Black-footed ferret

c
Is a family of weasels, otters and badgers, and as
many members of his family, these ferrets have
an elongated body with short legs.

Its fur is yellowish brown with some of the paler


belly. The forehead, mouth and throat are white,
while their feet are black, hence its name.
It is a small carnivorous mammal that has a diet
consisting 90% of prairie dogs, the remainder in
rats, mice, birds, squirrels, rabbits and sometimes
reptiles and insects.

They are nocturnal and spend most of their time


in underground burrows. Not hibernate, but in the
cold season decreases its activity.
The species has declined over the last century to
near extinction in the 70's, mainly due to the
control of prairie dogs and wild pests.

The white shark or great white shark is a species


that is poorly represented but widely distributed.

Reliable data show that its population has


declined, although due to the wide range of
distribution of this species, it is impossible to
know how many white sharks there are roughly
even.
These sharks are very active, powerful and a
swimming mode that allows them to swim
efficiently for long periods of time relatively slow.
They can quickly change the speed and abrupt
maneuvers, and sometimes jump out of water.

White sharks live in coastal areas on the


continental shelf where there is plenty of light and
food, but occasionally moves deeper waters.
Where there is living in areas of the Arctic and
Antarctic, as they could not withstand the cold.

feed on porpoises, dolphins, and pinnipeds such


as seals, northern elephant seals, California sea
lions and other species. They also consume
carrion, including large whales, mammals,
slaughterhouses and other sources, and rarely in
humans. Between squid and other invertebrates
are gastropods and crabs. Sometimes trash is
found in their stomachs, but is rare.

They have a very low reproductive potential with


late maturity and few young and high vulnerability
to capture in nets by accident and both
commercial and sport fishing because the fins,
jaws and teeth have a high commercial value to
collectors. Also using meat and liver oil, fish meal
is made, leather and fins soup. The use of shark
films have given a bad reputation has increased
the value of shark products in the illegal market,
difficult to assess and control.

El tiburón blanco o gran tiburón blanco es una especie que aunque poco representada se
encuentra ampliamente distribuida.

Los datos fiables demuestran que su población ha disminuido, aunque debido al amplio rango de
distribución de esta especie, es imposible saber el número de tiburones blancos que existen
aunque sea de forma aproximada.

Estos tiburones son muy activos, potentes y con un modo de natación que les permite nadar de
manera eficiente durante largos períodos de tiempo a velocidad relativamente lenta. Pueden variar
su velocidad rápidamente y maniobrar bruscamente, e incluso a veces saltar fuera del agua.

El tiburón blanco vive en zonas costeras en la plataforma continental donde abunda la luz y el
alimento, aunque ocasionalmente se mueve por zonas más profundas. Donde no vive es en las
zonas del ártico y antártico, ya que no podrían aguantar el frío.

se alimentan de marsopas, delfines, y pinnípedos como focas, elefantes marinos del norte, leones
marinos de California, y otras especies. También consume carroña, incluidos los grandes cetáceos,
mamíferos de mataderos y otros orígenes, y rara vez de seres humanos. Entre los invertebrados
hay calamares y otros gasterópodos y cangrejos. A veces se ha encontrado basura en sus
estómagos, pero es raro.
Tienen un muy bajo potencial reproductor con madurez tardía y pocas crías y alta vulnerabilidad a
la captura en las redes de manera accidental y a la pesca tanto comercial como deportiva debido a
que las aletas, mandíbulas y dientes tienen un alto valor comercial para coleccionismo. Además
utilizan su carne y el aceite de hígado, se hace harina de pescado, cuero y sopa de aletas. El uso
del tiburón en películas que le han dado mala fama ha aumentado el valor de los productos del
tiburón en el mercado ilegal, difícil de evaluar y controlar.
