Animal Relationships: Hermit Crab And Sea Anemone

In the book “Never Cry Wolf”, by Farley Mowat. Mowat tells the story of his experiences studying wolves in the Northern Canadian Arctic as Mowat conducts his research on these wolves, he discovers that these wolves are different from what he believed at first, not just seeing them as cold blooded killers, but more different than other wolf packs, as he states that this wolf pack has a symbiotic relationship with the Caribou population nearby. In this relationship the wolf pack helps keep the Caribou population strong by only hunting the sick or weak members of the herd, in this case only the strong are left alive to strive, and the weak are hunted. Mowat also later says that the wolves amongst the wolf pack keep peaceful interactions in between

“People and animals are supposed to be together.” (My Story, Temple Grandin). Animals and people have always been together. They would not be the same without one another. I agree with this quote because people and animals really do need each other. Animals can teach us. Animals can protect us. Animals can change our lives.

Human beings are considered to be the greatest creations that were given knowledge, skills and power to rule over the entire planet. However, at the same time, their relationship with other animals and its implications in human civilization cannot be denied. Historically, it is proven that for thousands of years, human beings have developed close contact with animals who were their means of living and at the same time often, great companions. Considering the great significance of animals in the lives of human beings, often their relationships were portrayed in literature by authors. It was meant to help the global community to have a clear understanding of the impact that animals have in the lives of human beings which is very much significant.

Have you ever seen an odd relationship/friendship in animals? If you do not know what I am talking about when I say Odd Relationships it means that it is like an odd pair of friends. One example of a strange relationship/relationship is an orangutan and a dog, how odd is that? The class which has read a passage about a strange relationship/friendship and in the passage, it had an orangutan and a dog, and it was saying how the orangutan would not communicate with anyone and the very first time the orangutan saw the dog the orangutan ran up to the dog and gave it a big hug around the neck. Every since then they had been nest friends. Well yea it is so sweet but we are going to be talking about a dog that just had puppies that might be willing

I think every single day we are personally connected with animals. We eat animals for food, wear animal skins for clothes, own animals as pets, use animals for recreation, and experiment on animals to test drugs and consumer products. We are aware of this, yet we naturally give little thought to the overwhelming number of animals that we use in these ways, and what the animals themselves might be suffering as we use them for our purposes. While no non-human animal on this planet has the cultured rational abilities that we do, many, however, have mental capacities that enable them to experience pain, suffering, and anxiety

Reading "Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat" by Hal Herzog and watching TED Talks by guest speakers, I noticed that the main idea that these sources focus on are the several different types of animal-human relationships. Here is where I came to a conclusion. I have always wondered how a relationship between humans and animals forms. If a pet is a private and homely animal that is kept for companionship and the pleasure of one 's family, then what holds such a strong bond between animals and human when we are so different from each other?

Wolves are a vital part of animal's well being. In the book Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat, Mowat goes to study wolves in the middle of barren Canada. In Canada he meets an Eskimo named Mike and he stays in his cabin while he finds a wolf den to study. He studies how pups grow up and how the wolves hunt, also their diet. He finds out how the caribou are disappearing, and estimates how many are killed in a certain amount of time. Along with many other things Mowat uses Logos with Personification and Characterization to explain how the wolves are not savage killers.

Ever since the Earth was formed, animals and humans co-existed. Animals were the first fellow friends to humans helping them over decades of centuries. Be it closer to the equator or towards the poles, they helped each other to live in cordial relationship. They share similar qualities despite the fact that they belong to different species. This friendly relationship has helped Earth a better place to live.

While humans and animals are commonly seen to think apart and generate thoughts differently than each other, the truth is that since the beginning, humans and animals have had many ways in which they found each other to be compatible with the opposite, because they had come to a realization that they needed each other physically, emotionally, and mentally. And of course though pets may not be suitable to someone’s capricious persona, studies over time have shown that, spending quality time with a pet boosts happiness and helps your immune system.

Would you rather find a bug in your apple and have your salad be on the wilted side, or take a big bite of artificial flavors and chemicals? What would you rather eat for dinner; a quick pick up from a fast food restaurant or a nutritious home cooked meal? For some, there may be no choice but to pick off the dollar menu at McDonalds or Burger King. Due to this circumstance, the consequences include an all-time rise of childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes in the U.S. However, this circumstance is usually due to parents not being around, or a parent not having enough time or money to purchase fresh produce. The access to fresh, local, organic produce is difficult to come by, especially in low-income neighborhoods or towns. “I tend to sympathize

Horseshoe crabs have been on the earth since 30 million years ago which is before the dinosaurs lived. The Delaware Bay has the biggest population of horseshoe crabs in the world. In Delaware, the horseshoe crab population has decreased rapidly which is a problem for the environment. Many shorebirds that migrate, rely on horseshoe crab eggs for food. Also, the biomedical industry depends on horseshoe crabs for the substance, Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate(LAL) that is found in the blood of horseshoe crabs. Finally, fisheries use horseshoe crabs as bait for eels and whelk. Delaware researches and protects horseshoe crabs to benefit the environment and humans.

“Horseshoe crabs are some of the most successful life forms on earth.” They have been around for over 445 million years. Longer than even the pesky cockroaches. They have a blood that turns to jelly, creating a barrier between them and pathogens, keeping them safe from any diseases. But for the physical harm, they have adapted a hard shell or carapace to protect them from attacks. Horseshoe crabs also have gills as thin as the pages of a book, allowing them to breathe out of water for as long as they are wet. This is especially good for spawning. Speaking of which, they can also produce 90,000 fertile eggs a year, increasing the population. They seem unstoppable.

Jellyfish live mainly in the ocean, but they aren't actually fish -- they're plankton. These plants and animals either float in the water or possess such limited swimming powers that currents control their horizontal movements. Some plankton are microscopic, single-celled organisms, while others are several feet long. Jellyfish can range in size from less than an inch to nearly 7 feet long, with tentacles up to 100 feet long.

According to “Animal Roles and Relationships”, wolf packs have a specialized social order. Most of the wolves in the pack are in charge of helping to find food and making sure that everyone is safe. When wolf pups are old enough to walk, the mother joins in helping the pack after taking care of the pups. So the dog would protect the kittens and possibly let them do things by

Other wolf mothers or males will bring the mother food so that she does not have to leave her young." Another example in which I have gotten from the second article is, "Suryia always shares his snacks with his best friend Roscoe. These are ways that animals from other species could take of each other by feeding them or giving them food. These also are examples of how a mother dog could also feed or give food to a baby
