

Why Bird Penises Are So Weird

This video was sponsored by 23adnMe...And
hi, Im Emily from MinuteEarth. The Argentine lake ducks spiraling penis
extends more than 16 inches. The seagull doesnt have a penis at all. For two animals with so much else in common,
this is a pretty big spectrum  in fact, birds exhibit the biggest range in relative
penis size of any class of vertebrates.

And there are a couple key reasons why. For one, male birds are uniquely set up to
pass helpful sexual traits directly to their sons  traits like showy, mate-attracting
tail feathers or genitalia of certain dimensions. Animals generally hand these kinds of traits
down through their sex chromosomes  but the sex chromosomes male mammals pass on to
their sons is pretty tiny and has relatively few genes. Male birds, on the other hand, have way bigger
sex chromosomes with lots of genes, and therefore have higher chances of passing a mutation
like one for extra-sexy tail feathers  directly to their sons, who in turn can
attract more mates and potentially pass a mutation for extra-extra sexy tail feathers
to their sons, and so on down the line.

In short, male birds comparatively huge
sex chromosomes are the reason much more exaggerated male traits have evolved in birds than in
mammals. Like the lake ducks reeeeally long penis. Male ducks often mate with unwilling females
by force, and it happens that the males with the longest and twistiest genitals are the
most successful, which means the longest-and-twistiest-genital genes keep getting passed down from father
to son. On the other hand, in bird species where less
well-endowed males do better - maybe because females prefer them, or because big genitals
make flight tough - males can end up with small nubs, or even no penises at all.

One other reason the bird penis spectrum is
so big is that its really easy to make a bird penis shrink. A single mutation on the birds large sex
chromosome triggers production of a protein that basically erases the developing embyro's
penis. All it then takes to make the entire species
penis-less is for this mutation to get passed down the line from male to male. But given how the chromosomal arrangement
of birds allows more male traits to change more easily, even penis-less-ness isnt
permanent: the chachalaca, a wild cousin of the chicken, went from having a penis, to
not having one, to growing one again.

Where Do Birds Go In Winter

[MUSIC] In 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard hit the first
birdie on the moon. Not literally, of course. Theres no actual birds up there. But thats not what Charles Morton thought.
In 1703 he published a pamphlet claiming that the reason some birds disappeared during winter
was because they were vacationing on the moon.

Really puts the loon in lunar [MUSIC] Throughout history, people were at a loss
as to why some birds appeared out of nowhere in the spring only to disappear again during
winter, and when it came to explaining why, their common sense flew south. Aristotle figured that certain birds didnt
leave at all, they just changed from one type to another. And a medieval scholar said geese
began life as barnacles, while another claimed they blossomed from trees every spring. The poet Homer accepted the fact that cranes
embarked on great journeys, but instead of seeking warmer weather it was to battle tribes
of mythical goat-riding dwarves at the ends of the Earth.

I am NOT making this up. Fittingly, the answer to this avian enigma
was delivered by a stork. Storks were, and still are, a common sight in Europe during
summer, except most dont have spears hanging out of their necks. After this unlucky bird
was shot in Germany, for a second time mind you, the origin of the spear was traced to
sub-Saharan Africa, proving once and for all that birds spent their winters in warmer climates.
And not the moon.

Birds dont use calendars, as far as we
know, so how do they know when to take off? By tallying observations about their environment
like changes in daylight, average temperatures, and the amount of food that there is to eat,
a biological switch is triggered that tells the bird its time to pack its feathery
bags. These days, scientists use technology ranging
from leg bands to GPS to map their incredible journeys. The arctic tern takes the longest trip of
any bird, covering as much as 50,000 miles in a single year between its Arctic and Antarctic
nesting grounds. Bar-headed geese have to cross over the Himalayas
on their annual journey, the highest migration of any bird.

To survive at those extreme altitudes,
theyve evolved specialized hemoglobin, and like other birds, they have a special
one-way respiratory system that keeps fresh air running through their lungs all the time. The great snipe is a migration speedster,
covering more than 4,000 miles at speeds up to 60 mph, while the bar-tailed godwit completes
its 7,000 mile, eight-day journey across the Pacific without stopping once, powering its
trek by packing on more than half its body mass in fat. One of the worlds most amazing bird migrations
is undertaken by one of the smallest: the ruby-throated hummingbird. Before these petite
pilots embark across the Gulf of Mexico, they too add more than half their penny-sized body
weight in fat too, and during their 600 mile trip, they burn off a quarter of their body
mass in just 20 hours! Its hard to keep weight on when you have to flap your wings
50 times a second.

Flying V! The flying V might be hockeys greatest
formation, but its also a trick to fly more efficiently. When a bird flaps its wings,
it creates a rotating vortex off the wingtip. If the bird behind is in the right place,
it can get a free boost from that updraft. Whats crazy is that birds can somehow sense
where that vortex is, and they actively flap their wings to stay in the sweet spot.

Birds are able to navigate the globe with
amazing accuracy, some returning to the same nesting spot year after year. Pigeons taken
far from home, sealed in isolation chambers cut off from light, outside air and magnetic
fields, were still able to find their way back. Its easy to see how birds might draw
a map, but what about a compass? Some birds have been found to use the sun, and others
the stars. But for many birds, they are the compass.

