Poaching Ivory
there are only 400K living African elephants left. Poaching and the illegal ivory trade are responsible for the decrease in the elephant population
HUMAN-ELEPHANT CONFLICT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING ELEPHANTS TOWARD EXTINCTION.
NUMBERING THREE TO FIVE MILLION IN THE LAST CENTURY, HUNTING REDUCED THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT POPULATIONS TO THEIR CURRENT LEVELS. IN THE 1980S, PEOPLE KILLED ABOUT 100,000 ELEPHANTS EACH YEAR, AND WE LOST UP TO 80% OF HERDS IN SOME REGIONS.
Poaching Ivory
Elephants are
“ecosystem engineers”. Their activities create and maintain habitats for other species.
THERE ARE ONLY 490K LIVING ELEPHANTS LEFT IN THE WORLD. EACH YEAR, AT LEAST 20,000 AFRICAN ELEPHANTS ARE ILLEGALLY KILLED FOR THEIR TUSKS. THROUGHOUT HISTORY IVORY HAS BEEN USED IN PRODUCTS FROM JEWELRY TO PIANO KEYS TO
PRICELESS RELIGIOUS ARTIFACTS.

THE ELEPHANT'S TRUNK (WHICH IS BASICALLY THEIR NOSE) ALSO OPERATES AS AN ARM. THEY USE IT TO POUR WATER INTO THEIR MOUTHS, TO GRAB OBJECTS AND TO GROOM THEMSELVES. WHEN ELEPHANTS SWIM IN DEEP WATERS, THEY USE THEIR TRUNKS AS SNORKELS.
TRUNK
ELEPHANTS POSSESS THE LARGEST BRAINS OF ALL LAND ANIMALS, WEIGHING UP TO 6 KILOGRAMS. THEIR BRAIN SIZE IS NOT JUST FOR SHOW; ELEPHANTS ARE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT. MUCH OF AN ELEPHANT'S BEHAVIOR IS LEARNED RATHER THAN INSTINCTIVE.
THEY HAVE EXCELLENT MEMORIES- THEY CAN REMEMBER WATERING HOLES CREATED YEARS AGO, RECOGNIZE HUMANS THEY HAVE SEEN, AND WILL KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME FOR FRUIT HARVESTS.

Whale Sharks are the world's largest fish
THESE HUGE CREATURES CAN GROW UP TO 39 FEET LONG
WHALE SHARKS CAN’T BITE OR CHEW – THEY MOSTLY FILTER PLANKTON THROUGH THEIR GILLS.
DURING FEEDING THEIR MOUTH CAN EVEN STRETCH OVER 1 METER (HI AMERICANS THAT’S 4 FEET) WIDE.
FEEDING
WHALE SHARKS ARE SLOW SWIMMERS- THEIR MOVING SPEED IS NO MORE THAN 4 KPH
SWIMMING
LIKE HUMAN FINGERPRINTS, WHALE SHARKS HAVE A UNIQUE PATTERN OF SPOTS THAT ALLOW INDIVIDUAL SHARKS TO BE IDENTIFIED.
INDIVIDUALITY
THEY TAKE SMALL FISH AS HITCHHIKERS ON THEIR TAIL AND BACK.
SYMBIOSIS
Rhincodon typus

ALL OF MANATEES’ TEETH ARE MOLARS, AND THEIR TEETH ARE CONTINUOUSLY GROWING TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO EAT.
TEETH
DESPITE THEIR MASSIVE BULK, MANATEES ARE GRACEFUL SWIMMERS POWERED BY THEIR STRONG TAILS.
SWIMMING
THEY SPEND ALMOST HALF THE DAY EATING, CONSUMING TEN PERCENT OF THEIR BODY WEIGHT IN PLANT MATTER DAILY. WITH WEIGHTS OF UP TO 550 KG (1,200 POUNDS).
BEHAVIOR
FACTORY FARMING IS EXTREMELY DAMAGING TO THEIR OCEANIC HABITATS.
RISK
MANATEES ARE TYPICALLY FOUND IN SHALLOW COASTAL AREAS AND RIVERS WHERE THEY FEED ON SEA GRASS, MANGROVE LEAVES, AND ALGAE.
HABITAT
MANATEES ARE BORN UNDERWATER. MOTHERS MUST HELP THEIR CALVES TO THE SURFACE SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE THEIR FIRST BREATH, BUT THE INFANTS CAN TYPICALLY SWIM ON THEIR OWN ONLY AN HOUR LATER.

LIFE SPAN
Trichechus manatus
West Indian Manatee
MANATEES, BUOYANT BY NATURE, CANNOT ESCAPE BOATS DUE TO THEIR SLOW SPEED OF 3 TO 5 MPH.
Humans cause half of West Indian manatee deaths, mostly from boat collisions.
Apis mellifera
Honey Bee
LIVES IN LARGE FAMILY GROUPS CALLED COLONIES, EACH CONTAINING AN AVERAGE OF 60,000 INDIVIDUAL BEES.
FEMALE BEES IN THE HIVE (EXCEPT THE QUEEN) ARE CALLED WORKER BEES
THE BEEHIVE
BEES HAVE 5 EYES AND THEY FLY ABOUT 20 MPH
ANATOMY
BEES ARE CRITICAL FOR POLLINATING FOODS LIKE COFFEE, BERRIES, ONIONS, APPLES, AVOCADOS AND MORE. IF HONEY BEES DISAPPEAR, THESE FOODS WILL BECOME SCARCE. TRY TO IMAGINE YOUR MEALS WITHOUT THESE FRESH PRODUCTS.
IMPORTANCE
Sin las abejas, la dieta humana se vería enormemente afectada. La diversidad de alimentos disponibles disminuiría y el costo de los alimentos aumentaría.
Coral reefs are crucial to the environment
DESPITE ONLY COVERING 0.1% OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE. THEY CONTAIN THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF SPECIES OF ANY ECOSYSTEM BESIDES RAINFORESTS AND THEY PROTECT COASTAL AREAS BY REDUCING THE POWER OF WAVES HITTING THE SHORE.
SEVERAL CENTURIES
LIFESPAN:
Corals
