Squirrels are omnivorous, with diets consisting of nuts," " seeds, fruits, insects, eggs, fungi, and occasionally small vertebrates. They are known for their" " caching behavior, where they store surplus food in underground burrows or hidden locations to" " consume during winter or times of scarcity. \n\n" "Squirrels are active during the day (diurnal) and" " communicate using vocalizations, tail movements, and scent markings. They build nests, or dreys," " made of twigs, leaves, and other materials, for shelter and raising their young. Squirrels play" " important roles in ecosystems as seed dispersers, helping maintain plant diversity and forest" " regeneration. They are also prey for various predators, including birds of prey, snakes," " carnivores, and domestic pets. While some squirrel species are abundant and adaptable to human" " environments, others face challenges such as habitat loss, fragmentation, and competition with" " invasive species. Conservation efforts focus on protecting squirrel habitats, managing urban" " populations, and promoting coexistence strategies to minimize conflicts and support squirrel" " populations in diverse ecosystems.", "turkey": "Turkeys are large birds native to North America, known for their distinctive features such as" " fleshy wattles, caruncles, and fan-shaped tails. They belong to the family Phasianidae and are" " closely related to grouse, pheasants, and other game birds. Turkeys come in two primary species:" " the wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and the domesticated turkey (Meleagris gallopavo domestica)." " Wild turkeys are known for their iridescent plumage, metallic hues, and robust build, while domestic" " turkeys are selectively bred for meat production and may have different color variations and" " characteristics. Turkeys are omnivores, feeding on a variety of foods such as seeds, nuts, fruits," " insects, small vertebrates, and plant matter. They have powerful legs and strong beaks adapted" " for foraging, scratching the ground, and pecking at food items. Turkeys are social birds, often" " forming flocks or groups called rafter, particularly during feeding and roosting times. They" " communicate through vocalizations, including gobbles, clucks, purrs, and alarm calls, used for" " signaling group movements, threats, or courtship displays. \n\n" "Turkeys play important roles in" " ecosystems as seed dispersers, insect controllers, and contributors to nutrient cycling through" " their foraging activities. They are also culturally significant birds, associated with Thanksgiving" " celebrations in the United States and traditional hunting practices in various cultures. While" " wild turkey populations have rebounded due to conservation efforts, some challenges remain," " including habitat loss, predation, hunting pressures, and diseases. Conservation programs focus" " on sustainable turkey management, habitat restoration, hunting regulations, and public education" " to ensure the conservation of wild turkey populations and their habitats.", "wolf": "Wolves are iconic carnivores belonging to the Canidae family, known for their social structures," " hunting prowess, and ecological roles as apex predators. They are found in diverse habitats" " across North America, Eurasia, and parts of Africa, ranging from forests and tundra to grasslands" " and mountains. Wolves come in several subspecies, such as gray wolves, red wolves, arctic wolves," " and Ethiopian wolves, each adapted to specific environments and prey species. They have muscular" " bodies, bushy tails, keen senses, and a range of vocalizations for communication within packs." " Wolves are highly social animals, living in family groups called packs, consisting of alpha, beta," " and subordinate members with defined roles in hunting, territory defense, and pup rearing. They" " communicate through howls, barks, growls, and body postures, coordinating pack activities and" " maintaining social cohesion. \n\n" "Wolves are opportunistic carnivores, feeding on ungulates such as" " deer, elk, moose, and caribou, as well as small mammals, birds, fish, and carrion. They are" " skilled hunters, using cooperative strategies, stalking, chasing, and ambush tactics to catch prey." " Wolves play crucial roles in ecosystems by regulating prey populations, shaping vegetation dynamics," " and creating cascading effects on other wildlife species. They are also culturally significant" " animals, symbolizing wilderness, resilience, and complex social behaviors. Despite their ecological" " importance, wolves face threats such as habitat loss, human-wolf conflicts, poaching, and diseases." " Conservation efforts focus on wolf recovery programs, habitat conservation, predator-prey dynamics," " and public awareness to promote coexistence between wolves and human communities while ensuring" " healthy ecosystems.", "wombat": "Wombats are burrowing