__A NTS__ It is estimated that there are about 20,000 different species of ants. For this reason ants have been called Earth's most successful species. Ants build many different types of homes. Many ants build simple little mounds out of dirt or sand. Other ants use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make a stronger mound that offers protection from rain. Western Harvester ants make a small mound on top, but then tunnel up to **15 feet** straight down to hibernate during winter. Some ants live in wood like termites. Army ants don't make a home at all but travel in large groups searching for food. The queen grows to adulthood, mates, and then spends the rest of her life laying eggs. A colony may have only one queen, or there may be many queens depending on the species. Ants go through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Some colonies consist of millions of ants. There are three types of ants in each species, the queen, the sterile female workers, and males. The male ants only serve one purpose, to mate with future queen ants and do not live very long.

Michael, you have made a great start. Your images used a fantastic as they indeed add to the research information. Please ensure that your words are not coloured with the black background as this is extremely difficult to read. Also ensure that the words are YOURS! I want a Michael research not a Internet research!! Keep up the good research. Here are some ants showing team work.

= = = = =baboons.= The two most common baboons occur in East Africa, the olive baboon and the yellow baboon. The larger and darker olive baboon comes from Uganda, west and centrle Kenya and northern Tanzania. Baboons tend to sleep around water and safe places or in either tall trees or on cliff faces.Baboons usually leave their sleeping places around 7 or 8 a.m. After coming down from the cliffs or trees, adults sit in small groups grooming each other while the juveniles play.Baboons sleep, travel, feed and socialize together in groups of about 50 individuals,Grass makes up a large part of their diet, along with berries, seeds, pods, blossoms, leaves, roots, bark and sap from a variety of plants. Baboons also eat insects and small quantities of meat, such as fish, shellfish, hares, birds, vervet monkeys and young, small antelopes.For the first month, an infant baboon stays in very close contact with its mother.The mother carries the infant next to her stomach as she travels, holding it with one hand. By the time the young baboon is 5 to 6 weeks old it can ride on her back,The baboon's major predators are humans. Knowing that humans can easily kill or injure them when they are in trees, baboons usually escape through undergrowth.

You can get some silly pics of cats. cats get scared very easily.cats hunt birds, bunnys, mice and rats, people feed cat food.

One of the main reasons for cats avoiding the litter box is that it stinks from earlier dutys. Cats' sense of smell is 14 times as sensitive as humans. Cats have 30 vertebrae, which is 5 more than humans. Cats have 230 bones, 24 more than humans. Cats do not have a collarbone, which allows them to fit through any opening the size of their head.Cats have the largest eyes of any mammal.A cat can run about 20 kilometres per hour when it grows up. Tylenol and chocolate are both poisonous to cats.In ancient Egypt, killing a cat was a crime punishable by death. In ancient Egypt, mummies were made of cats, and embalmed mice were placed with them in their tombs. In one ancient city, over 300,000 cat mummies were found.  In the Middle Ages, during the Festival of Saint John, cats were burned alive in town squares. Today there are about 100 distinct breeds of the domestic cat. Kittens born to non-hunting mothers may never learn to hunt.
