There are animals that can reach surprising speeds in their flights. In this article we are going to list which are the fastest flying animals on planet earth. The speeds shown in this article are approximate based on expert observation.
The fastest flying animal on the planet
There are two birds that are considered the fastest on the planet, the golden eagle and the peregrinefalcon, both manage to reach speeds close to 160 kilometers per hour.
Other very fast birds
There are other birds very fast that cross the sky at breakneck speeds, here are some examples:
The hummingbird: it manages to reach 110 kilometers per hour also because of its small dimensions make it much more meritorious.
The Canada Goose: It also flies at 110 kilometers per hour.
The Seagull: 60 kilometers per hour
The owl: 65 kilometers per hour
The starling: flies at 80 kilometers per hour.

There are animals that can reach surprising speeds in small routes. In this article we are going to list which are the fastest animals on planet earth. It is important to keep in mind that this speed is achieved in about 300 meters maximum since the animals get a lot of speed in a short space of time.
The fastest animal on the planet
The animal that runs the fastest is the cheetah, this elegant animal manages to run at surprising speeds, between 110 and 130 kilometers per hour.
Some very fast animals
Other very fast animals are the gazelle that can reach 85 kilometers per hour, surprisingly a very fast animal is the lion, its sleepy appearance hides the great predator of the savannah and for it is basic to be one of the fastest animals getting speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour. The zebra is another of the very fast animals getting up to 70 kilometers per hour.
Fast and smaller animals
Two smaller animals but that are also very fast are the hare that reaches 77 kilometers per hour and the wolf that gets 50 kilometers per hour.
Animals you’d never say run a lot
Animals such as the elephant, the giraffe or the rhinoceros would not say that they are very fast because yes, they get speeds of 40, 50 and 45 kilometers per hour respectively.
The second fastest animal on the planet
The second fastest animal on the planet is the Jumping Antelope that can reach a speed of 95 kilometers per hour.

There are animals that can jump amazing heights. In this article we are going to list which are the most jumping animals on planet earth. The heights that we show you in this article are expressed in meters and all animals are mammals. In this case the human being would be the mammal that jumps the most on the planet, almost 9 meters.
The animal that jumps the most on the planet
The puma is the animal that jumps the most on planet earth, it manages to jump up to 3.10 meters away in a jump.
Other very jumping animals
Some mammals that manage to jump a lot, usually to get more and better hunting or to flee from their predators are, the kangaroo (2.70 meters in length), the impala that manages to jump 2.50 meters and the antelope 1.80 meters.
Small mammals that jump a lot
Some animals such as the squirrel, the gerbil or the coyote manage to jump relevant distances, 0.90 meters, 0.45 and 1.20 respectively. No doubt they are not great distances but quadrupeds are animals that find it difficult to get great distances in their jump.

Ovoviviparous animals are a class of animals that hatch from eggs, eggs that remain inside the mother until just before hatching. Ovoviparity or ovoviparism is therefore a mixture between oviparism (animals that lay eggs to reproduce) and viviparism (animals that develop inside the mother’s body). They are, in short, an example of genetic evolution based on survival. As nature is so wise and we know that it never ceases to amaze you we explain what are the ovoviviparous animals.
Ovoviviparous fish
Despite its resemblance to whales or dolphins, the shark is not a mammal, but a fish. And they are incredible fish, there are anyway: viviparous, oviparous and ovoviviparous.
Most fish generate a large number of small eggs that they deposit in places they consider safe for their young, waiting for the male to fertilize them by spraying them with his sperm. But this technique is ineffective, since most eggs die soon and newborn larvae have a very low survival rate due to predators and environmental conditions.
That is why some sharks and other fish such as the Manta Ray, the Guppys, Mollys or Plattys, have opted for a more intelligent form of reproduction: ovoviparity. As in viviparous animals, the eggs are fertilized internally and are well protected inside the females that nourish them through a placenta like mammals.
Ovoviviparous snakes
Like sharks, snakes also have the three modes of gestation and birth (oviparism, viviparism, ovoviviparism). The velvet snake, for example, is viviparous. The offspring of this poisonous specimen are born alive from the mother, who can give birth to an average of 30 offspring after a pregnancy that lasts between 180 and 240 days. Of course, once they are born the female does not take care of the babies: from the first day of its life the velvet snake is dedicated to hunting.
The coral snake, another extremely venomous species, is an oviparous snake. The mother lays the eggs in a place she considers suitable and waits for the eggs to be excluded in the wild, with all the risks that this entails. If you want to read more about poisonous animals you will be interested in our article which is the most poisonous animal in the world.
