chimpanzees are found from Gambia to Uganda‚ excluding the region bordered by the Congo and Lualaba rivers. Shefferly goes on writing about how chimpanzees can make a habitat out of various types of forests‚ ranging from tropical rainforest to forest-savanna to mountain forests. Adult chimpanzees possess a head and body length of around 635-925mm‚ 25-36.42in for those not versed in the metric system (Shefferly). There is sexual dimorphism in regards to the weight and size

TUNDRA The Tundra is the coldest of all the Biomes and being situated in the extreme north of the planet has desert like conditions. It has extremely low temperatures‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons. There is a very low precipitation of less than five inches a year which is coupled with strong‚ dry winds. There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of

Kilamanjaro Safari‚ is an open-air‚ nearly barrier-free animal reserve at Florida ’s Walt Disney World. It was a major shift from a cow playground to a zone of care for other wise caged animals. Here‚ African animals freely roam through acres of savanna‚ rivers‚ and rocky hills. The rider is advised to be aware‚ "You never know what could happen in the wilderness" (Tate 1).

tundra is an unusually cold and dry climate. Precipitation totals 6-10 inches of rain a year‚ which includes melted snow. This is almost as little as the world’s driest deserts. Coupled with strong and drying winds‚ the tundra is an extreme weather biome. The tundra seems like a wet and soggy place because the precipitation that falls evaporates slowly‚ and because of the poor drainage caused by the permafrost. You can find the tundra climate in Köppen’s E climate category. The Estands for ice climates

ecologists study the interaction of a specific species or habitat; others study the different species that depend on each other (ex. a food web). 3. What is a biome? A biome can be described as an area on our earth that shares the same species‚ climate‚ animals‚ and plants. There are actually about 150 different classified biomes today. The main biomes are Marine‚ Tundra‚ Desert‚ Savannah‚ Grassland‚ Tropical Rain Forest‚ Deciduous Forest‚ and Coniferous Forest. 4. What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem includes

Hardwood evergreen trees which are widely spaced and are found in the Mediterranean region are olive‚ cork‚ oak and stone pine. Temperate Forests The temperate forest biome is found in regions where winters are cold and summers are warm. Regions with this climate are common in the mid-latitudes‚ far from both the equator and the poles. Tropical rainforests are in regions that are consistently warm all year long‚ close

Aksum was located in a savanna region on the eastern Horn of Africa that had a higher rainfall than drier regions further north‚ so food production was well established. However‚ Aksum’s greatest asset was the fact that it was located in a region where ancient caravan routes between
