Javanese eagle is often considered synonymous as a symbol of our country, the Republic of Indonesia, namely Garuda bird. And since 1992, the Eagle Java has been set as the mascot of endangered species in Indonesia.

Characteristics of Java Eagle.

Eagles characteristics of Java is very easy to look at, where Java has a body Eagles medium to large, slim, and the body length reaches the range of 60 to 70 cm (from tip of beak to tip of tail).

Javanese eagles have reddish brown head (Kadru), and with a high crest prominent (2-4 bristles, length up to 12 cm) and cervical fawn (sometimes visible gold when exposed to sunlight). Crested black with white tip; crown and mustache black, but dark brown back and wings. Whitish throat with a line (actually lines) longitudinal black in it.

Deployment, Habitat and Conservation Javanese eagle.

Distribution of Javanese eagles is only limited on the island of Java, from the west end (Ujung Kulon National Park) to the eastern tip of the peninsula Blambangan purwo. But so is currently limited distribution in areas with primary forest and wooded hills where exactly on the transition to the low-lying mountain areas. Most of the Javanese eagle can be found in at least half of the hemisphere south of the island of Java. Presumably this eagle bird life cycle specializes in location.

Javanese eagles like tropical rain forest ecosystem is always green, in the lowlands or in places higher. Starting from the location near the beach like in the west end and Meru Betiri, up to the mountain forests under and above up to an altitude of 2 200 m and sometimes 3. 000 meters above sea level.

Living area typically Javanese eagle difficult to achieve, although not always far from human activities. Presumably this bird is highly dependent on the presence of primary forest as an area of ​​his life. Although the eagle was found that utilize secondary forests as hunting and nesting area, however it is located adjacent to the vast primary forest.

The hunting of birds of prey perch area in tall trees in the forest. With a swift and agile ambush prey variety in a tree branch or on the ground that, like various types of reptiles, birds such as walik, pigeon, and even more chicken. Also the small to medium sized mammals like squirrels and squirrels, bats, raccoons, until the child monkey.

Spawning period was recorded starting in January until June. Nest-shaped pile of leafy twigs arranged high, made on a tree branch high above the ground 20-30. Eggs amounted to one point, which is incubated along approximately 47 days.

Eagles nest tree where Java is some kind of tall forest trees, like Rasamala (Latin name: Altingia excelsa), pairs (Latin name: Lithocarpus sundaicus), pine (Latin name: pine merkusii), puspa (Latin name: Schima wallichii), and ki sireum (Latin name: eugenia clavimyrtus). Not always by far is in the forest, there is also the nests are found only within 200-300 m from the recreation area.

The habitat, distribution of Java Eagles are extremely rare. Although spacious the habitat, the overall number only 137-188 pairs kuran more birds, or according to the estimated number of individuals Eagles range of about 600 to 1,000 animals. This small population facing a huge threat to the survival of sustainability, which is caused by loss of habitat as well as the type of exploitation. Illegal logging and forest conversion so make agriculture a reduction in primary forest cover in Java. In addition, the existence of Java Eagle also continue to be hunted by humans to be traded on the black market to be made in the pet. Due to its rarity, this bird preserve so as pride, and in turn make the price of this Javanese eagles soar.

Taking into account the size of the population, the location of its habitat is limited and high pressure encountered it, the IUCN World Conservation Organization enter into in the Javanese eagle en status (endangered, threatened with extinction). Thus also, the Indonesian government set as animals are protected by law.

Taxonomic or classification Javanese eagle.

Actually existence has been known since the Javanese eagle ago around 1820, when van hasselt and Kuhl collected two specimens of this bird on the location of the mountain bark to be brought to the museum leiden, Netherlands. However at that point until the end of the 19th century, this bird specimens still calculated as a type of hawk eagle.

But new in 1908, on the basis of the specimen collection Max Bartels made from sand flat, in Sukabumi in 1907, a bird expert at the German country, o. Finsch, recognizing Javanese eagle as a kind of new taxon. He believed it was a child of Spizaetus kelaarti type, a type of falcon in sri lanka. Until then in 1924, prof. Stresemann give the name of the new taxon with bartelsi Specific epithet, as an effort to honor Max Bartels above, as well include it as a child type Spizaetus nipalensis mountain eagle.

This bird is then recognized by the world scientific name is Spizaetus Nipalensis bartelsi, until later in 1953 D. Amadon had proposed to raise the ranking of Javanese eagles and put him to type in a stand-alone, ie Spizaetus bartelsi.

So far, we know the dolphins, monkeys, and dogs as intelligent animals that can be quite remarkable. Yes, animals do have intelligence and can be trained by humans.

Intelligent animals are generally derived from mammals. Rarely do we find intelligent animals of species of birds, even a "bird brain" is often used by people to put others down with him like a "bird brain".

But actually among the animals, a recent study says crows are the most intelligent animals in the world. Is a scientist Bernd Heinrich and Thomas Bugnyar of Vermont University, Canada and St Andrews University, Scotland who conducted the study.

Scientific American magazine published the results of research both of which states that the crow has the mental ability and very good, so that he can adapt well in the environment.

Scientists also say that crows use logic to solve the problem and some of them even exceed the capabilities of the great apes.

In experiments they are doing, crow given complex tasks that they have not encountered before, even this experiment force crows to do something where their instincts are not programmed to have naturally.

The results were surprising, they have always been able to find creative and logical solutions to accomplish these tasks. Even more surprising, they do it right the first time, every time, without any trial and error process.

Another experiment showed that some crows even able to make other animals to work for them, make other animals to find food for them or facilitate their minimum.

