one plant is the bluebells. The bluebell flower is a spring flowering perennial plant that grows best from bulbs and belongs to the family of Lilies. Bluebells are often confused with Hyacinthus, probably because it's believed to have been evolved from wild species of Hyacinthus, Iris, etc. Whether grown alone or in a mass, these flowers can put up quite a dazzling display, no wonder they are a spring favorite. Not only are they a gardener's favored spring bulbous flower, their tattoo is popular among tattoo enthusiasts too.

These flowers grow from bulb and seeds, and in an upright position, until the weight of the flowers bears the plant down. New narrow deep green leaves are usually erect, between 20-40cms long and 7-15mm wide that grow on 10-30cms long stems. The flower spikes begin to develop by March end, are 20-50cms high, depending upon the cultivar. All the flowers generally will grow on only one side of the stem, and are pendulous, tubular with the petals curved outward only at the end, giving it a bell shaped appearance, hence the name. The flowers are arranged in a raceme (a line of flowers growing close to each other), with each raceme bearing between 6 and 20 flowers. Traditionally, the flowers are in hues of blue, purple or violet, but one can find some very pleasing cultivated flowers colors too, in shades of white or pink, and sometimes with cream colored anthers. One amazing characteristic of the blue bell flower is its sweet fragrance, from which its essence is derived.this is a pick of a bluebell. i got this pick and facts on buzzle.com.

one biome animal is the eurasian wolf. the Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus), also known as the European, Common,^[2] or Forest Wolf,^[3] is a subspecies of gray wolf which has the largest range among wolf subspecies and is the most common in Europe and Asia, ranging through Mongolia, China, Russia,Scandinavia, Western Europe and the Himalayan Mountains. Compared to their North American cousins, Eurasian wolves tend to have longer, more highly placed ears, narrower heads, more slender loins and coarser, tawnier colouredfur.^[4] Compared to Indian wolves, Eurasian wolves are larger, and have longer, broader skulls.^[5] In Europe, wolves rarely form large packs like in North America, as their lives are more strongly influenced by human activities.^[6] Because of this, Eurasian wolves tend to be more adaptable than North American wolves in the face of human expansion.^[7]

a animal found in the chaparral forest biome in italy is the hoopoe. the hoopoe is a colourful bird that is found across Afro-Eurasia, notable for its distinctive 'crown' of feathers. It is the only extant species in the familyUpupidae. One insular species, the Giant Hoopoe of Saint Helena, is extinct, and the Madagascar subspecies of the Hoopoe is sometimes elevated to a full species. Like the Latin name upupa, the Englishname is an onomatopoetic form which imitates the cry of the bird.this is a pick of a hoopoe 

biome plant

one plant found in a chaparral forest biome is the cytisus monspessulanus or the french broom is found in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Canada on the American continent. It is native to the Mediterranean region and Azores Islands. It probably got its name because of the way the branches grow. They were actually cut and made into brooms at one time. In many places it is considered a weed. It spreads quickly and grows in dense stands that crowd out native plants. French broom is also used as erosion control on dunes, and along highways in the mid 1900s. Soon they escaped gardens and highways and invaded their environment. French broom is considered to be the most aggressive of the Brooms. A bushy plant, French broom can grow 5 to 8 feet tall, and has many twisted, single, green branches on it. The branches look almost bare because the leaves are very small, only about 1/2 of an inch.

Small pea-like yellow flowers bloom along the stem in twos or threes between April and June. With each small flower are three green leaves which are about the same size as the flower. It grows its seed in hairy green pods, just like peas. French broom actually belongs to the pea family. The seeds and flowers of brooms are slightly toxic and can cause stomach cramps and indigestion. If you take Scotch broom flowers and soak them in water overnight, the flowers would lose all their color and the water becomes a yellow dye.

one animal from the chaparral forest biome is the canis aureus or the golden jackal lives in the Mediterranean chaparral. The foods they consume are young gazelles, rodents, hares, ground birds and their eggs, reptiles, frogs, fish, insects, and fruits. Golden Jackals are at risk from leopards, and the pups are also vulnerable to eagles and snakes. some interesting facts about golden jackals are that The Jackal is a predator and it helps the environment by keeping the rodent, gazelle, bird, and frog population down. The Golden Jackal is abundant in the Mediterranean chaparral. It is currently not on the endangered species list. In the winter it gets colder and the Jackal grows a thick coat of hair in preparation to this season. The Jackal has also adapted to eating insects. Golden Jackals find a mate for life. The two Jackals have pups together for about 8 years. The young Jackals are born in a den which is in the parents territory. Each litter can contain up to nine pups but 2 to 4 is the usual number. The pups are nursed for up to 8 weeks, then they are weaned, and start eating regurgitated food. They eat solid food at three months and are sexually mature at eleven months. Male and female mates live together for their entire lives and raise the young together. Jackals do not live in packs. Jackals survive in the wild for at the most 15 years.
