According to Robert Bennett Bean (1932) the skin pigmentation of the Alpine is an 'intermediate white', a colour in-between the lighter skinned Nordic and the darker-skinned Mediterranean. [21] Despite the large numbers of alleged Alpines, the characteristics of the Alpines were not as widely discussed as those of the Nordics and Mediterraneans.
However, such sex differences are primarily limited to the anthropoid primates; most of the strepsirrhine primates (lemurs and lorises) and tarsiers are monomorphic. [2] Sexual dimorphism can manifest itself in many different forms. In male and female primates there are obvious physical difference such as body size or canine size.
Chionea is a genus of wingless limoniid crane flies.It consists of two subgenera, the holarctic Chionea and palaearctic Sphaeconophilus.About 37 species are currently recognized in the northern hemisphere, [1] but there are probably several undescribed species.
The edges of feathers in underparts have edges of yellow or pink. The edges of feathers on upperarts are slightly paler grey than the rest of the feather, which makes the bird look somewhat barred. Juvenile males can be distinguished by their brighter crowns and shorter crests, but otherwise look similar to the adult female.
Darevskia species are small lizards with a head and body length of 50–85 mm (2.0–3.3 in), and with a tail length about two times longer. The body is usually flattened, the head is pointed in shape and in most species flattened in a vertical plane, which allows lizards to hide in narrow crevices between stones and rocks.
The Bruna Alpina or Bruna Italiana is distributed throughout Italy. Braunvieh were imported from central Switzerland from the sixteenth century, and diffused from the Alpine valleys into the flat country of Lombardy and the Veneto – where they rapidly supplanted the mostly red-coated local breeds – and then further south as far as Calabria .

They are known to engage in twilight ascent, which is characterised by increased flight activity and gaining altitude and longer-distance horizontal flights at dawn and dusk, possibly part of social interactions between individuals. [10] Alpine swifts spend most of their lives in the air, living on the insects they catch in their beaks.
