Feeding A Sloth

Sloths are known for being one of the slowest mammals and for their longs claws, which can help tell each sloth apart. The two and three toed sloths may seem the same to most people, and while they have some things that are alike, they are more different from each other than people think from the number of toes, to their appearance, their skeleton structure, and what they eat.

In Anderson’s Feed, most of the American population is joined to the internet with chips implanted into their brains. This might not be the first science fiction novel to explore the idea that the internet is in our brains, but it does so with an awareness of how that might affect our planet and our biological being in a very visceral, fleshy way. The feed is destroying the planet and interrupts common, basic biological functions. Not only are humans themselves decaying and humanity ceasing to exist, but even the planet has become so polluted that it cannot sustain or support it natural cycles or maintain many populations of wildlife.

This essay discusses a clinical skill in which I have become competent during my placement in care home. I will use a reflective model to discuss how I achieved the necessary level of competence. Reflection can make a sense of the familiar and taken for granted situations and is an important human activity, in which people capture their experience, think about it and evaluate it (Driscoll, 1994). Here I have used the Gibbs model of reflection which includes description, feeling, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan of a learning experience (Gibbs 1988). The clinical skill I have learned is PEG feeding.

Panthers get energy from food and are carnivore which means they are meat eaters. A panthers diet consist of prey as big mammals and deer, antelopes, and rodents, fish and fruit more. Sometimes panthers eat carrion (animals that are already dead). You probably asking, how do Panthers get their food? Well Panthers hunt for their food with skillful techniques. Panthers are very fast animals and can pounce on their enemies. When panthers run after prey they put their back feet in the tracks that the front feet made so not much sound would be made. If a Panther’s fur blends in with their surroundings they stalk their prey from blushes or trees and then, wait for the right time to pounce on their prey and drive their claws into their back.

Amidst giant supermarkets and effortlessly accessible meals, Americans eat whatever is in the grocery store. But the question remains, where did that “cage-free” chicken really come from? Americans are lost in their understanding as to where their food actually comes from. The author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan, asserts that Americans are facing a modern-day version of the omnivore’s dilemma wherein they don’t know what to eat. This is because of fickle science that influences confused Americans, America’s lack of a food culture, and people’s unfamiliarity with the food process.

a. Even though lions are usually the main attractions at zoos, I really enjoy watching the sloths.

The night the cat disappeared was exactly the same to the one the narrator describes in the story “Man eating cats”, this is because the author is telling us there is a connection between the cat and the narrator. The disappearance of the cat and the connection to the narrator is foreshadowing for what will happen in the narrator's future, his own disappearance. “I wonder if your child will think of you that way when he’s grown up...like you were a cat who disappeared up a pine tree” (Murakami 47). This is a clear connection between the cat and the narrator, Izumi compares them to each other revealing the symbolism of the cat. The cat is very representative of the narrator, which makes him more likely to follow the same fate as the cat. The quote is more of a passing thought than one with real intent, yet we find that that there is real evidence of him acting as this cat, disappearing from his family, his life, and his identity, never truly being able to go back to what he knew.

A very famous scientist by the name of Hictor Pauly had been struggling to publicize a creation in years. His last creation, the television, was a great success and led him to the success he has today. Many members of the press stopped by his laboratory in his own village of Hictorville to find out more information on what he was working on but he chased them off with mutated sloths, one of his past creations. As these sloths were equipped with 2000mW laser eyes, nails as sharp as a machete, and faster than cheetahs, nobody picked a fight with them.

A person should wean a calf gradually using specific types of feeds. It is dangerous to use feeds for the mature animals since they can have adverse effects on a calf.

In Iowa I've learned what animals need for every season, different environments causes livestock to adjust their bodies to the changes in weather. In all weather conditions animals need to have a place where they can escape the weather and stay warm, dry, or cool. In summer it is very smart to have fans blowing on the livestock with fresh water so they don't get dehydrated and so they will stay cool. Feeding animals 2-3 times a day in the winter creates body heat so they stay

In Wari funerals before the 1960s, the role of affinity played also an important part. Conklin (1995,80-82) mentions that the male nari praxi were responsible for making the ritual fire and the roasting rack, for the dismembering the body with a bamboo arrow tip, and for the removal of the internal organs. They wrapped the heart and liver in leaves and roasted them. Body parts such as nails, hair, and genitals were thrown to the fire since they were considered inedible. The head was cut to remove the brain and the legs and arms were cut at the joints and cooked on the roasting pit. The nari praxi were also the ones responsible for eating the corpse. The iri’nari were not allowed to eat the corpse since they had the same blood and it would be considered autocannibalism.

During the lab on Tuesday this week, we learned how to feed Cordylophora. We also observed the feeding habits of the Cordylophora carefully. While observing the feeding, I focused on one particular hydranth with 18 tentacles that captured and ingested 8 Artemia. Meanwhile, a hydranth of similar size with 15 tentacles caught no brine shrimp, even though many passed by it within reach. This lead to the question of why some hydranths feed while others do not. I would like to determine if there is a specific reason as to why some hydranths fed and others did not. Does the relative size of the hydranths cause different feeding habits? Do hydranths rotate which ones feed in a logical manner or is it entirely random?
