A. Since Afghanistan is considered a desert, it is dry. (I will not give away just yet what flora and fauna means.)

1) Almond, pear, fig trees scatter the desert land. Strawberry plants and apple trees are found too.

2) There are many different kinds of gerbils, squirrels (including flying squirrels!), hamsters, mice, rats, bats...oh my!

3) Some parts are like this Central Asian country, but it is not relentlessly hot and dry like AFG.

A. Flora means flowers and fauna means animals. Germany has a cold climate, so there aren't much trees there.
1.There are a lot of maple and oak (different/specific kinds)trees. Lime trees and cherry trees can also be found in Germany.
2.Weasels, lynxes, polecats, and beavers can be found in Germany. Wolves and bears have become extinct in Germany because of excessive hunting.
3.What is "it" in the 3rd part of subtask A?

A. There are 4,992 species of higher plants recorded in Greece, while there are few animals in Greece, but bear, wildcat, jackal, fox, and chamois still live populated areas.

1.There are many flowers in Greece, but the only one I know of are the Orchids and Daffodils. The trees I heard of before that they have are olive and pine trees.

2.There are Mollusks, Starfish, Urchins & Jellyfish, Fish, Dolphins, Sharks & Whales
(sea); there are the basics: Reptiles & Amphibians, Mammals, Insects, Scorpions & Spiders
(land); birds and butterflies(air)

3.The plants compare pretty perfectly, but the animals are way off. The ones I mentioned earlier were probably Greece's endangered species.

A.Flora means like plants from a particular place or reigion.Fauna means the animals from a given place or region.
There are a lot of plants so I'll just say one.One is Abronia Begelovii.

1)One flower in my country's place is the Lycophyle Baragwanithia Longifolia.I don't know much about so I'll skip that part.

2)There are many animals but I can only name two.Chihuaua(so cute!!) and the hummingbird.

3)Some of the land is like the land that has the animals and the climate in the land with the animals are really fair weather so it is good for the animals.

There is 2 types of tropical forest containing flora. The tropical forests are called, monsoon forest and rainforest.The indigenous fauna of Thailand's northern half is mostly of Indochinese origin while that of the South is generally Sundaic (typical of Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo and Java). The Thailand's flower is the Ratchaphruek or the Golden Shower Flower and the tree is nareepol. There are many animals in Thailand but only some stand out. Such as the Asian Elephant, Neill's Long-tailed Giant Rat,and the Wild Water Buffalo. Some areas that border Thailand have the animals and plants but they aren't becoming endangered in the other countries.

Swedes is a famous flower in Sweden. It is named after a scientist in Sweden. Famous food in Sweden are Reindeer Steak and Salmon. They are the most common animal in Sweden. I think that many animals like animals that like cold weather live in Sweden. A common pet in Sweden is a husky since it is used to pull sleds in the winter in Sweden.


only Sweden has the most reindeers in Europe. I think........
If you but meat products in Sweden not fish or reindeer it will be very expensive so don't buy to much!
















Everyone good job
Great job Bryan!:(hee

A. At least four floral regions can be identified in Italy. In the lower regions and vally bottoms of Italy, there are oaks and other broad-leaved trees, and chesnut and beech trees. The Summit area is dominated by meadows, green pastures, and shrubs, such as lichens. An Appenine area is similar to the Alpine region, but has a smaller amount of conifers. A Po region is dominated by broad-leaved trees, such as willowa, poplars, alders, and oaks. A Mediterranean region is mostly made of evergreen trees and maritime pine.On the island of Gigli in Tuscany, there are wild goats called mufloni. This kind of goat is very endangered. There are also rare frogs called Discoglossus Sardo. Some birds found on the island are the Pellegrino hawk, the Imperial crow, the Royal seagull, the Corsican seagull and cormorants. In Abruzzo, another region of Italy, there are wolves, the Marsican brown bear, chamois , red deer, roe deer, and 130 different kinds of birds including the rare Peregrine falcon, Golden eagle, goshawk, eagle-owl and a dotterel that nests only in this mountains in Italy. There is also the Parnassus Apollo, an endangered buterfly with almost transparent wings. There are a lot more animals in Italy and I can't name them all.
1.Italy's flowers are the poppy and the white lily.(doesn't specifically say what type of poppy)The white lily, unlike other lillies, have leaves throughout winter and they die in the summer. White lillies form bulbs at ground level. their flowers are white and the bases are yellow.
2.There are many rare and endangered animals,birds, and insects in italy. Such as wild goats called mufloni,Discoglossus Sardo(a rare type of frog),perigrine falcons,(one of the fastest birds) and dotterels, birds that only nest in Italy.
3.Those unique creatures are only part of the flora and fauna of Italy.

1. The Philippines has a national flower and tree. The flower is the Arabian Jasmine and the tree is the Angsana.
2. The national animal is the carabao, the bird is the Philippine eagle, and the fish is the milkfish. There is no national insect.

