Rhythm of the Tropics at Miami Metrozoo Pitheciidae: Subfamily Callicebinae (titi monkeys) and Subfamily Pitheciinae (saki monkeys, uakari monkeys, and bearded saki monkeys). Titi monkeys, Callicebus, form small monogamous groups of no more than four (up to two young of different ages); quiet, very attractive animals, the pair make little bird-like twittery sounds, and in the mornings duet dramatically (if they have a reason to do so, e.g. A key aspect of interest is their propensity (dental, behavioral, and physiological adaptations)—with other marmosets—to chew holes in tree trunks, branches, and vines to obtain gums. www.jonesandjones.com /mmz/primates.html   (2600 words)

Bishyp6pBirdParrots Our parrots, unlike those in most other countries, are not limited to the tropics, but extend from the tropical rainforests in the north, through lightly wooded eucalypt forests, grasslands and sandy deserts in the centre, to cool temperate regions like Tasmania in the south. The Night Parrot has suffered predation by foxes and feral cats, loss of habitat by rabbits and grazing stock, and loss of water due to overuse by feral camels. Walter said that the Night Parrot feeds at night on seeds of porcupine grass and other soft grasses and herbs. member.rivernet.com.au /balehirs/Bishyp6pBirdParrots.html   (2901 words)

Parrot family The Parrots are a very large family of easily recognized birds, generally restricted to the tropics, ranging from huge macaws to tiny lovebirds and parrotlets. The Night Parrot Geopsittacus occidentalis of the arid interior has also been thought to be near extinction, but I understand there have been some recent evidence to suggest it still survives. It is the world's largest parrot at 100 cm long and 1.7 kg in weight, some 170 times heavier and twelve times longer than one of the New Guinea pygmy-parrots (Collar 1997). montereybay.com /creagrus/parrots.html   (3165 words)

Negroni, M.; Twitty, A., trans.: Night Journey. Night Journey reflects a mastery of a traditional form while brilliantly expressing a modern condition: the multicultural, multifaceted individual, ever in motion. Effortlessly she navigates the nameless subject to the slopes of the Himalayas, to a bar in Buenos Aires, through war, from icy Scandinavian landscapes to the tropics, across seas, toward a cemetery in the wake of Napoleon's hearse, by train, by taxis headed in unrequested directions, past mirrors and birds, between life and death. Night Journey is the English-language debut of the work that won María Negroni an Argentine National Book Award. www.pup.princeton.edu /titles/7262.html   (3165 words)

Alkalize For Health - Composting Toilets - Cancer Alternatives Earthworms emerge onto the surface of the soil at night and grasp a piece of plant material which they take into their tunnel to eat, thereby fertilizing all levels of the soil. These are just two of the plants and techniques people are using to produce food under difficult conditions in the tropics. Soil bacteria live in the gut of the earthworm and assist the digestion of the plant material. www.alkalizeforhealth.net /compostingtoilets.htm   (3165 words)

Tropical Night The kinkajou, also known as a "nightwalker" or "honey bear", is a tropical member of the raccoon family and spends its time in the trees feeding on insects, fruits and occasionally honey. Since the animals of the rain forest are unfamiliar with bright light in the night, they do not relate the sudden appearance of "daylight" to any form of hostile presence and simply stare wide-eyed at its source, seemingly trying to discern what this bizarre occurrence is about. Even more so, many of the animals of the tropics avoid the day's heat altogether, retiring to underground lairs, piles of debris, or caverns in hollowed out logs and trees. www.bcrescue.org /night.html   (3165 words)

Rum Books And Gifts Much to our surprise, browsing through the Spirit of Bermuda we learned that loquats are as abundant in Bermuda as palm trees are in the tropics. While dining on tropical Asian cuisine and sipping on exotic rum punches in the branches of a banyan tree, surrounded by tiki torches, rattan furniture, flower leis and bright-colored fabrics, his guests truly knew the meaning of Aloha. The secret cocktail mixtures of the master, Don the Beachcomber, are revealed for the first time, including the original Mai Tai, the Zombie, the Beachcomber's Gold, and the Vicious Virgin, along with a delectable array of his tropical cuisine recipes and an original Don the Beachcomber Party Guide. www.rumshop.net /bookreviews.htm   (3165 words)

eco_exp examples Lizard Island is renowned for its high biodiversity, and most of the reefs around the island are fully protected in "no-take" marine park zones.

