Should The Komodo Dragon Be Outlawed

Pollution has become a serious political issue. Humans that live among nature prevent damaging effects like pollution from occurring because nature is their habitat that they want to protect. This simple difference in lifestyle and in attitude already majorly distinguishes the two groups of humans. Ego is not the only factor in destruction, however. The lack of awareness about the consequences of destruction of nature causes destruction of nature. Well-known consequences like pollution exist, but there are some that are not as obvious. In the Indian fable “Numskull and Rabbit ”, the forest creatures describe how the lion’s murderous nature is not only ending lives, but is also preventing the birth of future lives as a result. An example of this mass destruction is evident in the second image from the movie, where cages full of jailed chickens that are hoarded like they are just objects are about to become poultry for human sustenance . Core principles of evolution state that reproduction of a species is imperative to their survival. If a species has a reduction in population, then the food chain becomes unbalanced, which can impact many species negatively. Humans who live among nature are more aware of their environment and how it impacts their lifestyles, so they are more careful in making sure that they do not injure its natural order. The destruction of nature is caused by simple

More than a million different kinds of animals inhabit the earth. The exact number is not known, for new kinds are continually being discovered. They live in the seas, from the surfaces down to the black depths where no ray of sunlight penetrates. Animals can be domesticated or left in the wild where they truly belong. However, as time passed by, nowadays, animals are endlessly being exploited and fought for around the globe. Different opinions from different countries and races have divided to defend to defend their views and make a stand. This issue about the animals’ welfare should be taken more seriously until we find the right answers.

As an unknown author once said, running away from the problem only increases the distance from the solution. The easiest way to escape from the problem is to solve it. Cimorene from the book “Dealing with Dragons,” a fantasy by Patricia Wrede did just that; she solved her own problem. Cimorene was just an ordinary princess when she decided that she wanted to reject the expected social norms. Her family expected her to marry Prince Therandil, but she was reluctant and did not want to marry him because “he has no sense of humor, he isn’t intelligent, he can’t talk about anything except tourneys, and half of what he does say he gets wrong.” (page 6) When she says this, her parents are flustered. She tries her best to seem apologetic, but

Panamanian golden frogs, the American mastodon, Neanderthals, coral reefs, and auks -- what do they have in common? They are all mentioned in Elizabeth Kolbert’s award-winning book, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History. In The Sixth Extinction, Kolbert relates the findings of her investigations into several extinctions recently reported, connecting them to several human activities such as habitat fragmentation and introducing nonnative and invasive species, while also giving the readers various history lessons. She tells about her adventures in Panama saving endangered frogs, visiting the island of the last two great auks known to man in Iceland, and even examining the fossilized teeth of an American mastodon in the French National Museum of Natural History.

The New Caledonian Crested Gecko is one of the most sought out reptiles in the herptoculture hobby today. This medium-sized gecko has all the qualities of what to expect of a pet lizard. They combine their sheer beauty and low maintenance and docile tempers, making it an all around great pet to own (Rhacodactylus, p. 16).

From the beginning of human civilization to the present wild animals have caused issues in ecotones. An ecotone is the place where two different types of communities meet. In this paper, I will be talking about the ecotones of human civilization and wildlife. People that hike and bike trails in Durango, Colorado often run into animals that are not afraid of people. In this essay the topics that will be discussed that relate to human and wildlife relationships in an ecotone are, the history of human-wild animal interaction, problems associated with this interaction, and issues with wild animals in ecotones.

Dragons in and throughout China, as well as most places in Asia are know as

Animal extinction is big a threat to some animal species. According to the text “ The Impact of Animal Protection”, many nature parks have supervised breeding programs that allow numbers to increase. Many people think that animals should be able to repopulate by themselves. Keeping animals protected has proven to be beneficial and increase the populations of endangered animals. According to the text “The Impact of Animal Protection” these programs have helped bring several animals - black footed

Animal hunting is not only inhumane but can also lead to the extinction of many species. In the essay “Our Animal Rites”, Quindlen asserts that it is “pathetic to consider the firepower” the hunters use in order to “bring down one fair-sized deer” (33). In this quote, she explains that the use of firepower by human to kill innocent animals is unfair and heartrending. Furthermore, Quindlen describes that even though the bears are killed by the “smiling” and triumphant hunters after the “three bear days in the autumn,” the bears look “more dignified than they do” (33). This suggests that hunting animals is not entertaining but rather unacceptable and disgraceful. Furthermore, many species can become extinct due to excessive hunting. In an ecology class, I learned that the extinction rate of species each year is approximately two hundred to two thousand each year. This is an extremely high and alerting rate since there is only around two million species that has been scientifically identified on the planet. In these examples, it can be concluded that the hunting of innocent animals is atrocious and

Komodo Dragons are the largest species of lizards in the entire world, the biggest ones weighing three-hundred to three-hundred and ninety pounds with a length of eight to ten feet long. They are muscular with thick tails and long claws on their broad feet. An average Komodo Dragon will have four to five sets of sixty curved and serrated teeth in its lifetime. A Dragon’s eye sight and smell is so good that they can detect a rotting carcass from miles away! Komodos can even swim well due to their muscular tails.
