Excerpt: Chelonia mydas, known as the Green sea turtle, is a large sea turtle belonging to the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in the genus Chelonia. The range of the sea turtle extends throughout tropical and subtropical seas around the world, with two distinct populations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Their common name derives from the often green fat found beneath their carapace. The Green Sea Turtle is a sea turtle, possessing a dorsoventrally-flattened body covered by a large, teardrop-shaped carapace and a pair of large, paddle-like flippers. It is usually lightly-colored, except that its carapace's hues range to almost black in the Eastern Pacific. Unlike other members of its family such as the Hawksbill Sea Turtle and Loggerhead Sea Turtles, Chelonia mydas is mostly herbivorous. The adults commonly inhabit shallow lagoons, feeding mostly on various species of seagrass. Like other sea turtles, they migrate long distances between feeding grounds and hatching beaches. Many islands worldwide are known as Turtle Islands for the Green Sea Turtle that nest on their beaches. Females haul out onto beaches, dig nests and lay eggs during the night. Later, hatchlings emerge and walk into the water. Those that reach maturity may live to age 80 in the wild. Chelonia mydas is listed as endangered ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2150513 ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Les anacondas (Eunectes sp.) sont des serpents aquatiques constricteurs non venimeux de la famille des boas. Ils comprennent quatre espèces que l'on trouve dans les marécages et les fleuves des régions tropicales d'Amérique du Sud ainsi que dans les marécages du sud de l'île de Trinidad. L'anaconda jaune peut être trouvé jusqu'en Argentine. Il y a trois origines possibles pour le mot anaconda : il pourrait s'agir d'une altération du mot cingalais henakanday (serpent tonnerre), ou alors du mot tamoul anaikondran (tueur d'éléphant). Il est étonnant que le mot ait une origine aussi lointaine du lieu d'habitat de l'animal ; il se pourrait que le nom soit lié à la vague similarité de l'anaconda avec les pythons d'Asie. Toutefois, il semblerait que le terme "anaconda" provienne des Indiens d'Amazonie et signifie "serpent guerrier de l'onde". Le nom scientifique du genre Eunectes dérive du grec ancien Eυνήκτης et signifie « bon nageur ». Parmi les quatre espèces, les deux plus connues sont : Les deux espèces les moins connues sont : Un record officiel fait état d'un anaconda qui mesurait 30 centimètres pour un poids de plus de 235 kilogrammes , qui fut découvert au Venezuela durant les années 1960... Les anacondas ont la réputation d'avoir mauvais caractère. De plus, leur taille massive explique que les anacondas sont moins populaires que...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
