Sheepdogs Sheep dogs are intelligent animals. In 2005 the penguins population in Middle Island, Australia went from 800 penguins to less than 10 penguins. These creates a very big loss for people. They wanted to fix the problem from the foxes. They were imported into Australia and they soon realized that the foxes were the decline in penguins. The issue then became the need to increase and maintain the penguin population on the island. Since the foxes were imported for sport hunting on the mainland, penguins were massacred, and fear was the same would happen on middle island along came Swampy Marsh. Swampy Marsh was a chicken farmer. He sometimes stayed up all night to scare away the foxes, so they won’t kill his chickens. One night while
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.

In the story birds attacked when the tide came in and in the film the birds attack at different times, over and over.
In the mid 1800’s, Australia was growing fast with explorers and settlers wanting to explore the country and create new towns. However, a major hurdle was transport. There were no railways in the undiscovered parts of the country and horseback was not an option. From the 1860’s, Australia found the answer, Afghan cameleers. Although not all the cameleers were from Afghanistan, they were grouped together. The cameleers came from four ethnic groups, Pashtun, Punjabi, Baluchi, and Sindhi. The cameleers had high experience and knowledge with camels and were often employed in Australia with three year contracts. The cameleers would have to leave behind their wives and families. If they were single, it was common for them to marry Aboriginal women but very uncommon to marry the European women.
Australian people and culture are often stereotyped in the media in different forms, one of them being film. The two films being examined, ‘Red dog’ (2011) and the ‘Sapphires’ (2012), are an example of the Australian identity but from different points of view. ‘Red dog’ shows the kind and positive side which exemplifies mateship and loyalty. The film ‘Sapphires’ ,which takes place in the 1950’s through to the 1960’s, shows a negative and racist view towards the indigenous people. Both the films show different aspects of the Australian identity, not all insights of the films accurately represent contemporary Australian identity as the Australian identity has changed by the evolution of people and their lifestyle.
This essay is a comparison between the short story, “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier, published in 1952, and the 1963 film, The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. The story, in brief, was about a man named Nat, and his family. They lived on a farm and had to protect themselves in their house when the bird population spontaneously attacks. Although du Maurier’s story and Hitchcock’s film portray the same major conflict and theme, the other major story elements are very different.
I have discovered the Graffiti writer Royal Dog real name; Chris Chanyang Shim came from Korea, which I find he produces meaningful projects. While he was growing up, since 2nd grade he liked drawing. Around 4th grade he learn Hip-Hop through a copy of ‘Hip Hop’, a manga that introduced him to b-boys and graffiti. He had an admiration for the culture. He was attending an art school and focused on drawing and animation at school until one day, he just started doing graffiti. At the time, graffiti was on the cultural radar and he wanted to represent a part of Hip Hop culture. Years latter Shim decided to travel across the US to search for new free space and atmosphere to paint. At his first stop in Bronx, New York, he painted his three favorite rappers, Jay-Z, T.I., and Big Pun. People reacted to the mural with enthusiasm, and Shim was soon invited to California to display his artwork further.
The “wolves, sheep, and sheepdog” analogy in the American Sniper scene is a good expression of the warrior ethos because it closely resembles the youth warrior archetype and contains a few principles of the Just War Doctrine as well as gives an implication on what a warrior might value and protect when he finds himself in any kind of conflict in his life. However, the warrior ethos can also differ throughout different cultures in the world, so whether or not this analogy is a good expression entirely depends on each individual and how they would perceive the warrior ethos.
The Australian Shepherd is a medium sized dog. The nicknames for the Australian Shepherd are; Aussie and Little blue dog.
I can only imagine how bewildered Prendick must have been when he saw these perplexing beasts as he wondered the island. . I would be horrified as the narrator was if I had ever laid eyes on what was described

The people that own the Florida’s Everglades National park hired scientists to track the snakes and trap them and the commissioner of Florida also asks people if they see a python to report it immediately. The Florida fish and Wildlife commission also began the python challenge. The python challenge is a competition to find the biggest python and if you do find the biggest python you receive a price. In Texas the wild pig is hunted down by hunters and it is killed year round. When they are captured or killed they are sold to restaurants to be cooked and considered exotic meat. If it wasn’t for a local farmer named Marsh the sheepdog idea never would have been a solution. Marsh is a chicken farmer and since he is a chicken farmer he has to stay up all night so the foxes will not come and eat them. While Marsh was doing his job keeping the foxes away, he heard a dog barking. He had realized it was a sheepdog barking at the foxes. So one day Marsh got a sheepdog and named him Ben. Ben did a great job protecting the chickens and when Marsh heard the news of the penguins he suggested using sheepdogs to patrol and guard the penguins. In 2006 the first sheepdog was put to the test, when the puppy patrol started up the population rebounded to around 150. Ever since the first sheepdog came no fox has touched one of those foxes.
The Brown Bar-ba-loots were bear-like animals whose source of food came from the Truffula Trees, they spent all day relaxing in the shade of the trees and eating the Truffula fruits. There were also the Swomee Swans, a bird species that once inhabited the Truffula Tree forest. Lastly, there were the Humming Fish who inhabited the once clean and fresh pond. The Humming Fish, as inferred by their name, like to hum, and when they did it made the land seem even more peaceful and enjoyable. Aside from just animal life, the forest also included ponds, trees, and green grass. On Easter Island however, there were no Brown Bar-ba-loots, Swomee Swans, Humming-Fish, or Truffula Trees. Easter Island was instead made up of hauhau trees, toromiro trees, grasses, fish, porpoises, chickens, rats, and various types of seabirds. Both societies were similar in the fact that they had a great number of animal species and trees at one time, but also differ because they had different types of animals, the Lorax had mammals, fish, and birds, while Easter Island was mainly made up of birds and
An ancient clan of pelican dwelling in Seacliffe Bay was threatened by a rival species, refugees from the Vast Boil. Seacliffe was one of the few territories left untouched from the seemingly supernatural phenomenon. Water all over the world suddenly heated up to scathing temperatures, killing most marine life and driving others to starvation. A species of crab (Direcrab) escaped to Seacliffe in search of a chance to survive. This very species was battling the bay’s native inhabitants for resources, as the land could not support them all. The native clan consisted of pelicans, some white-necked and others brown-headed, all coexisting peacefully. The white-necks had such unwieldy heads from their large beaks that they were rendered practically flightless from the sheer weight and could only glide for about five minutes. The