For its part, the boa constrictor, one of the largest snakes in the world (it can weigh 30 kilograms and measure up to 4 meters) is ovoviviparous. Inside, the mother keeps the eggs for 7 months and can give birth to up to 25 offspring.
But if we talk about which are the largest ovoviviparous snakes, the number 1 position is for the anaconda. Up to 200 kilograms in weight and 12 meters long, the also known as water boa maintains a gestation of eggs for 6 months and can reach 50 babies.
Other reptiles and amphibians
There are also some species of chameleons that are ovoviviparous and have a gestation of between 5 and 7 months.
The Suriname toad (or pipe pipe), finally, is an extremely strange species of amphibian, although not only because it is ovoviviparous, but because of the flattened and gray appearance. And their strangeness does not end there. Unlike other ovoviviparous animals, this amphibian does not carry the eggs inside, but creates a layer of transparent secondary skin on the back to deposit them and carry them safely everywhere. On its back it can carry between 60 and 100 offspring!
Not all flies lay eggs either. Some of the species of this common and annoying insect are ovoviviparous (the larvae do not see the light until they hatch), such as the tachinidae fly, insects a little larger than house flies and that inhabit the whole planet.
Other ovoviviparous insects are many species of beetles such as the metal beetle.

Nature is always surprising and raises questions that science strives to answer. Thanks to new technologies, we can observe animals in their natural habitats and thus study and understand many particularities that until recently were a mystery.
For example, how can it be possible that marine mammals – such as whales and dolphins, which need air to breathe just as we do – can live their entire existence in the water? And, if they need air to breathe, how do whales sleep without drowning? If you want to learn more about this issue, do not miss this article, because we tell you how whales and dolphins sleep and why they do not drown.
How whales sleep
Unlike humans, who don’t need to think to breathe, whales breathe voluntarily. Our breathing is reflex during sleep and we even continue breathing even if we are unconscious; Therefore, our brain manages to disconnect completely while we sleep and we can reach phases of deep sleep. Not so for whales, which even sleeping need to be aware of their breathing. So, don’t whales sleep? Does your brain not need to rest? The answer to both questions is yes: whales sleep and their brains need rest, too.
The big difference between marine mammals (whales) and land mammals (us) is that mariners have a brain that is able to connect and disconnect their hemispheres independently. Our brain, on the other hand, is unable to function using only one of its hemispheres. This peculiarity of marine mammals, such as cetaceans, allows them to sleep resting only half of their brain. In this way, a part of the brain remains alert, makes sure that the animal breathes, that no danger lurks and even allows it to move while sleeping.
This way of sleeping is called slow-wave unihemispheric sleep. It allows marine mammals to sleep in cycles, alternating the cerebral hemisphere that rests and the one that remains in a waking state. Thanks to him, these animals can survive during sleep. This original way of sleeping has the disadvantage that it hardly allows them to reach the REM phase of deep sleep and, when they do, it lasts just a few minutes.
This way of sleeping prevents whales from separating from the pod during sleep, as they can remain in motion next to each other. This activity during sleep is vital for cetaceans, as it minimizes the loss of body temperature due to the coldness of the waters, something that could lead to their death if they remained totally still. In addition, this contributes to the survival of calves, which grow in motion next to the mother while they are babies. Thanks to a technique called staggered swimming, the calf is placed in a position in which the mother’s own turbulence movement propels it and keeps it next to her. During the first weeks of life, the mother cannot stop at any time, otherwise the calf would drown, since it cannot yet float on its own.
How dolphins sleep
The system that dolphins use to sleep is the same as the one we have explained with whales. Their ability to function alternately with a single hemisphere of the brain means that dolphins can enjoy several full sleep cycles a day (approximately two hours each).
Although sleep habits vary by species, dolphins — unlike whales, which usually sleep in deep water and rise to the surface to breathe — prefer to sleep in shallow waters and some even float during sleep. A curious detail is that some dolphins rest horizontally, but others do so vertically.
However, dolphins have more peculiarities, because their sleep is deeper than that of whales and they can reach the REM sleep phase more easily, although it does not last more than a few minutes. In addition, they sleep with one eye open and one eye closed; The open is the opposite of the area of the brain that remains in operation. The part of the brain that remains awake is not one hundred percent, but it is able to detect movement and determine when it is necessary to climb to breathe.
In the sea, standing still can mean death, which is why most dolphins also move during sleep. Adult males do this in pairs and swim very slowly. Females and young swim in large herds, use the staggered swimming system, and also take turns keeping an eye out for natural hazards and obstacles.