marsupials native to Australia, known for their sturdy build, short legs," " and rodent-like appearance. They belong to the family Vombatidae and are herbivorous mammals" " adapted for life in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and semi-arid regions." " Wombats come in three species: the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus), southern hairy-nosed wombat" " (Lasiorhinus latifrons), and northern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii), each with" " distinct characteristics and distributions. Wombats have robust skulls, strong teeth for chewing" " tough vegetation, and powerful forelimbs equipped with long claws for digging burrows and tunnels." " They are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular, being most active during dawn and dusk hours and" " resting in burrows during the day to avoid heat and predators. Wombats are solitary animals," " maintaining territories marked with scent glands and communicating through vocalizations and" " body language. They are herbivores, feeding on grasses, roots, tubers, and bark, using their" " sensitive noses to detect food sources and potential threats.\n\n" " Wombats are excellent diggers," " creating extensive burrow systems with multiple entrances, chambers for resting, nesting, and" " raising their young. They are well adapted for burrow life, with backward-facing pouches to" " prevent soil from entering while digging. Wombats also exhibit behaviors such as wallowing in" " mud or water to cool off, marking territories with feces, and grooming their fur for hygiene." " While wombats are generally slow-moving and placid, they can defend themselves aggressively" " when threatened, using their strong legs and sharp claws for defense. Conservation efforts focus" " on protecting wombat habitats, managing human-wombat conflicts, preventing road accidents, and" " addressing threats such as habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and diseases like mange." " Public education and awareness campaigns also play a crucial role in promoting wombat conservation" " and appreciation." } # Function to display details of a selected animal def show_animal_details(animal): # Create a new window for animal details detail_window = tk.Toplevel() detail_window.title(animal.capitalize()) detail_window.geometry("800x600") detail_window.configure(bg="white") # Create a canvas and scrollbar for the detail window canvas = tk.Canvas(detail_window, bg="white") canvas.pack(side=tk.LEFT, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True) scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(detail_window, orient="vertical", command=canvas.yview) scrollbar.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y) canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set) # Create a frame to hold the details detail_frame = tk.Frame(canvas, bg="white") canvas.create_window((0, 0), window=detail_frame, anchor='nw') # Add a title label with the animal name title_label = tk.Label(detail_frame, text=animal.capitalize(), font=("Helvetica", 24, "bold"), bg="white") title_label.pack(pady=20) # Try to load and display the animal image try: animal_image = Image.open(f"Images/easy/{animal.lower()}.jpg") animal_image = resize_image(animal_image, 400, 400) animal_photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(animal_image) image_label = tk.Label(detail_frame, image=animal_photo, bg="white") image_label.image = animal_photo # Keep a reference to avoid garbage collection image_label.pack(pady=20) except FileNotFoundError: image_label = tk.Label(detail_frame, text="Image not available", font=("Helvetica", 18), bg="white") image_label.pack(pady=20) # Add a description label with the animal description description = animal_descriptions.get(animal.lower(), "Description not available.") description_label = tk.Label(detail_frame, text=description, font=("Helvetica", 18), wraplength=760, justify="left", bg="white") description_label.pack(pady=20) # Update the scroll region to include the new frame size detail_frame.update_idletasks() canvas.configure(scrollregion=canvas.bbox("all")) # Function to handle mouse wheel scrolling def _on_mouse_wheel(event): canvas.yview_scroll(int(-1 * (event.delta / 120)), "units") detail_window.bind_all("", _on_mouse_wheel) detail_window.bind_all("", _on_mouse_wheel) detail_window.bind_all("", _on_mouse_wheel) # Function to search for animals in the list based on user input def search_animal(event, search_entry, search_listbox, error_label): """Searches for animals based on the user's input.""" search_term = search_entry.get().lower() matching_animals = [animal for animal in animal_list if search_term in animal.lower()] search_listbox.delete(0, tk.END) if matching_animals: error_label.config(text="") for animal in matching_animals: search_listbox.insert(tk.END, animal) else: error_label.config(text="No matching animal found.
