Why should the modern zoo be preserved? This is a question that is the center of great debate world wide. Many believe that the need for and the usefulness of zoos has long since passed. Many others believe that zoos play a vital role in the understanding and conservation of the animal kingdom.

beating, hurting an animal to behave and perform tricks. Because of this behavior towards the animals, the environment at a circus is generally very sketchy. You never know when a lion can be tired of performing and decide to go on a rampage in a circus towards the audience. Circuses carry a variety of animals from lions, tigers, monkeys, to even elephants. The purpose of a circus is to entertain, there is no learning involved in the audience’s experience. Audiences still support circuses and their

differences between the Asiatic lion and the African lion. A study found out that lions from West and Central Africa, show a very similar closer genetic relationship to the lions from India, than to those residing in South and East Africa. Lions that were from Southern and Eastern Africa showed more mutations between different haplotypes which means that there was more genetic variation. Lions inherit traits from their parents by both genetically and physically. Lions have dominant and recessive alleles

yet still heard. The mighty lion is hunting a lone zebra, separated from its herd. The lion stalks below the tall, golden grass, unseen by its prey, slowly getting closer to the target. But just as he is about to attack, the zebra hears the crack of a twig and flees, but this sound was not made by the lion. Behind the lion lies another predator, a hunter looking for a prize to take home. When the gun shot fires, the lion doesn’t just lose his dinner, but also his life. Lion populations in Africa have

partner and me, were amazed and a little scared. As I shook and swung the 20-pound lion head around, I realized my effect as a leader on the crowd. As I feasted on the cabbages, Chinese red envelopes, and oranges, I realized I was much more than just some bamboo sticks and mechanisms. On the outside, I was a lion. A golden fur bearded, red and green-eyed, rainbow-colored pom-pom covered, various art patterned lion! Boom, bang, cling. The beat of taiko drums, gongs, and cymbals rang in coordination

bridge, hanging over a highway. You’re watching the cars speeding by at 50, 60, 70 miles per hour. Got it? Now, picture each of those cars as a yellow, spotted cat, taking bounds that exceed 25 feet. This cat, the cheetah, along with two others, the lion and leopard, have been with us since the beginning. They each have unique characteristics that neither of the two have. They eat similar diets, but have different ways of getting it, with strategy, stealth, and speed. Sadly, their populations are declining

A Companion I was sitting at my desk at 8:00 p.m. on a Sunday night trying to think of something I’m passionate about. I turned to my cat, who at the time was sitting on the floor next to me, and gave him a quick scratch on the head. After he thanked for the scratch by sticking his tail straight up in the air I thought, “Well here is my passion right here.” There is nothing more precious to me than my cat. My cat is named Friend, after a stuffed animal I had when I was in Kindergarten. He is 26

they had a few collections of paintings. However, I was amazed on how many painting they did had and the variety. Out of all of the painting and sculptures, I selected three paintings: The Spirit of the Storm, Peaceable Kingdom of the Branch, and Lion in the Arena. These paintings impress me the most because of how they made me feel. I. First Painting Description The first painting I picked was The Spirit of the Storm by Elliott Daingerfield (1912).

' for hundreds of years. Zoos have supported and aided the twenty-one percent of mammals, twelve percent of the bird species, and thirty-one percent of all amphibian to adapt to a new habitat, stated the website The Amphibian Extinction Crisis. A golden hawk was rescued, it was shot down and its shoulder got dislocated on the fall down; without the care of a zoo the hawk would have died. There is a lot of controversy on whether zoos help or if they are just torturing wildlife. Even though people

the poem Lion Heart depict the rise of Singapore as dramatic and awesome? The first line of the poem is “you came out of the sea”. This can be referenced to Singapore as it’s a city that had just risen and became a very developed city out of nowhere, and as it’s surrounded by water, it’s as if Singapore just burst out of the sea. The poem also starts in an unusual way as Chong, the author, wrote in second person, which isn’t frequent in poems. By this use of you, it’s as if we are the lion and Singapore
