¿Sabías que hay más insectos que cualquier otro grupo de animales? La diversidad de insectos es asombrosa. ¿Qué tienen en común las hormigas con las abejas? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre una mariposa y una polilla? ¿Cómo están relacionados los gorgojos y las mariquitas? Algunos insectos tienen un par de alas, otros tienen dos pares y hay algunos que no tienen alas. Algunos insectos, aunque no todos, tienen un caparazón duro y externo (exoesqueleto).
Cuando alguien escucha la palabra “panda” generalmente piensa sobre los “osos panda” grandes de color blanco y negro. Sí, los pandas gigantes son un tipo de oso. ¿Y sabías que los pandas rojos son una familia animal propia? Aunque ambos animales puede que no pertenezcan a la misma familia, sí que comparten algunas características similares, tales como su “muñeca pulgar” y su dependencia al bambú.
Las focas y los leones marinos tienen un aspecto similar y algunas veces es complicado saber cuál es cuál. Ambos mamíferos marinos nadan con aletas y pueden encontrarse en océanos alrededor del mundo. Uno tiene orejas visibles, mientras que las orejas del otro no son externas. Uno atraviesa el agua utilizando sus aletas traseras, mientras que el otro usa sus aletas frontales para nadar. Ya sobre tierra, uno rebota hacia sus alrededores, mientras que el otro puede “caminar” sobre sus aletas.
¿Alguna vez te has preguntado qué hay dentro de esa “cosa” en una planta? ¿Y qué hay de lo que vive dentro de ese agujero del árbol o qué vive dentro de esa “pila de hojas o ramas? Explora y aprende por qué algunos de estos objetos de la naturaleza están en el libro más reciente de la Fotógrafa de Naturaleza y Naturalista, Mary Holland.
¿Qué tienen en común y en qué se diferencian los cangrejos y las langostas? Aunque ambos animales viven en el océano, uno prefiere nadar y el otro caminar. Uno puede ser encontrado en pozas costeras y el otro en alta mar. Ambos tienen esqueletos en la parte externa de sus cuerpos. ¡Hay mucho más sobre estos animales además de ser un buen alimento para nosotros!
