Comparing Mountain Lion and Badger
These are two poems that were written at the beginning and end of the nineteenth century. The views on animal hunting and animal cruelty are very different today. Animals such as badgers were hunted for sport; it was considered to be entertaining to track a badger using dogs and capture and torture it until death. Animas such as the Mexican mountain lion were hunted in Mexico for a profit, their fur was a highly sought after fashion item and was sold at very high prices.
Both the poems describe animals that are put through a chase before they are killed. The badger is portrayed as aggressive and fierce yet he is demure, the first two characteristics are masculine but the badger also seems

Repetition is also used, "she will never" this brings home the fact that the mountain lion is dead and all the things that were affected by her will notice the loss and be greatly affected by it. At the beginning the repetition of, "gun" shows that the poet's party become un-nerved and intimidated.
They are wary, as animals would be in the same situation. The alliteration of 'f' in 'face', 'frost', 'fashioned', all add to the perfection of this creature and how amazed the poet is. As the 'f' sound is quite soft.
In Badger the poet sets the scene very differently to that in Mountain
Lion. Badger has a very busy and fast moving situation the beating rhythm of the poem reflects this, it also shows the pounding beat of the badgers heart as it is running for its life. There is tension as the dogs and men enter on the scene.
During the poem the badger varies its reaction as though it is working to a plan, like it is trying to fool the men, "runs along and bites", and, "The badger grins." The strong rhyming couplets of Badger also give an exited, noisy and chaotic atmosphere. There are ten syllables to each line and fourteen lines in each of the two stanzas. There is also a lack of commas and pauses all the way through until the end when the badger finally dies, "and crackles, groans, and dies." The use of commas shows the slow death of the animal as all its energy is
Wolves have always been a symbol of the wild, free in spirit and roamers of the land. These animals are considered majestic and protectors of the wilderness. They have always roamed the western United States, although their population has fluctuated over time. Over the past 10 years wolf reintroduction into Yellowstone National Park has been a controversial topic to those of the United States. As of 1995, wolves have been reintroduced into the park. This has come with some strong opposition and yet has prevailed. The future of the wolf in Yellowstone park is now looking bright, although not certain since there still are those who want them banished again.
In the morosely reluctant passage, “The Rattler,” the author depicts a conflict between a man’s consciousness and his duty to kill the snake. With the detailed images of the scene, the reader comes to understand the man’s internal conflict. He must decide whether or not it is necessary to kill an innocent rattlesnake; however, when the obligation to protect others is greater than the life of the snake, the man has no other choice but to kill the snake. Throughout the passage, “The Rattler” brilliantly utilizes diction, detail, syntax and overall organization to convey his message.
1)Which “management assertions” were relevant to Paragon’s construction projects? Describe an audit procedure that Arthur Anderson could have employed to corroborate that assertion for each.
During the 1940’s, wolves were exterminated from Colorado and few have come back since. As a result the ecosystem that we have in Colorado is somewhat skewed due to the absence of them. Many people think that wolves are a nuisance and would get in the way of the agricultural style that colorado has. However, wolves are considered a keystone species which means their “presence would reinvigorate the natural order” (clifford). For this reason wolves should be reintroduced into montezuma county. The reintroduction would greatly benefit and restore the balance of our ecosystem.
The bear have evolved along time ago and now there is only eight species existing. They evolved from early canids during the late Oligocene and early Miocene, about 25 million years ago. The earliest ancestors where the Dormaalocyon Latouri. An intermediate ancestor was the short faced bear, very similar to the modern day bear. It lived through the pleistocene period. It grew to thirteen feet long and was a herbivore. The ancestors to the modern day bears lived in the same climate and ate the same things. The modern bear contrast from the ancestor because the ancestor was more skinny and was smaller, and it was more cat like. The eight species of bear that still exist. They are the Polar bear, Brown bear, American black bear, Asian
Animal Intelligence Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. Psychologists have exploited this concept in many ways to try and determine whether non-human animals are capable of intelligence. From social learning it is logical to assume that, since non-human animals are able to both acquire and use new behaviours, they must be intelligent in some way. Heyes stated that there are 6 types of behaviour which suggest intelligence. These are imitation, self-recognition, social relationship formation, role-taking, deception and perspective taking.

Among the many different marsupials in the world, there is one that stands out and is recognized, not only for its looks, but also for the hardships that it deals with in being a koala. The koala originated in Australia, and was discovered by trappers around the time of 1798. Many rare and exotic animals have been found in Australia, because of its remoteness and isolation from most of the civilized world. Australia has been described as a huge ark, a giant lifeboat, cut off from contact with the rest of the world and carrying with it a group of unique creatures (Serventy 1975). The creatures that inhabit Australia are made up of many different classifications of animal groups that have found themselves all living
In terms of similarities, both Kessner and Badger believed that Roosevelt’s New Deal simply lacked the essential capacity for solving the intricate problems of the Great Depression. However, while Kessner outright points to the massive jump start of the economy from WWII, Badger merely hints at it, limiting his appraisal to Roosevelt keeping the economy and nation intact for the war. Furthermore, Roosevelt is seen as “being in the right place at the right time” in both articles. In a time of rising unemployment, destabilization of banks, and lack of preventative measures, the general public opened up to Roosevelt’s reform policies that drastically altered social relations between the federal government and civilians and economic relations between
In the ecosystem organisms rely on each other for food and protection. The Food chain is like a pyramid you have the producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and quaternary consumers. It’s an almost perfect balance and if any level were to just stop existing then the food chain would be destroyed. An example of organisms relying on others is an issue of isle royale were the wolves and moose population are in jeopardy. This relationship is important because without the other animal the population would die.
100,000 years ago, the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenus) roamed the Earth. The woolly mammoth is one of the most studied megafauna of the Pleistocene epoch, which spanned from 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. Most populations of it died out around 10,000 years ago [4], although a small population survived until around 3.7 thousand years ago on Wrangel Island [6]. The woolly mammoth was one of the many now-extinct megafauna that existed during the Pleistocene.
There are many people who I look up to on a everyday basis. Teachers, parents, sports coaches, and even everyday people showing random acts of integrity. But the person at the top of my personal hero is Tee Grizzly. Now I'm assuming most of people reading my essay don’t have any idea what a Tee or a Grizzly is. Well, maybe a Grizzly but that’s besides the point. Tee Grizzly is a rapper that was born in Detroit, Joy road to be exact. Making songs about his childhood talking about how he came from nothing to now being one of the most trending rappers in the game. He inspires me tremendously.

The black bear is the smallest North American bear. The adults are usually less than six feet long and stand about two to three feet tall at shoulders.

Each paw has five very strong claws, which is used for tearing, digging, and climbing. One single hit from the front paw is enough to kill an adult deer. A black
