And weight to the two and after a year of age up to 18 meters in length, and the mother continues to breast-feed small as 7 to 8 months and a maximum of one year and then weaned.OverfishingUnfortunately, the fishing companies Jarret on the blue whale throughout the first half of the twentieth century until almost Tfnyh, and a catch 90% of the whaling industry until it reached the total were caught in one chapter of the chapters of fishing in 1931 more than thirty thousand blue whales As a result, only that I took their numbers continued to decline in the various seas and oceans, even the giant is about this type of extinction .. And not least because of the numbers expected today from the gigantic animal could hardly exceed eleven thousand out of more than two hundred thousand and that was the result of overfishing and environmental pollution.This is known as the type of whale that edentulous, and instead it gave him God the number of panels the cornea, which consists of a substance known as keratin, ranging in number between three hundred and four hundred board known as the (Albalinat) and hang from the sides of the upper jaw, and out of each and every one of those panels filaments in the minutes till its internal direction of the tongue, and the length of the panels, each of which more than a meter and decreases to about half a meter in the direction of front of the mouth, the blue whale's mouth expands to contain 200 tons of water in the Sip one.And is characterized by the body of the whale by about 5070 fold extends from the beginning of the lower jaw to the middle of the bottom of the body (navel) to help the swelling when taking this huge amount of water from the seas and oceans, and from the different life forms wandering (floating) and swimming, particularly the small crustaceans like shrimp known as (Creel), and when you close the blue whale mouth, the water expelled through the panels Albalinat that hold what was the living organisms in a tongue to swallow, and out of pure water from both sides of the mouth because the mouth very wide and flat shaped (U) The inside edge of one at the front of the mouth, so the individual can very from blue whales to eat between 46 tons of floating in the sea alive per day, totaling an average of forty million living organisms.

Tropical forests

Tropical forests
There permanently in the summer of mixed forest located between the tropic and the equator and the basic requirement of tropical forests is the rain without it becoming a desert bush. And rainfall in parts of the world depends on its geographical location in the regions of Central and South America and West Africa and parts of the Pacific rain amounts of rainfall exceeds 130 mm per year, and that was enough for the trees of tropical large and the trees are dark, damp at the bottom and lit with the light of the sun and air at an altitude of 50 meters The extent to which standing has tropical trees in the height is its ability to stand, especially since some types of trees with trunks of strong natural enable them to stand and grow louder and like Larache depend on the other in the dense tropical forests can trees high altitude to get the maximum amount of sunlight and thus grow because sunlight up to it.


It is true that trees Deciduous but do not lose their leaves well in one and there are trees, flowering and other leafy and productive while the rest for other trees and lose their leaves and grow under the trees is weak though it may seem strong because the plants need leaves wide so you can get the maximum amount of sunlight and small plants in tropical forest plants of all air (ie, living on other plants) are growing on other trees sent their roots in the humus of society in the roots of giant trees.

Life in the forest:
All animals of the forest almost can climb trees, frogs, trees, snakes, monkeys, squirrels, urchin trees and birds, of course Klnoa occupies a place between the layers of trees, even a mosquito that breeds in pools of water accumulated live at different altitudes some of it on the high tree and other plant-parasitic on the lower level, life in the forest on the layers of the place was a group apartments. And ice that covered the globe in the last ice age did not reach boiling the tropics so the animals and plants did not ((subject)) to the provisions of the ice, which reduced the species in the north and south, life change very little in places hot and humid and grew relations amazing between some different species. The bear sloths who spends his time Medley of trees and stomach to the above can not walk on the ground and because of the fur green algae live among the hair and there is a private track insects bear lazy because they feed on these algae.


Color and sound:
On the heads of trees to be flowers are small and can be vaccinated by the air, but under the shade of the foliage inhabited the air becomes humid, and here we find the flowers tropical magnificent it is a large, multi-colors to attract insects and hummingbirds and flowers favored by the bird hummingbirds and are usually red, the color most visible to birds. Forest birds and multiple colors and bright colors, although it is not easy to see the sunlight and shadows and the shadow of many animals and birds used a lot of noise sounds of the connection because the vision is not easy.
