Do Humans Need To Save Koala

Before I get started on the arguments some information needs to be provided first. Silverback gorillas are protectors of their group. These specific gorillas are extremely affectionate and take care of one another. Almost like humans and the “mama/papa bear” instincts that our parents have. They are also very loving animals and will not make or cause harm if it is not necessary. When silverbacks feel that them or their group is in danger they will try to get rid of the intruder by

It is important to remove any dominant or aggressive kangaroos if the enclosure is a walk-through, or if they are displaying threatening behaviour or harm to any individuals or animals likewise. Keeping together a group of females is best if the kangaroos are interacting with zoo visitors daily.

In spite, of David Wilkerson and his oppinion I think that animals are a very important species and that they deserve to be saved just as much as us. There is an article that states a pack of three lions saved a twelve year-old girl from being kidnapped but here is the thing the lions were wild. She was never hurt of killed from these wild lions. On the contrary, though the

Have you ever wondered what koala’s look like,eat,or even where they live.Koalas are really interesting animals about what they look like,eat and where they live.Koalas look really cute,kind of like a teddy bear.They are really picky about what they eat,they only eat eucalyptus leaves.The interesting facts about koalas are that koalas make raging noises to communicate to each other. This essay will provide information on the koala and discuss its appearance,habitat and diet ,and give you some interesting fact about them.

Recent surveys in Queensland show that chlamydia has caused symptoms in up to 50 percent of the state's wild koalas, with probably even more infected but not showing symptoms. The first, Chlamydia spectrum, is causing a vast majority of health problems in Queensland's koalas; the second, C. pneumonia, is less common. Chlamydia causes a host of symptoms in koalas, including eye infections, which can lead to blindness, making it difficult for them to find scarce eucalyptus leaves, their primary food source. The epidemic has been particularly severe in Queensland, where nearly all koalas are infected with koala retrovirus, said Dr. Gillett. Treating chlamydia in wild koalas is a challenge, she said. There is no treatment available for koala retrovirus,

The Virunga Gorillas is endangered but smart and amazing species. The Virunga National Park or NKP is located in the Democratic Republic of Congo and “is home to nearly 200 gorillas” The Virunga Gorilla is a massive animal. It has a short trunk and broad chest and shoulders. the Virunga Gorillas have a large head and hairless, shiny black eyes and ears. There has been a argument whether or not to keep the mountain gorillas in a nature reserve or to let them stay in their own habitat. My personal opinion on the the Virunga Gorillas shelter is they should be put in nature reserve because the virunga gorillas can be checked for disease that can help prevent their extinction, virunga gorillas can be better taken care of, and they can live their

Have you ever wondered about the Mountain gorilla and how they are disappearing quicker than they are reproducing? Well you are right because the mountain gorillas are vanishing from the environment very quickly. Mountain Gorilla’s are important to our ecosystem. If we don’t protect them now they will go extinct.

Primate conservation has long been a topic of debate, reliant most heavily on the struggle to provide the necessary resources to combat the declining rate of population growth among various species. Orangutans in particular, both Sumatran and Bornean, have experienced a rapid drop in their free-living populations. With an estimate of only 27,000 left in the wild, questions have been raised over what selective pressures are impacting the steady decline of these animals existence. While hunting and poaching have been identified as contributing factors, habitat loss primarily takes center stage in their demise. Conservation efforts have been made and continue to be somewhat successful, however, challenges and set backs continue to threaten

Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei (scientific name) ), are critically endangered with only about 880 left in the wild. Mountain gorillas live in Africa’s national parks in protection.

The koala has low genetic diversity. Koalas are mammals and they can live up to 20 years. Their diet is herbivor. Koalas size is 60 to 85 cm plus their weight is around 9kg. Their habitat is the highest branches of eucalyptus trees, known as the gum tree.

There are fossils of koalas in Australia that have been dated as long as 20 million years ago! So as you can see they’ve been around for quite awhile. Did you know that koalas can not be legalized as pets? That’s kind of sad because they’re so cute! Something very interesting is koalas have very similar fingerprints as humans. The brain size of modern koalas has reduced quite substantially from their ancestors, possibly as an adaption to the low energy they get from their diets. The closest living relative to the koala is the wombat. They’re both marsupial mammals with big heads, sharp teeth, small eyes, and a fluffy muscular bodies. They both have poor eyesight and hearing, but they both carry their babies in the pouches on their

Mating season in the jungles of Australia is extremely noticeable, due to the call of the koala during this time. The koala’s call is described as a harsh, grating sound, like a handsaw going through a thin board (Phillips 1990). There is one story in which a man was working with a chain saw when he looked up and saw a large koala coming toward him. The animal grabbed him by the pants and bit his leg and wrist, when it was captured and placed in a box the animal made a very loud, growling cry (Serventy 1975). It is believed that when the koala heard the noise of the chain saw it felt it had to defend its territory with any means necessary. When the baby koala is born it is just a little bit bigger than a human fingernail. During its youth it spends its time in its mothers pouch, just like the ever-famous Australian animal the kangaroo. While in the pouch there are the teats of the mother for the baby to feed on. The mother koala can continue all of her daily routine with the baby in the pouch. When the

He suggests that this is due to humans being more likely to protect things that are of higher importance to them. The study goes further by highlighting the promotion and conservation of non-charismatic species being of great importance to the survival of all biodiversity on the planet. Furthermore, human preferences will increasingly determine the survival prospects for many species’. Conservationists must be aware of aesthetic responses influencing conservation

     The koala is a one of a kind animal. It is the only one of its kind.

Since the beginning of life itself, some species have lived and prospered while other species have gone extinct never to be seen again by mankind. Because of this, some would claim that extinction is natural and not significantly problematic to the world that we live in. Others, however, understand that due to climate change, habitat loss, and poaching, more and more species are becoming endangered which leads to a chain reaction that can be devastating to ecosystems. Species such as the Chinook salmon, gorillas, tropical sharks, and polar bears are all directly affected by climate change, species such as northern spotted owls, Sumatran tigers, and lemurs are greatly harmed due to habitat loss, and species such as the sea turtle, Javan rhinoceros, African elephant, and the Red-Fronted Macaw are all affected by poaching driving them all closer and closer to becoming extinct.
