His head was whirring, heart pounding out of his feathery chest, and nerves on edge. Today was the day. He stepped out onto the porch of his igloo and took a deep breath as he stared off at the view around him. Even with everything happening, the arctic mountains never ceased to amaze. With the vast blanket of snow covering them and falling from the morning sky, and the brisk air that penetrated the sunrise, he was still astonished by its beauty each and every day. The snowfall growing faster, he

The Clan of the Cave Bear Many people are familiar with the ancient picture of cave-dwellers being the hairy, gruff bully of a man, dressed in animal skins, club in hand as he drags a female back to his cave. This drastic picture is not what one would get while reading Clan of the Cave Bear. The tale is a little more picturesque, but equally cruel, nonetheless; when it comes to the role of male versus female. Beatings, rape and humiliation are just a few of the brutalities dealt out to the females

Different types of animals are adapted to the environment. It explains why people need to use furnaces, heated blankets, and other devices to survive the freezing cold winter, animals live through the four seasons – especially winter – even if the temperature is several degrees below zero. Mike Konrath, the director of Sagawau Environmental Learning Center in Lemont, explained that animals have lived in the harsh environment for thousands of years. But Konrath acknowledges that some birds die, particularly

population endangered because grizzly bears have dominant traits. Given that grizzly bears are superior bears, they will win fights causing the polar bears to become more conserved as a whole. (hassol, S.J., R. corell, et al. impacts of a warming arctic arctic

Describe the location, use background material available (general geology, topography, dominant vegetation, climate, ecology). The Wildlife Research Center is located in Algonquin Park, (central) ON, Canada, between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River. The park faces long, cold, snowy winters as well as warm summers with temperatures as low as -20°C in the winter and highs as much as 30°C in the summer. Algonquin Park is known for its rocky terrain and numerous lakes and rivers. Dominant types of

warming! The latest survey conducted by the US Forest Service shows that as many as 97% of the animals of the Arctic could be affected as a result of the observed warming. The climate change may occur faster in the Arctic region. Scientists have developed computer models to predict changes in the environment and their impact on the 162 species of birds and 39 species of mammals in the Arctic. The results were appalling. The researchers found that 97% of all animals and birds will fall victim of change

Our White Ice-Loving Friends are Disappearing The concerns about the ever rising sea levels, melting ice caps, and constant warnings about global warming making their way into everyday news and our lives, it is no surprise that bears inhabiting the arctic regions are now suffering as a result. The extent of the damage done to the Polar Bears may mean they'll soon be gone in a scant few years. In the Blink of an Eye, the Polar Bears Will Be Gone No one wants to see our white furry friends go. That's

As a native Inuit of Alaska, I am exposed to many different conditions than others, and with very different styles and standards of living. To tell you a bit about myself, my siblings and I were born and raised in Alaska, so we're my parents and their siblings, and so on for many generations before me. During the winter we build igloos, which are made of snow and ice. They aren't very big but it's the best we can do. In summer we find materials such as whalebones or driftwood, and make a frame
