Wood pigeons are the largest and most commonly spotted pigeon variety found in the UK. Here are a few of their key characteristics.

Pigeons are of various colors, from black to white, brown, blue, and gray. However, due to selective breeding, we can get unique pigeon colors with different wing patterns. In most cases, pigeons produce melanin, which determines their coloring.

Pigeons are black, as well as other colors with shades of red, blue, and even silver. Through selective breeding, we can also get different shades of black along with other unique colors. Fancy pigeons are used for exhibitions and for domestication.

Pigeons are not blind and, in fact, have a spectacular vision. Like humans, they can see color, even ultraviolet light, which we cannot see. This is why they are often used in rescue missions for people and ships lost at sea.

Crocodiles are semi-aquatic beings who alternate between land and sea. Being in the water helps them cool down after basking in the sun since crocodiles are cold-blooded animals. Besides, they mostly hunt for their prey (which includes insects, fishes, frogs, etc.) in the water, particularly at night.

Alligators and crocodiles eat fish along with other animals, such as birds, snails, turtles, bugs, frogs, crustaceans, and reptiles. Being carnivores and opportunistic feeders, crocodiles and alligators are indiscriminate when it comes to their prey and can hunt humans and animals alike for food.

Small crocodiles exist and occupy tropical areas and are often confused with alligators. This is because alligators are smaller than most crocodiles. However, it is easy to differentiate between the two by looking at their snout: crocodiles have pointed snouts, whereas alligators have rounded snouts.

Crocodiles are cold-blooded, meaning they cannot generate the heat their body needs for survival. Instead, they rely on their external environment to derive the required heat. As such, their body’s temperature fluctuates depending on their environment’s temperature. Conversely, they can cool down their bodies by spending more time in water.

No, crocodiles do not die of old age, and if all factors remain constant, they may live up to 100 years. However, most crocodiles die before they reach that age due to external factors such as loss of habitat, attacks by hunters who are seeking them out for their hide, and attacks by other crocodile species. Besides, natural disasters are one of the leading causes of a crocodile’s death.