3. KEY- *=U.S.; ^=Philippines:

*golden poppy vs. ^Arabian Jasmine. *bald eagle vs. ^Philippine eagle.

A. Flora is the charactaristic plant growth in a certain region. Fuana is the same for animals. The two are collectively known as biota.

1) Typical mountain flowers are Eidelweiss, Enzian, and Alpenrose. Typical trees are oak, birch and fruit trees.

2) All sorts of grazing animals can be found in Switzerland, including cows and goats. Lynx are also found in the Alps. Common birds are sparrows, swans, thrushes, starlings, chickadees, blackbirds, crows, swallows and seagulls. In summer mosquitos are quite common.

3) Assuming IT means Fremont's flora and fuana the two are quite different, notably trees and flowers.

A. Flora and Fauna in Iceland
===================================
Flora means the plants of a particular region which are considered as a whole.

Fauna means the animals of a particular region.
===================================

You may think Iceland is too cold for wildlife. Actually The only chilly thing is it's name.

1. In Iceland the plants that grow natuarly are: roses, daisies, grasses, freshwater plants, birhes, and willows.
Iceland's vegetation best falls in the catergory of the tundra region.

2. Some animals that share homes in Iceland are: rats, mice, foxes, reindeer, puffins, skuas, kittiwakes, and bears.

3. The wildlife in Iceland has eventually adapted to some exterme hot and cold temperatures compared to the wildlife in The United States.

A. The southern and central part of Chile has a good climate so many plants and animals live there. The northern part of Chile is very dry so only plants like the cactus live there.

1) Chile's national flower is the Chilean bellflower. The long waxy flowers droop down from the flexible vines. Araucaria araucana is the national tree of Chile. The leaves are thick, tough, and scale-like. It has male and female bear cones on it.

2) There are many small birds in Chile such as sparrows, hummingbirds, and Chilean parrots.

3) These birds are only a little bit of the flora and fauna of Chile.

A.Poland's floras are mainly Coneferous and pine trees make up about 70% of the country's forests. Lynx, wildcat, European Bison, moose, wild horse, are some of the remaining large mammals, but there are still plenty of fish, birds, and insects.

1)Poland is mainly home to forests and meadows. There are over 2000 species of vascular plants, and about 60% of the country are trees. Bartek, an ancient Oak tree in Poland, can live up to about an estimated 1200 years, and is said that King Casmir three had a picture of him holding court here. It is also said that Jan three Sobieski rested under this tree on his way back from the Battle of Vienna, and hid a Turkish Sabre, an arquebus(hook gun), and a bottle of wine inside it.

2)Storks are birds that have long necks, legs, and beeks that belong to the Ciconiidae family.
Over 350,000 species of beetles have been discovered, but scientists think there are 1,000 more species yet to be discovered. Some of the most famous beetles are Laybirds. When threatened or annoyed, they spray a toxic substance. Carrion Beetles feed on dead animals, but Burying beetles lay their eggs on the dead animal's flesh.

3)I DO NOT GET THIS PROBLEM.SORRY.

A. Floras are plants and faunas are animals.
1. Some common trees in Spain are oak, bleech, birch, and chestnut. There is a wide variety of vegetations here. Much more than most of the other European countries.
2. Bulls are famous and popular animals in Spain becasue of the running of the bulls. Some endangered animals are the Barbary Sheeps, Broom Hare, Eurasion Otter. Some of the larger mamals are brown bear, red deers, and wild boar. Animals are now limiting because of the human population.
3. There isn't much of a difference in animals and plants.

A. There are a lot different species of plants and animals in Canada because the land is very large.
1. Maples,Firs,Cedar,Cypress,Pine...
etc are commonly seen in Canada. Canada also has lots of apples,pears,peaches,plums,apricots,nectarines,and sweet cherry and wine grapes.
2.Bears,beaver and moose are found all across the country and are considered the symbol of Canada. Lynx,cougers,wolves,spuirrals,chipm-unk,racoons,skunks and birds are often in and around cities.
3.Since Canada is at the north of USA,the plants and animals are simular to what we have in USA.

A.Flora means flowers and fauna means animals. Korea has very good and calm weather.

1)Kimjongilia and Kimilsungia are both Korea's state flowers.

2)In Korea, dogs, cats, horses, and much much more. ( Korean zoo animals are all over weighted so they are on a diet.)

3)The animals that they have in Korea are much like the animal that we have in Korea.

A. Great Britan's climate is pretty cold but it still has very diverse flora and there is also fauna like deer.
1. Great Britain's flower is a rose. Roses are different colors but the traditional color is red. There are spines on the stem which makes them hard to pick.
2. Wolves, Red-necked parakeets, Barbastelle bats, snakes and I think there are also hadgehogs.
3. It matches because the climate is cold and the fauna can manage the weather along with the flora.
