Bulweria+Fallax


 * Endangered Species:** Bulweria Fallax (Jouanin's Petrel)
 * Genus: ** Bulweria
 * Species: ** B. Fallax
 * Class: ** AVES
 * Order: ** Procellariiformes
 * Family: ** Procellariidae


 * Reasons for being endangered: ** The Fallax is a (n) uncommon bird up to date. Many researchers know very little about these birds. The Petrel is listed as Near Threatened because it is suspected that there is only a small range of birds known to scientist. If there is a decline then scientist will determined that the bird is endangered.

**Habitat:** The Fallax is found North West of the Indian Ocean


 * Location:** The Species can be found in the Arabian Sea, Atlantic and Indian Ocean and Gulfs of Aden and Omen. Fallax nest on Sea cliffs away from danger.

**Currents: (South Equatorial Current)** Westward current that is as wide from the surface to the depth of around 100m. The Current can be divided in three different parts: Southern south equatorial current, Central South equatorial current, and Northern south Equatorial current. **Tides:** The tides in the Atlantic ocean very in different locations. Ex. Sea Bright is at a low 1:07 to a high 1:15
 * Latitudes: 25 to 15 degrees North 55 to 75 degrees East**


 * Geologic Processes: ** The Atlantic Ocean is known for its tectonic

**Pressure: H 1025**
 * Temperature: 28.5 degrees Celsius **
 * Salinity: 36-35 PPT **

**Migration Patterns (If any): ** The Fallax found mostly in the Arabian sea, travels around Yemen and Oman.

**Population estimates of species:** The population estimate of the Bulweria Fallax is 2,500- 9,999 and increasing.

**Survival Trends of species:** Since so little is known about the Fallax, scientist predict that the bird is **Increasing** in number everyday. Hopefully this animal will be taken off the endangered list.

Thick feathers, pointed beak, black and grey with dark eyes. **Reproduction:** Rumor is the Bulweria lay there eggs off islands of Oman and Yemen, They lay eggs and both parents take care of there young taking turns going out to feed for themselves and get food for the babies.
 * Appearance of Species: **

Overal spiral ribs. Keel or breastbone Light pelvis strong pelvis Flexible neck Reduced finger bone fused finger bone Backbone Hollow bones Very like skeleton
 * Animal anatomy and physiology:**

**Food Chain/ web:** Worms from land and plankton. **Economic Importance of species:** Helps maintains balance in ecosystem.

**Threats and reason for endangerment:** Garbage that birds can eat can easily kill any type of bird. The reason for this is plastic thrown into the ocean cannot digest in a bird’s stomach therefore in a sense starving the bird.

**Conservation efforts:** Currently the conservation measure of this bird is unknown. My prediction is that scientist will find a good estimate of how many Bulweria Fallax there are. During that time scientist and others are trying to prevent oil spills that pose a serious potential threat to all living.

**Solutions:** My solution would be to find out if this bird should even be endangered or not. Afterwards if the animal is endangered then I would put it on the endangered species list instead of jumping to conclusion when the bird might be prospering. Then I would try to help prevent oil spills not just in the regions where the Bulweria Fallax live but everywhere else.

**THREE QUESTIONS** **1 Where does the Bulweria Fallax live** **2 What is the estimate population of the Fallax?** **3 What do the Bulweria Fallax eat?**