Why whales and dolphins don’t drown when they sleep
To know how whales sleep without drowning, we need to know how they breathe. Their respiratory system has lungs just like ours and they are proportional to their size, that is, much larger than ours.
The equivalent of our nose is a hole they have over their head that is covered with a membrane of skin called a blowhole. According to experts, the movement of this “lid” is entirely voluntary, which means that the animal has to be conscious in order to open the blowhole, breathe and then close it when submerged so that no water enters its lungs.
That’s why whales and dolphins don’t drown when they sleep; Your respiratory system remains closed and water cannot penetrate to your lungs. It is almost impossible for a marine mammal to drown while sleeping, although it can suffocate due to lack of oxygen if it does not breathe in time.
The morphology of marine mammals has also developed other abilities as part of their adaptation to the marine environment:
Their large lungs allow them to take in huge puffs of air.
Your body tolerates higher levels of CO² than land animals, so your brain takes much longer to start the respiratory process.
They are able to maintain their blood supply with “minimal services”, because when they sleep their blood only flows to the organs and vital processes. While they sleep, their digestion, for example, stops.

Have you ever wondered why you go to the ZOO? If you were asked this question, most of you would probably answer that you are going to spend a pleasant day outdoors, see the animals and, in many cases, entertain the little ones in the house. All these reasons are very laudable, and respond to the playful and entertainment aspect that zoos have traditionally had. But attention, this is only one of its functions, because there is MORE. Spending a day at the zoo should bring much more than a day of fun, and the existence of the zoo as such, should also have other purposes than mere entertainment. A zoo should also have an educational component and inform the public about the species on display and biodiversity conservation. It should also facilitate scientific research, in this way, we know more about animals and we could use this knowledge to contribute more efficiently to their conservation. It is in our hands to make zoos take seriously the role they have in the conservation of biodiversity, it is not enough to say it, they have to do it! And. how can you know if a zoo contributes to conservation or not? If you want to know, the next time you go to the zoo do not look only at the “showcase”. Go further and try to find answers to the questions we pose below.
Steps to follow:
About the size of the zoo facilities Do animals enjoy welfare? Before answering, we must bear in mind that a zoo is usually a mosaic of accommodations, some old and outdated and others modern and updated, hence in many cases it is not easy to generalize. It is obvious to think that, just as people need a minimum space to live with dignity and thus achieve our welfare, animals have space needs that respond to the ecology of each species and the number of individuals that are in the installation. So, animals should not be limited in their movements. We must know the species to determine if its spatial and design demands of the installation respond to its needs. If a species is by definition arboreal, it would not be normal for it to develop all its activities in an installation without any tree, liana, rope or elevated space to climb. We must therefore be coherent and consistent with the needs of the animal, to know if the design of the installation, both vertical and horizontal, is sufficient or adequate. When designing an installation in addition, all the needs of the animal must be taken into account. This implies knowing their privacy needs and what kind of structural enrichment can be done so that these animals do not develop aberrant behaviors because of the facility in which they are. If we can pass by the same facility at different times of the day we will observe if the animals make full use of the facility and its resources and if the sites that offer them privacy are effective. If we observe that the animals do not make a profitable use of the facilities that are exhibited there, it is probably as a consequence of a bad design.
The five freedoms It is logical that the welfare of the species housed in zoos should first and foremost. If the animal is not in good condition, doubtful will be its contribution to conservation. On the other hand, we must not forget that the vast majority of animals that can be seen in zoos are wild animals (such as a parrot or a seal), that is, not domesticated (such as a dog or a cow) and therefore not adapted to live under human control. For this reason, wild animals kept in captivity require very specific housing and care to ensure that the animal enjoys the welfare and health it should. Well, getting an answer to this question is much more complicated than it seems, because it is an arduous task to assess all the factors that can intervene in the welfare of an animal leaving subjectivity aside, but what is indisputable, is that the animal in question, at least, should have: 1. Water and food 2. Adequate accommodation to develop each and every one of your movement patterns (e.g., running, swimming, digging, climbing, bracing. Etc.) 3. Veterinary care (including preventive veterinary care, the most important if we take into account that in many cases, once the animal gets sick, little can be done to make it better. Veterinary medicine of exotic species is not as developed as we may think) 4. Ability to express their normal patterns of behavior (this implies a social structure similar to that which would be expected in the wild, appropriate equipment and complexity of the enclosure, etc.) 5. Possibility of avoiding stressful or frightening situations (for this there must be a buffer distance between the public and the animals; visual barriers that the animal can use to avoid having to maintain constant eye contact with humans; escape routes to hide, etc.) These five principles are based on the “Five Freedoms” developed by the Farm Animal Welfare Council (UK).
