While this colouration seems conspicuous, it renders the tapir nearly invisible in the moonlit jungle at night. Young animals are completely different from their mature relatives, resembling brown watermelons with whitish stripes and spots on a chocolate brown coat. They lose this baby coat 4-7 months after birth. The thick hide is sparsely covered with hair, and there is no mane or ridge on the neck. The body is round and barrel-shaped, the tail is no more than a stump. The nose and upper lip are extended to form a short, prehensile proboscis. The eyes are small and beady, and the ears are rimmed with white.</font></p><p><title>Malayan tapir</title><!-- Created with AOLpress/2.0 --></p><p><font size="3">Ontogeny and Reproduction</font> </p> <blockquote><font size="3"><em>Gestation Period</em>: 390-403 days.<br /><em>Young per Birth</em>: 1<br /><em>Weaning</em>: 6-8 months.<br /><em>Sexual</em> <em>Maturity</em>: At about 3 years<br /><em>Life span</em>: Up to 30 years </font><p><font size="3">Breeding occurs in May and June. </font></p></blockquote> <p><font size="3">Ecology and Behavior</font> </p> <blockquote><font size="3">Malayan tapirs are primarily - although not exclusively - nocturnal. They cover large distances in their search for food, making frequent stops to eat. Regularly used paths are used in these foraging excursions, and several may lead to bodies of water. Each animal occupies a large territory which overlaps that of its neighbours. These paths and territories are marked with urine, which is sprayed on small bushes and plants. When moving, the Malayan tapir walks slowly with its head down, which probably allows it to pick up the scents of other tapirs. Individuals also communicate with shrill whistles. The Malayan tapir is a good climber, scaling steep slopes with relative ease, and when alarmed gallops off with surprising speed. </font><p><font size="3"><em>Family group</em>: Solitary.<br

style="font-weight:bold;">Kingdom</span>: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Chiroptera, Family: Pteropodidae, Genus: Pteropus, Species: P. speciosus<br />Binomial name<br />Pteropus speciosus,K. Andersen, 1908<br />The Philippine Gray Flying Fox (Pteropus speciosus) is a species of bat in the Pteropodidae family. It is found in Indonesia and the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.<br />DISTRIBUTION—Two islands in the Java Sea, Indonesia, and the Mindanao and Sulu faunal region. Reported from Basilan (USNM), Malanipa (USNM), Mindanao (Zamboanga del Sur Province [FMNH]), Sanga-sanga (DMNH), Sibutu (DMNH), and Tawi-tawi (AMNH). <br /><br />HABITAT—Virtually unknown. Recent reports from Tawi-tawi indicate that they are represented by at least several large colonies. <br /><br />STATUS—Unknown; geographically restricted. IUCN: Vulnerable. CITES: Appendix II.<br /><br />COMMENT—Includes P. mearnsi (Heaney et al., 1987); may be conspecific with P. griseus (Mickleburgh et al., 1992). Some previous reports from Cebu, Mactan, and Negros were based on subadult P. hypomelanus.Dunia sainshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10994231414970425540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884706968470813987.post-16992527196107662182010-06-04T02:37:00.000-07:002010-06-04T02:50:18.895-07:00Golden age of AstronomyThe second half of the 20th century was truly a golden age for astronomy. Rapid advances in technology made it possible to build very large optical telescopes on the ground. By the early 21st century astronomers were using about a dozen telescopes with mirrors larger than 8 m (300 in) in diameter. Because it is much cheaper to build telescopes on the ground than in space, large ground-based telescopes with their ability to gather large amounts of light (think of a telescope as a bucket for collecting light; the bigger the bucket, the more light collected) are particularly valuable for studying the faintest objects. The most distant objects tend to be very faint, but they are very important for understanding the evolution of the universe. Since light takes a long time to reach us, the universe gives us a kind of time machine so that we can see what it was like when it was much younger than it is now. For the most distant objects observed so far, it took nearly 13 billion years for their light to reach Earth, so we are seeing them as they existed 13 billion years ago.<p><b>Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation.
