Wolverine The Wolverine (Gulo gulo) is found throughout northern North America and northern Eurasia. The Wolverine is a powerful animal that resembles a small bear. These tough animals usually are solitary, and the need lots of space to roam. A Wolverine may sometimes travel around 15 miles a day in search of food. They eat a little bit of vegetarian fare, like plants and berries. They are tenacious predators with a taste for meat. They usually eat smaller animals like rabbits and rodents, but may sometimes attack animals a lot bigger than them, like caribou. Black Footed Ferret The Black Footed Ferret (Mustela nigripes) is native to central North America. The Black Footed Ferret is a species that came extremely close to extinction. It
“The world wouldn’t be the same without BFFs,” black-footed ferrets. These important little animals are a keystone species in a prairie ecosystem. A keystone species is one that plays a unique and crucial role in its ecosystem. Without that species the ecosystem would be quite different. The black-footed ferret is a member of the weasel family. It is the only wild ferret species that lives in North America and one of the three remaining ferret species in the world. This makes it even worse that the black-footed ferret is one of the most endangered species in the world with only 750 left living in the wild. The black-footed ferret which lives in a prairie ecosystem is a keystone species and the loss of it entirely would be detrimental to their
Explorer Colonel John Blashford – Snell found a rare breed of a Double-Nosed Andean tiger on his recent trip to Bolivia. The double nose appears to be a regular dog nose but with nostrils separated by a band of skin. The breed is said to possess heightened sense of smell due to their double nose.
They are scavengers and predators and eat small animals like rabbits or rodents. They have been known to take down vulnerable prey much larger than themselves like caribou or moose. They scavenge for food and eat carrion, the carcasses of animals. It is said that they will challenge much larger predatory animals when food is scarce like cougar, wolves, and even bears. They have also been known to burrow underground to eat hibernating animals, and will eat some plants, berries, and bird eggs as well. Being short and stocky they do not chase or stalk their prey rather they use their superior climbing abilities to hide in trees or behind rocks and pounce on their next meal. Wolverines possess a special upper molar in the back of their mouth that is rotated ninety degrees towards the inside of their mouth. This special molar allows them to tear through frozen solid meat of carrion and crush bone to extract the marrow. They also have potent anal scent glands for marking territory and mating, these scent glands have earned the wolverine nicknames like the skunk bear or nasty cat. They have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of hearing and smell. Also they are powerful swimmers much like their cousins the otter and mink. Wolverines are nocturnal animals but it is not uncommon for them to be active during the day. They have no real natural predators but will fight, and sometimes be killed, over territory and
“If Portland continues to declare itself as a Sanctuary City, programs that help some of our most vulnerable residents may be harmed the most.” One of Portland's current responsibilities is to decide if it should be declared an official sanctuary city. Although the name ‘sanctuary city’ doesn't have an exact definition, for Portland it basically means that the local law enforcement would be asked to not report undocumented immigrants to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). At first glance this might seem like not much of a problem, but it is. Due to an executive order passed by President Trump it was made clear that sanctuary cities, “are not eligible to receive federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes.”
When gray wolves are born, they are blind and deaf; they must be cared for until they mature. Because the ranchers keep killing them, the wolves are becoming extinct. The wolves like wooded areas; the Turtle Mountains are an example. Besides they keep the ecosystem healthy for the other animal. The ranchers and the people that make the endangered calls are whom this is between. This started to happen in the 1850 to the 1900, when millions were getting killed for their meet. It made the call for being endangered in, 1907 and they are still endangered today. The wolves are enlisted endangered east of highway 83, but not west of highway 83. The wolves need to live for the ecosystem’s health, they should not die just for the cattle. Nevertheless,
Highly adaptable and with varied food tastes, the American black bear inhabits a wide range of habitats, including scrub, swamps, and dense forests.

The black rat is most likely one of the first invasive species to ever be inadvertently distributed by humans. The species originated in tropical Asia, but is believed to have reached Europe by the first century A.D. before spreading across the world, hitching rides en masse on European ships. Since then, the black rat has thrived in just about every region of the world, and has adapted exceptionally well to rural, urban, and suburban environments alike. Unfortunately, its success as a species, in combination with the success of numerous other species of rats, is believed to have come at the expense of dramatic population declines and even extinction of countless bird, reptile, and other small vertebrate species the world over.

Many people say that a dog is a man’s best friend. Ferrets are pretty close. Ferrets are very intelligent and have a way of communicating with humans. Ferrets are a carnivorous species that have not yet been studied when it comes to social cognition, or really at all within the field of psychology. Most people have an instinct to call a ferret a rat. Ferrets will surprise and delight you with what they can do and learn. They recognize their name, respond to verbal and visual commands, and can even learn to do tricks. Ferrets can also be litter-box trained.

The cretaceous-tertiary (KT) boundary extinction happened approximately sixty five million years ago. Sixty to eighty percent of all living species became extinct at this boundary (Raup 1988). The KT extinction was indeed a mass extinction event. Mass extinctions are periods in Earth's history when extremely large numbers of species die out simultaneously or within a limited time frame. The most severe mass extinction ever occurred at the end of the Permian period when 96% of all species died out. The K-T mass extinction obliterated almost all the large vertebrates on Earth, on land, at sea, and in the air (all dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and pterosaurs) suddenly became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period. At the same time, most
