Elephant and Rhino Comparison

Poaching of Endangered Species “The main reason for animals endangered is the uncontrolled human activity.” This quote was stated on a website called Animal Port. There are many reasons why this statement is true, one of them are poaching. Poaching occurs out of greed to make money. Although there are several laws to protect certain animals, this is a horrible act to any animal. Especially for the animals that are already endangered. Poachers minimizing these animal’s numbers for their own

more than 50 percent of all deaths. Some people argue that animal poaching is a life style and should not be stopped. Majority of the population argues that it is wrong and steps need to be taking to end it. Big game animals such as tigers, elephants, and rhinos are facing serious danger. They are being pushed to extinction in many countries. Animal poaching is bad for the environment and food chains, its gruesome, operates on the black market and is making animals go extinct. Animal poaching has

KEY QUESTION: HOW HAS HUMAN PERCEPTION OF OTHER SPECIES AND THEIR NEEDS LED TO CHANGES IN ECOSYSTEM IMBALANCE? INTRODUCTION: The ability to survive and reproduce by living organisms is constantly being tested by its external environment. Organisms those are unable to cope up with these changing external factors, face extinction. Over the years, species have evolved with the changing environmental conditions and have incurred adaptations to suit their existence in their environment

extremely harmful to humans. Poaching endangers our species because it reduces the population of rare or endangered animals. In the article "Poaching Blamed for Loss of Western Black Rhino", by Frank Jordans states “Its loss is significant because the Western Black Rhino is genetically distinct from other rhino subspecies. Reintroducing animals born into captivity is costly and may be impossible, experts say.” According to the article, once a species or subspecies goes into extinction within its

Every year, trophy hunters kill tens of thousands of animals, some of them threatened or endangered, exclusively for the thrill of bringing home a trophy . In order to acquire trophies, trophy hunters tend to work with outfitters that arrange equipment, supplies, and often trained guides. This section will further elaborate on the business of trophy hunting. Working with a Trophy Hunting Outfitter Trophy hunting outfitters facilitate trophy hunting outings and thereby make such outings accessible

Orangutans are amongst the most iconic species in wildlife conservation (Meijaard, E., Wich, S., Ancrenaz, M., & Marshall, A J., 2012) Their behaviours and facial expressions give them an uncannily human like personality. Their genetic comparisons, cognitive and behavioural similarities indicate a close evolutionary relationship between humans and themselves. [REF] There are two species of the Orangutan, the Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii) and the Bornean Orangautan (Pongo pygmaeus). The Sumatran

bring in revenue and present the tricks these animals can do, yet these places preform detrimental acts to the animals. For example, the killer whales at SeaWorld are sometimes starved if they do not perform the way the trainer wants them to. In comparison, circuses torture lions and tigers until they are submissive to how the show-people want them to act. Zoos do not necessarily torture their animals, but it is proven the animals live much shorter lives in captivity. “Lives of animals in the wild

widely known of because it lacks the loss of human life as the original witch hunts. Animals are the modern witch in a lot of respects. They take on the role of scapegoat for everything from evil spirits to bad weather. Many will laugh at such a comparison, but the truth is all of the characteristics of the Salem Witch trials shows up in the more modern epidemic

will I manage to cause a change in this topic? I will start basic, by presenting my project during the “Unit 2 Independent Project Share Fair”. I will be showing research what I did, including what types of animals are being poached, and also, a comparison of poaching as opposed to hunting because believe it or not, hunting can be acceptable (with proper conditions), while poaching is atrocious. But during

700,000 to 200,000 years ago. These pioneers were the first to live in colder climates, hunt large animals with wooden spears, and utilize fire. They were also our first ancestors to construct simple shelters out of wood and rock. Interestingly a comparison between Neanderthal and modern human DNA suggests the two lineages diverged from a common ancestor, most likely Homo heidelbergensis!
