Animals At Everest Mountain

Postby Minh Chau » 08 Apr 2006

Image

Yellow ant
This ant, photographed in Nepal, is a member of the genus Lasius. Their cousins in the Alps serve as natural compasses for goatherders since they build grassy mounds that always face east

Image

Giant "yak killer" hornet
The giant Asian hornet (Vespa mandarinia) has earned the nickname “yak killer” from local villagers. At nearly 2 inches long, they’re the world’s largest hornets. Victims describe their quarter-inch-long stingers as feeling like a hot nail. The stinger delivers a lethal venom that dissolves human tissue, and, as the name implies, can kill a yak.

Image

New grasshopper
“Hey! Get off my back!” This new wingless grasshopper species, Kingdonella, was discovered in China. The male of this group rides the females’ back for days at a time to prevent other males from mating with her. These hoppy insects can withstand extremely low temperatures and communicate by “gnashing” their teeth

Image

Torrent Frog
A torrent frog, photographed in China. Recent studies have shown that a torrent frog’s specialized ears allow it to communicate with friends using ultrasonic chirps

Image

Elusive katydid
So it does exist! The expedition team lucked out and spotted this katydid, a type of grasshopper, in China. This particular species, Tettigoni chinensis, had only been spotted once since 1933. Click to enlarge.

Image

Role’s pika
Here’s a Royle’s pika, Ochotona roylei, sunning itself on a rock in Nepal. When they sense that a predator is sneaking up, the let out a shrill warning call and their bodies jerk forward and up with each bark and whistle. At nighttime they eat their own feces to maximize the nutrients they get from food.

Image

Parrotbill
This rolly, polly bird is a Fulvous Parrotbill (Paradoxornis fulvifrons). They live mostly in reedbeds or bamboo stands, which are also their main source of food. They have short, heavy, and wide parrot-like beaks to cope with these tough grasses.

Image

Giant Panda
This Giant Panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca happily snacks on a piece of bamboo grass in China. Pandas are well known for their black-and-white coloring, which some scientists think they developed to spot other pandas more easily in dense forests.

Image

Qinghai vole
A new subspecies of a small mammal known as the Qinghai vole (Microtus fuscus), a new record for the Sichuan province.

Image

Red panda
Here’s a critter who doesn’t like having its picture taken. The Red Panda, Ailurus fulgens and also known as the Lesser Panda, is a bit of a classification enigma for scientists—this cat-sized bamboo chomper has been grouped with raccoons, bears, and even skunks. Recent DNA analysis suggests it might belong to its own, unrelated family.

Image

Jumping "Yeti" mouse
Not quite as formidable as the abominable snowman, the Sichuan jumping "Yeti" mouse (Eozapus setchuanus) from China can be identified by the ‘Y’ marking on its cute, fuzzy belly.

Image

Golden monkey
A female Qinling golden monkey, also known as Rhinopithecus roxellana or the snub-nosed monkey, photographed on the Zhouzhi Reserve. This particular lady has no reason to frown—once critically endangered, these monkeys are now thriving

Image

Paa Frog
A Paa frog, photographed in Nepal. Ever wonder why frogs are green? Follow this link to find out. It’s not as easy as you might think.

Nhìn thấy đẹp lắm, nhưng mấy con đó làm cho CMC nổi da gà không dám ăn cơm, toàn những con ngầu quá, không có con nào là yểu điệu cả, CMC chỉ thích những con thuỳ mỵ dễ thương như mèo, thỏ, chó kiểng chứ đừng là chó săn, CMC, sợ lắm. CMC còn nhớ 1 chuyện xảy ra vào dịp tết 2004, mới có mùng 3 tết mà phải bị chó hàng xóm thuộc loại chó giữ nhà, cắn cho mấy dấu phải đi chích ở viện thú y, mất công toi gần 70 USD, bây giờ nghe nói tới chó săn là tức muốn cành hông luôn.
