Is There Really a Pink Elephant


You may not have ever seen a pink elephant; however, even though it does not happen a lot, there are pink elephants in nature. There are reasons why some elephants are pink in color. This condition occurs extremely rarely, and it can be found in the African elephant. There are scientists that believe that this condition is actually albinism in the elephant. There is a slim chance for albino elephants to survive because of the bright sun that is in Africa. The sun causes a lot of problems for any albino animals in this area because it can cause blindness as well as a list of other skin problems.

Giraffes and the Jugular Vein

The jugular vein that runs the length of the giraffe's neck is an extremely important part of them being able to drink water. This vein has a number of valves that reduce the amount of backflow of blood from the giraffe's head.

This is important because if this vein did not have the valves, the giraffes would blackout each time that they took a drink. If you stand on your head or hang upside-down too long, you can begin to feel the blood that rushes into your head. This is kind of the same thing that happens to giraffes, only it has a major effect on these animals.

Typically, giraffes can drink about 10 gallons of water each day. Normally, they will get water from the rivers and seas that are around them.

The peafowl is a bird that is most commonly known as the peacock. These kinds of birds are most recognizable because of their brightly colored feathers. Of course, just as with most birds, the male of the species is the one that has bright feathers, and the female is brown and white. When the male peafowl is trying to impress a female for mating, he will fan out his feathers in a beautiful display. The peafowl can be found in areas of Pakistan and India. These birds were also located in Bangladesh; however, they are now thought to be extinct in this area of the world.

 The peafowl is an omnivore, and they forage for their food. In the forests of India, the birds eat insects, grains, berries, and small reptiles and mammals. In order to reproduce, the males will set up territories, and the females will wander through these territories until they find a male that they would like to mate with. Once the mating is over, the female is left to care for the young. The female will make a nest and lay anywhere between three and six eggs. Once the chicks hatch from the eggs, they follow their mother in order to learn how to forage and care for themselves.
