Interesting & Amazing Information About African Buffalo

African buffaloes live in groups of large numbers, which often go as high as 2000 members. Members of the same subgroup stay together and sleep by resting their heads on one another.

The horns of an African buffalo are wonderful indicators of its age and gender. A large adult male has a hard shielding, which protects the base of its skull. This is absent in case of females and young male buffaloes.

These buffaloes always stay at close proximity of a water source. Particularly in the dry season, when they feed on the dried grasses, they take care to stay close to water.

Though African buffaloes share a number of similarities with the Asian water buffaloes, they belong to an entirely different species.

Like Zebras, these buffaloes feed on tall, coarse grasses. While eating, they make use of their tongue and wide incisor row, to feed on the grass quickly.

African buffaloes are highly dangerous and are more likely to attack when injured or cornered.

These buffaloes are well-equipped with self defense mechanisms. Other than humans, they have very few predators, like lion, leopard and spotted hyena. However, even the mighty lions need to group up, to bring down a single buffalo.

African buffaloes fight together against a common predator. They always stay together in a herd, making it difficult for the predator to choose one member out of the group.

These buffaloes mate strictly during the rainy season. Their reproductive period starts from the age of five years.

New born calves remain hidden in vegetation for the first few weeks, before joining the main herd. During this time, their mothers nurse them.

The bond between the mother and child continues for a year or two. The male calves usually leave their mother when they are two years old and join the bachelor group.

African buffaloes have lots of hair on their body. The adult buffaloes lose hair as they age.

Diseases like bovine tuberculosis are a great threat to the African buffaloes. However, the national parks of Africa are taking precautionary measures to protect these buffaloes from this disease.

From Starry Nights to Starry Seas: The Beauty of Our Universe

Stars and starfish do they really look alike? There are thousands of sea star species as there are stars in the sky.  Are there any similarities between the stars in the universe and the starfish deep in the oceans and beautiful beaches here on earth? Guess what; there are about 2,000 species of sea stars.  Do all stars have five sides? As far as star fish are concerned, it’s a fact that all sea stars do not have 5 arms.

The beautiful five-armed varieties of sea star are the most well known starfish to mankind and on the other hand the sun star for instance which is also a starfish or sea star has up to 40 arms.

While many people always wish for the star some people would like to see a starfish while having a good time on the beaches early in the morning just to make their day.

Starfish or Sea stars are Echinoderms.

Sea stars as many people call them just because they are found in the sea belong to the Phylum Echinodermata. As a matter of fact the starfish is related to sand dollar, the sea urchins and the sea cucumbers. The amazing facts about echinoderms is that all echinoderms have five-point radial symmetry. That’s why starfish also have five sections as far as their bodies are concerned which radiate from a central disk.

Cosmic Wonders: Discovering the Secrets of the Universe

As there are many stars in the universe, there are also a lot of starfish varieties or species as well. While the heavenly stars are huge in size and illuminate the earth with different radiant lights, the sea stars down hear on earth are as beautiful as your eyes can picture the starfish. While the deep oceans have a lot of beautiful animals, you find that there are many dangerous sea creatures which feed on starfish or one another while other animals or sea creatures depend on the sea weeds and plants which grow on the sea bed. 

Sea stars protection mechanism

With over 2000 species of starfish in the world, different types of starfish have different body texture. Some starfish species have a skin which resembles leather to the touch and it may feel or slightly prickly. At the same time Sea stars protect themselves with their tough outer covering body on their upper side made up of calcium carbonate with tiny spines on their surface. With many predators lingering around ready to make a meal out of any unsuspecting starfish, the sea star's spines are used for protection from predators. Whether on the beach, deep in the water or just on the coastline starfish attacks are always common with birds, fish and sea otters.

Starfish and Stardust: A Celebration of Nature's Beauty

If you’re very keen and walk along the beaches in the early morning hours when the tide is low, you will be amazed to see sea stars or starfish of different sizes which have been washed by the dangerous currents. You will be amazed to know that starfish or sea stars are found almost everywhere there is an ocean. These beautiful star like fish common in intertidal zones. The shy sea stars or well accustomed to the deep sea or oceans are home to the deep waters. Both north and south in the tropical areas and in the world regions, these are also home to the starfish and you fill find that starfish come in different sizes despite their different natural habitat. Starfish of different colors you can ever imagine. With the abundance of starfish or sea star species, these beautiful animals came in different shapes and sizes and what is common about all sea stars or starfish is that they all resemble a star.

Starfish Secrets: Uncovering the Mysteries of These Enigmatic Creatures

Are starfish really dangerous? Can starfish really bite someone? Unless you venture out in the sea star world then can you only experience things like that first hand? While may people have little or no information about starfish, it’s always difficult to know the kinds of starfish found in a particular habitat or beaches around them. There are many amazing facts about star fish. Sea stars or starfish as far as biology is concerned it says that starfish are not fish.

