Postcode : 202506190931 Product : Powisi Location : All districts Subsector : Eco discovery Category : Fauna Note : The black curassow (Crax alector), also known as the smooth-billed curassow and the crested curassow. It is found in humid forests in northern South America in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas including Suriname, and far northern Brazil, and is introduced to Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Lesser Antilles. The black curassow is a black bird with a white belly that is common in our interior. It can only fly short distances and is therefore usually found on the ground. It lives in the undergrowth in lowland forests and plantations and in riverside thickets. It mostly eats fruit, but also consumes buds, shoots, leaves, flowers, fungi and invertebrates. He steals everything that glitters and is therefore also used to swallow gold. The curled feathers are used to make jewelry. It nests a few meters above the ground in trees, the nest being a platform of sticks. Breeding takes place in the rainy season in Suriname while in French Guiana, young are reported in March and September.

Postcode : 202506051524 Product : Goslar Location : Paramaribo Subsector : History Category : Shipwreck Note : Goslar is a partly-submerged shipwreck in the Suriname River in Paramaribo, Suriname. It is the remains of a Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL) steam turbine cargo ship that was built in 1929. When the Second World War began in 1939, she sought refuge in Surinam, which was then a Dutch colony. When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, her crew (15 German officers and men, and 49 Chinese seafarers) scuttled her. Goslar was in water too shallow for her to sink entirely. In December 1939 the Italian ocean liner Orazio, was diverted to pick up the Chinese members of the crew, take them to Genoa, where they would be transferred to an Italian ship bound for Shanghai. One of Goslar's German engineer officers unsuccessfully tried to travel with them, disguised as a blind passenger. The 15 German members of Goslar's complement remained aboard as a skeleton crew.
There have been attempts to salvage the wreck. In 1955 the wreck broke in two. Both parts of the wreck remain visible above water. Her registered length was 449.6 ft (137.0 m), her beam was 57.6 ft (17.6 m) and her depth was 26.8 ft (8.2 m). Her turbine was rated at 3,800 shp and gave her a speed of 13 knots (24 km/h).

They spend most of their active hours hunting for insect prey, hopping in short leaps. They are very territorial and aggressive, towards both members of their own species, and others. This is typical of poison dart frog species. They employ a territorial threat display involving a number of techniques, including calls, chasing, and wrestling.
