An ecosystem contain biological communities and abiotic factors that interact with each other. However, Introduced pest species in Australia have always been a major issue due to the unique ecosystems that have developed, undisturbed over millions of years, due to Australia's geographical isolation. This is especially evident in the introduction the European red fox in Australia, which has prompt negative changes to the population of the Long-nosed Bandicoot due to the predation by these foxes in the Field of mars and around Australia. The disruption the fox foxes have on the Long-nosed bandicoot can also result in sever cascading effects on the rest of the ecosystem, including abiotic factors like the soil and biotic factors like other native flora and fauna

The American Flamingo is a large species of Flamingo closely related to the greater Flamingo and Chilean Flamingo. The flamingo is apart of the bird family which mean it lays eggs to give birth to another flamingo. American Flamingos take about three years to get their pink and red feathers. In the wild Flamingos spend most of the day feeding, preening, resting, and bathing. Their young feathers are much less structed and fluffy than adult plumage.

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)

Many people never understand the importance of team sports and activities until they have been a part of one. Being involved in a team demonstrates personal strengths can be used to grow as a team. Being a part of my soccer team, Fox Run, for seven years of my life truly changed every person on the team. Even though our team has split apart due to seniors graduating, the lessons we learned will continue to last forever. From fourth grade to eleventh, the sport through Fox Run has shown me to respect others, create lasting friendships, and persevere through the wins and losses.

Species often face multiple threats. We considered the relative impact of three major threats on populations of the San Joaquin kit fox. This species was once widely distributed across the southern San Joaquin Valley, but agriculture and development have replaced much of the now endangered subspecies’ habitat. We modeled impacts of climate change, land-use change, and rodenticide exposure on kit fox populations using a spatially explicit, individual-based population model. Our study indicates that landuse change will have the biggest impact on kit fox populations, with the potential to decrease populations by approximately 9% under a compact growth scenario or 15% under a business-as-usual scenario. 55% of the best kit fox habitat also has

The animal I was given for this assignment was the Channel Island Fox. They are considered to be near extinction animals with nearly about 2,500 fox left (last checked 2008). The Channel Island Fox is a type of fox that only lives on the Channel Islands, which is located around the coast of Southern California in about 19 to 61 miles away from the continental state. On a clear day in California, many visitors have the chance to see the islands over the shores. Within the eight islands, only six of the islands have the Channel Island Fox on their land. The six islands are San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Santa Catalina, San Nicolas and San Clemente. Each island has different features which has given each island fox a different trait compared to each one, but they are still considered as Island Fox.

Kit foxes, also called Vulpes Macrotis are among the smallest foxes in America. The kit fox is very easily mistaken for a dog however when you look at their appearance you realize that proportions are not that of a dog's. Many people often confuse the kit fox with its larger cousin, the grey desert fox.

In the book Foxcatcher, I could not help comparing Mark Schulz and me in terms of wrestling. I was a pretty good wrestler, but Mark Schultz became one of the best wrestlers of all time. He started his career later than me, he took losses harder than me, and he wrestled a different style compared to me.

The island fox is a small fox that is native to six of the eight Channel Islands of California. There are six subspecies of this fox, each unique to the island it lives on, reflecting its evolutionary history. They have many different names including, but not limited to, coast fox, island gray fox, Channel Islands fox, Channel Islands gray fox, and insular gray

The Four Chaplains are four United States Army chaplains who gave their lives to save other civilian and military personnel as the ship SS Dorchester sank on February 3, 1943, during World War II. The four men name's are George Fox, Alexander Goode, Clark Poling, John Washington. They were significant because they would help keep the other men close to God.

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.

During the 1930s, there were three Triple Crown winners. The first winner was Gallant Fox. In 1930, at three years old, Gallant Fox won the U.S. Triple Crown. Gallant Fox was a large bay horse with a white blaze, four white coronets, and a wall eye. He was sired by Sir Gallahad III and his dam was Marguerite. Gallant Fox was foaled in Paris, Kentucky at Bull Hancock’s Claiborne Farm on March 23, 1927. His owner was William Woodward Sr. Gallant Fox had a very short racing career. He was only raced from 1929-1930. He won eleven out of seventeen races that he started in. Gallant Fox was trained by “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons realized that Gallant Fox worked best with other horses, so he used relays to train him because no other horses

but they terrorized the British Army in South Carolina and Georgia with a series of hit and run raids in the face of overwhelming odds. Marion and his men would strike swiftly and then vanish into the swamps. His tactics were so effective that he was nicknamed “The Swamp Fox” by one very frustrated British general.
