How do bison`s camouflage them self`s from pray?

Their size and the size of the heard is their protection. Other than man they have no real natural predators. Although larger predators will try to pick off a stray calf they are not willing to take on a mother bison protecting her calf.

I have never heard of any paranormal significance in a flock of wild turkeys.  I do see several large flocks of them every day on the way to and from work.  Usually there are prehaps three dozen but I have seen over 100 of them at a time.  They usually are browsing for food in fields a few hundred yards from the highway but do come right up on the shoulder at times.  They have little fear if you stop the car and a friend once chased them and caught one by hand.  They are not nearly as wiley as hunters would have you believe.  During their mating season they act differently and the toms are all puffed up trying to attract a mate. Or is it mates?  They can fly but I have seldom seen it.  One flew up in front of my car a few years ago and smashed into the windshild (it did not break) covering the whole field of view (they are BIG) until it fell off.  They are a real hazard in my area rapidly replacing deer as the most animal/vehicle accidents.  Currently there are 10,000 deer hits a year here, I don't know the turkey hits but they can be nearly as damaging to an auto.

They are trained to yip like that from the time they are puppies. Don't let it get to you. That's what they want. You are a Great American Patriot! Abrams kick A*S!!\n\nPS - Your Eagle is almost identical to a tattoo on my arm. I've been looking to touch it up a bit - that background's great! Could you e-mail a pic of it to me? That is what I've been looking for! God Bless the USA, Brother!!!

A few of many.\n\n1) Nocturnal habits. By minmising activity during the hottest parts of the day less water is lost to cooling, in addition to avoiding the high temperatures.\n\n\n2) Burrowing. Almost everysmall desert animals burrows> But many large animals also burrow in the desert. Things like warthogs, spotted dogs, wombats and hyaenas all burrow. Burrowing is a way of avoiding the sun. In addition the air temperature below the ground is always fairly constant, menaing it is cooler by day and warmer at night. The burrow also traps any moisture the animal breathes out or loses to sweating, slowing further loss.\n\n3) Seasonal activity. Most deserts have distinct wet and dry seasons. Many desert animals like shrimp or frogs will will hibernate in some form through the dry part of the year and only reemerge when it rains.\n\n4) Migration. Many desert animals are migratory or nomadic. This allows them to follow the available water and food. Animals like kangaroos, wildebeest, camels and bison are all nomadic or migratory in desert environments.\n\n5) Evolutionary adpation. This is a grab bag that covers all sorts of things. For exmaple many desert animls have highly efficient kidneys so they don't lose much water in urine. Camels have specially shaped blood cells that won't clog up their veins when their blod thickens as they dehydrate. Sidewinder snakes have evolved a method of moving over hot shadeless ground that minimises the amount of that they absorb. And so on.

Its sort of camoflage:\n\nImagine there's a lion hunting near a herd of zebras.  As soon as the zebras see the lion, they're going to run around and panic.  All the stipes are extremely confusing, even for us, and the lion would find it very hard to 'lock on to' a single zebra.  It's sort of like some of those optical illusions you find on the Internet.\n\nBasically, it's extremely confusing for any predators.

1. You see toads because the humidity are confortable for them, that need it. So, they just live their places or wake up from hibernation and began their hunt to feed. They move from one plae to other place. Or jut do an walk.\n\n2. Yes t can rain toads and it happened before (as you can easily find in misterious world from Arthur C. Clark)... but isn't a condensation or somekind of miracle. Probably a Tornado got them from somewhere and bring it to that place.  (it's just a theory about the reason).

Is called The Chupacabras which means the goats sucker.  It is a legendary modern character still very alive. Many goats cows and chicken ha been found bloodless in Puerto Rico and other countries and many people; adults and young, have claimed seeing a strange creature with extraterrestrial and anthropomorphic features, more like prehistoric monsters, being around the places where animals had been found dead. Serious researchers and many police departments has checked out the stories . Terrified people and whole towns had been objects of the Chupacabra terror. It is worse than Bin Laden and Sadam toghether. I believe it is a flying almost extinct pre historic specie that hides in caves and dark places underground and comes out peridically as climatological changes take place. It is not exclusive of Puerto Rico. some people claim it is an allien. Others a demon and others a creation of imaginative people, but how can all those animals including very beloved pet dogs are found dead with very specific orifices and no blood in the open fields and sometimes as a massacre to the awe of owners and mentaly stable people and scintific profesionals in charge of agricultural programs and universities.

