Project on the theme of animal champions. Presentation "animals - champions in numbers". The largest rodent is the Capybara or Guinea pig.

ANIMALS - RECORDS

In this presentation, you will learn about which animals in one way or another are champions. It could be the lifespan of the animal, its speed, or some other factor that makes it unique.

What is the fastest animal on land?

What is the fastest animal in the air?

What is the fastest animal in the water?

The fastest representative of the animal world - cheetah. His whole body is designed to run fast. Light weight, streamlined skull, elongated torso, elastic spine, powerful paws and a long tail, which serves as a “rudder” for the cheetah when turning. In 2 seconds, it reaches speeds of up to 75 km / h, and in 3 seconds - up to 120 km / h. In the speed of acceleration, it surpasses even a racing car. But he can maintain a record speed only for a few seconds. But at speeds up to 90 km / h, the cheetah is able to run for almost 10 minutes. The cheetah is a recognized sprinter in the animal world and rare prey will be able to get away from him.

The fastest among birds, and indeed of all living things, is peregrine falcon . It is a small bird, about the size of a crow. It flies high in the sky looking for prey. The falcon's eyesight is so sharp that it can recognize its prey from a height of 300m. When he finds her, he throws himself down with a stone and strikes her with his sharp claws. The blow is so strong that the victim's head can be torn off. The fall speed of the peregrine falcon reaches 320 km / h, and the speed record is 440 km / h, which is comparable to the speed of an airplane. This bird is called the king of dive flight. People have long used falcons to hunt birds, foxes and hares.

But the fastest representative underwater world is swordfish. She is able to accelerate to 130 km/h. It has a long, streamlined body covered with thick skin without scales and an elongated snout in the shape of a sword or beak, for which it got its name. The swordfish lives in the warm waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. There are cases when a swordfish pierced with its nose the hull of a vessel made of iron 2 cm thick. And it also happened that, having broken through the boat and failed to free itself, the fish died. Scientists believe that the reason for the attacks on ships may be that the fish at high speed simply do not have time to dodge or change the trajectory. It's pretty big fish, its weight reaches 700 kg, and the length of the body reaches 4.5 m.

What is the largest modern animal?

What is the largest sushi animal?

What is the smallest mammalian animal?

Blue whale(also blue whale, or blue whale , lat . Balaenoptera musculus) - a marine animal from the detachment cetaceans pertaining to mustachioed whales(genus minke whales). The largest whale, the largest modern animal, and also probably the largest of all animals that have ever lived on Earth. Its length reaches 33 meters, and the weight can significantly exceed 150 tons

elephant (lat. elephantidae) - family mammals detachment proboscis. The largest land animals living on Earth. They live in South-East Asia and Africa in tropical forests and savannas. Elephants have an ear for music and a musical memory, they are able to distinguish three-note melodies, music on the violin and low sounds of bass and horn prefer high flute melodies

pig-nosed bat (Craseonycteris thonglongyai) is currently the smallest animal in the world. Belongs to the mammals of the order Chiroptera. It is quite rare, and was first discovered only about 30 years ago by the Thai biologist Kitty Thonglongya. Notable for its incredibly small body. So, the length of an adult is about 3 centimeters, and the weight is about 2 grams! It is comparable in size to many insects , with them it is very often confused. The mouse has wide and long wings, a nose that looks like a pig's snout, large ears, but there is no tail. The skull is quite large and occupies a third of the entire length of the body. Teeth 28. As for the color, it is gray or brown, the abdomen is slightly lighter.

What is the longest living organism on earth?

Which animal has the shortest life?

What is the largest bird?

What is the smallest bird?

Which bird has the sharpest eye?

Which bird has the longest and most beautiful tail?

African ostrich ( lat. Struthio camelus) - keelless flightless bird, the only living member of the family ostrich (Struthinodae). Its scientific name in Greek means " sparrow - camel» The African ostrich is the largest of modern birds: up to 270 cm high and weighing up to 156 kg.

Hummingbird(lat. Trochilidae) - a family of small birds, the only one in the order hummingbirds(lat. Trochiliformes). More than 330 species are known. They come from America (from South Alaska and Labrador to Tierra del Fuego). The only bird in the world that can fly backwards. The smallest kind - bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is found in Cuba, almost 7 cm long and weighing less than 2 g.

Representatives of birds of prey have the sharpest eyesight. From the research of specialists it is known that the owner of the most keen eye - peregrine falcon (pilgrim, real falcon). This representative of the falcon lives everywhere except for Antarctica. On distance 8 kilometers he can notice the prey and keep an eye on it until he catches it. Therefore, for a long time, hunters preferred to take birds from the falcon family with them.

THANKS FOR ATTENTION!

The world of animals constantly surprises with its unique beauty.

Complete the list of champions.

