Marsupial Rayado​

aka Western or Long Nosed Bandicoot​

The Western barred bandicoot weighs 190 - 250 g (6.8 - 8.9 oz). It formerly occurred over much of southern Australia in semi-arid and arid areas with a variety of vegetation types. In its one remaining habitat, on Bernier and Dorre Islands, it is especially abundant in sandhills behind beaches. It is insectivorous and usually obtains its food by digging. It is mainly nocturnal, usually emerging at dusk. One to three young per litter are born, with two being the most common.

The Western barred bandicoot formerly occurred in Australia from Western Australia east through southern South Australia to western New South Wales and northwest Victoria. It was last recorded on the mainland in 1922. As of 1970, since no specimens had been found for many years it was presumed extinct. By 1983, it had been rediscovered on Bernier and Dorre Islands and as of 1996 is only found on those islands.

Reasons for its decline have included predation by introduced foxes and feral cats, competition from livestock and introduced rabbits, habitat clearing and degradation, and changed fire regimes.

Yoldia ​

eightsi​

aka Antarctic yoldia​

Yoldia eightsi is found in Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, South Orkney Islands, South Sandwich Islands, South Georgia Island, Kerguelen Island, Argentina, Chile, and Falkland Islands at depths from intertidal to 824 meters [size=-2][1,2,3,4,5,8,11,12][/size]. Y. eightsi is most common shallower than 100 meters depth [size=-2][5][/size].The shell covering (periostracum) of Y. eightsi is glossy yellow-olive or brown with well-defined brown growth rings between small yellow or orange zones; it may be dark brown in larger animals [size=-2][3,9,12][/size]. Shell size of Y. eightsi can reach 4.65 centimeters [size=-2][3][/size]. Using growth rate calculations, Y. eightsi at 3.5 centimeters in length are about 65 years old; those at 4.5 centimeters are about 150 years old [size=-2][4,7][/size].​

Yoldia eightsi is found in soft sediment and burrows relatively shallow compared to other Yoldia, adopting a more horizontal shell orientation when burrowed [size=-2][4,6][/size]. Y. eightsi is both a deposit feeder on mud and a suspension feeder on diatoms [size=-2][6][/size].​

The muricid gastropod Trophon longstaffi is a predator of Y. eightsi [size=-2][13][/size]. The brittle star Ophiosparte gigas has been found with Y. eightsi in its gut contents [size=-2][10][/size].​

Acanthopagrus ​

butcheri ​

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bream, Black
Scientific name: Acanthopagrus butcheri [/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]They say to catch a decent black bream is too hard and many anglers just give up. Black Bream can be relatively simple to catch if you follow a few simple rules and put in the fishing time.

Rely on the K.I.S.S. principle Keep It Simple Stupid, that goes for any fish, , you don't need fancy gear worth hundreds of dollars to catch a Bream a simple handline will do the job, a couple of sinkers a few hooks and a swivel or two is all you need.

Habitat
Most anglers cast too far in the search of bream as these fish tend to search for food along the edges of the river banks, I know you can catch Bream in the deeper channels, but most Bream are caught within 10 metres of the river bank.

Try and find a fishing site which is not easily accessible, here you will probably have a better chance, be very quiet and wear neutral clothing, Bream are very easily spooked, keep your silhouette low and you will have a better chance.[/font]​

Distribution
Toque macaques live in Sri Lanka.

Habitat
They prefer lowland and semi-deciduous forest near permanent water, up to 1524m.

Diet
These macaques feed on fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers, invertebrates and cereals.

Behaviour
They live in multi-male, multi-female troops with 2.3 females per male. There is a clear male dominance hierarchy, and troops may have overlapping home ranges. Toque macaques are diurnal, and spend time on the ground and in the trees. Dogs are the main predators of this species.

Reproduction
