Boxers are the bomb digity they are very very intelligent dogs. The boxer is developed in Germany in the 19th century.Boxers were originally used for dog fighting and to run down and hold large game such as wild boar and bison until the hunter could arrive.The dog is known for standing on its hind legs and fighting with its front paws like a boxer(human boxer.) Imported to America after World War I, they began to grow in popularity in the late 1930s.
Is this the right breed of Boxer for you? Well you can tell by their desire for human affection to have love especially from children. . They are patient and spirited with children, but also protective, making them a popular choice for families. The Boxer requires little grooming, but needs daily exercise. The Boxer is very sensitive as I have learned from previous experiences they can not live in a climate that is to hot or to cold because they have very little fur.
The ideal Boxer is a medium-sized, square-built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. His well-developed muscles appear smooth under taut skin. Developed to serve as guard, working, and companion dog, he combines strength and agility with elegance and style. His expression is alert and his temperament steadfast and tractable.Sturdy, with balanced musculature. Males larger boned than females.

Dolphins
Dolphins are also very amazing animals. Did you know that if you lay down in water and put the ball of your foot to their nose they will push you around. The dolphin is part of the toothed whales such as the orcas and pilot whales. The dolphin is a mammal and breathes through a blow hole in the top of their head. They can vary in colors but almost all the time they are gray with a darker.The dolphins diet varies including fish, squid and crustaceans.
The amazonian river dolphin is the smallest dolphin at five feet in length.It weighs about 100 lbs. The largest dolphin species is the orca. Male orcas grow to about 18 feet in length and weigh about 19,000 pounds! Most dolphins have an high average life span.The average life span of a dolphin is about 100 years. But some dolphins have lived over that (that is amazing.)
Most species live in tropical and temperate oceans throughout the world. Five species live in rivers. Dophins are known for their agility and playful behavior.That behavior makes them a favorite for wildlife watchers.The birth rate is usually one calf; twins are rare.As soon as the calf is born, the mother must quickly take it to the surface so it can take its first breath. The calf will nurse from 11 months to 2 years, and after it is done nursing it will still stay with its mother until it is between 3 and 8 years old.

Monkeys!!
They're are at least 145 living species suborder Anthropoideas. Over 90% of them are monkeys! All primates have the same kind of teeth for eating wide varieties of foods.Beginning at the front, each quadrant of the mouth has 2 incisors, 1 canine, and varying numbers of premolars and molars. All of their teeth are used for different things such as cutting stuff or crushing food.
Many of the larger New World monkeys have prehensile, or grasping, tails that are capable of being used as strong "third hands" for holding onto branches and supporting their bodies. None of the older monkeys have this capability.Many old world monkeys have ischial callosities which is like a pad that is on their butt because they may sit or sleep for long periods of time. The new world monkeys do not have this capability. So as you can see some monkeys have certain things that others don't.
In addition to these differences, New World monkeys are almost exclusively arboreal and most of them are smaller than Old World monkey species. Some Old World monkeys and apes are semi-terrestrial. If you see just some monkeys that are walking around casually in grassland or savanna you can expect that they are old world monkeys. The old world monkeys are generally larger, more intelligent, and have more highly developed eyes than the others.These two different groups of species can distinguished from each other most easily based on the form of their noses and by the number of specific types of teeth.

Tigers! (mammal)
Tigers are very amazing creatures. In my story I am going to talk about their life and range in where they live. The range of a tigers territory depends on what food is available.Usually tigers territories are big, but some overlap.The ones that usually overlap is the males usually overlap several females.
Some of the main habitats of the tiger is that they like to live alone except for a mother and her cubs. They also like living alone because they can sneak up on prey much easier than a herd of tigers.Tigers usually live in steaming hot or freezing cold forests. Tigers are an endangered species; only about 5,000 to 7,400 are left in the wild. Three tiger subspecies, the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers have become extinct in the past 70 years.
The tigers diet is over much of the tiger's broad range, wild pig, wild cattle and several species of deer are its major prey. All prey are forest or grassland animals that range in size from 65 to 2,000 pounds.Typically, wild tigers fill themselves on fresh kills, and can eat as much as 40 pounds of meat at one time. The tiger will not eat again for several days.Female tigers reach maturity when they are about 3 years old, males a year or so later.
