Madagascar: Home To These Creatures You Never Thought Existed
Posted by johnstocks on January 9th Jhoulys Chacin Venezuela Jersey , 2019




Many animal species, with unique behaviours, abound on this planet, earth. This post will briefly discuss 2 of such unique animal species, one living and the other extinct, that are native to the island of Madagascar. But before we get to that Jhondaniel Medina Venezuela Jersey , let's take a perfunctory look at the country called Madagascar.


Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, with capital and largest city in Antananarivo. The Island is located on the western side of the Indian ocean, or from a different perspective, it is located off the coast, on the southeastern side of the African continent. The island is separated from Mozambique by the Mozambique Channel, the shortest distance between the island and Mozambique.


The 2017 population count puts the population of the island at 25.57 million. French and Malagasy are both official languages of the Republic of Madagascar.


Madagascar Hector Rondon Venezuela Jersey , unfortunately, is known to be one of the poorest countries in Africa with 90% of the population living under per day.


The Island Comprises rainforest, beaches, and reefs, and is home to many animals species, including the lemurs Gregory Infante Venezuela Jersey , that may not be found anywhere in the world. Two of this species will now be discussed


Let begin with the living species, the Madagascar Pochard.




The Madagascar Pochard


This is the rarest bird species in the world. This bird species was believed to have gone extinct when it wasn’t seen in 15 years. Fortunately, the small group of birds, about 25, were discovered on a remote part of the island of Madagascar. These are, according to researchers Franklin Morales Venezuela Jersey , the last 25 birds of this species on earth.


This duck species are said to be on the brink of extinction due to, for example, sedimentation, invasive species, pollution, poor agricultural practices just to mention these few.


Fortunately Francisco Rodriguez Venezuela Jersey , Conservationists are working tirelessly to protect the remain species. Relatively recently, 21 species of the birds have been released into a lake in the north of Madagascar, which is quite comforting news.


The next animal on our list of discussion is another type of bird that is said to have gone extinct.


Elephant Bird


This is the largest but extinct bird known to man. The bird, measuring about 10 feet tall, is said to be flightless and nocturnal--almost blind and is also said to prefer the forest environment. The most distant relative of the bird species is the kiwi bird, a chicken-sized inhabitant of New Zealand. The Kiwi species is also said to have a nocturnal lifestyle (practically blind). This living relative is serving as a proxy for scientists to use to better understand the behavior of the elephant bird.


Unfortunately Felix Hernandez Venezuela Jersey , this marvel of nature, the elephant bird, is said to have gone extinct about 500 to 1000 years ago due to human influence, via hunting of the birds, and their potential habitat loss.


But why are these birds so unique to this island, one might wonder?




Well Eduardo Rodriguez Venezuela Jersey , the reasons are not so far-fetched as scientists have deduced that the general isolation of an island is responsible for the uniqueness of many of these native islands animal species.


And this does make sense because if there is no form of migration or interaction between two or more distinct locations then everything is bound to be restricted, including animal diversity.

Security In Your Home

Physical security is very important to a home owner. Your home is one of your most important possessions since this is where you and your loved ones reside.


Once you know that your home is safe from intruders, you can rest assured that your material and personal possessions as well as your loved ones, are secured.


There are several parts of your home that you need to secure by using electronic devices:


- The perimeter of your house to prevent burglars from intruding on your home.


- Enclosed areas within the house should be secured as well, in case of fire.


- Your garage should also have an intruder alarm to protect your vehicles Deolis Guerra Venezuela Jersey , aside from the anti-theft device on the car itself.


It does not matter what style of life you lead. Home security should be and essential part of your budget to give you peace of mind. In addition to providing physical security in the home, your home security system should also help you find help should an emergency ensue.


Here are some tips when planning for the security of your home:


1. Make an initial survey of your house and from there, develop a home security plan.


Check all of the rooms and the area outside of your house. Determine if the neighbors have a clear view of what is going on within your house.


Having a very open area that can be easily observed by anyone from the outside may be a threat to your security.


2. When placing burglar alarms or intruder sensors, place them in strategic areas in and out of your house.


Home security need not be expensive. You do not need to put in alarms and sensors on each and every part of the house.


As long as they are installed on the proper places, then your house will be secured enough.