The education of children and adults is one of the main objectives that a zoo must meet. When we visit a zoo, to know if it is a good center, we must ask ourselves: Does the zoo offer information about the species exhibited through the exhibition of posters? (e.g.: scientific and common name of the species, distribution area, habitat, social structure, behavior, nutrition, etc.) And about its state of conservation? Do you offer guided tours or organize activities on biodiversity conservation (whether colloquia, courses, conferences, etc.)? Are there educational talks about the animal species on display that discuss their biology and conservation status? Are they open to the general public or only to schoolchildren?
Do the facilities have environmental enrichment? The existence of environmental enrichment in the accommodations is stipulated in Law 31/2003, so it should be a daily fact that zoos hire technical specialists in the application of environmental enrichment programs. If we worry about knowing a little about the origin of the animal and the bioenvironment where it is found, we can establish if the naturalization that we have in front of us is falsified or responds to the behavioral and physical necessities of the species housed there. Many times, naturalization responds to the ideal image of seeing animals surrounded by plants, rocks and beautiful waterfalls, rather than to a real need or a coherence with their original habitat. In reality and although it may seem an arduous task, it results in many cases, the result of using coherence when designing and placing the objects that will form the installation. There are cases in which it may be more difficult to establish if there is a case of false naturalization, since the inaccuracies can be minimal and almost imperceptible to untrained eyes. This does not imply that they are not highly important, since certain plants, woods or objects can pose a serious threat to the well-being and health of individuals.
ABOUT ANIMALS obviously, the main thing and the reason why we go to the center is to see wild animals. That implies that once we have looked at all the things that surround it, from the design of the installation, to the naturalizations, the safety of the animal and the enrichment, we will look at the animal and observe what consequence everything is having in its welfare. If we observe an animal with aberrancies, with stereotypies, with behavioral problems or with recognizable health problems, it will be possible that any of the topics that we have previously commented, did not respond to the physical and behavioral needs of the animals contained therein. Many times, animal welfare also depends on some things that an ordinary visitor will not be able to observe: interior structures, bedrooms, food, etc. However, and since none of our perceptions can be argued absolutely, we must formulate our proposals conditionally. Despite this, the vast majority of cases respond to a common denominator that establishes that the interior parts are of lower quality than the exterior, since these are not in view of the general public, and therefore, marketing is not necessary in these situations.
Around the world thousands of animals in zoos are locked in artificial environments, with few stimuli, little enrichment, without the opportunity to escape the public gaze. They often develop patterns of abnormal behavior in an attempt to cope with their forced lack of life goals. Even in the so-called “best zoos,” anomalous behavior is present, and it can be animals we see walking up and down – pacing, rocking, vomiting, or even self-mutilating. In the assessment of UK zoos, carried out by Zoo Check (Zoo Health Check 2000), 80% of large zoos and safari parks in the UK had one or more animals showing stereotypical behavior. Some of the behaviors that bored and frustrated animals presented have a basis in the activities they perform when they live in freedom. They may start out as normal behavior, but in impoverished confinement, it can become compulsive and unnatural. Then they are already easily identified because often these behaviors are simplified and overrepresented, especially when the animals are more stressed.

Breeding earthworms is easy, a profitable hobby and a daring business. The worms do not need daily care and grow little by little, they are also a wonderful compost. Learn to raise earthworms for personal gain or to sell them, as they are one of the most used baits in fishing and you can earn a little money.
Steps to follow:
First you need to decide what kind of earthworm you would like to breed. The most popular for breeding are the red worm (they are the smallest in size but grow fast) and the night worm (larger in size and good bait for fish).
Prepare a place to breed your earthworms. For the interior, you can use a bathtub with a cover. For the exterior, you can cut off the bottom of a bathtub and bury a part in the ground. The bathtub will keep the worms in a sector of the floor and keep away other animals that can disturb them.
Keep worms moist and in the dark where they develop. It provides organic material like leaves, grass, manure, kitchen scraps, compost, all that feeds them. Place this material on top of the tub, the worms crawl to the food and go back down to their burrows when they finish.
Feed the earthworms once a week. The calculation is half a kilo of food per 30 cubic centimeters of space per month. If the feeding is weekly, divide the amount of food into four parts. Wet your soil with every meal, but be careful not to add too much water that forms puddles. Earthworms can drown in standing water.
Cover the tub to keep moisture inside. Make sure the constant temperature is between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, as it is the temperature range needed to breed earthworms. Here are other tips to keep in mind:
If the soil is very acidic add lime ash and some wood to the soil every two months to keep the pH level between 6.8 and 7.2
Repeat. Always keep worms in moist soil, but do not add too much water because they can drown.

