Bruni Vergara Environmental Center. During our visit, we toured the facility and were privileged to have an employee inform us on the grand diversity of the species found in our region. Throughout the tour, we observed and discussed a variety of animals, however in this paper I decided to focus on five: The first species we encountered during our tour was a bobcat or Lynx rufus. The bobcat’s phylum is chordata and from the class mammalia. It belongs to the order carnivora, which consists of meat-eating
sister named Celina were all wearing thin summer clothes right as we stood outside the house next to my mom’s car. Yesterday, my mom startled me by informing me that we were going to get a cat. She had explained to us that we were going to go to an animal shelter to go pick one. “Where are we going?” I questioned. “Well the adoption center is located somewhere in Simi Valley so the trip might take a while.” replied my mom. Celina asked, “Well how long will it take?” My dad answered, “Maybe about 45
me than the animal world. Animals vary in size and shape, they adapt to specific environments, and they all have unique relationships with one another. These things fascinate me. I can’t determine when this obsession grew in me but I can remember my four year old self, drawing every animal I can think of, from moose to flamingos. I would watch nature documentaries whenever I could find them on while flipping through the channels on the television. Frogs were most likely the first animal I went hands
This is the story of how three quarter-sized creatures inspired me to fulfill my life’s dream. My dream is to own an animal sanctuary for endangered reptiles. The turtles I raised as a child helped realize this dream. Looking out the window of the second floor of my grandmother’s house, I see a large open yard with clumps of trees sprawled across the land, thick clusters of bushes and hedges surrounded the perimeter, and in the center a vast reflective pool. Almost like a piece of the sky fell
I open my eyes and listen to the sounds around me. I can hear an animal. It was not any animal though because the animal happened to be a pig. What was odd though was the pig was blockish as if we were in a game. “Where are we?” I intended to ask myself. “Minecraft!” I turn to the voice that came from my cousin, Jacob. Realization hits me and I began to panic. If this is Minecraft, then we both know that when it gets dark, or when it turns nighttime, the monsters come out and are hostile
An Animal Extravaganza’s Galore Animals are the beginning of the best nerve wrecking filled love you could ever dream of for your entire existence. Ever since I was a young child, I’ve always resonated with the everlasting idea of helping animals more so than anyone and anything else in this world. My love for animals had begun when I was a mere two years old. I’ve always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and much more. I remember the joy I’d felt when my parents brought my dogs and I
Dealing with health issues or preventative care for animals is not something many people think about day to day. However, when it comes time and our furry friends inevitably become sick or need their annual checkup where is it that we turn to? Do we scroll through many of the internet pages trying to find a cure, or do we put our pet’s health needs in the hands of the Veterinarian’s and staff at the animal clinic? Thinking of a hospital for pets may seem pricey or scary for some because we don’t
that showing animals was going to be my passion for the next ten years. It was simple, going to the fair has always been something that I have always loved, the people, the animals, and the food of course. Then something happened and fair started to get even more interesting for me. In 2007 I started showing animals at the Clark County Fair, the first year I started out with a rabbit and a turkey. I always knew I wanted to show animals I loved being around them, helping with animals any chance I
level. The three animals helped me realize that even though they aren’t real, we can relate with each other and I can also learn valuable lessons from them that would help me in life. The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Yakko from Animaniacs for his annoying yet sympathetic behavior, Kermit the Frog from The Muppets for his insecurities, and Stimpy from The Ren and Stimpy Show for his child-like personality. Even though Yakko Warner is an animal that no one - not
A few years ago, my Mom and I went to a fall exotic animal auction, which took place over by Pierz. It was mid October so the mornings had a bite to them and the days were cool. We woke up at 6:00 in the morning so we could get our rabbits, which we were bringing to the auction to sell, settled in their cages. We had filled each cage with hay the night before so they would be warm for the ride there and for the time they’d be stuck sitting in their cages. After we loaded them up, we headed to the
