The Mammoth

She had walked quite a long distance from the lake towards the huckleberry shrubs when she suddenly found herself facing a grizzly bear just twenty paces ahead of her. She wanted to run away that instant but her instincts stopped her and she slowly tried moving one step backward. When she did that the bear came one or two steps forward. She stopped and the bear stopped too. She saw Liam behind the

She somewhat got into an argument with her good friend Siobhan about boys. Angry, she stomped off and walked into the woods. While walking, many negative thoughts raced through her mind. She could not take it anymore. Suddenly, she fell into a deep hole. After she fell into the hole, she suddenly realised that there was a skeleton next to her. She screamed loudly, calling for help.

In the cold December, when the land is white with snow, my children’s children go to play on Bloody Ice. Its incarnadined surface is a source of mystery, another one of our town’s curiosities. Sixty years ago—but how my memory dims!—I saw the red take hold. I saw wicked things rising from the lake, and when they left, they took my brother with them.

Everyone continued with their lives, the simple notice of an enemy rising seemed to slip their sights. Until the day that it happened. A monster from the depths below, one that no one had ever imagined to exist, tore its way through the settlement before leaving with some of the remaining humans. Those that were Hunters from a Tribe followed it, finding the bodies of their fellow survivors lifeless in the woods not far from the settlement. This was the beginning of their true

She was all alone- her coat soaked to the pelt- causing it to lie flat against her, freezing her to the core. Unable to get warm or dry, and too scared to venture any further from her herd, the doe stood strong. Her energetic parade had dissipated into a mere stroll, yet the furrows in the earth were getting ever deeper. The doe’s young muscles demanded rest, although her instincts and frozen limbs kept her

Luel is known for their wine merchants and marketing. Alani’s mother was a pottery marker. Alani’s father was a chef. The Vine’s family has a medium-sized sheep dog. Both parents worked on their farm and plantation. Earning the title of the best cheese & wine merchants in Luel. She and her parents are all Pseudodragon Skin Changers. Alani helped her parents with everything they would allow her. They treated her with great care and protection. The sheep dog was born with a fetal illness that caused it to pass away. Her father helped her burry the dog in the yard beside their house. Her father one day disappeared when he went into the forest to pick some of the local wild fruit. Alani’s mother went to try and find him. She later came back with no information. As the days rolled on, her mother grew sicker. Alani was soon left to do all of the chores as well as running the business. About a year later, Alani was doing her daily mother checkup. As she opened the door to her bed-ridden mother’s room; the strong scent of iron clogged up her lungs. On the bed, half of her mother was eaten with a small stump of a tree taking root in her mother’s stomach. The ten-year-old Alani tore the monster from her mother’s corpse. It’s maw was open, exposing it’s blooded sharp rows of teeth. Before it’s tendrils could grab hold of her – she snapped it in half. Taking it outside, she burned it. She spent of the day setting up a proper burial for her mother in the back

From behind her, Hulga heard a loud grunt. She turned and found herself face to face with a gargantuan bear. Weakened and tired from her journey, Hulga looked in the bear’s eyes with a sense of hopelessness. Certain the bear would kill her, Hulga thought about how rude she was toward her mother and regretted that she hadn't appreciated her mother’s love for her. While she thought, she could feel the bear’s damp nose inspect her face before it suddenly turned and walked away.

Woolly Mammoths Woolly Mammoths physically differ from elephants, have lived in multiple environments due to migration, and became extinct due to climate change, humans and comets. Woolly Mammoths became extinct during the last ice age and there were many theories. One theory is because of climate change. Earth began to heat up so the world climate became to much for the Woolly Mammoths to handle because they live in conditions of a colder globe because climate change struggled to adapt to change condition and environment. Second theory is when the earth's temperature increased humans headed northward.

We decided to build a temporary shelter out of sticks. That night was cold and unbearable, Simon couldn’t sleep so he built a fire. We saw these creatures running around making weird noises. They looked like the creature that took Simon’s son but there were many of them in packs. I immediately ran into the deep, freezing, cold water.

