How Fast Can A Zebra Run

Fishing Line: 08/11/11

TOP PICKS

AMERICAN RIVER - Striped bass are being caught throughout the river on bait, but are often being seen boiling on the surface, above Gristmill, and are blasting topwater plugs early in the morning and late in the evening. Later on, they are taking soft plastic swimbaits, big streamer flies, jumbo minnows, and crawdads. Salmon fishing continued to be slow, but a few were being caught at the upper-above Ancil Hoffman Park-and lower ends of the river up to Paradise Beach-by boaters trolling spinners and Kwikfish. Some fish were being caught in Nimbus Basin, as well, but the Nimbus Hatchery weir pickets will be installed this week, necessitating a short term drop in flows.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Sacramento - Salmon fishing was actually pretty good a few days last week at the mouths of the American and Feather rivers for anglers trolling Kwikfish and spinners. On other days, anglers were not so lucky, finding that the salmon that had been there the previous day, had moved on. Still, it appears that the run is building bit by bit.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Red Bluff - Salmon fishing continued to improve little by little, although some days the fishing was better than others. Lots of smaller, but bright kings were being caught along with larger adults to 30 pounds. There was a pretty good steelhead bite some days, as well. Both roe and trolled FlatFish, Kwikfish, and Brad's Killer Fish were attracting bites

CAMANCHE LAKE - Catfish are the top bet with fast action after the sun goes down. Two anglers fishing the Causeway area caught 35 fish using shrimp for bait. Summer trout tactics include trolling 35 to 40 feet down in the main lake with Needlefish and Ex-Cel spoons, or anchoring near the dam and dropping Power Bait down to the same depth level

GENERAL

NORTH COAST RIVERS

COOS RIVER; Charleston, Ore. - There are several reports of anglers doing well jigging for salmon between the jaws at the mouth of the river, according to WON Field Reporter and guide Curtis Palmer of River Secrets Guide Service. There have also been a couple reports of boats catching a Chinook or two while trolling from Empire up to the 101 bridge. Palmer had not received any information of salmon being caught at the Mill Casino or Marshfield Channel.

COQUILLE RIVER; Bandon, Ore. - "A few friends of mine have been scratching a few early king salmon from this river," said Palmer. "This is one of my favorite rivers to fish Fall Chinook's, while trolling flashers. This season is going to be one to remember, due to the numbers of salmon returning and the expected large numbers of older fish coming back to their home waters.

Zebra - The Fastest Animals in the World

The mountain Zebra uses to live in dry areas of southern Africa, while the Grevy's Zebra live in the dry areas of northeast Africa. These wonderful animals feature strong bodies and legs, small hooves, big ears and stiff manes that are striped. Zebras have a pattern of white and black stripes. There are small differences that distinguish how different kinds of zebra look like. Some exemplars  feature white legs, some of them feature brownish 'shadow stripes' in between the black and white stripes. Many of them  have narrow stripes close together, or have leg stripes all the way down to the hooves. The Grevy's zebras are the largest ones, featuring large and rounded ears. The zebras  can even include a different pattern on one side of their body to the other side. It is not really clear why the zebras have these patterns. An interesting theory relates that when a herd runs together a predator gets easily confused by the swirling black and white stripes. Another  theory  says that the air over the black stripes is warmer than the air over the white stripes, and because of that  the warm and the cool air swirl and fan the animal. Zebras are very fast runners, and stay alert all the time in case of danger. They have excellent vision, very well developed  smell and hearing, to help alert them to attackers. Most kinds of zebra form their own families that include a stallion, 2-6 mares, and their foals. Those large herds of zebra are often consisting of numerous families. Life is  safer in a big herd  and in case one member of the herd has troubles, others will be able to help. They have long jaws that help them to hold big mouthfuls of food. They have the eyes located high on the head and at the side and thanks to it while they are grazing they  look out for danger at the same time. The zebras eat only plants and have mobile lips which grip a tuft of grass while their front teeth cut it off. The females born the foal about 12 months after mating with a male zebra. For few days, the mother keeps the distance between the newborn and the other members of the herd, so that they could learn to recognize each other's patterns. Foals have very long legs, almost as an adult so that one hour later after the birth the foal is capable to run fast enough to keep up with the herd. Foals stay close to their mothers for their safety.