On the final evening, we conclude the trip to Lizard Island with a tropical beach-side bbq, where guests are able to mingle with the researchers and discuss reef ecology in a relaxed, informal setting. www.tevenei.com /tvm/eco_eg.htm   (3165 words)

Rainforest animals: Zoom Rainforests This 3,000 mile (4800 km) wide band is called the "tropics." Tropical rainforests are found in South America, West Africa, Australia, southern India, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests are located in a band around the equator, mostly in the area between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S latitude). These climbing lizards live in trees in humid forests and eat cicadas, ants, spiders and smaller lizards. www.enchantedlearning.com /subjects/rainforest/animals/Rfbiomeanimals.shtml   (3165 words)

Rhythm of the Tropics at Miami Metrozoo Pitheciidae: Subfamily Callicebinae (titi monkeys) and Subfamily Pitheciinae (saki monkeys, uakari monkeys, and bearded saki monkeys). They include the pygmy marmoset, which is the smallest monkey in the world (not the smallest primate—that credit goes to the mouse lemurs). Although both species have very similar diets in terms of fruits, they differ in their small animal prey foraging techniques. www.jonesandjones.com /mmz/primates.html   (2600 words)

AOL CityGuide: - Pittsburgh - Tequila Willie's - Bar/Club Sharing the Strip's Boardwalk Entertainment Complex with Donzi's night club, Tequila Willie's is designed for twentysomethings on the prowl -- thirsting for mixed drinks, aching for a round on the dance floor (music selections are not necessarily tropics-themed), and hoping to run into a stud or studette with sand-speckled hair. With daily specials (including $1 drinks on College Night), Tequila Willie's is best visited during the warmer months, when visitors can enjoy the lazy, sultry-night decadence of the adjacent deck bar. Sporting the primitive facades and grass roofs of remote island villages, Tequila Willie's aptly supports the illusion that sunny beaches are only a conch's throw away. cityguide.aol.com /pittsburgh/bars/venue.adp?sbid=129027   (290 words)

Trip List - Ventures Birding & Natural History Tours Belize is a country of endless wonder and delight, and for those of us who had ever traveled in the tropics with Simon, the experience was one we cannot wait to repeat. Walking through the rainforest is like stepping back into a time capsule of prehistory, with palms like ancient tree ferns sporting 30' fronds growing from their base, and trees with names like Gumbo Limbo and Guanacaste, which upon closer inspection reveal faces of mischievous spider monkeys or brightly-colored trogons. In all, Simon helped us find 258 species of birds, well over 100 "lifers" for some of us. www.birdventures.com /Reports/Bzlist02.htm   (297 words)

Gamefish of the Amazon - Peacock Bass, Payara and Other Exotic Species These fishes, when not in spawning condition, are so distinctly spotted (with a fawn- like pattern of white spots running laterally along their sides), that they appear to be a separate species from the reproductively active spawners and are called ‘paca’ (also pinta lapa). The ‘spotted’ peacock (Cichla temensis), better known as "tucunare" is the largest of the Cichla species, with an average weight of about 6-pounds and reaching well into the 20-pound class. The most common pattern has three black, oscelli, or spots (about the size of a half dollar, depending on the size of the fish) running along its lateral line in addition to the ever present tail spot. www.acuteangling.com /Reference/SAFishArt.html   (8552 words)

Atmospheric Optics Group Some of the WSI systems are 24-hour systems capable of acquiring high quality data all day and all night, while others are more specialized systems designed for handling day only, or for looking down from an aircraft. Some of the WSI units have been operating successfully in rigorous environments such as the arctic, desert, and tropics for a number of years. The Day/Night WSI systems use a Nikor, f/2.8 8 mm lens; other more recent systems that are used in higher ambient lighting use smaller fisheye lenses. www-mpl.ucsd.edu /people/jshields/wsi/wsi.intro.htm   (514 words)

de Havilland Mosquito - en Because of the glued-and-screwed wooden construction, early Mosquitoes were not suited to the tropics where exposure to high humidity and rain caused the airframe to warp and the glue to dissolve. The Mosquito also served with distinction as fighter-bomber, recconaissance aircraft and nightfighter. At night it operated with impunity over Germany to the end of the war, because the Luftwaffe never had a nightfighter fast enough to intercept it. www.military.cz /british/air/war/fighter/mosquito/mosquito_en.htm   (257 words)

Harvest Moon At the Earth's equator, there is no Harvest Moon; and at the tropics, there's not enough of one to say so. It was once common knowledge that at the vicinity of Full Moon, the Moon rises around sunset, shines all night long and sets around sunrise. Farmers in olden times knew, however, that this lapse of time between successive moonrises shrinks most dramatically near the fall equinox, ushering in a glorious parade of moonlit nights. www.idialstars.com /hamn.htm   (257 words)