De-Extinction should happen because it helps the environment and their society get healthy from all the extinct animals. Bringing back extinct animals such as the Wooly Mammoth could help their environment. “woolly mammoth to reintroduce to the tundra. This could repopulate the area, encouraging the revival of ancient grasslands”. Having the Mammoth reintroduced would repopulate the area by animals and plants. “The Mammoth could slow the rate of melting permafrost and, therefore, reduce carbon emissions”. The Mammoth could slow down the rate of melting in the tundra because of how they act and because they are frozen solid in big ice blocks.

In this paper, I will be summarizing the theory of overkill in chapter two of ‘’Twilight of the Mammoths’’, by Paul Martin. Before, I get into this started a little background information about who the author is. Martin was a scientist that studied forms of life existing in prehistoric times that was represented by the fossils of plants and animals. His overkill theory was that he argued, that humans were very much responsible of over hunting for the Late Pleistocene extinction of megafauna of mammoth, slots and Neanderthals in northern Eurasia and North and South America in the last thousands years ago. ‘’ to me the core piece of evidence for human involvement is that when viewed globally, near time extinctions took place episodically, in a pattern not correlating with climatic change or any known factor other than the spread of species. Extinctions followed prehistoric human colonization’s in a ‘’deadly syncopation’’ to use the words of mammalogist Ross MacPhee. (Martin, 51) It was also stated that when humans moved into different areas of the world that’s when huntable animals were wiped out. The archaeological

Smiling, she enjoyed the ride from the grocery store. Excitement building at the thought of the camp-out. They headed toward the church for a 'Royal Scouts' camp-out, when Elisabeth felt the car slow to a stop. Looking to her mother she asked; 'What's wrong mommy? Why are we stopping?' 'Someone's car broken down, honey. So we're just slowing down so people can go around them.' She looked out her window at the little white car stopped on the two-lane bridge. With just barely passing the room, she watched as people moved their cars to the right side of the lane.  From somewhere behind their car, the sound of a freight train came squealing to a halt. With a burning smell of rubber, piercing her nostrils, a logging truck whizzed past her window. It happened so fast. When the truck came barreling down the road, it fish-tailed into the back end of Elizabeth's little white car. Shattering her window, Elisabeth as pieces of glass floated through the air and the car turned toward the ledge of the tiny bridge. The ringing sound of her mother's screams rang deep within her ears, as the water on her right slowly came into view. Jerking the steering wheel with all her might, her mother screamed as she desperately attempted to turn it away from the ledge. No matter how hard she tried, the wheel would not move in any direction. It was locked. Her mother threw her hands in the air while

She held her breath and looked down. It was an Indian! He was right beneath her, and she was terrified. He was looking around, searching for something. Suddenly, against her will, Lillie felt a tear fall off her face. She watched as it fell right onto the Indian’s bare shoulder. Lillie squeezed her eyes shut, hoping that she would wake up from this nightmare. For a second, she thought that she had actually been having a nightmare and that she would wake up safely in her bed when she felt her leg get yanked down, and it brought her with it. She fell, screaming as her eyes flew open. Then her head hit a branch, and everything went black once

It was later in the day, near time for all to pack up and go home, when shouts rang through the mill. A blur of green, a cloud of red barreling through the mill. "Stop!" The men shouted, trying to catch the panicked, running girl. Her face was ashen, mottled with red and wet with sweat and tears. Eyes hardly seeing. A splash of wet red across her green dress. "She's hurt, catch her!" Hands reached out but the shrill scream when they near caught her made the men

The elk enjoyed being in the field. The rush of the breeze flowing threw his fur relaxes him. On a hot sunny day he plays in the wet grass. He gets lonely sometimes because there is no one with him but, he always finds a way to just have fun. The elk wakes up every morning and just lays under the sun, he lets the hot breeze hit him and he thinks to himself why can’t I be like other animals ?where are all the other animals ?. The elk gets really lonely sometimes, he does the same routine everyday he just eats, plays , sleeps .Well one day he woke up hearing noises. He decided to go see what the noises were, as he gets closer and closer the noises get louder , Finally he made it to this tree, he looks and sees all these other animals playing.