Despite the fact that sea stars live underwater and are commonly called "starfish," they are not fish as many people will have thought. The fact about starfish is that these sea stars have no gills, scales, or fins. At the same time starfish to not have tails and their movement is not as the same like many fish do

Starfish and Stardust: A Celebration of Nature's Beauty

Imagine your hands touching a starfish. Most starfish as cool and gentle as they can be are always smooth. The sea stars are generally covered with somehow spines not as sharp as the ones of a hedgehog but dangerous enough to make you scream when you step on one accidentally. Remember these sea creatures can be as elusive as any other creeping and crawling animal in the world. The starfish with a blessing of different colors can blend with their natural surroundings and hide from their enemies or other fish or creatures of prey. While as long as the starfish are in water, their lower side is always soft as they have all their tinny little limbs to walk with and to grab food with while moving around. These tinny starfish legs are as hard working to make sure the mouth is fed for as long as there is movement in the water.

The starfish with many legs but not strong enough to run away from its natural predators, the starfish when in danger would protect itself from its enemies by slowly hiding in any nearby rock in the seabed. The starfish also finds refuge in cracks of the corals along the rocky beaches and lives one day at a time. Not many animals have the capability of losing a limb and yet live to let it grow another day. Just like a lizard which loses its tail when it has been caught and leaves it jumping wriggling here and there, the starfish has the same mechanism of losing one of its limbs or arms. One of the stars or limb of the starfish will break and this helps the starfish to dig dip in the sand or gives it time to hide in the crevices. How soft is a starfish? This is one of the most asked questions about starfish. If a starfish can break its limb, this just goes one way to show how amazing starfish are given their brittle way of life in the deep and shallow treacherous waters we cherish while on the beach.

Under the Sea and Above the Sky: A Journey Through Starfish and Stars

The main organs of Sea stars are located in their arms. With many wonders of nature some of the starfish can even regenerate an entirely new sea star from just one arm and a portion of the star's central disc and take almost a year for the starfish’s arm to grow back.

As creatures of the sea, survival for the fittest is the game of the day in the sea world . Having to detect and spot your enemy is of great essence as well. Its amazing to note that these beautiful Sea stars have eyes just like the creatures of the deep see. With a very simple eye located at every end of each arm, the starfish eye is not as powerful as it should be. The sea stars can sense light and darkness which could just be enough to make it escape from its prey.

While many of the sea creatures have blood Sea stars do not have blood which proves that they are not fish as people would have thought. When starfish are attacked, they secrete the internal fluid in their water vascular system, in which the sea star pumps sea water through its sieve plate, or madreporite, into its tube feet to extend them just like a jellyfish does with all its tentacles which make it be able to move around even sometimes against the ocean currents. With miniature hundreds of feet, the starfish uses this tube like feet to move around by sucking water and sieving it thereby giving it a thrust while it’s taking the water out. At the same time the sea star's tube feet also help the sea star hold its prey, which includes bivalves like clams and mussels.

Sea Stars and Shooting Stars: An Unforgettable Adventure

Sea stars eat with their stomachs inside-out.

Speaking of prey, sea stars have a rather unique way of eating theirs. A sea star's mouth is on its underside. They prey on bivalves like mussels and clams, as well as small fish, snails, and barnacles. If you've ever tried to pry the shell of a clam or mussel open, you know how difficult it is. Sea stars wrap their arms around the animal's shell and pull it open just enough. And then it does something we could never imagine - it pushes its stomach through its mouth and into the bivalve's shell. It then digests the animal and slides its stomach back into its own body. This unique feeding mechanism allows the sea star to eat larger prey than it would otherwise be able to fit into its tiny mouth.

What are Animal rights? Do animals really have rights? Do animals know that they also have animal rights as well?  Unless we change our thinking and realize the need to do something about it just as people have human rights and are aware of their rights as human beings and are protected by the laws of the land, only a civil society is in a position to cherish the beauty of nature and all that is within it including all the plants and animals which need to be take care of as they are part of us. Having animals rights or giving rights to animals is just one way of giving protection to animals which can be provided by man, rescuing animals as the sole duty of the people whenever they are in need provided there are recourses and treating animals with care as they would have cared for one another in a family.

Love animals and grant animal rights.

While a lot of animal cruelty, animal testing, animal rescue, animal abuse and animal protection   around the world has lead to the phenomenon of animal liberation or animal rights, very few people are aware that animals also have rights. While the common man might not be aware of his rights, it becomes difficult as to whether one can digest the fact that the animals he breeds or takes care of also have rights as well. If there is love and passion for animals in the hearts of people, granting animal rights is as easy accepting these beautiful animals as part of their lives.

Wild at Heart: Discovering the Beauty and Importance of All Animals

There is nothing part of this earth as beautiful as the animals we have in this beautiful world.

With the beautiful environment which we share, man has been able to tame the most dangerous animal and has managed to benefit as well from these animals both domestic animals and wild animals as well. Way back in the primitive age, man used to gather whatever fruits he could find as he gradually shifted his desire with the abundance of wild animals which could cloth him, provide shelter and fill his hunger.

