¿Sabías que hay más insectos que cualquier otro grupo de animales? La diversidad de insectos es asombrosa. ¿Qué tienen en común las hormigas con las abejas? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre una mariposa y una polilla? ¿Cómo están relacionados los gorgojos y las mariquitas? Algunos insectos tienen un par de alas, otros tienen dos pares y hay algunos que no tienen alas. Algunos insectos, aunque no todos, tienen un caparazón duro y externo (exoesqueleto).
Cuando alguien escucha la palabra “panda” generalmente piensa sobre los “osos panda” grandes de color blanco y negro. Sí, los pandas gigantes son un tipo de oso. ¿Y sabías que los pandas rojos son una familia animal propia? Aunque ambos animales puede que no pertenezcan a la misma familia, sí que comparten algunas características similares, tales como su “muñeca pulgar” y su dependencia al bambú.
Las focas y los leones marinos tienen un aspecto similar y algunas veces es complicado saber cuál es cuál. Ambos mamíferos marinos nadan con aletas y pueden encontrarse en océanos alrededor del mundo. Uno tiene orejas visibles, mientras que las orejas del otro no son externas. Uno atraviesa el agua utilizando sus aletas traseras, mientras que el otro usa sus aletas frontales para nadar. Ya sobre tierra, uno rebota hacia sus alrededores, mientras que el otro puede “caminar” sobre sus aletas.
¿Alguna vez te has preguntado qué hay dentro de esa “cosa” en una planta? ¿Y qué hay de lo que vive dentro de ese agujero del árbol o qué vive dentro de esa “pila de hojas o ramas? Explora y aprende por qué algunos de estos objetos de la naturaleza están en el libro más reciente de la Fotógrafa de Naturaleza y Naturalista, Mary Holland.
¿Qué tienen en común y en qué se diferencian los cangrejos y las langostas? Aunque ambos animales viven en el océano, uno prefiere nadar y el otro caminar. Uno puede ser encontrado en pozas costeras y el otro en alta mar. Ambos tienen esqueletos en la parte externa de sus cuerpos. ¡Hay mucho más sobre estos animales además de ser un buen alimento para nosotros!
Seals and sea lions look very similar and it’s sometimes difficult to tell which is which. Both of these marine mammals swim with flippers and can be found in oceans all over the world. One has visible ear flaps while the others’ ears have no external flaps. One swooshes through the water using their back flippers and the other uses their front flippers to swim. On land, one bounces along and the other can “walk” on their flippers.
Have you ever wondered what’s inside that “thing” on the plant? What about what lives in the hole in the tree or what lives inside that “pile of leaves or sticks?” Explore and learn what some of these natural history objects are in this latest book by Nature Photographer and Naturalist Mary Holland.
What do crabs and lobsters have in common, and how are they different? While both animals live in the ocean, one prefers to swim and the other walks. One can be found in coastal tidepools and the other offshore. They both have skeletons on the outside of their bodies. There’s more to these animals than just being good food for us.
Did you know that there are more insects than any other group of animals? The diversity of insects is staggering. What do ants have in common with bees? What’s the difference between a butterfly and a moth? How are ladybugs and weevils related? Some insects have a set of wings, some have two sets but others might not have any. Some, but not all, insects have a hard outer shell (exoskeleton).
When one hears the word “panda” most people immediately think of the large black and white “panda bears.” Yes, giant pandas are a type of bear. Did you know that red pandas are in an animal family of their own? While the two animals may not belong to the same animal family, they do share some similar characteristics like a “thumb wrist” and a reliance on bamboo.
