- I really liked this website, the high quality of the visual material and the great variety of individuals that we can compare with actual photos of their bodies. On the page you can find sheep heart dissection (with a short description and details to take in consideration of this organ), sheep brain, cat muscles, and bovine eye, among others. An excellent place to complement the study of anatomy in this career.

 

A Country I would like to visit

Hi classmates ! Today I will write about a country I want to visit. I've always wanted to travel to Australia. I think it's because I like their beaches, flora and fauna. I really admire the way in which they maintain and protect their wildlife and environment .

Australia is divided into six states, two mainland territories, and other minor territories, Nueva Gales del Sur (NSW), Queensland (QLD), Australia Meridional (SA), Tasmania (TAS), Victoria (VIC) y Australia Occidental (WA). The states areThe capital of Australia is Canberra. Othe important cities are Sydney,  Melbourne, Adelaide and Darwin.

Although most of Australia is desert or semi-arid, it exists in a wide range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests.

Most Australian woody plants are evergreen and are adapted to fire and drought, including many species of eucalyptus and acacia.

The Australian fauna is known for the presence of marsupials and monotremes flashy, in addition to these typical animals and famous, Australia characterizes the extraordinary abundance of venomous animals, many of them deadly to humans. Australian marsupials are characterized by the variety of species adaptive these include several species of kangaroos, koalas, wombats, the Tasmanian Devil.

A Picture I like..

I remember this very well, one summer evening at home about a year ago I was playing with my fat Lulu (pictured) after running back and forward my little fat went to rest, she gets tired really fast, she’s no longer in age for games, when I saw that she went to lie down with her new toy (a rubber chicken, she tore the head the same day we give it to her) I saw practically posing for me <3 so I ran to get the camera and take the picture, although she turned her head, it came out beautiful!.

This photo is very special to me, beyond the fact that it is beautiful and was taken by the best photographer XD It reminds me every day that I have lived with my preciousness, the joy of the home, the one that is sad to see me leave every morning to go to University and the one that jumps (just a little bit because she’s an old lady: 3) of happiness when I’m back. She is just all to me…

1. Visit the Animals Section > Photos

I like the polar bear for his greatness and strength to survive in this world, every day we destroy their environment and they manage to get out the front anyway. One of the greatest animals in this planet.

They are small so helpless, suffering because of the irresponsibility of people that throws garbage into the sea; many of them die because of this. They are simply beautiful.


2. Visit Video Section > Animals

World's Weirdest: World's Biggest Spider 

Awesome Video! At the beginning I only wanted to see it out of curiosity, but then I was surprised that the goliath spider could eat animals the size of a bird or a mouse, not to mention his incredible means of defense against predators. A little giant.

World's Deadliest: Tiger vs. Deer

I have always admired tigers they are incredible animals, their mix of beauty and strength it’s something I could never stop paying attention to. It is spectacular the speed and stealth performs the hunting. All this requires the machine great many kilos of meat daily 6.

3. Recommend any other section or subsection of the website.

- Animal Conservation

A wonderful section that shows the loss of animal species, irreversible and potentially catastrophic that this might be, if not so heartbreakingly sad. In this section we find beautiful images, videos and testimonies of people who struggle every day to save lives.
