Cassowary Most Dangerous.

Cassowary is a bird countrymen have a very large body size and unable to fly. Cassowary which is a protected animal in Indonesia and also the identity of the province of West Papua fauna consists of three types (species). The third species is the Cassowary Cassowary wattle Single (Casuarius unappendiculatus), Cassowary wattle Double (Casuarius casuarius), and Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti).

Cassowary is a big beautiful bird charming. But behind the beauty of the Cassowary have an aggressive nature and tend to be grumpy when disturbed. Casuarius bergrnus bird is very fierce and angry and did not hesitate to pursue the 'victims' or the intruder. Hence in the garden of beast, Cassowary not allowed to roam free. In fact it is said, The Guinness Book of Records as the birds enter the Cassowary the most dangerous in the world. Although for the record I have not been able to verify to the website of The Guinness Book of Records.

Cassowary is an endemic bird that lives only on the island of Papua and its surroundings, except Cassowary wattle Double (Casuarius casuarius) which can also be found in the northeastern part of the Australian continent. In English, wattle Cassowary Double (Casuarius casuarius) called (Southern Cassowary), wattle Single Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) called (Northern Cassowary) and dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) referred to as (Dwarf Cassowary).

The characteristics and Behavior. Cassowary have body sizes are very large, except Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) the size of the body is smaller. Cassowary bird can not fly. Adult cassowary has reached 170 cm tall, and has black fur that is hard and stiff.

The cassowary has a horn on its head high brown. Females are similar to males, and usually larger and more dominant.

Cassowary very long legs and strong. The legs became the main weapon of rare and protected birds. Cassowary capable of kicking leg and knock down his enemies, including humans, only with a single kick. Perhaps because of the kick, and aggressiveness is not an exaggeration if then The Guinness Book of Records bestowed on him as the most dangerous bird in the world.

At Cassowary there are two double wattle red wattle on the neck with the neck skin blue. While at Cassowary wattle Single (Casuarius unappendiculatus), as the name implies has only one wattle.

Cassowary which include protected animals from extinction is eating fruits that fall from the tree. Cassowary used to living alone, and in pairs only during the mating season only. Cassowary chicks incubated by the male.

Although the cassowary has a great body, but apparently not much is known about this endemic birds of Papua. Especially for species of wattle Single cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) and the dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti).

Habitat and Deployment. Single wattle Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) and the dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) is a species endemic to the island of Papua (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea), whereas the double wattle Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) apart on the island of Papua, also located on the island of Seram (Moluccas, Indonesia) and the Australian northeast. Cassowary has a habitat in the lowland forest area included in a swamp.

Population and Conservation. Cassowary bird populations is not known with certainty but is believed to be from day to day has decreased. Therefore IUCN Redlist enter wattle Dual Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) and wattle Single cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) in the conservation status of Vulnerable (Vulnerable) since 1994. Medium Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) given conservation status Near Threatened (Near Threatened). Cassowary is the threat of extinction because of hunting both for meat, feathers or eggs.

Eagles get to know Java.

Javanese eagle has a Latin name Nisaetus bartelsi, which is one of the species of eagle that has a medium body size that lives in Java. 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. On the chest chest area, there are black graffiti spread over pale brownish yellow color, which in turn at the bottom again turned into a line pattern (scribble) meeting transverse brown to brownish red color above pale whitish belly feathers and feet. Feathers on the legs closed legs up close to the base of the finger Javanese eagle. Tail dark brown with four lines and the transverse width visible on the bottom side, and white striped tail end is not thick. Females of the same color, a little bigger.

Iris owned Javanese eagle yellow or brownish; half-black; sera or meat at the base of the beak yellowish; foot (finger) yellowish. Young Javanese eagles with head, neck and lower body Javanese eagle light cinnamon brown, without streaks or lines.

When flying, eagle same Java with changeable hawk-eagle (nisaetus cirrhatus) form of light, but inclined to look more brownish, with stomach seemed darker, and the size is a little smaller.

Java Eagle chirp sound very loud, repetitive, or ii klii-iiw-iiiw, vary in one to three syllables. Or a high-pitched sound and rapid kli-kli-kli-kli-kli. And to some extent, is similar to the tone of her voice changeable hawk-eagle although the difference is quite clear in his tone.

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.

About Crow.

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.

Some nuclear test missile was launched from the atoll during "Operation Dominic" in 1962.

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.
