All birds have an enlargement of the esophagus called a goiter (human will is quite different – pathological enlargement of the thyroid gland associated with its poor functioning). Food accumulates in the goiter of birds, who stays …
A parrot's wings are moved by strong muscles attached to the sternum. It has the form of a strong bone plate, from which along the center line protrudes the so-called. comb. In less-flying birds it is relatively small, with the best pilots – very developed.

Despite the dizzying variety of life forms, what we meet around us, we notice in nature a certain order and organization. Naturalists like Linnaeus classified organisms into groups this way, that the members of each of them had something in common. Similarly, in school classes, students …

Breeding of reptiles and mammals
These animals are extremely interesting research objects. However, we should accept the principle, that we will only hold them captive for so long, as observations require. We can treat their stay with us as a kind of vacation. After a few weeks …

BREEDING FROGS AND TRACES
Collection of eggs (squawk) is an excellent way to study the extremely interesting transformation of a tadpole into an adult. Both frogs, how and toads develop in this way, so we can study both. We shouldn't just mix eggs …

SMALL ANIMAL TERRARIES
Some of the small invertebrates, like worms, ants or snails, they are quite interesting and easy to breed. Their activity – as cold-blooded animals – increases with increasing temperature. You have to be careful, not to make them too much …

REPRODUCTION OF DAYTIME AND NIGHT BUTTERFLIES (HIM)
Breeding butterflies and moths from the larvae, through the pupa stage is extremely interesting, and quite simple at the same time. It's also a great way to get specimens for your collection, and the protection of these species. Earmarking two individuals …

BREEDING
I've been lucky in my life, that I was able to raise a lot of wild animals. When I was living in Corfu as a boy, I've bred all sorts of creatures: from eagle owls to sea horses, from snakes to butterflies. Later, when I was involved in delivering animals to zoos, I have researched countless …

PREPARATION OF COMPLETE SKELETON
1. We thread the circles on two long wires.
2. We glue the upper and lower jaws together and let them dry. We fasten the skull to the end of the wire. We glue the hind legs together.
3. We glue the pelvic bones and the hind legs to the spine. …

MAMMALS
Mammals can, however, be preserved wet, however, it does not give good results. The animals then look like drowned. Besides, they can only be viewed from the outside.
We will learn much more about the animal, if we conserve the skeleton and the skin separately. Both preparations …
