Grand Oud: Why Do Chameleons Ear?

Robin Hood was adventuring in Sherwood Forest seeking a great animal kill. It wasn't for the thrill of a hunt but rather the pride of presenting a grand beast for the guest attending his wedding banquet. Robin Hood was hoping, nay, expecting to present an elk or at least a bore to his guest. In the corner of his eye, Robin Hood noticed something strange moving in the distance. Thinking it was a bear, Robin Hood slowly and soundlessly creeps to get a better view of the creature. Robin hood was close, perhaps too close because when he got a full view of the creature and whispered excitement under his breath, the creature spun around to look Robin hood straight in the eyes.

The diction which is emphasized upon the story gives a clear picture of how everything happened in a sudden and fulfilling way. The man noticed that the snake “lay rigid” and had “suddenly arrested” and eventually watched him in calm watchfulness. The snake was placid and was not doing any violent action. The man, instead, decided to fulfill his duty concerning the community. The man describes seeing the snake as he looked like a “live wire” while his “tocsin sounded”. The man’s sudden encounter with the snake was still calm up until he decides to bring out the hoe.

Since Old Dan and Little Ann had always done everything together, Little Ann was so sadden that she stopped eating and became weak. As she was dying, she drug herself all the way out to Old Dan's grave and died beside his grave. Billy buried her beside Old Dan. With the competition money, Billy's father and mother had enough money to move to town, so they did. Before leaving, Billy visited Old Dan and Little Ann's grave once more.

Luckily there was plenty of water from a nearby stream. The worst part was the bugs, crawling on them during the night, and still in the day. After a long day of walking, the night had come, and then the sounds of ferocious beasts started up again. I closed my eyes. It felt like it had been seconds since I fell asleep, when I heard a horrible scream coming from Leo there was a snake of some kind wrapped around him, the others and I went over and pulled out knives out and immediately pierced the snake killing it. We pulled it’s dead body off Leo and checked him if he was hurt, but fornchanitly he was fine. Later that night we decided to skin and cock the snake, to get as much food as we could in our stomachs. I woke up the next morning, and I was surrounded by strange figures, then I remembered about when one of the pilots told us about the native villagers that lived in the jungle. It happened they took us one by one, they dragged us to there camp, I looked around to see hordes of villagers staring at us. “Let us go! Said Dakota, then one of the villagers said “oo nag”, and whacked Dakota in the chest with a stick, they threw us in some kind of old dusty looking cage, that had animal bones in it. The villagers started up a fire, and started dancing and singing strange songs. A strange looking villager

He was coming up the street to a light when there was another snake on the road But, he had just overcome this fear. He mashed the gas and at the last moment he swerved. An Audi R8 sped right over it busting it brains open. Phil hit the brakes and straightened up. He went towards the red light and stopped. He drove up on the side the R8, and he couldn't believe. It was his parents. He thought to himself, wow God really works miracles. He waved and smiled and they returned the wave and the smile. Oh and another note, the season was

The next day he spent the hole day walking up the mountain. The next day he spent half of the day walking up the mountain, when he reached the top he decided that he would get for the other half day and get a good nights rest. He woke up during the night and found one hundred rattlesnakes on and around him close by his fire staying warm for the night. Ajax killed all of the snakes and went back to sleep. In the morning, he woke up and walked over to the one hundred foot tall door. He looked at the lock, put the key in, turned it, and opened it. He walked in and the room was about four hundred feet long, two hundred feet wide, and one hundred feet tall, and it was full of gold jewelry and pirate coins. He was thinking that everyone that had been in there before had to have just barged in, so he quietly snuck in and climbed up the door and walked on the beams on the roof watching down on the floor looking for the golden jaguar. After about an hour looking for the golden jaguar, Ajax saw him sleeping on top of the tallest mountain of gold. Ajax jumped off of the roof beams and and missed the top of the mountain, when he walked to the top the golden jaguar wasn't there! Ajax got his mallet out and ready and walked around the room for hours without any sign of the golden jaguar. Ajax started thinking, if he could walk on top of the roof so could the jaguar. He climbed up to the beams on the roof again

Their were fairly young for their age but in respectful terms. They ran away from home to go camping together, when they were setting up camp Susie started talking about a legend.

Susie spoke in a creepy voice, the others were a little frightened but they didn't show it. "Susie! Stop telling us such ridiculous carrot tales! We know of the legend already but your just trying make it real!"

The objective of this research is to investigate diversification rate shifts to see if there was a higher speciation rate in chameleons once they dispersed from Africa to Madagascar. My phylogenetic tree was built from 6-genes, multiple nuclear and mitochondrial markers and 174 taxa, it represents over eighty-three percent chameleon species. Using three different reconstruction methods, Bayesian and likelihood approaches it was seen that the family originated in Africa, with two separate oceanic dispersals to Madagascar. I will be using BAMM software to test diversification rates to see if there was colonization from Africa to Madagascar. There are three Malagasy genera found on the phylogeny

Evolution can be supported using Vestigial Features. Vestigial Features are remnants of organs or structures that had function in an early ancestor. Organisms have structures that seem to lack any useful function. Like snakes, they have tiny pelvic bones and stumplike limbs even though they cant even walk. They have these functions because of Vestigial Features. They bring down parts of there ancestor and puts it into there body for them to use.

Characterization of Main Character - Middle - Chameleon A chameleon is an animal that changes colors to protect themselves from predators. This allows them to blend in with other objects. Wargrave is like this in the middle of the book. The cause of this change is
