         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>In the deciduous forest, trees change color of the leaves throughout the seasons. In springtime, the trees grow new leaves that they had shed over the winter. In the summer the leaves are green. During autumn, the leaves change color because the tree is taking all the sugar from it. During the winter, the leaves fall off because it is no longer needed and grows back again in the spring.<br><br>VEGETATION:<br>Deciduous forests are home to trees such as oak, birch, beech, aspen, elm and maple.<br>Trees provide a home for other plants in the deciduous forest. Climbing vines such as poison ivy use tree trunks as support, and lichens and mosses grow on trees outer bark.<br>Underneath the trees, plants in the deciduous forest are divided into several layers of growth. <br>The first is the <em>shrub layer </em>such as azaleas, below the shrub layer grows the <em>herb layer </em>such as bluebells <em>and </em>finally, lichens, fungi and mosses grow on the <em>ground layer</em> of the forest, taking in nutrients from the wet soil.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>ZOOLOGIST.</div><div>There is a variety of animals that you could find in the Tundra such as Polar bears and a Red Fox</div><div> </div><div>There are 8 main types of animals that live in the Tundra. <br><br></div><div> There is Red Foxes that you could find in every continent except for Antarctica. They are completely red except for the tip of its tail is white. They  are more active at night.<br><br></div><div>The second type of Animal is a Wolverine. This Wolverine is one of the most dangerous animals.  It looks like a grizzly bear. <br><br></div><div>The third type of animal is a Canada lynx .They have long legs and broad paws which has been proven to help them walk through the snow easier. <br><br></div><div> Another species found in the tundra is the Beluga whale. They live in a range from the Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia. They have been now classified as endangered animals.<br><br>. The fifht species in the Tundra is a Atlantic Puffin. They are found in part of Maine, Europe, and the Arctic Circle. They are carnivores .  <br>  </div><div>Arctic Hares are found in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. These animals are interesting because they change their coat to white in the winter to be able to blend in with the snow. They are mammals and are Omnivores.<br><br></div><div>The Polar Bear. They have been classified as dangerous. They usually feed on seals. They are mammals and carnivores. </div><div>They have also been known to be great swimmers.<br><br></div><div>Narwhals are sea animals that live in cold climates. They have a interesting nickname that is unicorn of the sea because of their long tusk. They can been found in Greenland and Canada. <br><br></div><div>The Caribou its like a reindeer. Caribou can be found in northern and southern Alaska, Canada, Russia, and Greenland. They are mammals and herbivores. They are  endangered. <br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>BIOLOGIST<br><br>Lowering these latitudes you can find coniferous forests (in the Northern Hemisphere spruces) with some dwarf betulaceae (that is, taiga), in the Southern Hemisphere with forests and cold rain forest of phagaceae followed by southern conifers.<br><br></div><div>There are also biomes similar to those of tundra due to the effect of height (moorland), as in Tibet and at various levels of mountains around the world, as occurs in tropical areas of Peru and Bolivia.<br><br><strong>VEGETATION</strong><br>Plant life is exposed to low temperatures which makes it difficult for it to survive due to the difficulty in obtaining water, which is frozen for most of the year. Furthermore, the<br><br></div><div>mineralized organic material is very poor due to the low decomposition rate of the organic material. In tundras where temperatures are below 10 ° C in the coldest month and annual periods without ice for less than 3 months, tree growth is impossible, so common plants are mosses and lichens, which do not exceed 10 cm. high, thanks to strong winds that make them stay close to the ground.<br><br></div><div>Typical Arctic vegetation is made up of deciduous grasses and dwarf shrubs from the ericaceae family, along with moss and lichen associations. These plant communities are adapted to strong winds and ice disturbances in the soils. They can all photosynthesize at low temperatures and with low light intensity during long periods of daylight in the tundra.<br><br></div><div>Mountain plant communities are made up of tangled plants that do not occur in the Arctic. These plants adapt to gusty winds, heavy snowfall and large thermal fluctuations. They photosynthesize under very intense light during short periods of sunlight.<br><br><strong>FAUNA</strong><br>The fauna, in the tundras, has the need to protect themselves from the cold, for this the different organisms have different ways to protect themselves from the cold depending on their temperature regulation. Thus, some animals develop a dense coat and accumulate a large amount of subcutaneous fat, their surface volume ratio is as small as possible in order to isolate themselves from the cold. Among the animals we can find herbivores, such as caribou, reindeer, musk ox, arctic hare, snow goat and lemming, and carnivores, such as the white bear (in the extreme north) wolf, gyrfalcon, kodiak bear and the snowy owl; salmon are, to a large extent, the base of the food web for the fauna of this biome. Animal life is particularly sensitive to the destruction of its environment, being directly affected by excessive hunting, which can lead to the extinction of any animal or plant species in this fragile and interdependent biological community.