The Point Arena mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa nigra) is a federally listed endangered subspecies that is restricted to the small area of Point Arena, in coastal Mendocino County, California (Zielinski, et al., 2013). (See Figure 1). The Point Arena mountain beaver is a dark brown, medium-sized burrowing rodent with small ears and eyes, and long whiskers and claws (National Park Service (NPS), n.d.). The subspecies is semi-fossorial, spending most of its five to six year lifespan in underground burrows (United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), 2011). The burrows are typically found on moist and steep north-facing slopes or in well-drained gullies; each burrow contains separate chambers for food storage, nesting, and excrement (NPS,

Habitat: Their habitats are on crops, arable and waste land, gardens. Commonly on footpaths and in

The article “Nutria, Eating Louisiana’s Coast” goes into great detail about nutria rats and their effects on the Louisiana area. It also presents the reader with facts that prove what the author is explaining.

This lab report focus on the risk of extinction of the panther species of Florida due to habitat loss (urbanization), collisions road kill, intolerance and poor genetic diversity have been confined to this animal to live in a small part of South Florida become one of the most endangered mammals on the planet. About 160 cats remain in the wild. Therefore the objective of this report is to disseminate knowledge regarding the extinction of native species by identifying the mortality, its causes, area of action, level of ecosystem and possible solutions to prevent their extinction

They will be seen in quiet waters that feature mud at the bottom. They will also be found near the Cumberland Valley in Pennsylvania and Maryland. They could rarely be found in Tennessee and Kentucky. They could be found in rivers that feature mud at the bottom because they could hibernate there.

Due to the Bramble Cay Melomys’ isolated location, little is known about its true nature. However, it has been determined that it is a nocturnal species that feeds on the

Food: The Island beach mouse will search nightly for seeds and fruits of beach plants, as well as insects. Mice collect seeds that have fallen onto the sand or climb plant stems to ‘pick’ attached seeds. Sea oats make up the majority of the Island beach mouse's diet but there are several ‘seasonal’ plants that can offer additional food sources throughout the year. These are the Beach pea, coastal ground cherry, Dixie sandmat, joint weed, seaside pennywort, seacoast marshelder, and evening

The California pocket mouse belongs to the genus chaetodipus and is a native species in California, thus it is known as the chaetodipus californicus. The chaetodipus californicus is a populous rodent whose habitat spans from that of Northern California, from the San Francisco Bay, deep into South California towards the border of Mexico. According to the ADW at the University of Michigan, the, “C. californicus occupies a wide variety of habitats year-round within its range in the Upper Sonoran and Transition life zones. These include montane hardwood, valley foothill hardwood-conifer, valley foothill hardwood, annual grassland, sagebrush, chamise-redshank and montane chaparral, and coastal scrub. C. californicus occurs in greatest abundance in habitats where grassland and chaparral are in close proximity. In central California, this species is found at low to moderate elevations, whereas in southern California it is found primarily at moderate elevations.” (Johnson). The habitat regions are generally temperate and terrestrial, most of which are chaparral or forest biomes.

In the Salton Sea, desert pupfish are the only native fish species. They can be found in shoreline pools, agricultural drains, natural creeks and a few artificial refuge ponds. The actual use of the Sea itself by the desert pupfish is largely unknown. The protection and enhancement of existing habitats including shoreline pools, agricultural drains and natural creeks in the Salton Sea watershed are necessary for the future of this species in California.

A famous person once said “Judging a person doesn’t define who they are. It defines who YOU are.” Don’t judge someone by how they look comes out in both of the stories “The Lion and the Mouse” by Rob John and “Wonder” by R.J Palacio. Both of the stories have characters that are different from others. Both of the characters get judged, but are very helpful in the end.
