Biology of a Squid Squids are among the most varied and unique of all invertebrates. They are mollusks of the Class Cephalopod, along with the nautilus, cuttlefish, and octopus. Squids are highly evolved, and have developed a number of traits uncommon to most other mollusks. Fossil records of cephalopods have dated back the Cambrian Period (about 600 million years ago). Structurally, squids have only small variations of a basic theme common to all cephalopods. They are spherical or cigar-shaped

guessed the giant panda, you're right! The giant panda is also known as the panda bear, bamboo bear, or in Chinese as Daxiongmao, the "large bear cat." Actually, its scientific name means "black and white cat-footed animal." Giant pandas are found only in the mountains of central China. They live in dense bamboo and coniferous forests at altitudes of 5,000 to 10,000 feet. The mountains are covered in heavy clouds with torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year. Giant pandas

Human effects and involvement on endangered and extinct species Tiffany Tierson Abstract This paper was constructed to give an overview of the vast majority of species that are disappearing and have disappeared from the earth. With informative knowledge and accurate numbers the reader was introduced to the different ways that animals are becoming extinct, deforestation, overpopulation, economic prosperity, population growth, urban environment, global perspective and science and ethics. Each

Is it humane to keep animals in captivity? What about having pets? Pet owners make sure their pets are healthy and get fed every day. Zoo workers are just like pet owners, keeping the animals healthy and fed. Some people think zoos should no longer exist. There are zoos out there that are not the best but there are more good zoos than bad. Zoos conserve animals, breed animals, help humans gain knowledge about wild animals, entertain, and create jobs. If people never saw animals doing amazing things

Today, in a world of destruction some species who have existed have gone extinct. Some would argue that since extinction is a natural, a normal thing, so humans shouldn’t pay much attention. Studies show that 99% of currently endangered animals are at risk due to human activity. There are people who believe that animals who are endangered shouldn’t be protected because of the cost on saving these animals are too high and outweighs the possible benefits. The animal I would want to protect from extinction

Zoos - a national disgrace Today’s zoos are prime providers of entertainment, encouraging people in their thousands to come along and experience the reality of captured animals in small, useless and uninhabitable enclosures. The constant flash of cameras and pressing noses to the glass has become the signature of the zoos which house these precious creatures, yet what we fail to identify is the constant horror and neglect these poor, harmless animals are subjected to. So why should these animals

Even though the red panda shares the same name with the giant panda, they are not closely related. The red panda is much smaller than the giant panda and the red panda has no close living relatives. However, like giant pandas, they are bamboo eaters and native to the high forests of Asia. Red pandas grow to about the same size as a large house cat, but their big bushy tails add an additional 18 inches to their length. One fun fact is that red pandas use their bushy tails as blankets to help with

Did you know the extra animals or adult animals at zoos get killed, slaughtered, or put in a traveling circus because the zoo cant afford to take care of them anymore? And I really love animals and I want to see them well taken care of and loved. Not treated horribly like some zoos do. In my opinion, i am against zoos because of animal cruelty, abuse and stress, small cages and dirty living spaces. Finally, zoos can't let the animals back into the wild because they can't hunt or survive in the wild

Imagine walking through the zoo as a child, thinking how awesome it is to see all of those big interesting animals you would never get to encounter in the wild. Now think of walking through the zoo when you are older seeing these same animals in a very different light. Instead of seeing animals happily living their lives you see animals wandering aimlessly around their small enclosures looking bored to tears and depressed. Is it fair that we keep these animals cooped up specifically for our own entertainment

This photo from the World Wildlife Fund is apart of a series of similar photos. In these other photos the bluefin tuna are wearing rhinoceros and gorilla masks. For some reason these pandas and other creatures are the “mainstream” endangered animals. People seem to care more about these animals even though the bluefin tuna is actually in more danger. But, why? Is it because they are cuter? Nicer? More known?     This photo makes me angry. Not only are we the reason that these animals are going extinct