If you want to live an unforgettable experience and bathe with dolphins in Spain you have it complicated, then we explain the options you have if you want to bathe with dolphins and live this incredible experience next to the most beautiful animals on the planet.
Steps to follow:
In Spain there are several places that do shows with dolphins but few where you can be near them, in the zoo of barcelona or in the zoo of madrid, but in none of them is allowed to swim with dolphins since in Spain it is prohibited.
A place that they let you interact with dolphins is in mundomar, in Benidorm. The activity takes place daily from March until the closing date in December with the following schedule: 12:00 h. to 16:00 h. Prices: Adult 80 euros and Children (from 5 to 12 years old): 55 euros.
The closest option to swim with dolphins and get in the water with them is to go to the Algarve to the Zoomarine. What they call the Dolphin emotions consists of an educational offer where various knowledge about the bottlenose dolphin, its biology and ecology are transmitted. The participants stay about 30 minutes in the water where, with the supervision of a trainer, they can meet the dolphins, live moments of tenderness and affection and perform a series of aquatic behaviors with these extraordinary ambassadors of the oceans. Throughout the experience, participants are accompanied by an educator who will be able to answer all questions. Including the educational session, the time to change clothes and the session in the water, the total duration of the experience is approximately 90 minutes. Each session has a maximum of 12 participants.
In Rome you also have a park, the ZooMarine where you can spend 90 minutes with the dolphins and live a unique experience.
The area of the Yucatan peninsula is one of the paradises for those who want to swim with dolphins, the natural park of Xel-Há is one of the best places to go swimming with dolphins. Delphinus Xel-Há is immersed in one of the Natural Wonders of Mexico, also considered the largest natural aquarium in the world: the Xel-Há ecological park, which in the Mayan language means “place where the waters are born”. This dolphinarium is located in the Riviera Maya, just 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen, 20 minutes from the archaeological remains of Tulum and an hour and a half from Cancun.
The area of the Yucatan Peninsula is one of the paradises for those who want to swim with dolphins, the natural park of Xcaret is one of the best places to go swimming with dolphins. Delphinus Xcaret is located just 15 minutes from Playa del Carmen, at Km 282 of the Riviera Maya tourist corridor, which runs from Cancun to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.

Councils
When swimming with dolphins it is good to stay calm because despite being very calm animals, they can get nervous.
It is well known that most snails are hermaphroditic, which means that they have both penis and female reproductive system. However, there are other kinds of snail that are only male or female. Whatever its gender, a snail cannot fertilize itself, so it needs a partner to reproduce. But how do snails reproduce? Below reveals in detail what for many is a mystery.
Mating seasons
Regarding the ideal time to reproduce, these invertebrate mollusks prefer spring and autumn because the climate tends to be more temperate, but also quite humid. With a life expectancy of 5 to 7 years, after exceeding 6 or 8 months of age the snail is considered sexually mature.
Seduction game
First, courtship between two snails begins. This game of seduction is presented with the mollusks moving in circles around each other feeling each other with their mouths, and this is how they intertwine their bodies. And it is that as absurd as it may seem, snails also play preliminaries during the mating process, which usually lasts about 20 minutes. These animals need to be excited before copulation, and for that they resort to the calcareous dart of their morphology, located inside the genital orifice.
Copulation
During copulation, one of the snails inserts its dart into the female reproductive system of the other and both wait for it to lodge in the oval pouch of the vagina.
In snails’ reproduction is extremely long, lasting between 10 and 12 hours. This is because after that time is when the eggs are mature and willing to receive the sperm with which to carry out fertilization.
During reproduction, which occurs at night, both snails release strands of DNA at each other in the form of calcium carbonate. When received in the female reproductive system, they dissolve and release sperm. After 10 or 12 hours the eggs mature and accept the sperm, as mentioned, and this action causes both snails to be fertilized, forming eggs inside.
Eggs
After 15 or 20 days, the snails dig a hole underground with their head and foot where they deposit their fertilized eggs, turning it into a nest. Mollusks expel between 50 and 80 eggs of about 3 mm from their genital orifices above this hole. Other snail species can lay around 200 eggs, such as Chinese snails, and even up to 700, such as African Achatina snails.
Birth
Finally, after 16 or 30 days the eggs hatch and the young are born, which remain in the nest for 3 or 5 more days until they leave it. To get outside, they devour the membrane that covers their egg, which provides proteins and mineral salts, as well as the soil that covers their nest. That’s when these snails begin the cycle of life.
Reproduction of other species
