STOP ANIMAL ABUSE! ... ( this post may be upsetting or very graphical for some people watching).

Please act on animal abuse.
Help stop it.

Ammonite / Ammonoidea

Ammonites are named after the Egyptian god Ammon, who is often 

depicted with rams' horns behind each ear.

The ammonites are actually pre-historic and also extinct. They went extinct with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, Ammonites first appeared about 240 million years ago. Surprisingly they are Carnivore's.

When they are in a group they are called a school.

Ammonites constantly built new shell as they grew, 

Ammonites were predatory, squid-like creatures that lived inside coil-shaped shells. Like other cephalopods, ammonites had sharp, beak-like jaws inside a ring of tentacles that extended from their shells to snare prey such as small fish and crustaceans.

Their size relative to a 6ft man is:

Some ammonites grew so big they were 3ft!

American Crocodile / Crocodylus acutus

The american crocodile is a prehistoric reptile, carnivore which is living in a shrinking environment.

This large crocodile lives for around 70 years old, when they are in a group on 

land they are called a bask and in water a float.

Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, birds, fish, crabs, insects, 

snails, frogs, and occasionally carrion. They have been known to attack people, but are far 

more likely to flee at the sight of humans.

Most countries in the American crocodile's range have passed protection laws, but unfortunately, few governments provide adequate enforcement.

American Bullfrog / Rana catesbeiana

  AMERICAN BULLFROG...
American bullfrogs will ambush and eat just about anything they can fit in their giant mouths.

This frog can live for 7-9 years, they are amphibian and surprisingly carnivores!
They eat literally anything from insects, mice, fish, birds, and snakes. They sit quietly and wait for prey to pass by, then lunge with their powerful hind legs, mouths open wide.

Did you know? 
A female bullfrog can lay as many as 20,000 eggs, which float in a clump on the surface of the water.

American Bison / Bison bison

With such large, sharp horns, bison are formidable foes.

During mating season, bulls fight for the right to breed with other cows, 

but rarely duel to the death.

A Bison must have thick, shaggy fur for the snow and ice and 

surprisingly the snow and ice can just rest on the Bison's back! 

These large mammals are herbivores and can live from 12-20 years.

When Bison's are grouped together they are called a herd.

Bison, symbolic animals of the Great Plains, are often mistakenly called buffaloes. 

By any name, they are formidable beasts and the heaviest land animals in North America.

These large grazers feed on plains grasses, herbs, shrubs, and twigs. 

They regurgitate their food and chew it as cud before final digestion.

Today, bison numbers have rebounded somewhat, and about 200,000 bison live on preserves and ranches where they are raised for their meat.

Monday dancing day!

Amazon Horned Frog Ceratophrys cornuta

These Indiscriminate eaters, Amazon horned frogs can grow to about the size of a small plate, or a tea cup.

They are amphibians and obviously live in the Amazon, and are carnivores.
Their size is quite large for a frog, it reaches to 20 centimetres in length.

They are found in freshwater marshes and pools throughout the Amazon Basin, from Colombia to Brazil.

The Horned Amazon frog kills its prey, by suffocating it by squeezing its body or shoving it under the leaves etc. 

But when anything smaller than their own bodies happens to come by, they spring from the mud and swallow their prey whole, locking it in their jaws with their sharp teeth.

Their ravenous appetite and huge mouths have earned them and other horned frogs the pet-trade nickname "PAC - Man frogs."

Females are generally larger than males, but males are more ornately coloured, ranging from dark green to lime-coloured. Females are usually tan. Scientists are also unsure of what the horns on the frogs head are used for.
