African elephant

Males usually stay with a female and her herd for about a month before moving on in search of another mate. Less than a third of the population of female elephants will be in estrus at any given time and the gestation period of an elephant is long, so it makes more evolutionary sense for a male to search for as many females as possible rather than stay with one group BOOK The living elephants : evolutionary ecology, behavior, and conservation / Raman Sukumar Sukumar, R 2003 Central General (Level 3 or 4) QL737.P98 S956 2003

Chelonoidis cubensis, also known as the Cuban Giant Tortoise is an extinct species of land tortoise that lived in Cuba from the Late Pleistocene to the Early Holocene.^[6] It had a carapace length of between 40cm and 90cm. It is thought that the species went extinct through human exploitation.

Chelonoidis monensis, also known as the Mona tortoise, is an extinct species of land tortoise that lived on the island of Mona from the Late Pleistocene to around 1000 BCE.^[7]^[8] Evidence for the latter date includes cave drawings. All fossil remains have been found either in or near Liro Cave on the east side of Mona.^[9] It had a carapace length of around 50cm.

invasive portugal[edit]

There are two decrees referenced in this article to justify inclusion of species. The first [1] has a number of lists

list 1 - introduced species in mainland Portugal considered Invasive
list 2 - Non-indigenous species not considered invasive
list 3 - Non-indigenous species with known ecological risk (potentially invasive)

The second is [2], and is desgined to prevent species from becoming invasive. It has a list of species that are considered invasive in mainland Portugal. But the definition here is "alien species whose introduction into nature or propagation in a given territory threatens or has an adverse impact on biological diversity and ecosystem services associated with it, or has other adverse impacts;" also "The holding, cultivation, breeding, trade, introduction into nature and repopulation of specimens of species included in the National List of Invasive Species referred to in the following article is prohibited." The list in particular consists of "a) Exotic species for which there is scientific and technical information that allows classifying them as invasive in mainland Portugal; b) Exotic species in relation to which there is scientific and technical information that allows classifying them as invasive in the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira, considering the provisions of paragraph 3 of article 43; c) Exotic species considered ecological risk or classified as invasive in national norms or in international instruments ratified by Portugal; d) Invasive alien species that raise concern in the Union, identified in a list adopted under Regulation" It is clear that the list is actually includes potentially invasive species that have yet to become established, and thus cannot be used alone to substantiate inclusion in this list.
