Lytternes Dyr: Isfuglen - Danmarks mest eksotiske fugl!

#85 Amazonas dyreliv (3/9) - Camouflage: Gennemsigtige frøer og insekter der snyder forskere!

Hvordan bliver et dyr næsten usynligt? Midt i Amazonas sidder en lille frø, der kan gøre sig næsten gennemsigtig og gemme sit blod for at forsvinde fra rovdyr. Og den er kun begyndelsen. I denne episode dykker vi ned i Amazonas’ vilde verden af camouflage – hvor dyr ikke bare gemmer sig, men narrer selv de skarpeste rovdyr ved at ligne blade, bark og døde grene. I episoden kan du høre om: • Glasfrøen, der kan blive gennemsigtig • Amazonas’ “falske kamæleoner” • Blad- og pindelignende insekter, der snyder selv forskere • Knælere der ligner bark – og både jager og gemmer sig • Pacman-frøer med kæmpe bid og ekstrem camouflage • Fuglen potoo, der ligner en gren til perfektion Billeder af: Graham Wise from Brisbane, Australia, CC BY 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Geoff Gallice from Gainesville, FL, USA, CC BY 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Pavel Kirillov from St.Petersburg, Russia, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Pavel Kirillov, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Allissondias, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Svenson G, CC BY 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Bernard DUPONT from FRANCE, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Jiri Hodecek, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Bernard DUPONT from FRANCE, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Kilder Videnskabelige artikler * Major, T., Hesten, A.

#84 Amasonas Dyrelliv (2/9) Stærke Jaguarer, Kloge Anakondaer og Den sorte Kaiman - Hvor vigtige er toprovdyr for Amazonas?

Jaguaren har et så stærkt bid, at den som den eneste af de store katte dræber sit bytte ved at bide gennem kraniet. Selv skildpadders skjold og kaimaners pansrede skæl kan jaguaren bide igennem! Men jaguaren er blot ét af Amazonas mange ikoniske toprovdyr. I floderne lurer den sorte kaiman, og i sumpene ligger den grønne anakonda klar i baghold. Som toprovdyr er de med til at forme hele Amazonas’ økosystem. I denne episode tager vi dig med på en rejse fra vandet og op i landskabet, hvor du møder tre af Amazonas’ toprovdyr. Du får også indblik i, hvordan de er med til at holde verdens største regnskov i balance – og hvad der sker, når toprovdyr forsvinder fra et område. Så læn dig godt tilbage, og kom med på rejsen ind i toprovdyrenes verden Billeder af  Museum of Veterinary Anatomy FMVZ USP / Wagner Souza e Silva, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Rum from An Sgurr, Eigg by Jim Barton, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Kilder Patrick S.
