THEY NEED WATER TO COMPLETE THEIR LIFE

CYCLES. THE LARVAE OF MOSQUITOES ARE

FOUND IN ALMOST ANY BODY OF WATER THAT IS
STAGNANT FOR AT LEAST A WEEK, FROM
ECUADOR TO NEAR THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. THERE
NO NEEDS TO BE A LOT OF WATER. IN MOST
CASES, A HEIGHT OF 1 CM OF WATER MAY BE
SUFFICIENT TO COMPLETE THEIR LARVAL STAGE.
Mosquitoes have four
developmental stages in his life:
egg, larva, pupa and adult.

The mosquitoes

ACORDING WITH BILL GATES MOSQUITOES

ARE THE MOST LETHAL TO HUMANS BEINGS.
USING A GRAPH SHOWN IN AN UPWARD
LISTS THE NUMBER OF DEATHS CAUSED
EACH YEAR BY SHARKS (10) HIPPOS (500),
SNAKES (50,000), THE HUMAN BEING, AS IT
IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF
OTHERS; AND IN FACT IS THE PENULTIMATE
WITH 475,000 VICTIMS. BUT THE MOSQUITO
CAUSES 725,000 DEATHS A YEAR.

The cheetah

IS A BIG CAT IN THE

SUBFAMILY FELINAE THAT
INHABITS MOST OF AFRICA
AND PARTS OF IRAN.
IT IS THE ONLY EXTANT
MEMBER OF THE GENUS
ACINONYX.
THE CHEETAH CAN RUN AS
FAST AS 109 TO 120 KM/H
FASTER THAN ANY OTHER
LAND ANIMAL. IT COVERS
DISTANCES UP TO 500 M.
IN SHORT BURSTS, AND
CAN ACCELERATE FROM 0
TO 96 KM/H IN ONLY THREE
SECONDS.

THE COARSE, SHORT FUR OF THE CHEETAH IS TAN WITH

ROUND BLACK SPOTS MEASURING FROM 2 TO 3 CM ACROSS,
AFFORDING IT SOME CAMOUFLAGE WHILE HUNTING. THERE
ARE NO SPOTS ON ITS WHITE UNDERSIDE, BUT THE TAIL HAS
SPOTS, WHICH MERGE TO FORM FOUR TO SIX DARK RINGS AT
THE END. THE CHEETAH HAS A SMALL HEAD WITH HIGH-SET
EYES. BLACK "TEAR MARKS" RUNNING FROM THE CORNER OF
ITS EYES DOWN THE SIDES OF THE NOSE TO ITS MOUTH KEEP
SUNLIGHT OUT OF ITS EYES AND AID IN HUNTING AND SEEING
LONG DISTANCES. ITS THIN AND FRAGILE BODY MAKE IT WELLSUITED TO SHORT BURSTS OF HIGH SPEED, BUT NOT TO LONGDISTANCE RUNNING.
