People often hate when things are taken from them. For instance, when one is young, their parents might punish them by taking away their TV privileges for a week. This would mean that they would be forced to find a new source of entertainment or fun. Humans often attempt to adapt to the absence of their things by finding something to distract them. Another example of how humans have to adapt is when one may lose a job. Unemployment can lead to issues such as struggle to support a family. The unemployed will be forced to find new means of work and adapt to these new tasks and professional environments. For the Central and South American mammal, the kinkajou, it is a different story. What is being taken away from them is their homes. When they …show more content…
Kinkajous, though not an endangered species, are among the multitude of mammals being affected by deforestation. Kinkajous are still considered on the decline due to loss of habitat. The kinkajou lives in the trees and strongly depends on them. The kinkajou was intelligently designed to have prehensile tails which can be used, in a way, as a fifth hand. Their tails can wrap around branches, help them gather food, and maneuver through the trees. Though, when the trees in which they depend are cut down, where will the kinkajou live? Like humans do when they lose something that is theirs, they are forced to adapt. Kinkajous lose their homes, not to mention some of their families die in the process, and the kinkajou is forced to mass exodus to new habitats. Entering new territory can be dangerous for small creatures like these. Kinkajous are prey to many other mammals such as jaguars, foxes, ocelots and of course, various birds of prey. While seeking new homes and lacking shelter, kinkajous can be overwhelmingly vulnerable to attacks by these predators. They find themselves struggling to discover new food sources. Coming into new territory can also be hard for kinkajous due to conflict with the incumbent species living in the
The Jennings prairie is one of the few places in Pennsylvania where the Massasauga Rattlesnake is found. The massasauga is endangered in Pennsylvania and is strictly protected.

Cahokia was a large, complex settlement built by Native Americans that lived along the Mississippi River in about 950 C.E. near present-day St. Louis and East St. Louis, Illinois. At the city’s peak at around 1150 C.E., nearly ten thousand citizens lived on more than five square miles of 120 earthen “mounds.” At the time, Cahokia was the third-largest city in the Americas, and it contained multiple residential neighborhoods, plazas, and religious sites. Scientists and historians widely agreed that corn had been cultivated in this region since as early as the year 1000 C.E. At the location of the ancient city, archaeologists discovered corn fragments, such as kernels and cobs, in sites that were dated to the year 1000 C.E. and earlier. Several
Starting in AD 800 and hitting its peak from 1050- 1200 AD, Cahokia covered six square miles with a population between 10,000 and 20,000 people (Jarus 1). During their 500 years, the Cahokians developed America’s first city and arguably the greatest civilization of its time, and then seemingly disappeared without a trace. But, despite Cahokia’s disappearance, a significant amount of history was left behind through earthen mounds, evolved social structures, advanced cultural practices, and Cahokia’s unexplained demise.
The Cahokia Mounds is the largest mountain in north america. The Cahokia mountain have very good resources. That provided good water for the human and animal that live their. It had different types of habitats that allow humans to live their over time. The human migrated about 12,000 years ago in that area. This humans that live their over time start to growing crops like sunflowers, corn, and other plants. The human hunted fish and other wild animals for food. Their biggest success for the Cahokia people was agriculture, because they could grow enough food for their people. That is why the Cahokia mounds became more populated overtime. The Cahokia people could trapped the crops with other tribes for tools, clothes, food, and other things that
For fifty years, the first generation of English settlers and Native American Indians maintained peace with one another using a peace treaty agreement between Chief Massasoit of the Pokanokets and the English settlers. Moreover, the Natives and the English treated each other with respect and traded with one another. Thus, if either the English or the Native American Indians went against the terms of the treaty or disrespected each other in any way, the peaceful relationship would cease. However, as the second generation of English people emerge, the terms of peace became forgotten, and the English began to disrespect the Pokanokets. The breakdown of relations between the Native American Indians and the English Settlers was caused by the failure
The Cahokia lived in temples and teepees. I know teepees were a common place to live in back then, but I never knew that people could live in a temple. I thought temples were a place where people did religious things like praying. I feel like I’ve heard of the Cahokia people, but I know nothing about them. It was interesting that their dictator who they called “The Great Sun” would howl at the top of the temple every morning to determine whether it was morning or not. I wonder why the sun meant so much to them. They had a sun god and invented poles that aligned with the sun at the equinox and solstice.
12 days have gone by from the start of free agency and Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned. Spike Lee believes the fact that Kaepernick, who has played for the 49ers since 2011, is unsigned "smells mad fishy." There are more than a few people who believe Kaepernick’s lack of a contract is a grand NFL conspiracy and Kaepernick is being blackballed for his National Anthem protests last season. Any front-office conversation about Kaepernick must to begin with his poor play, he also showed some flashes of the player he once was last year, but nowhere near enough to override all the bad film he’s amassed in the last two seasons.
Each year, the FBI provides research on law enforcement officers that have been killed or assaulted; many people know this as LEOKA. The goal of this data is to provide people with information through the UCR (uniform crime report) about law enforcement officers who have been feloniously and accidently killed, and also officers who have been assaulted in the line of duty. The uniform crime report presents this information through overviews and statistics about each of the victims, where they come from (the state they resided in), and also when and how they were killed. Throughout the years this has become an effective way to research and learn about this topic and understand why it is important to know about. Throughout this paper I am going to find patterns through different regions and states in the United States under all three of the topics LEOKA focuses on and find similarities and
Forward helix earrings are used in the cartilage of the ear. Normally, they grow smaller as they progress from the fold of the ear towards the interior. They can range from 14 to 16 gauge depending on whether you want them to stretch. Before changing out the original piercing studs, make sure you've waited enough time for the piercings to heal adequately.
Kentucky became a state in 1792 as the 15th state, also becoming the first U.S. state west of the Appalachian Mountains. Kentucky University’s colors are white and blue. Explorer Daniel Boone was one of Kentucky’s most important explorers and many immigrants followed the trail he traveled through the Cumberland Gap, also known as the Wilderness Road. Although it went with the Confederacy during the Civil War, the population was deeply divided, and many Kentucky residents fought for the North. Mostly known as an agricultural area into the 20th century, Kentucky is also a major U.S. coal producer and site of the U.S. military bases Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. It is also known as the home of the legendary Kentucky Derby horse race and bluegrass
When Thomas Kinkade was not painting, he would ride his Harley Davidson around Los Gatos and befriend the homeless population. Thomas Kinkade recognized his talent at a very young age. He sometimes would have to sell paintings on the street to help his struggling family. Thomas Kinkade used his artistic abilities to survive a rough childhood. His drive to bring joy, peace, and light to others is very clear in his career and artwork.

I chose the city of Kankakee, Illinois not only because I was born and raised here, but because I believe that there is so much potential for change here. Kankakee is a 100% urban city in Illinois and is located 45 minutes from the south side of Chicago. Kankakee has been known to some as a very southern suburb, but it is not. Kankakee is a part of a tri-city area and is not included in the southern suburbs of Chicago. I heard a recording of Jay Leno saying that Kankakee is one of the worst places to live years ago and that lit the fire in me to return and see great things happen here. Kankakee is often talked about in a negative way from the residents and those who visit the area, but I see the potential of this city in its people.
The Maasai are a pastoralist tribe living in Kenya and Northern Tanzania. Much of their land falls within the Great Rift Valley. The main source of their livelihood remains livestock, consisting of cattle, sheep, and goats. Traditionally, Maasai do not feed on game meat as this is associated with the hunters-gathers (Dorobo people). They have relied on their livestock, mainly cows, for most of their nutritional needs. Milk, meat, and blood constitute the basic components of the Maasai diet.
