Nurse Their Young Order: Now, let us classify the African lion. We know, of course, that it has a backbone, which immediately places it in the phylum Chordata and subphylum Vertebrata. We also know that it nurses its young. This places it in the group with all those animals that produce milk to nurse their young. They are called mammals and belong to the class Mammalia. Next we know that it is a meat eater, with teeth specialized for biting and tearing prey. This puts it in the order Carnivora. Then scientists tell us that the lion belongs to the family Felidae, meaning catlike. Since it is a cat, the genus is Felis, but the particular species which is like no other cat is a lion, leo.
In outline it is like this:
Phylum: Chordata (Latin—a chord)—all have notochords Subphylum: Vertebrata (Latin—a joint)—all have jointed back¬bones
Class: Mammalia (Latin—breast)—all nurse their young Order: Carnivora (Latin—flesh-eating)—all are flesh eaters Family: Felidae (Latin—cat)—all are catlike Genus: Felis (Latin—cat)—all are cats.See Also That The Young Fry:Gestation takes 16 days; 7-15 in litter; young born pink, naked, and blind. Do not disturb young or mother for at least a week after birth; if disturbed mother will either kill and eat the young or ne¬glect them and allow them to die. After 3 weeks, remove young from mother; otherwise, mother fights with them and often kills them. Sexes should be separated before young reach maturity at 43 days.
Food changes as creature grows; young feed almost en¬tirely on aquatic insects and crustaceans; later take frogs, snakes, and fishes; then fishes, young pigs, muskrats, and some waterfowl; adult takes fishes, pigs, and larger animals that the young fry stray too close to water's edge, such as cows, calves, and deer.
Voice: Both young and old alligators hiss; female grunts like a pig in calling young; young make moaning sound, with mouth closed.
On The Other Hand See Young King:The choice for a monarch again fell on a young prince, this time on the second son of the future ruler of Denmark. The 18-year-old Prince William now became George I, king of the Hellenes. His title was intended to designate his theoretical supremacy over all Greeks both within and without the state. Since the King had been the British candidate, that power gave Greece the Ionian Islands, which had been held as a protectorate by Britain since 1815.
After the restoration of the monarchy in 1946, the tendency of the king and the government to quarrel—a condition that had played such a large part in previous Greek politics—continued. Such a conflict played a major role in the downfall of Karamanlis. Papandreou and the young King now came to differ sharply over the position that the monarch should hold in Greek politics. |
