The temperate forest is characterized by a climate with high levels of precipitation and humidity, thick soil, deciduous, leaf shedding trees and four different seasons. These elements support a wide variety of plants, animals and resources that permit life to flourish and thrive. The temperate forest biome is located throughout the planet including parts of North America, Europe and Asia. The temperate forest’s abiotic factors of weather and temperature are distinct. These forests experience

gravesite in Cyprus about 10,000 years ago contained remains of a wildcat with a human body. In the East about 10,000 year ago 600 million cats was traced back to five female species, the modern day cat is descended from their wild ancestor called Felis Silvestris Lybica. Cat breeds have been emerging for over 150 years, there is so many different kind of cat breeds. Almost every cat looks different in some way. “National academy of sciences study analyzed eight bones from at least two cats, the bones

“I’m so sorry, Aunt Mavis.” Anna’s eyes filled with tears. "I don't know why I keep you around for, little brat!" Aunt Mavis looked as though she could have blown fire from her nostrils. "Oh yes, I do." She grinned deviously. “You’re worth a fortune!” Of course, it hadn’t helped that it was a fortune she couldn’t get at. “To bed with you!” Aunt Mavis pointed to the stairwell. “March!” # Anna knelt on her bed, crying into her pillow. She had no idea why Aunt Mavis had been so angry. Anger just seemed

members of the cat family, which includes the subfamilies Pantherinae and Felinae such as domestic cats, tiger, lion, ocelot, etc. Felinae are what we know of today as house cats or domesticated cats and the small wild cats. Near Eastern wild cats (Felis silvestris lybica) are the maternal ancestors of the domesticated cat. These felines were attracted to food sources in early agricultural settlements. “A wildcat from the site of Klimonas shows that they were introduced to Cyprus 11,000–10,500 B.P

their head above the water (Musser, 2018). Their source of food varies, as they are omnivores. They eat grains, nuts, tree bark, acorns, seeds, mushrooms and insects. Their predators consist of several animals, besides the feral and domestic cat (Felis catus) or domestic dog (Canis familiaris). The wild mammals consist of: several hawks or the local peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), raccoons (Procyon lotor), the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), the barn owl

It was then recognized that infected cats could serve as a threat to human health. Cats are considered rare among carnivores in that they are unusually susceptible to disease after Y. pestis exposure. In 1999, a total of 42 plague cases in cats (Felis cattus) were confirmed from the three states where plague is most common: California (7), Colorado (9), and New Mexico (26) (Watson, et. al, 2001). Despite the known association of felids with human plague, the prevalence of Y. pestis infection in

Austin Lackey Shrubland Biome The Shrublands is a vast barren and dry land containing many different type of shrubbery and desert like plants and animals. This biome is found mostly in the south western portion of the United States. Shrublands contain low nutrient soil and leaf litter is critical for nutrients to spread but is often blown away. Shrublands are very exposed to the sun which makes it hot and dry. The annual rainfall is 10-20 inches. It 's hot and dry in the summer and cool and moist

In addition to inbreeding and demographic stochasticity, it has long been known that invasive species can cause drastic and often irreparable changes to native ecosystems, including the decline of indigenous species of both fauna and flora. In fact, invasive species have directly contributed to the decline of an estimated 42 percent of threatened and endangered species in the United States (Dilthey, 2017). Some of these invasive species are widely known, such as Dreissena polymorpha, the Zebra mussel