<br><br><strong>CLIMATE</strong><br>The tundra's climate is characterized by its harsh winters, low temperatures, little rain or snowfall and short summers. For example, the monthly average of Baffin's Earth temperatures ranges from 7 ° C to -31 ° C and the annual average is -12 ° C. In the interior of the continents the temperatures tend to be extreme, so there is no variation in the annual averages.<br>The combination of frozen soil and flat surfaces of the tundra prevents the drainage of water, which stagnates on the surface or saturates the upper layer of the terrain. Lagoons and swamps are formed that provide moisture to the plants, which compensates for the low rainfall.<br><br></div><div>Periodic freezing and thawing of the soil in the best-drained places produces regular cracks in the soil that form polygons. Where drainage is worse, rough, irregular shapes appear, with mounds, frozen nodules and earth cords. In summer, the melting of the slopes can cause the soils to slide and produce terraces caused by solifluction or landslides.<br><br></div><div>All these models described for the arctic tundra appear on a smaller scale in the alpine tundra. The landscape of bare rock covered with lichens is also common, which is called the paramo. These landforms promote a series of small habitats that give variety to the landscape of the tundra.<br><br><br></div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><mark> SAVANNAH: ZOOLOGIST</mark><br><br>In the Savannah, we can find many animals.</div><div>A large amount of large-sized herbivores live in the savannah: zebras, antelopes, giraffes, rhinoceroses, elephants.<br>The carnivores of the savannah are:<br> lions, hyena-dogs, hyenas and jackals. They hunt in groups according to specific strategies. </div><div>The savannah is also inhabited by large birds: the Ratitae (ostrich, rhea), great bustard, guinea-fowl and marabou. Also, in the savannah, we can find many insects like: ants, termites and grasshoppers. These animals feed on local vegetation.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>List of Savannah Predators</strong></div><ul><li>African Lions - are amazing predators that are at the top of the savannah food chain. They live in groups called prides and play an important role in the food chain.</li><li>Cheetahs - are the fastest land animals on earth. Its speed and maneuverability make it one of the most dangerous predators roaming the savannah.</li><li>Spotted Hyenas - are common scavengers found on the African savanna, often feeding off of the scraps of animals killed by larger predators.</li><li>African Wild Dogs - are highly intelligent predators that roam the savannah hunting in packs.</li><li>Black Mambas - are one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. Its bite injects enough venom to kill twelve people within 1 hour.</li><li>Leopards - are formidable predators. These cats are much smaller than lions and will avoid competing with lions for prey. </li></ul><div><br></div><div><strong>List of Other African Savannah Animals</strong></div><ul><li>African Elephants - are the largest living land animals on earth. Male African elephants can reach a weight of 7.5 tons.</li><li>Zebras - are an easily recognizable animal of the savannah. Black and white stripes serve as camouflage for these animals that resemble small horses.</li><li>Thomson's gazelles - Their great speed and agility make them a hard catch for the numerous predators of the savannah.</li><li>Double-horned rhinoceros - also called black rhinoceros. These plant eating animals are extremely strong and their bodies are covered with thick tough skin; few predators dare attack this animal.</li><li>Wildebeests - These animals travel in herds of thousands and are an important food source for many of the savannah's predators.</li><li>Giraffes - This animals height, including its long neck, enables it to reach and eat leaves high on top of trees.</li><li>African white-backed vultures - can be seen over the savannah looking for scarps of meat from kills of such animals as lions and wild dogs.</li></ul><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We can find a lot of deserts in the world like the Sahara where we can find Yellow scorpions, their bites can kill you, Dorca Gazzels which in groups can kill a Jackal, African crocodiles which are very agressif, Camels and Dromedaries which are use as transport. In America we can find the Mexican Desert where we can find Dingos which kill Wombats and Roadrunners or Coyotes which became famous thanks to its cartoons. Did you now that there is a desert in Antartica? Yes there is and we can find Sea Elephants, fascinating creatures which look like seals. There are very little variety of animals in the deserts because there is little vegetation and precipitation. These animals have to support extreme temperatures.</div>]]></description>
