Dolphins

Dolphins are mammals, not fish. They are warm blooded just like human beings. All dolphins are toothed whales. In addition to being found around Hawaii, some dolphin species occupy all oceans, major streams and some large river systems. They are carnivores but the food that they eat is different for each species.While some dolphins eat fishes others eat squids. Many people think that the killer whales are actually whales but they aren't they are a large type of dolphins and because of their size they were called killer whales. Dolphins come in many sizes, shapes and species. the most common one is the Atlantic bottle nose dolphin just like the one in the picture on the top right.

peacocks

When thinking about peacocks, the first thought that comes to a persons mind is the peacocks amazingly colorful tails. It is one of the most beautiful birds in the world, is found inhabiting a few countries in India. There are basically two species of peacocks, the Indian peacock, which apparently is native to India, and the Green peacock which is native to the Asian countries. Peacocks are omnivores ( eat plants and animals) so their diet is mostly made up of plant parts, flower petals, insects, reptiles and amphibians. A peacock weighs 4 to 6kg and live to 15 years in the wild but up to 40 years in captivity. peacocks come in many colors, the colors mostly range from bronze to green to blue. Some peacocks are bred to be totally white.

Hamsters



Hamsters are mammals that belong to the rodent family. There are many different species of hamsters throughout the world and most hamsters inhabit semi-desert areas where they live in burrows. These burrows consist of many tunnels and separate chambers including chambers where the hamster will store food and sleep. Hamsters are nocturnal, sleeping during the hot days and waking in the cooler evenings. They have very poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell and excellent hearing. Only a few hamster species are kept as pets today.
