Narrative point of view can express a perspective that is different to my own way of seeing the world by using characters, expressive language and language techniques and setting. The narrative The Bone Sparrow uses unique point of view to express a perspective different to mine.

The article I found is about the endangerment of african penguins. The african penguin is endangered, and many laws have been put into place in South Africa to protect them, mainly preventing fishing so they have a stable food supply. The article talks about how fisherman are a big cause for the penguins dying out, and how the prevention of fishing has greatly increased their population. However, despite all the efforts to protect them, it still isn't enough to get them off the endangered species list. The penguins still face many dangers like water pollution and climate changes that destroy their habitats. African penguins also had a 90% decrease in population size from the 1930’s to early 2000’s. However in the last 10 years the population

Thomas Hobbes was one of the most controversial philosophers of all time. He argued that the, “Life of man [is] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short” (Hobbes 77). Clearly he didn’t think that humanity was a good group of beings. In the Lord of the Flies by William Golding, one character, Jack Merridew, displays many characteristics of Hobbes’ philosophy on man. Time after time, Golding subtly refers to Hobbes’ philosophy through Jack and his reactions with other characters in the book.

The two articles, “The World Mourns Cecil the Lion” and “In Zimbabwe, We Don’t Cry for Lions” both share the same idea towards the lion, but have different writing styles to use to their advantage. For, “In Zimbabwe, We Don’t Cry for Lions” the author is talking in first person as someone who lives in an African village, who can relate to what’s happening. In “The World Mourns Cecil the Lion” the author is using third person and backing up his thoughts with facts from the real world.

sliding on there stomach or swimming in the ocean. There are many species of penguins, and they all gracefully slid along the ocean floor. Let's go for an adventure and explore these amazing creatures.

Chameleons’ saliva, it turns out, is about 400 times more sticky than human saliva. This allows the hungry reptile to catch prey up to a third of its body weight and keep hold of the prey even as its tongue quickly pulls

Once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a mountain that the Greeks called Arcadia. What lived in the caves of the mountain of Arcadia was something far worse and far more ferocious than what any mortal has ever come across, and it’s name was the Nemean Lion. The Nemean Lion wielded the power to transform into women and would venture far away into the town of Arcadia and kidnap fair maidens.

Female sparrows lay four to six eggs at a time. The eggs are white with reddishbrown spots. The eggs hatch within eleven to fourteen days. Both the male and female parents care for the young. Insects are fed to their young after hatching. Young sparrows are ready to leave the nest eight to ten days

Not many people wonder why penguins cannot fly, but they once did. It all started many years ago when Zeus ruled the Earth. One day, all the greek gods and goddesses were sitting on Mount Olympus eating their grapes. It was a hot sunny day and all the birds were chirping songs for the gods. When all of a sudden all the penguins that existed penguins attacked the gods and stole all of their grapes. Zeus and the other gods were furious. Zeus tried striking lighting bolts at the penguins, but they all flew away too quickly. Zeus was determined to find these penguins and punish them.

Laboratories and field actives used body temperatures and critical thermal limits were measured in six (6) species of Kenyan Chameleons: Chamaeleobitaeniatus, Chamaeleodilepis, Chamaeleoellioti, Chamaeleohohnelii, Chamaeleojacksonii, and Chamaeleoschubotz,Having the opportunity, all six (6) species are really competentheliothermicthermoreguators. Each of the Chameleons typically spend their night low in shrubby vegetation with body temperatures equal to the ambient air, and then climb to the edges or top bushes to bask when the sun shines. For most of the species,the body temperature stabilizes quickly between 29 and 32 °C, which they manage to keep while the sun shines (except when chameleon schubotzi at 19 °C). Laboratories preferred temperatures which ranges from 30 to 33 °C. From the studied suite of behaviors undertaken and distribution of environmental temperatures, it is sure that when solar radiation is seen, these chameleon species do not extremely accept environmental temperature. But rather, they will regulate their own body temperatures in the field, utilizing a lot of the behaviors that have become classically known with heliothermic behavioral thermoregulation. All of the other chameleon specie that undergoes the same study also had the same thermal preferenda around 30

Females lay a clutch of 4-6 eggs, with incubation lasting between 25-32 days. The female does most of the incubating, while the male

Armadillo Lizard is a reptile that can be found only on the western coast of South Africa. Armadillo Lizard live in deserts, shrublands and dry, rocky areas. These animal are collected from the wild and sold in the pet shops around Europe and North America. Armadillo Lizard can reach 15 - 20 inches and about 10 - 20 pounds, also the tail is about 15 inches. The body of Armadillo Lizard is covered with square-shaped scales with a light dark brown on the top of the body and yellow on the bottom of the body. They have a triangular head and flattened body and a tail. A long tube like nostrils, that is well excellent sense of smell for detection of food predators. The Armadillo Lizard have extremely strong bite, also they a change to break their

What is history? Who gets to writes it? Can you be a part of it? History is an array of fragmented stories clustered together to form a whole and power is the driving force of storytelling, that is, those with a voice can be part of history. Michael Ondaatje’s 1987 novel, In the Skin of a Lion, challenges the notion that our great human narrative is just singular written story and suggests, through a post-colonial context, that it is actually the micro-narratives that create our collective history.

Sexual reproduction is when sperm fertilizes a female’s ovum, different steps occur afterwards. An ovum is the female reproductive cell. The egg cell is typically not capable of movement, and is much larger than the motile sperm cells. The common area to reproduce for this species is in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Mating seasons are September-June (Mediterranean Sea ) and June-August ( Black Sea ). Eggs can be carried for different amounts of time, the max amount of time recorded was two months. The male will fertilize the female’s ovum and both parents will then leave. Two to three days later the eggs will hatch in batches of 50,000-60,000 with a diameter of 1.5mm. As they hatch they will automatically migrate Northwards and stay together in a school and travel together until predators or their individual selves decide

You can go pet and feed lemurs at the lemur park in located in Madagascar. Another farm you can go to are reptile reserves, where you can see heaps of live crocodiles lying around.
