Most Invasive The migration of these bees was a result of a science experiment gone wrong. A scientist brought 11 queen bees to Brazil to try and increase the honey production . They were a first known problem when they attacked in Rio. They are especially known for the way they protect their hive. (2) Killer bees are brown with black stripes, they are about an inch long and are covered in fuzz. They have clear wings that attach to the thorax. The largest of the millions are the queens followed by the workers. Once the bees start an attack its hard to get away. They can spread their colonies by swarming, and they spread about 200 miles each year. In the United States, Killer bees were first spotted in Texas, then they made their way to nearby states in the next 5 years. These honeybees are said to be unpredictable when it comes to adapting to an environment. They find their habitats quickly and move to the next when they need to (3) Common Name: Killer Bee Scientific Name: Apis mellifera scutellata Where on Earth is it a problem: They adapted very well to their new home in South America and in the Southwestern United States. They have proven to be a bigger threat to the rainforest rather than people. These bees suck the resourses from trees, plants and flowers. Where did it come from?: Origionated in Africa, South of the Sahara desert Most Endangered The Olm can go 10 years without eating and hunts only in the dark. They use their amazing use of smell, taste and hearing to hunt down its prey. They can live up to 58 years and are very pale. They are extinct now because of pollution and habitat disturbances. It lives purely in the dark and has very poor vision and low skin pigmentation. It uses its amazing hearing and smell to hunt down their prey. They can smell very low concentrations of organic food. They can also sense sound waves and feel vibrations from the ground. After scientific experiments, scientists found that Olms can use the earths magnetic field to orient itself. They prefer warm waters and are mostly found near the surface of water. They hide in cracks of rocks when they are in danger. Olms each snails, crabs and insects and swallow them whole. When there is no food available, they can reabsorb their own body tissues. Common Name: Olm Scientific Name: Proteus Anguinus Where does it live?: Found in the entrances of caves in Europe. Favorite Keystone When these monkeys let loose on their wild calls, it can be heard up to 3 miles away. Their call is used to let other Howler monkeys know that the territory is already taken by a troop. Males calls are much louder because they have shell- shaped vocal chambers. Their average lifespan is up to 15 to 20 years. They show off their tail which can be used as an extra arm for grip or to hang from trees. Rarely do they walk on the ground, their diet consists of leafs from which the trees they sit on. The red monkeys are the most common, but they are easy to point out to hunters. Other monkeys can have brown or black thick hair (5). They grow up to 2 feet tall, and have a 30 inch tail. Baby monkeys are very vulnerable, so they stay attatched to their mothers for a couple months so they are safe from predators. They like to stay in once place and rarely travel. Although they are easy to locate, Howlers are hard to spot from the ground because they stay in the lowland rainforests. They sleep up to 15 hours a day and are considered one of the slowest moving animals of the rainforest. (6) Common Name: Howler Monkey Scientific Name: Alouatta caraya Where does it live?: Found in tropical Central and South America Coolest Predator Adaptation Anglerfish are dark colored with soft bones. They have a round body with a few fins. They adapt to their prey by tricking them and luring them in with its glowing "fishing pole". It lights up by using bacterica and creates a luminescent light. Its prey thinks that its poop. When bigger fish from higher waters poop, it comes down catching bacterica and begins glowing. (7) Only the female Anglerfish have the luring light. They have crescent - shaped mouths filled with many teeth. Their mouths are so big that they can swallow prey up tp twice their size. The males are significantly smaller than the females. Once a male finds a female he wants to mate with, he latches onto her with its teeth and overtime is fuses itself to her. Then the male and female begin sharing a bloodstream and the male looses its eyes and organs, leaving on its testes. Females can carry up to six males on them at one time. Once it attatches the female will lay eggs in a sheet like manner, 2 or 3 wide and 30 feet long. These mysterious fish can weigh up to 110 lbs. and reach up to 2 feet. (8) The Anglerfish got its nickname "the black devil" from its ferocious appearence and fang- like teeth. Because of its large body and little fins, it wobbles through the water rather than swimming. Its invisible to other sea creatures. (9). Common Name: Anglerfish Scientific Name: Lophius Piscatorius Where does it live?: Most live in the Atlantic and Antartic oceans, up to a mile deep. Coolest Prey Adaptation This type of Seadragon is considered one of the most mysterious among ocean life. Their bodies allow them to blend in with plants and hide them from predators. They feed on red algae and larval fishes. When seadragons mate, the end of the males tail will turn bright yellow when its ready, the females deposits 250 eggs to the backside of the males tail. 8 weeks later the eggs hatch, but only about 5% of them last up to 2 years. (1) They have long snouts and skinny bodies. Although the Seahorse's tail can be used for gripping, the Seadragons tail cannot. Seadragons can grow up to 15 inches. They use their fins to move through the water but often flow with the current. (10) Common Name: Seadragon Scientific Name: Phycodurus eques Where does it live?: Seadragons are found in all parts of Australian waters. Mostly in the western and southern parts. Taking these animals from these waters are strictly prohibited by Australian law.