The fact that you posted your question in "Mythology and Folklore" shows that you realize that God is a Myth.  He looks like whatever you imagine him to be.  The primitives who wrote the Bible described him as they IMAGINED him to be.  As did the Aztecs, Mayans, Ancient Egyptians and the tribes of New Guinea.  God or Gods look like the followers imagine or wish him to be.  HE can even be a woman if that is what you wish.

Well, there are reports of animals leaving the area before some kind of disaster strikes, and of dogs who can detect when there owners are sick.\n\nThrough the centuries, shamans have sought the guidance of animal spirits, to become more in tuned with the world, to heal the sick, and to make wise decisions for the tribe or clan.\n\nDo I believe any of it? Well, lets just say, that if I ever see a bunch of animals vacating an area, I'm going to vamoose myself.

The other answerers were right, bottlenose dolphins are also able to recognize themselves in mirrors.  The study was published in 2001 in PNAS.  As in the classic experiments on chimpanzees done by Gallup, here also animals were marked with a temporary mark on their body.  Their behavior was consistent with that displayed by chimps and other great apes (or yourself when you discover a weird spot of color on your forehead... that is, except for the swearing you may display).  It is an interesting example of evolutionary convergence with great apes and humans.

Because we are hunters by nature and not pray.  If we were pray we would have eyes that could see more around and towards the back of us.  but they are situated to look forward to pinpoint pray that we may be hunting.

Cows were first domesitcated about 5,000 years ago.  I think if they were wild and allowed to run free, maybe they would behave alot like Bison or Wildebeasts.  They would probably stay in herds that graze in open grasslands, with sub-groups of a Bull and females.

EVERY  socieity which has had contact with eagles has deveioed a mythology and /or mysticism about them. In the ancient Aztec tradition, the chief god told the people to settle at a place where they find an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake. This place is now Mexico City.\n\nThe eagle was sacred to Zeus, who often changed into the form of an eagle to help himself control thunder and lightning. The Sumerians woushiped an eagle god, and the Hittities used a double headed eagle as a symbleolic emblem so athey would never be surprised. \n\nThe eagle has also been associated woth Jupiter, and it was a stromg emblem for the Roman Empire. In Egyptian hieroglyphics, the eagle is a symbol for the vowl "A"; and also a symbol for the soul, the spirit, and the warmth of life. \n\nIn early Christian mysticism, the eagle was a symbol of resurrection.\n\nThe Thunderbird, to the Native Americans, is most often depicted in the for of an eagle. This was the great spirit who controlled lightning and rain,punishment and reward. To th Pueblo Indians the eagle was a bird of the sky with the ability to spiral upward unitil it passed through a hole in the sky to the home of the sun. It was associated with all the energies of the sun - physisical and spiritual. The Pueblo Indians honored six directions - North, South, East West, Zenith (above), and nadir (below). The eagle was the symbol of the zenith because of its ability to soar to great heights. From these heights it could survey all four directions. They became symbols of greater sight and perception.\n\nTo the Hopis, the golden and the bald eagles were the greatest of all the birds of the sky, but these are the only two eagles that live upon our continent. Some groups of Hopis also included the red - tailed hawk as an eagle, referring to it as the red Eagle.\n\nI hope this was of some help to you

G'day Alli Oop94,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nCows can see in things in front of them depending on where they are.\n\nCows are fisheyed with very different eyesight to humans.  There eyesight is poor and they need to lower their heads to see things on the ground. They will baulk at a shadow then lower their head to look at it further. Designers of cattle handling facilities are taking cows poor eyesight into consideration in design.\n\nThey are also colourblind so the legend that bulls get enraged by the colour red is a myth.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

Hunting and they fact that alot of their thick forest areas have been downsized.   That is why they are an endagered speicies.    Their is a hefty fine for anyone who even finds a eagle feather on the ground and keeps it.  These feathers are collected and eventially they go to some Native American Tribes to use for their spiritual worships.  (It is illegal to even posses a feather, because their is not proof of how you got it.  Someone could have killed the bird.)  \n\nThey can also be stalked by mountain lions.
