Indian Peacock
The male is called a peacock, the female a
peahen, and the offspring peachicks.
The peacock displays the divine shape of
Omkara when it spreads its magnificent plumes into a full-blown circular form.
Canadian Polar bear
A boar
(adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg . The polar bear is the largest living
species of terrestrial predator.
Polar
bears are superbly insulated by up to 10 cm (4 in) of blubber, their hide and
their fur; they overheat at temperatures above 10 °C (50 °F), and are nearly
invisible under infrared photography.
The
polar bear has an extremely well developed sense of smell, being able to detect
seals nearly 1.6 km (1 mi) away and buried under 1 m (3 ft) of snow.
Due
to their lack of prior human interaction, hungry polar bears are extremely
unpredictable, fearless towards people and are known to kill and sometimes eat
humans
Canada goose
The male usually weighs 3.2–6.5
kg (7.1–14.3 lb), and can be very aggressive in defending territory.
Canada goose is protected in Canada under the
Migratory Birds Convention Act, The calls overhead from large groups of Canada
geese flying in V-shaped formation signal the transitions into spring and
autumn. Canada geese are known for their seasonal migrations. Most Canada geese
have staging or resting areas where they join up with others.
Flying in the V formation has been the
subject of study by researchers. The front position is rotated since flying in
front consumes the most energy.
Canadian Panda
The panda is a bear native to south central
China.
As part of a long-term conservation
partnership agreement between China and Canada, signed by Hu Jintao, President
of China and Mr. Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, China will loan two
giant pandas to two Canadian Zoos (Toronto and Calgary) for a ten year period.
Taking in the pandas is costly. An $800,000
pen upgrade was already planned and will now cost more, the rent on the pandas
is $1 million a year and there's an extra $200,000 charge if a cub is born.
That's all on top of food, which can cost close to $200,000 a year.
Pandas communicate through
vocalization and scent marking such as clawing trees or spraying urine.
