Grey wolves into the National Park

The wolves were brought in because the increased elk population was overgrazing the deciduous, woody species such as aspen and cottonwood.

Snakes

There are four species of snake on Crete. None of them pose any threat to people. If you go hiking, a snake might dart across your path but they are shy animals and flee from people.

The most beautiful snake on Crete is the European ratsnake,which is nonvenomous. Your will easily recognise it from its markings: red to red/brown blotches with black borders on a grey or yellowish background. They grow up to a maximum of 1 - 1.2 metres in length and mostly eat young mice, lizards and insects. The females lay 3-8 eggs, mostly under stones.

Mammals only to be found on Crete
Two very rare, endemic mammals (meaning they are only found on Crete) are the Cretan wildcat (felis silvestris), of which only a few animals are left, and the Cretan shrew (croccidura zimmermanni). Other mammals living on the island include rats, hares, rabbits, martens, hedgehogs, badgers, stoats and bats. There are no foxes, which is why the island is also free of rabies.

Aquila fasciata, characteristic eagle, less than golden eagle. It nests in gorges, which are rarely removed. He is also known as the "brother-in-law", because the male and the female usually hunt together.

Alcedo atthis, which responds to the South Aegean Sea in the winter (November-February) on coasts, harbors and river banks. It feeds on fish, often too large for its size and is a very good whim. It does not host in the winter, during the famous 'Alkyonid days' but relatively late at night.

Example of parasitic organism 1

Mosquitoes (alternate spelling mosquitos) are a group of about 3500 species of small insects that are a type of fly. Within that order they constitute the family Culicidae (from the Latin culex meaning "gnat"). Mosquitoes have a slender segmented body, a pair of wings, three pairs of long hair-like legs, feathery antennae, and elongated mouthparts.
Mosquitoes diverged from other insects about 226 million years ago. Fossils of primitive mosquitoes have been found that are over 90 million years old; fossils similar to modern mosquitoes, 79 million years old; fossils identical to modern mosquitoes, 46 million years old. The life cycle consists of the egg, larva puppa, and adult. Eggs are laid on the water surface; they hatch into motile larvae which feed on aquatic algae and organic material; pupae are breathing non-flying primitive adults. Females of most species have tube-like mouthparts skin of the host (colloquially but incorrectly referred to as a "bite") in order to extract blood, which contains protein and iron needed to produce eggs.

Cymothoa exigua, or the tongue-eating louse, is a parasitic isopod of the family Cymothoidae. This parasite enters fish through the gills, and then attaches itself to the fish's tongue. The female attaches to the tongue and the male attaches on the gill arches beneath and behind the female. Females are 8–29 millimetres long and 4–14 mm in maximum width. Males are approximately 7.5–15 mm long and 3–7 mm wide.The parasite severs the blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. It then attaches itself to the stub of what was once its tongue and becomes the fish's new tongue.

Organisms that share the same food and the way that they manage it

As an example of niche partitioning, several anole lizards in the Caribbean islands share common food needs—mainly insects. They avoid competition by occupying different physical locations. For example, some live on the leaf litter floor while others live on branches. Species who live in different areas compete less for food and other resources, which minimizes competition between species. However, species who live in similar areas compete strongly.

Species in Crete that appear on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

The kri-kri (Capra aegagrus cretica), sometimes called the Cretan goat, Agrimi, or Cretan Ibex, is a fereal goat inhabiting the Eastern Mediterranean, previously considered a subspecies of wild goat. The kri-kri is now found only on the island of Crete, Greece and three small islands just offshore.The kri-kri has a light brownish coat with a darker band around its neck. It has two horns that sweep back from the head. In the wild they are shy and avoid humans, resting during the day. The animal can leap some distance or climb seemingly sheer cliffs.

The Cretan wildcat is a member of the genus Felis that inhabits the Greek island of Crete. Its taxonomic status is unclear at present, as some biologists consider it a European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris), others consider it probably introduced, or a hybrid between domestic cat and European wildcat.Felis silvestris cretensis was proposed as scientific name for the Cretan wildcat in 1953 by Theodor Halternoth. He described two cat skins that were purchased in a bazaar in Chania and resembled a skin of an African wildcat(Felis lybica lybica), but with a bushy tail like a European wildcat.

Wildlife overexploitation in Crete for the food industry

The wild boar (Sus scrofa), also known as the wild swine,Eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to much of Eurasia, North Africa and the Greater Sunda Islands. Human intervention has spread its distribution further, making the species one of the widest-ranging mammals in the world, as well as the most widely spread suiform.

The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domestic silkmoth, Bombyx mori. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even osage orange. Domestic silkmoths are closely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding. Wild silkmoths are different from their domestic cousins as they have not been selectively bred; they are not as commercially viable in the production of silk.
Bombyx mori is an incredibly important species to humans because we rely on their silk for our textile and clothing industries. For many years, China had a monopoly on the benifits of this industrious animal. In fact, Bombyx mori are one of the few animals that carried the death penalty as a punishment for smuggling them out of their native country (Lepidoptera Part 2 1997)

Comparison my BioArea with the BioAreas of other learners

delitenia — 2019-01-09 21:02:09 UTC

It was an excellent experience as I learned more about the biodiversity of my area but I was also informed about biodiversity and the ecosystem of other areas in different 
countries. Now, when this trip was completed, I compared my findings with the findings of other co-learners, like Elpida' s BioArea, Eleeuwerck BioArea, Mayanja Moses BioArea and Apostolos Christopoulos BioArea. Elpida's BioArea looks quite interesting with good information and pretty well-structured contenτ. While Εleeuwerck BioArea seems to need little more effort. Mayanja Moses BioArea seems to be on the right track as his posts are interesting, while Apostolos Christopoulos BioArea seems to have worked a lot, but his posts are not enough on the basis of what we were asked for.

this is great, please you can also read through mine and comment

I do like your work,it is interesting