The intelligence of crows in the story of the past are also mentioned in the Qur'an:

"Then lust Cain killed his brother makes it easy to assume, because it dibunuhnyalah, then so be it one among the losers." [QS. Al-Ma'idah verse 30]

"Then Allah sent a raven dug the earth to show him (Qabil) how should bury his brother. Said Cain:" Ah wretched me, why I was not able to do as this raven, and I can bury my brother's corpse? "Because of that he became among those who regret." [QS. Al-Ma'idah verse 31]

The verse tells Cain had killed his brother, but he was confused and agitated because they do not know what he should do to the body of his brother.

Then God commanded the ravens to provide an example to Cain about how to bury his brother's corpse. Bird crow digging the ground with legs and beak, and then insert another dead crow in a fight into a hole that had been dug, and covered again with soil.

See the example and teaching given by the raven, then Cain was pensive for a moment and then said to himself: "Ah wretched me, why I was not able to do like this crow, and I can bury my brother's corpse?"

And from the example given by the crows that Cain bury his brother, and until now people also did the same thing when there are other people who have died, that buried them. Thank you for reading this article.

But for some reason this island towns have been abandoned, forgotten and then abandoned. Island City called unique because the city is built in one of the island or the city also constructed so as to form an island in the middle of the ocean.

Deserted Floating City of Oily Rocks.

Including one strange city in the world located offshore Azerbaijan, which is now abandoned and dilapidated. 'Oily Rocks' was built on an offshore rig and grew into a city. Interestingly, most of the 'foundation' of the city take advantage of the material from the sunken wreck. Originally created to serve the oil industry, and provides housing, schools, libraries and shops for workers and their families. Now part of the building is still there, but many roads have disappeared swallowed by the waves.

Originally a natural island on a coral reef about 750 miles northwest of Hawaii, Johnston Atoll has been enlarged over the years by coral dredging. The result: a man-made island that is half of a large military base with accommodations for more than 1,000 people.

Between 1958 and 1975, Johnston Atoll Atoll is used as a nuclear test site for nuclear weapons underground and above ground. Some nuclear test missile was launched from the atoll during "Operation Dominic" in 1962. Johnston Atoll well established as a platform for some of the launch of the first American spy satellites and other scientific rockets. But in 1993, the military mission has been minimized and even this place was abandoned.

Originally intended for the US defense, but for 30 years in construction was not found a good reason to achieve that goal.

During and after the Civil War, the fort began to be used as a prison for deserters and other criminals. In 1874 soldiers left the fort after several hurricanes and epidemics of yellow fever, but around 1898 the place is used navy who use its facilities during the Spanish-American War.

The island was inhabited from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. Facilities such as a cinema, doctor, arcade, restaurant and bar was added later, and the city became a community, developing microcosm. The whole complex is connected via an underground tunnel. At its peak in 1959, Hashima Island is the most densely populated cities in the world, with 5,259 inhabitants on the outcropping, small rocky island. That means there are 835 people for every 2.5 acres.

When petroleum replace coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began closing around the country, and Hashima mine was no exception. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and to this day is empty and empty, so-called Ghost Island. Travel to Hashima now been banned.

Man-Made Abandoned Military Island.

Fort Carroll is an artificial island fortress of 3.4 acres (14,000 m²), which had been abandoned in the middle of the Patapsco River, just south of Baltimore, Maryland. In World War II, was used as a firing range for the Army and a checkpoint for ships.

The government no longer use the castle as a military post in 1920, and the island is declared as 'surplus property' in 1923. In May 1958, a Baltimore attorney purchased the island for $ 10,000, but the development plans never materialized. The fort now remains deserted.

Did You Know Life in Death Valley.

I

In 1848, gold was discovered near Sacramento, California, USA. In the next year, approximately 80,000 fortune seekers flooded the state in hopes of instant wealth. On December 25, 1849, a group, which is part of a convoy of 100 carts, departing from Salt Lake City to the west, into the area now known as Death Valley, or Valley of Death. They hope that the dry lowland near the California-Nevada border is a shortcut.

In it, the air in the valley is cool, but the terrain is dangerous. The group was split up into small groups, each taking a different route. One of the groups, including women and children, trying to find a way out of the valley through the mountains on the west, but to no avail. Due to exhaustion and depleted inventories, they camped at a spring near the site of what is now known as Furnace Creek and then moved on to a water hole later named Bennett's Well. From there, two 20-year-old boy, William Manly and John Rogers, went off to find help. Others remain.

Manly and Rogers hope to arrive in the city of Los Angeles in a few days. They do not know that the city is actually located 300 kilometers to the southwest. After nearly two weeks on foot, they arrived in the San Fernando Valley, in the northern part of the city. There, they get supplies and head out again.

On arrival at the campsite after 25 days away, they saw no signs of life. Manly opened fire, and a man came out from under the wagon. Later, Manly wrote, "He was waving his hands up and shout-'Anak children had gone home. The children had gone home! '"The others also appeared, as much touched so could not speak. Thanks to Manly and Rogers, all but one man survived-he left the camp and walked out of the valley alone. As this group of settlers left the valley, a woman reportedly looked back and said, 'Good-bye, Death Valley!' And that is the origin of the name.

Areas with extreme conditions.

Death Valley-the length is about 225 kilometers and a width of about 8 to 24 kilometers-is the driest, lowest, and hottest in North America. The air temperature at Furnace Creek ever recorded as high as 57 degrees Celsius, while the soil temperature reaches 94 degrees Celsius-6 degrees Celsius below the boiling point of water at sea level! *

The average rainfall there is less than five centimeters a year, and for several years there was no rain at all.
