Extinction events

In South Dakota there is few Osprey left in the wild. The birds are much like Bald Eagles--which have been on the rise. They differ though by appearance and nesting habits. Nesting is one of the main reason the Osprey are retreating. They do not like to start new nests in places they do not know, meaning they like to be with their population. B. About the Osprey The birds live in many areas in the United States--around freshwater and seawater. They are birds of prey with a wingspan of 60’’. They

On July 18, 2016, I went to the Monte L. Bean Museum, located in Provo, Utah. I was a little hesitant at the idea of this science museum. It is basically a taxidermy museum, which sounds very odd. Nevertheless, I went, and was amazed at the displays that were shown. I was amazed at something I saw in the lobby of the museum. There was a two-headed snake shown. It was only about 6 inches long. A sign by the snake said that because of complications with eating, the snake died of starvation shortly

Jurassic Park, a theme park with actual living dinosaurs for people to see. Before the park opened, the owner invited multiple guest to tour the park first. As they went through the park, they disliked it and didn’t want it to be shown to the public. Soon afterwards, all of the systems were shut down and when they are, the dinosaurs were free out of their cages. Afterwards, when they eventually fix the systems and finally leave the island. Hoping to never see or experience something like this again

This is my identity letters. I have designed it to express the things that I love, fear, where I would like to explore, and what I find appealing. My work was designed to be graphic, expressive, representational of myself and of what I see that others may not see in my perspective. The materials I used in my project were colored pencils and black sharpies. I used a black sharpie to outline my drawing to make it stick out and have structure. Then I used high quality colored pencils so that my drawings

transgenic animal escapes back into the wild. The potential harms may include "the alteration of the ecologic balance regarding feed sources and predators...and the disruption of reproduction patterns and their success," (Animal Biotechnology). The quick extinction and endangerment of these animals can dwindle

Species for which the model in Dwyer et al. (2014) performed well are widespread and occupy many habitats in California, but those that performed poorly are at least seasonally tied to specific habitats or geographies. For example, all three species occupy areas with topographic variation. Golden Eagles and Turkey Vultures are obligate cliff nesters, while Common Raven is a facultative cliff nester that also nests in trees and sometimes on powerline poles and transmission towers (Thelander 1974,

As Kurtz settles in the forest, he seems to find out his own way to achieve his goal. In order to get the ivory to satisfy his enjoyment, Kurtz has different terrible methods. Marlow said, "Hadn't I been told in all the tones of jealousy and admiration that he had collected, bartered, swindled, or stolen more ivory than all the other agents together?"(Conrad 43). Ivory is the source of Kurtz's happiness. He is doing a great job than anyone else, no one can get more ivory than him. Swindle and steal

Through excavating in bone beds it has become apparent that dinosaurs were more than singular animals and followed patterns displayed by many current animal groups when concerning family. Dinosaurs had ranks within their herds and there where often struggles of territoriality, social dominance, court-ship, and feeding (Tanke & Currie, 1998, pg. 181. These insights have been gained from light tooth scars around the snout and on top of the skulls of many dinosaurs. While family units where common

The concept of “One Health” has recently become a topic of interest in veterinary medicine. One Health is the concept that animal, human and environmental health are closely linked. Understanding the impact animals have on the society is important for a veterinarian to understand. In my personal life, I have experienced many situations where veterinary medicine is closely aligned with public health. Traveling abroad to Mexico, Costa Rica and South Africa allowed me to experience how the health of

Filmmaker and scientist Werner Herzog had the unique opportunity to experience a once in a lifetime to explore Chauvet Cave in southern France. Access to the cave was very limited since it was first discovered by explorers in 1994, it gets its name from the man who first set for in the cave, Jean-Marie Chauvet. A rock slide had sealed the original entrance to the cave, preserving its contents inside. The cave itself is an art museum left from a time long before thought possible, it is renowned for
