There are many unique types of animals in the Blackland Prairie; here are a few examples of animals in the Blackland Prairie. One example of one of these animals is the nine-banded armadillo. The nine-banded armadillo is a large, short and brown armadillo with a long tail and nine lines on its shell (therefore its name). They typically eat grubs, insects, berries, and eggs. This scaly critter lives in most of Texas besides the west, they typically live in woods, brush, grasslands and forests. Another one of the many examples of animals in this diverse ecoregion is the black-tailed prairie dog. These chubby, stubby, brown, and furry balls of cuteness live along the border of Mexico. It lives in dry, flat, sparsely vegetated grasslands. These rodents like to consume things like plants, insects, seeds, and grasses. These items make up most of their diet. They are habitat modifiers just like beavers, they build burrows underground close to each other. These are called towns.

They exhibit a polygynous mating system, which means they have one-male and multi-female groups. The male’s large home ranges envelop the home ranges of several females. The males will mate with all the females in their home range and even some in extending home ranges. Females will also mate with members of different home ranges. The two remain together for several days while mating and will copulate several times in that period. Litters are usually fathered by one male, and the males will defend and mark their territory while mating. Females will mate every other year from May to August. They will stay in heat from June to August, and most mating will occur in June or July. Most interestingly females display a delayed implantation where the embryo is not implanted immediately at copulation but actually waits in diapause for about six months. Fertilized eggs develop to the blastocyst and will remain there until implantation to the uterine wall which typically occurs in the months from December to February. This means pregnancy may last anywhere from 120 to 272 days. Which will depend on when the embryo is fertilized and when it is implanted. Parturition is perfectly timed for the optimum survival of their young, which is usually when the most food is available. Females build snow-dens to birth and nurse their young. They typically have two dens, a natal den for giving birth and then when this den is

Every culture has their own unique and distinguishing characteristics. One’s cultural identity defines who they are as an individual, group, and community. Their cultural identity may be reflected in numerous ways such as: language, communication styles, religion, beliefs, values, clothing, or other types of aesthetic markers. Cultural identity is formed by many of these traits but is not limited to these specifically. This essay will provide detailed information on Mexican Americans, and their ancestry and heritage. I will also explain about this cultures central beliefs and values, while incorporating information on Mexican Americans, cultural patterns, cultural identity, and their cultures communication characteristics and styles.

many of the women see themselves as objects of labor. For example in the documentary

Many non-Hispanic people tend to think that all Hispanics are Mexican. Mexicans make up almost two thirds of the Hispanic population in the United States, but that does not mean that there is any shortage in diversity among Hispanics. Being Hispanic makes it easy for me to identify the differences in Latin America culture. Hispanics are one of the most racially diverse ethnic groups in the world. Hispanics are light skinned, black with afro textured hair, Indigenous, Asian, Spanish, German, and Italian.

In the peer-reviewed article Elvia R. Arriola postulates an, “Accountability for murder in the mquiladoras: Linking corporate indifference to gender violence at the U.S. Mexico border” (Arriola, 2007). Arriola describes the treatment of girls and women on the U.S. Mexican border who are employees of the maquiladora, which are a creation of corporations that move over to the U.S. Mexican borders because of the low salaries they pay to their employees due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, the United States, and Canada (1993). In fact, violence, human rights violations, and crimes against women occur more frequently regardless of corporate policies and laws. Additionally, the maquiladoras are a severe indication of Mexico’s corporate and governmental patterns of abuse, harassment, and violence against women who work in the maquiladoras that violate their human

The sirenia’s habitat is located in the warm coastal waters. In fact, manatees cannot live in water colder than 68℉. They can be found where there is an abundance of seagrass or vegetation. This species can live in either freshwater or saltwater and are usually by boating docks. They migrate to near the equator in the colder months. During the summer months, they travel as far north as Massachusetts and as far west as Louisiana and Texas. Manatees are seen in coastal

Her mother plays a huge role in her upbringing because she cheated on her father while he was sick. Although, her mom tells her to "never marry a Mexican," she intends to advise her little girl not to wed a man who experienced childhood in Mexico. Given the way of life conflict that the Mother experienced as a Mexican-American, she wishes for her little girl to wed somebody more Americanized, somebody who might offer her mo

A country rich in history, tradition and culture, Mexico is made up of 31 states and one federal district. It is the third largest country in Latin America and has one of the largest populations—more than 100 million—making it the home of more Spanish speakers than any other nation in the world. Despite the political and social changes that have occurred over the centuries, evidence of past cultures and events are apparent everywhere in Mexico. Many of Mexico’s rural areas are still inhabited by indigenous people whose lifestyles are quite similar to those of their ancestors. In addition, many pre-Columbian ruins still exist throughout Mexico, including the ancient city of Teotihuacán and the Mayan pyramids at ChichénItzá and Tulum. Reminders of the colonial past are evident in the architecture of towns like Taxco and Querétar.

Reproduction: The reproduction is dioecious, sexual, internal fertilization; viviparous. White eye orcas are polygamous, which means that they can have multiple partners in their lifetime. The maturation time of the males and females is different, for males it is 11 years, and for females it is 14 years. The females do not mate until they obtain the sexual maturity, also both sexes in order to mate, they have to be strong physically to be able to compete with other orcas. White eye orca females are able to mate several times a year, which means that the reproduction cycle is not regular. Similarly to the killer whales, white eye orcas have their own dialect, each pod has its own language, and this fact plays a huge role in the mating process, because most of them do not mate with orcas from other populations. The length of the gestation is about 12 -13 months, orcas give birth to only one offspring every time, calves are being born in the water. White eye orcas are precocial, females are significantly invested in parental duties for about a

Female Nutria have 2-3 litters every year, each having 4-5 young. These animals mature quickly and stay with their mother for only a month or two. The young are fully active when born, they are able to swim and destroy marsh within 5 days of birth.

March and February is the breading season for coyotes. In spring, females make dens to prepare for their babies. The gestation period of a female is 63 days and gives birth to groups of three to 12 young at a time. The group of coyote babies is called a litter and each coyote baby is called a pup. The size of the litter size is based on where the coyote lives. In places where there are a lot of coyotes, there will be a smaller litter size. In areas with less coyotes, the litter size will be bigger. Taking care of the pup is a job that both male and female participate in. The male will bring food to the female and the pup and help protect them from predators. Since a pup is born with there eyes shut, the female will stay in the den for her pups eyes to open. This might take 11 or 12 days.

They can live up to 15 years old but the average age is twelve. They make squeaking, chattering noises, and chipmunk like sounds. They weigh 8 to 12 pounds and the length is only 20 to 24 inches. They have small features like a cat. Their population is under 2400 and

The Galapagos tortoise lives in volcanic lowlands and shrub lands. Most of the Galapagos tortoises live in the Pacific Islands because most of their predators don’t live there. The Geochelone nigra mostly eats grass but they eat other food like fruit or cactus. They are endangered because people and their predators kill them or people ruin their habitat. The Galapagos tortoise is the biggest out of the tortoise species.

Axolotls can be found in Mexican waters, but are used as an adorable aquarium addition. Axolotls can be black, white, pink, grey and brown. They are very curious creatures, and very tame, making for good intractable pets. They eat small animals like worms and insects, and sometimes mollusks. Axolotls have an impressive litter size of around 500, making it a bad idea to have a pregnant one if you only want one or two of them. These amphibians have a small life span of around 10 years.
