Bat Eared Fox Research Paper

Richard Leonard Kuklinski, known as “The Iceman” was born April 11, 1935. Kuklinski was a contract killer who was convicted of 5 murders. Kuklinski was given the nickname “Iceman” for freezing a body of a victim to mask the time when the victim was murdered. Kuklinski lived with his wife Barbara Kuklinski and 3 children in the suburb of Dumont, New Jersey. Prior to his arrest, his family was apparently unaware of Kuklinski's double life and crimes. Kuklinski was a contract killer for Newark's DeCavalcante crime family and New York City's Five Families of the American Mafia. Kuklinski favored to murder people with sodium cyanide since it killed very quickly and also was hard to detect. With Cyanide, Kuklinski would simply kill the victim by either injecting the cyanide in them, putting it in the victim’s food, aerosol spray or spilling it on the victim’s skin. After killing his victim, he will dispose the body in a 55-gallon oil drum. Other ways Kuklinski would dispose the body were either burying the body or putting the body in the trunk of a car then having it crushed in the junkyard. Kuklinski says that Robert Pronge, nicknamed “Mr. Softee” has taught him different methods to use cyanide to kill his victims. Pronge allegedly asked him to carry out a hit on Pronge's

Introduction The island foxes (Urocyon littoralis) are a unique species of small carnivores that only live on the Channel Islands located off the coast of Southern California. The island fox is about 12 inches high, weights 2.5 to 6 pounds, and has a grizzled gray hair color along the top of the head and back. Along the abdomen, neck and legs it has a more cinnamon coloring, and white along the cheeks and throat to the chest (Friends of the Island Fox, 2012). According to Levy (2010)

The mlb has great hitters that can hit a homerun but why do they use wooden bats and not metal ones or at least a compound.I was thinking the used it because the bat weighed more so it would be harder to hit the ball.Aluminium bats are lighter than the wooden bats.Another reason why the mlb is using the wooden bats is because the people are just waiting for the ball to be pitched to them so they can hit the ball out of the park with the wooden bat.

Do you like, or do you dislike bats like they are a cold? If you don’t, well you’ll dislike this paragraph because this one is all about the Northern long eared bat in North Dakota. The Northern long-eared bat has been on the endangered list since November 30, 1979, and frankly they aren’t bad for being bats. There are people trying to save this animal, like environmentalists, and there’s people who dislike these bats, like farmers and ranchers. The thing is, farmers and ranchers are the people who put them on the endangered list in the first place and they don’t realize it, but they are hunting them to try and save their families and animals from this bat. They also put themselves on the endangered list because

Throughout history, species have evolved and evolved over time. Evolution is caused by many factors some of which include natural selection, mutations, genetic drift, neutral or random evolution, migration or gene flow. Unlike evolution, many species are being extinct such as the Baiji River Dolphin, the Javan tiger, and golden toad. Before these organisms extinct, they were first endangered. An endangered specie is a specie on the brinck of extinction. This is the case of the swift fox, also known as Vulpes velox. For decades, scientists have thrived to keep the Vulpes velox from extinction through many means. To understand the swift foxes’ lifespan, one must learn their history and background, reasons they’re declining in numbers, historical homeland and present homeland and finally factors that caused this decline.

From there finding they found that the Foxzilla shelter at night time was a cave. Lots of precipitation all year and at the same time the weather would be hot and humid. At night time bats and owls would be come out of the cave. Sometimes there would be small animals near the Foxzilla. This explains why the Foxzilla as sharp teeths. There was a lot of berries and plants near the cave. An adaptation for the Foxzilla was to find a way to keep warm and it did that by sheltering himself in caves. When it’s hot and humid the Foxzilla needs a way to retain water and to not grow a lot of hair. The only time it was hot was when it

The Fennec Fox lives in a desert environment, where it is very hot in the daytime, but can get very cold at night. They usually dwell in the deserts in northern Africa and the peninsula of Sinai. The deserts they are in usually stretch from Morocco, across Egypt, south to north Niger and Sudan, and east to Kuwait. This magnificent animal has many ways to help it survive. There are many ways the body saves the Fennec Fox, one being their built-in temperature regulators.

The article “Taming the Wild” by Evan Ratliff published in the National Geographic is about a scientific study in southern Siberia that is breeding foxes for domestication. The animals in the experiment are specifically picked due to their traits that make them more perceptible to humans. Scientists have been working to evolve them, much like wolves to dogs, and have had fascinating success. Their group of foxes have significant differences from their undomesticated counterparts.

Human-wildlife co-existence is become more and more common due to global environmental changes. The red fox is one of the agilest and adaptive mammals in existence. Over the years, the population of red foxes in North America is gradually increasing. Primarily their habitat is around the Arctic Circle; however, after incidences of glaciation, the change in temperatures necessitated the need to find new habitats. The red fox is also known as Vulpes vulpes has adapted to the urban life and now, it is not uncommon to spot a one or a whole park of red foxes in the North American woods.

The main reason for the creation of the Elk Hills Habitat Conservation Area is because humans are disturbing and destructing their natural habitat for cultivation or urbanization. The change in the Central Valley from open grasslands to farms, orchards, houses and roads has had the greatest impact on San Joaquin kit foxes, causing death, illness, injury, difficulty in finding a mate and difficulty in finding food. (Wildlife, 2014).

I can distinctly remember myself as a young child walking outside at dusk and looking up into the sky seeing a recurring black cloud floating above, swooping and diving like a synchronized ballet above me. Now, sixteen or so odd years later when I visit my parents country home in North Georgia, I no longer see the performance dancing above me. This is a sad reminder of a much bigger issue. The issue I am referring to is the huge decline in the eastern bat population due to WNS or White Nose Syndrome.

The Grey Fox is distinct for any other species of fox due to the greyish white fur along its back. The fur on its chest, back of ears, underside of the tail, legs feet, and neck are a reddish brown. On each side of its muzzle, there is a black band. The Grey Fox also has strong, short legs that are used for climbing trees. Their feet also have hooked claws that aid them in tree climbing. An adult Grey Fox is 21-30 inches long, with a tail another 11-16 inches long, they also weigh 7-11

Dens are also necessary for San Joaquin kit fox to reproduce. Kit foxes reach sexually maturity at 22 months and mate from December to March. An average of 3 to 5 pups is born after a 48 to 52 day pregnancy. Special pupping dens are built for pupping. Dens are highly important to protect females and pups from predators such as coyote, red foxes and as well as humans During this season males are out hunting for both of them, while females feed the pups. The kit fox prey upon ground squirrels, gophers, birds, lizard, mice, ground nesting birds, insects and eat vegetation as well. They are solitary animals, preferring to live alone or in small packs. Therefore, pups are weaned after a month and leave the den. After four or five moths they are able to scavenger and hunt on their own and leave the family.

Should capital punishment be abolished in America or is it a reasonable form of punishment for certain criminals? That’s the question that has been asked for the past 40 years and it is a sensitive topic on the count of people’s lives being at stake. It is a reasonable debate though, because there are many people that think it is morally wrong and should not be practiced, but then there are others that believe in capital punishment and think it should stay in place. Is America going to totally abolish the death penalty?

In America today, about 92,500 job openings in the department of child, family, and social work currently exist (Career/Technical, 2015). According to O*NET OnLine, the expected projected growth is 5 to 8% (2015). In 2014 this career had an average of 305,000 employees. Individuals in this field must have great comprehension, listening and perceptual skills. This Department of Labor site also states that the median wage for this career field is $42,120 annually. To become a social worker one does not need extensive education. The choice to become a social worker will positively impact many individuals.
