Hippopotamus

Negrete 1 Arnie Negrete Animal Biology 7 November 2015 Hippopotamus Hippos weigh up to 1,600 pounds, making the semi-aquatic animals the third largest land mammals behind elephants and rhinos. Their diet consists of mainly fruits and vegetables depending on their environment whether they are in the wild or kept in a zoo. Hippos don't move a lot during the day, so they consume just around 88 pounds of food per night. This may sound like a lot, but when you compare it to their size, it comes out

As a little girl, I loved my stuffed animals and could not go a day without them. There is one that I still have sitting on my bed today, he is a hippopotamus named Hank. For my capstone, I wanted to do something that had to do with my pal. Lots of children grow up having that one special toy that meant everything to them. I wanted to choose something that someone could easily relate to. Throughout the animation there would be no dialog, just music. This way the audience could focus more on the

I like how Fuggle started of this chapter, “...species judged to be closely related using other lines of evolutionary evidence should show more similarity in their DNA and constructed molecules than species understood to be more distantly related.’ ....the number or degree of differences in various molecules among species should correlate with what has been previously proposed as the evolutionary distance between species.” He starts of with a scientifically proven hypothesis and then defends the

Habitat: Cheetahs are best known for living in the grasslands of East Africa , in vast national parks like the Serengeti or Masai Mara. The animals in East Africa are Mountain gorilla, elephant, hippopotamus, antelope, lion, giraffe, leopard, zebra, black rhinoceros, wild dog. The most popular plant in East Africa is Alchemilla, another plant that is in East Africa lobelia. The type of soil in East Africa is dry. The kind of sand is sand boab. The water type they have lakes also they are islands

1. The Bantu still relied heavily on hunting and gathering even after the Agricultural Revolution took place because they did not want to depend heavily on the land and over cultivate it. The Bantu wanted to exploit various resources lightly. Moreover, they wanted to consume a variety of foods rather than the one or two foods they produced with agriculture. 2. Egypt is often referred to as the ‘Gateway of the Middle East’ although it is physically located in the continent of Africa because its citizens

Pyramids, the after life, and mummication were important to the Egyptians in many ways. The pyramids were important to Egyptians because pyramids were tombs of the pharaoh. Inside the tomb were things that the pharaoh needed for afterlife. The pharaohs tried to trick robbers by building different chambers. The great pyramid was nearly 500 feet talle and it was built in Giza. It took two million blocks to build the great pyramid and it took about 20 years to build the pyramid. Pyramids had many uses

Ancient Egypt was full of mystery. I would like to talk about two well-known art works Akhenaten and His Family and Judgment of Hunefer before Osiri. The Judgment of Hunefer before Osiris is a scene from a Book of the Dead made in honor of a man named Hunefer. The Book of the Dead was handed down from ancient Egypt's most famous literature, ancient Egyptian funerary item. The picture was a graphic Osiris for the dead after the trial. In this picture, the beast head in charge of life balance, that

are the most telling bones when distinguishing what group of animals a fossil may have come from. The presence of these two types of bones together in Gingerich’s discovery suggests that this primitive whale indeed could have been related to the hippopotamus. The skeletons of these animals contain similar bones; therefore both are thought to be artiodactyls. In a recent article in Science, Kenneth D. Rose, of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says, “While ankles from primitive ancient

Even among the giants of literature, such as Arnold, Wordsworth, and Milton, Thomas Sterns Eliot stands tall. As the founder of the modernist movement and the voice of a disillusioned generation, there are few who can rival the impact Eliot had on the world of literature. How then, does one choose one work to define this man? Examining his personal beliefs and writings, there are a few threads which connect them all. These threads culminate in his 1925 poem, “The Hollow Men”, a poem which describes

In the painting Hall of the Bulls, the artist had a special ability to draw what he/she sees. Furthermore, the individual who was drawing the painting illustrates in great detail about what was happened on the outside of the cave. Telling or describing something relating to their activities or something they saw during their experience. Hunting of dangerous animals I think were their motivation. I felt that it was their own special way of taking and communicating to each other. That they were profound
