Summary Of Chapter 11 Of The Sixth Extinction By Elizabeth Korbert

About an hour later, the staff gains control over the stampede of rhinos. Teddy does a count of the rhinos and notice that one is missing. He notices immediately that it was Rhonda the rhino, that was missing. Every employee took alert of this because Rhonda was pregnant. Teddy knows that he will be a hero to FunJungle if he finds Rhonda. He also has to be careful to not get shot by the hunter who is in range. He will never give up to find his favorite animal. Teddy knows that he will find Rhonda, but it will be an extraordinary case.

Recently, DNA testing has been employed to create a genetic database of endangered animal species. Using this information, scientists have even cloned animals.

Among the diverse group of animals was a pair of giraffes. The female giraffe had grown tired of eating the same old leaves and fruits. Being strong-willed and stubborn she decided that she just had to try a fruit from the sacred tree. She convinced her husband to accompany her and to be one of the first ones

In “The Stripes Will Survive” it states “ In 1981, the American Zoo and Aquarium association (AZA) started the Species Survival Plan (SSP) to make sure that threatened and endangered species don't disappear. The members of the Tiger SSP teach the public about the plight of tigers and do research. They keep a computerized family tree of zoo tigers that helps match males and females for breeding.” This shows that the AZA is taking big steps to make sure that tigers survive and breed.

As natural resources experience an increased impact by human activities, the list of endangered species of flora and fauna expands. This highlights the importance of bringing all aspects of conservation efforts to the forefront. These efforts are often restricted by funding and logistical components and so prioritization must take place to ensure the preservation of critical populations and habitats, rather than a species in its entire historical range. It is critical to preserve genetic diversity which, in turn, allows for the preservation of the ecological and evolutionary aspects that are required for a species to continue to exist.

The National Wildlife Institute has published “Conservation Under the Endangered Species Act: A Promise Broken”. Their critique of the Act includes questioning the programs undertaken as a result of the Act have played sufficient roles in the recovery of species that were delisted, as well as questioning the allocation of funding to programs intended to aid listed species.

One day Siberias decided to make more animals for Africa. She had created gemsboks, antelope, cows, wildebeests, and other horse like creatures. She even decided to create some sea creatures for her lakes. Siberias’ most proved new animals were her zebras, giraffes, and pufferfish. Siberias decreed that the tigers and other big cats were allowed to eat any animal they wanted except for her new most prised possessions. If they did, there would be terrible consequences.

National Geographic is a society that works toward educating people about the planet. They are known as a nonprofit scientific and educational institution. In addition, they like to focus on different areas that are related to plant. This source gives the thoughts of what other animal ethicists and wildlife managers are considering about killing the wildlife. Also, they explained where they went to get their information about this controversy over culling. National Geographic doesn’t specifically explain what they would do about this controversy but, they do explain what other discourse communities would do. They are reliable for revealing the information of what other discourse communities would do about this controversy. This will help give

Transformers 4 : Age of Extinction is a motion picture about robots that turn into dinosaurs and a weapon that makes people explode, freeze and burst into flames all at the same time. Released in June 24th, 2014, this science fiction adventure is the sequel to the box office hit, Transformers (2007), Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen, and Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. All tells about robots (Autobots) who try to protect the Earth from antagonist robots Decepticon (Megatron).

From this podcast, many ideas, experiences, and questions were expressed. The podcast was arranged in an almost story format, which made it interesting to listen to and aided in its understanding. The central topic of this was the Galapagos islands, a group of large and small islands that are largely unique to the rest of the world and is revered by scientists. Since the islands themselves and the diverse flora/ fauna that live there are very unique, they cause great issues yet great discoveries that were discussed in the podcast. Surprisingly, there was more issues related to islands like the tortoises, finches, goats, and political disagreements. The islands had the absolute worst of human intervention.We are the ones who introduced goats

Through out the past couple of week, my group has been learning a lot about Black Rhinos. The reason why we choose to about our paper on Black Rhino was because we wanted to learn more about them. We thought that learning about an animal that has been on the planet for so many years, it would be interesting to see what issues that they are being faced with and what it happening to them. We have heard about rhino as when were kids, and throughout this assignment we able to learn what we wanted to know as children. We wanted to know why more about why Black Rhino were critically endangered and what moments in history that many there status drop. After, the Cecil the Lion incident we wonder if there were more animals that we being killed for the purpose of trophy hunting or poaching. The Black Rhino project was

Nick’s biology teacher, Ms. Starch, goes missing. She hasn’t been at school for several days, and Nick and Marta are concerned. To investigate, Nick and Marta go to her house and find a strange collection of endangered stuffed animals. The stuffed animals had a variety of species. “ They’re all endangered species, that’s a panther cub, that’s a shortnose sturgeon…” Nick discovered as they entered her house. This proves that Ms. Starch was into nature and saving endangered animals. Marta also described it as the zoo for the dead which is saying that there were a lot if them. Clearly, Mrs. Starch is also into protecting the

According to Ms.Anderson, “The koalas prefer to live in the trees, also their food is up in the trees, but if humans keep on chopping the trees down the koala will not have any food to eat on the ground.” The humans should move any of the goats that are by the koalas habitat to a different area. Another reason why the animal should be saved is, the koala is popular, according to the text it states,

1. From reading this summary of tiger ecology, what aspects of the tiger’s environment need to be recreated in a zoo environment?

8). Mr. Patel uses his zoo-keeping abilities and knowledge of animal behavior to demonstrate to Ravi and Pi what dangers there are within a zoo by starving a tiger for three days and feeding it a live goat, which it then tears to shreds. He shows his children that things are not as they seem, in this case, something cute and cuddly being ferocious and life threatening. The feminist theory can be applied because the tiger was given all male attributes and not one female attribute. Also, it was the male [father's] job to teach the children harsh lessons, where as the mother comes to their aid and comforts them.