With the rapid industrialization, the need for raw material lead to the scramble for Africa and with the abundance of natural resources and wild animals, the carnage continued with the modern sophisticated weapons. With the increase in world population and many mouths to feed, both wild animals and domestic animals have not been spared in terms of the way they need to be treated despite the hue and cry from many international bodies to stop the carnage in many parts of the world.

From Elephants to Meerkats: The Many Wonders of African Wildlife

From the time this world came into being, people and animals have co existed and animals have been on the spearhead to maintain the equilibrium in this world. We have been lending a blind eye to many of the animal disasters taking place in our environment and all the animal breeding grounds and natural habitat for both wild animals is just not enough for them to be able to roam freely as they used to do hence their survival assures our survival as well. With the ever changing weather conditions, many animals have been displcased and keep on being displaced.

With little humanitarian work going on after every natural disaster, many animal lives are lost and while some are rendered homeless for the rest of their lives due to the change in their geographical area, there is always little for these beautiful animals to look forward to. With little food and water from their new habitat, many animals become victims of animal attacks and hence pose a threat to the peace loving citizens who mean no harm but with little information about animals and how to take care of animals, these animals with their natural animal instincts could attack when they feel threatened and hence became victims or animal attacks themselves.

Love All Animals: The Secret to Saving the Beautiful Wild

Animals have families and show their family and love to their offspring’s as well. Wild animals and domestic animals are social as we are. With advance in communication language and ESP, there are just other things regarding social life which we humans are yet to digest in our heads.  With a lot of intelligence with their natural animal instincts, they are just part of this world which we learn to associate with as we grow up just as they also socialize and blend within their environment and natural surroundings as well.

Join the Love All Animals Movement and Save Our Planet's Biodiversity

When people are happy, we have our own way of showing our affection and our pleasure with our satisfaction as well as portraying all our emotions. The elephants are known to grieve whenever one of their elephants is dead or they come across an elephant grave. That’s just one way of how animals show their emotions and their contribution to this wonderful mother earth. These beautiful animals have rights as we do, there is not a single moment in ones life who has not adored an animal whether it was an animal video, an animal picture or just an animal story.

With all the information and education which has been communicated to mankind about animal care and how we should treat and react to animals, one would wonder as to who is responsible in taking care of these pets, dangerous animals and domestic animals as a whole. Should we treat them with a utility mind for those who are breeding them in order to feed the endless stomachs of human beings or should there be a smooth process in how animals should be treated?

The Wild Side: Discovering the Beauty and Importance of African Animals

With no yardstick to pinpoint where we need to start or to help alleviate many of the animal suffering and discomfort both in their natural habitat, in captivity or while being breed for our consumption, it is therefore our responsibility to make sure that no one takes away the rights of these beautiful animals which are part of this earth’s heritage. While there are accepted given standards on how animals should be handled, whether being transported from one point to another whether they are in a market for sale or are just being enclosed in their pens, the rule and care of such animals should be of good ethical value and with no sheer negligence on the part of the animal owner.

With modern means of transport and communication, man has ventured into the unknown and his lust has triggered him to exploit all avenues his hunger could take him.

Animals both on land and in the deep see have been hunted not because they are there to feed the billions of people but just because they are part of a delicacy, a culture or for medicinal value where as there are substitutes for all those precious animals which are almost on the verge of extinct or are already becoming endangered.

The Power of Love: Why Loving All Animals Is Essential for Our Planet's Future

These animals should not be exploited for their flesh, for their fur or just for there elegant skin. While many people are entertained by the tamed animals in circuses, there is always a lot which goes on in the minds of these animals while being trained. Little is known as to how the carrot and stick theory is used in order to make these animals reach the act of perfection as they are put on hard conditions and made to perform acts or rituals just to benefit the few who have gathered to enjoy the show. While the list of animals care and treatment is till on the lime light, much unnecessary research on animals is just one way of making these animals miserable and with little benefits as far as many of the animal species are concerned.

Many of the animal experiments in the name o science discoveries for the sake of improvement of man’s health is just but not for many a lucrative way of swindling funds of the civil society. With no yardstick in this game, everyone is always a winner when profound animal research bears fruits in terms of medical history.

A Safari of Love: Exploring the Diversity and Beauty of African Wildlife

We should be kind and loving to animals at home in the streets, in the parks and in any environment where these animals have made their home. With the depletion of our worlds natural resources, the world is looking for other sources of energy to help quell the energy crisis. As far as the animal kingdom is concerned, when all the animals are wiped out from the planet, there will ne nothing left for other alternatives. Plastic or robots in the form of animals will not be able to give the joy and the comfort people cherish while in the company of these innocent looking God given beautiful animals. Any goodness or kindness that we show or give to these animals of hours will just be a milestone in extending these animal rights to these wildlife and by showing a relationship of kindness, our new generation will just follow suit in making a better place for these kind animals