Slide text: Record-breaking animals

Slide text: Which animals are the fastest? The fastest animals that run on land are cheetahs. They can run at speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour. That is, a cheetah can catch up with a car traveling at a fairly high speed. In the sky, the speed record holder is the peregrine falcon. He, in pursuit of the victim, can accelerate to a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The peregrine falcon develops such speed when it deliberately falls down in order to unexpectedly grab its prey. In water, tuna develops the highest speed. This fish can swim at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

Slide text: What are the largest animals? The largest animal in the world is the whale. The whale lives in sea ​​water. Its weight is 150 tons. The second largest marine animal is the whale shark. Its weight is approximately 12-14 tons. The largest animal on land is the elephant. An elephant can weigh more than 5 tons. The largest and heaviest bird on earth is the ostrich. He is very tall - up to 2.5 meters, and his weight is more than 130 kilograms.

Slide text: Which animal is the strongest? Oddly enough, but the most powerful animal is an ant. This little insect is very industrious. It can lift a pebble or some other object that weighs fifty times more than an ant. If we take, for example, an elephant, then he will not be able to lift even ½ of his weight. Although he carries huge logs that no living creature on the planet can lift, the log still weighs less than an elephant. The ant almost always carries objects that weigh more than itself.

Slide text: What is the most poisonous creature on the planet? The most poisonous creature on our planet is the transparent Australian sea jellyfish. If you extract all the poison from it, then it will be enough to kill sixty people. This jellyfish weighs 6 kilograms. She has 60 tentacles, each of which contains that dangerous substance that can kill many animals, including humans. If a person touches an Australian sea jellyfish, he will die within four minutes.

Slide text: Which animal lives the longest? The animal that can live the longest on earth is the turtle. Mauritanian tortoises live 150 years. It is possible that they will live up to two centuries. The king tortoise living in the United States can live 123 years. Among other animals, there are also many centenarians. An elephant, for example, can live 60 years. There is a legend that some elephants lived one and a half to two centuries. However, this is just a legend. There is no evidence for this. A horse can live half a century. There are also centenarians among the birds. Some claim that parrots, as well as eagles, can live for a century, but this is not documented. There are cases when a condor lived 52 years, a parrot two years longer, an eagle 55 years and a pelican 51 years. Among the fish, too, there are centenarians. The American eel managed to live up to 50 years, the European catfish up to 60 years. Many consider carps among fish to be long-lived, but they do not live longer than 25 years.

Slide text: Which animal has the most teeth? The most toothy animal on Earth has 25,000 teeth. This animal is a garden snail. Despite such a large number of teeth, it is not at all scary and not dangerous. With her small teeth, she grinds the leaves on which she feeds. In fact, these are not teeth, but tiny spikes. Nevertheless, the snail still got into the Guinness Book of Records as the most toothy creature on the planet.

Slide text: Which animal has the longest hair? The animal with the longest hair is the musk ox, also known as the musk ox. The length of his coat reaches 90 centimeters. In some bulls, the hair hangs down almost to the ground. A bull is endowed with such a fur coat for a reason. She helps him survive in the most severe winters, so he is not afraid of any frosts.

Slide text: Which animal has the most limbs? The centipede, which lives in San Benito (Guatemala), has the most limbs. She has over six hundred legs. The centipede as an insect species was first identified in 1926. Then this centipede disappeared. Only recently, at the beginning of the second millennium, this amazing insect was again found by scientists. Now all possible measures are being taken so as not to lose this amazing view of the most multi-legged creature on the planet again.

Slide #10

Slide text: What is the smallest animal? The smallest animal on our planet is the shrew. Its species - the baby shrew weighs 2 grams, its length is 3-4 centimeters. Among the shrews there are also large individuals, so not all shrews are the smallest animals on Earth. The giant polytooth is 18 centimeters long and weighs 100 grams.

Slide #11

Slide text: Which animal can go the longest without water and food? A big misconception is that the camel is the animal that can go the longest without water and food. The hardiest animal is the rocky squirrel. She lives in Southern Mexico. This squirrel can go without water or food for 100 days. The rocky squirrel is very well adapted to the harsh conditions of the mountains, so it is not afraid of long droughts.

Slide #12

Slide text: Which animal has the biggest ears? The African elephant has the largest ears on Earth. Their length can be 1.5 meters. However, the elephant itself is big. Its length is approximately 5-6 meters. Thus, the ears of an African elephant are even smaller than ¼ of the body. But one Mongolian animal - a long-eared jerboa, has ears 5 centimeters long. And this, despite the fact that the length of his body is 9 centimeters. It turns out that on Earth this animal has the largest ears compared to body weight.

Slide #13

Slide text: What is the heaviest animal in the world? The heaviest animal in the world is the blue whale. Its weight can be 200 tons. The length of the whale can reach 33.5 meters. This animal can only move on water. Once upon a time, the whale was an ordinary land animal, but gradually, in the course of evolution, the whales went to live in the water. However, they still did not fully adapt to life in the water. From time to time, whales rise to the surface to breathe air, then again plunge into the water.
