Import numbers rarely match the source exportersâ stats. Reasons for import-export statistical discrepancies include re-exports, time lags, misallocations, distinct trade reporting systems, different quantity measurements and country confidentiality rules. Also, transportation and insurance costs are sometimes added to import totals.
Northern pike are freshwater fish with elongated bodies and flattened, duckbill-shaped snouts. Their mouths comprise half the length of their head and are full of sharp teeth.

Description. The Northern Cardinal is one of the most well known birds in America. It is undoubtedly a favorite as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky all honor the cardinal as their state bird. Two professional sports teams and several universities have made the cardinal their mascots. In most places, the cardinal can not be mistaken for any other bird. The Summer or Scarlet Tanager may look similar from a distance, but the cardinal usually gives itself away with its loud, musical whistle, or short âcheckâ note.
