How have such actions affected thes ..."

other placental mammals. The testicles are usually held inside the body unless
the animal is breeding, during T ..."
"Seasonally dry forests are the most widespread forest type remaining in South and Southeast Asia. For many endangered species, such as tigers, elephants, deer and primates, this unique habitat is central to their survival. These forests are also intimately linked to humans in the region, who have lived in and relied on them for centuries.
