David A Lasss introduction to angelfish fulfills its subtitle, "Understanding and Keeping Angelfish," and more. This colorful guide in the Fish Keeping Made Easy series discusses angelfish in their natural Amazon rain forest habitat in South America and the needs of this beautiful and recognizable fish in the home aquarium based on their dietary, water conditions, and behavior in the wild. The chapter "Angelfish Groups" describes the three species of angelfish (Pterophyllum altum, P. leopoldi, and P. scalare), the most popular twelve color variations seen in local pet stores, and the special traits of the species. Separate chapters are devoted to selection and care, feeding and diet, and reproduction. The author discusses the keeping of angelfish in an "all-angel" tank (shoal of angelfish!) as well as in a community tank, and gives solid advice on selection of equipment and live plants. A chapter on parasites and diseases will be of great use to all fishkeepers trying to avoid fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases in their tanks as well as general treatment protocols and hospital tanks. Glossary as well as resources of websites and publications conclude the guide.

Che cosa passa nella mente del nostro cane, quando ci guarda dritto negli occhi? Sta davvero pensando? E il gatto come ci vede e considera? Pensa che siamo esseri strani con zampe lunghe e una pelliccia sulla testa o ci vede come dei grossi gatti? E come riescono i corvi a utilizzare al meglio i loro strumenti del mestiere per catturare gli insetti? Cosa passa nella testa dei delfini quando si esercitano in squadre contrapposte? Attraverso esperienze personali, studi scientifici, ricerche e osservazioni, siamo in grado di riuscire a capire molto di quello che pensano gli animali. Solamente evitando di usare lo stesso metro che utilizziamo per noi, ci possiamo rendere conto che gli animali non sono affatto esseri inferiori, sono semplicemente differenti. In un mondo piu arcaico e completo del nostro, gli animali si muovevano compiuti e perfetti, dotati di percezioni sensoriali che noi non abbiamo mai avuto o abbiamo perduto.

Aardvarks are small pig-like mammals that are found inhabiting a wide range of different habitats throughout Africa, south of the Sahara. They are mostly solitary and spend their days sleeping in underground burrows to protect them from the heat of the African sun, emerging in the cooler evening to search for food. Their name originates from the Afrikaans language in South Africa and means Earth Pig, due to their long snout and pig-like body. Aardvarks are unique among animals as they are the only surviving species in their animal family. Until recently it was widely believed that they were most closely related to other insectivores such as armadillos and pangolins but this is not the case with their closest living relatives actually thought to be elephants.

Cheetah Classification and EvolutionThe Cheetah is a large and powerful feline that was once found throughout Africa and Asia and even in parts of Europe. Today however, it is found in only a few remote regions of its once vast natural range, primarily due to growing Human settlements and the hunting of them for their fur. There are widely considered to be five different subspecies of Cheetah that vary only very slightly in colouration and are most easily distinguished by their geographic location. Although they are not considered to be part of the big cat family as they cannot roar, Cheetahs are one of Africas most powerful predators and are most renowned for their immense speed when in a chase. Capable of reaching speeds of more than 60mph for short periods of time, the Cheetah is the fastest land mammal in the world.
