Canis lupus familiaris(The Dog)

Hello Friends,   
                Today we are talk about Canis lupus familiaris (Dog). 
        so get ready..
Dog
Canis lupus familiaris(The Dog) The domestic mammal of the family. It is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and is related to foxes and jackals. The dog is one of the two most ubiquitous and most popular domestic animals in the world (the cat is the other). For more than 12,000 years it has lived with humans as a hunting companion, protector, object of scorn or adoration, and friend.

Canis lupus familiaris (the dog) is possibly the first animal to have been domesticated by humans. It has been selectively bred into a wide range of different forms. They are found throughout the world in many different habitats, both closely associated with humans and away from habitation. They are active hunters and have significant negative impacts on a wide range of native fauna.Dogs are regarded differently in different parts of the world. Characteristics of loyalty, friendship, protectiveness, and affection have earned dogs an important position in Western society, and in the United States and Europe the care and feeding of dogs has become a multibillion-dollar business. Western civilization has given the relationship between human and dog great importance, but, in some of the developing nations and in many areas of Asia, dogs are not held in the same esteem. In some areas of the world, dogs are used as guards or beasts of burden or even for food, whereas in the United States and Europe dogs are protected and admired. In ancient Egypt during the days of the pharaohs, dogs were considered to be sacred.
Domestic dogs inherited   complex behaviors, such   as bite inhibition, from their   wolf ancestors, which would   have been pack hunters with  complex body language. These  sophisticated forms of social cognition and communication may account for their Trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations, and these attributes have given dogs a relationship with humans that has enabled them to become one of the most successful species on the planet today.

The dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This influence on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.

They also have a wider field of vision.Like wolves, wild dogs travel in groups called packs. Packs of dogs are ordered by rank, and dogs with low rank will submit to other dogs with higher rank. The highest ranked dog is called the alpha male. A dog in a group helps and cares for others. Domesticated dogs often view their owner as the alpha male.
Thank you.
Domestic dogs come in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes. They have been selectively bred for millenia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes, including dogs bred for herding livestock (collies, sheperds, etc.), different kinds of hunting (pointers, hounds, etc.), catching rats (small terriers), guarding (mastiffs, chows), helping fishermen with nets (Newfoundlands, poodles), pulling loads (huskies, St. Bernard's), guarding carriages and horsemen (dalmatians), and as companion dogs. Some kinds were even bred simply as lap warmers (Pekingese). Their basic morphology though, no matter how modified, is that of their wild ancestors

Hello Friends today we are talk about in  Environment of india . The  natural environment  encompasses all  living  and non-living things occurring  naturally , meaning in this case not  artificial . The term is most often applied to the  Earth  or some parts of Earth. This environment encompasses the interaction of all living  species ,  climate , weather and natural resources that affect human survival and economic activity. In 1992, around 7,43,534 km 2   of land in the country was under forests and 92 percent of that belonged to the government. Only 22.7 percent was forested compared to the recommended 33 percent by the National Forest Policy Resolution (1952). Majority of it are broad-leaved   deciduous   trees which comprise one-sixth   sal   and one-tenth   teak .   Coniferous   types are found in the northern high altitude regions and comprise   pines ,   junipers ...

Hello Friends Today we are talk about on the Nature Creature Parrot. Class :  Aves Order :  Psittaciformes;  Wagler , 1830 Kingdom :  Animalia Phylum :  Chordata Scientific name :  Psittaciformes Lifespan :  Kakapo : 95 years,  Hyacinth macaw : 50 years. History of Parrots: The first record of a parrot being kept as a pet in the British Isles is 1504, when Prince Henry Tudor, later Henry VIII, took possession of an African Grey. Parrots had been kept as pets long before this, however, in their native countries, particularly the pacific islands and South America. There is evidence that the bird was being kept in Brazil 5,000 years ago; India 3,000 years ago; Egypt 2,000 years ago; and China 1800 years ago. Alexander the Great brought pet Ring-necked Parakeets to Greece in 327BC, and the Alexandrine Parakeet was named after him. The Romans were fond of the birds too, and many were kept in the E...

Hello Friends today We talk About on Giraffe  camelopardalis  .   Scientific Name :  Giraffa camelopardalis Type : Mammals Dite : Herbivore Average Life Span in the Wild : 25 years Size : 14 to 19 feet Weight : 1,750 to 2800 pounds Common Name : Giraffe G iraffe  i s traditionally considered to be one  species ,  Giraffa camelopardalis , with nine  subspecies . However, the existence of up to eight extant giraffe species has been described, based upon research into the  mitochondrial  and  nuclear DNA , as well as morphological measurements of  Giraffa . Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils. Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet . These long legs allow giraffes to run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles an hour ...