Tiny iron-rich crystals were discovered in
the eyes and beaks of many birds, and scientists now suspect that these allow birds to sense,
or maybe even see Earths magnetic field. We may have had some bird-brained ideas about
where our where birds disappear to, but thanks to science we know the truth is as good as
any myth. Maybe better. Stay curious..

What Happens to Birds During Hurricanes

[  Intro  ] The 2017 hurricane season sure packed a wallop. Three major storms -- Harvey, Irma, and Maria
-- decimated the Caribbean and the southern US. While the focus has rightfully been on the
impacts to those living in the storms path, you might wonder how other creatures fared. Some species seem to be able to sense the
impending danger and flee.

Landlubbers like us that dont get out of
the way just have to hunker down as best they can. But birds and other airborne animals sometimes
do what sounds like the worst idea ever: they ride things out in the eye of the storm. Meteorologists have witnessed this thanks
to something called dual-polarization or dual-pol radar, which uses pulses of electromagnetic
waves to detect the size and shape of objects in two dimensions. Based on the pattern of the waves, they can
see the proportions of whatevers in the storm  including birds and insects, which
stand out because theyre much less spherical than, say, a raindrop.

And when meteorologists map out what theyve
detected with radar, they often find a bunch of animals inside the eyes of big storms. Heading into a hurricane for safety sounds
pretty bold  and ill-advised. But within the eye, the weather is calm. Its a spot of extremely low pressure, which
helps drive the overall storm, but isnt very windy itself.

It doesnt even have clouds, since the air
in the eye is about 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the storm, and it can hold more
water before condensing. So, all things considered, its relatively
safe for birds and bugs. Not that its an intentional strategy on
their partthey probably dont plan this out. Either the eye forms around them, or they
just happen to find the eye and then end up kinda stuck there.

This especially happens with seabirds. The real danger is running into the eyewall,
the vertical wall of clouds that surrounds the eye, which is the most intense part of
the storm. It has the heaviest rainfall and strongest
winds. Sticking to the eye can work, but it can be
tough to make it through if a hurricane is especially long-lived.

Trapped birds dont have much choice but
to keep flappingthey cant really stop to sleep or eatso this kind of travel can
wear them out. Sometimes they die. And since, you know, a hurricane swept through
their habitat, there may not be much left to come home to. Or, if theyre migratory birds, they can
be blown hundreds of kilometers off course.

In 2005, Hurricane Wilma deposited a flock
of North American chimney swifts in Western Europe. More than 700 of the birds died, and ornithologists
found that the following year, the total population had been cut in half. It can be hard to collect good data on what
happens to birds during and after a storm, as each hurricane is different. But birdwatchers can help with that.

Safety first, obviously, but if you ever see
hurricane birdsspecies well outside of their usual homes during or after a stormyou
can report your observations so scientists can learn more about how animals deal with
tropical cyclones. Its one of the more unusual types of citizen
science. Thanks for asking, and thanks as always to

What Foods are Poisonous to BirdsBudgie Care

Foods Poisonous to Birds There are several foods which should never
be fed to your budgie because they are toxic to birds. This includes avocado, fruit seeds and pits,
uncooked beans, chocolate, mushrooms, tomato leaves and stems, and rhubarb. Many fruit seeds and pits are toxic to birds,
so you should always remove fruit seeds or cut away parts of fruit that touched the pit
before giving any fruit to your budgie (strawberry seeds are okay). You should also avoid giving your budgie any
dairy (milk based) products, as birds cannot digest the lactose in dairy.

Only limited amounts of spinach, chard, or
beet greens should be fed to your bird no more than leaf per week. These greens contain oxalic acid, which bind
to calcium in the digestive system and can cause deficiencies. Dont feed your budgie onion or garlic. If youre sharing with your budgie, small
amounts of garlic or onion in your food is okay.

You shouldnt feed your budgie any more
than very limited amounts of any kind of salty food, sweets, or any foods known as junk
food. Never let your budgie consume coffee, soda,
caffeinated beverages, or alcohol..

WE'RE IN THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE

(Birds hawking) SHUT UP! We think you guys, will be perfect for the roles of Bubbles and Hal. In the new Angry Birds movie, coming out in May. What do you think? Anthony: Can we just have a quick moment to discuss please? Of course. (Foot steps) (Ian and Anthony cheering themselves in the reception room) Ian: Yes, we will do that.

Okay, great! We'll record in two hours. That should give you enough time to prepare, right? (Awkward silence) Anthony: Yes Ian: Indeed (uh oh, what are they going to do now?) (Ian screaming in agony) Ian: No no no! Ian: How am i gonna get ready in two hours? (Pfft) Ian: If only i was good of an actor like Stork Man. Anthony: Stork Man? Ian: Yeah, the superhero with the ability to tell when a woman's in labor. Anthony: (giggles) That sounds terrible! Ian: Hey! He's a god damn American classic! Anthony: Well, i'm personally not worried about it cuz i'm a really really good actor.

Anthony: I mean you saw how good i was in Smosh the Movie, right? Ian: Yeaaaaaaaah (sarcasm, sarcasm) Anthony: Look, i want you to be as good of an actor as me okay? Anthony: So, let me hook you up with my acting coach. Anthony: He's the best method actor i've ever known. Ian: Okay. Anthony: Cool, let me go get him.
