In the 53 photos that I identified for Snapshot Serengeti I saw: 2 photos with giraffes, 8 photos with wildebeest, 4 photos with impalas, 1 photo with Thompson’s gazelles, 4 photos with Zebras, 2 photos with reedbucks, 1 photo with elephants, 4 photos with buffalo, and 27 no animals present. The last photo that came up for me to identify was very interesting, I have it saved so that I can share it with the class to see if you can help me identify what is in the picture! In a lot of the pictures that I classified, there were different species of herbivores grazing at the same time. Using these pictures could possibly help the researchers to identify how they coexist in the Serengeti. Also, they can see which animals mingle with others and which do not. In all of the pictures that I classified, zebras and wildebeest were the only two species that I saw mingling. Most of the other species were in herds of the same classification. The photos could also help to determine population change among a species. If over the course of the study they are used …show more content…
A pro of these infrared camera traps specifically, is that they are virtually undetectable to the animals since they do not have a flash. These camera traps are also always on, collecting data both day and night. The researchers do not have to be anywhere near the animals, or the camera for the data to be collected. This allows for minimal interference from humans. In addition, the photos collected by these researchers can be shared and examined multiple times. This helps to prevent human error while counting animals in the field. One con of the camera traps however, is that if anything causes the camera to malfunction lots of data could be lost. The researchers don’t check the cameras every day I am sure, so if the camera stops working they could have little to no data when they do come back to check

The Hodenosaunee is known to have a supreme executive, legislative and judicial authority in which is vested in fifty great Sachems. “The five units do not enjoy equal representation on the council. The Seneca’s, for instance, have only eight sachems, while the Oneidas have fourteen. But this inequality matters little in view of the requirement of unanimity”(cite). The primary purpose of the council is to “maintain internal peace and order” however, the council also conducts foreign relations proclaiming such as declaring war, making treaties, and entertaining embassies. The council assembles once a year in Onondaga for a regular session, but can meet emergency session whenever a public emergency arise. The council provides anybody to bring

Until three years ago, in 2013 when he moved in with his uncle, Rick Lien, who was able to turn him from a scanty student to a straight A student over the course of two months changed his life forever.

Hello, my name is Mariko Makishi. I am a second year student in Linn Benton Community College.
In the second chapter of this dissertation it will focus on the work of Manchester born and black artist Chris Ofili. Most known for his experimentation with elephant dung, Ofili communicates a humorous and rather stereotypical reaction to how an African man ‘should’ be painting, “You don’t exist, unless you start to build yourself up, and start to work” (Ofili 2010). There was much comment about Ofili becoming the first black contemporary artist whose name and work was known to a wider British public.
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.
