Wildlife and Biodiversity in Big Bend Big Bend National Park provides habitats for a dizzying array of animals, such as bats, birds, snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, mountain lions, and bears; these habitats are found in the deserts, the mountains, and river (Flynn, 61). In this park, bats are a major pollinator of cacti and other flowering plants and a major consumer of flying insects. The most common animal found in Big Bend is the vultures. The vulture’s heads prevent infestation from parasites

The Giant Slayer One important lesson that my teachers and friends from Saline Christian Academy taught me was that no matter the obstacle in life whether in school, work, or in the world, nothing is impossible with Christ. Goals are achievable, challenges are accepted, and dreams come true with faith and hard work. Our theme my senior year was “Face your Giant”, and I faced my giant with the people in my important picture. Our theme, “Face your Giant”, was inspired by the Biblical story of David

But the river that Mexico believed as the border was the Nueces River. The two countries didn’t have the same perspective of the borders. In 1821, Mexico declared itself free from its mother

War isn't just about blood and bullets, its about fighting for what you believe! The U.S was justified, in my opinion in the 1800's because of many important reasons that happened between Mexico and the U.S throughout that key year. So, if justify means to for it to be right or correct, do you think its right for the U.S to go to war? As in my opinion of the war, I think the U.S is justified because how Texas is now annexed, how the Mexicans treated the U.S, and last but not least, Mexicans attacked

Mexican American War “...May the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend on our countries peace and prosperity…” -James K. Polk. What our 11th president meant by this is that we need to maintain good relations to bring success as this is the opposite of what Mexico wanted. In 1845, many Americans believed in manifest destiny which was the belief that the United States was destined to stretch from coast to coast. As this idea scattered through America

Amid the Spanish time frame, a sheltered zone shaped the purported Rio Abajo, the center Rio Grande Valley, with its middle in Albuquerque. New Mexico's northern limit was Santa Fe and Belén, the southern Rio Arriba was the upper part of the waterway. At the point when the Spanish pilgrims arrived, Rio Abajo was intensely settled by Pueblo individuals uprooted by and large by Hispano cultivate settlements. After some time expansive

On the other hand, the US claimed the Rio Grande River (McCaffrey, 1994). The troops from Mexico and the US met at the Rio Grande on April 25, 1846 prior to the Mexican army firing at the troops of the USA. This was the onset of the Mexican-American War. The Mexican-American War associates with various struggles relating to land

ultimately resolved through the passing of the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty of 1848. Remuneration was requested from the republic of Mexico which was granted by the U.S. This movement allowed and officially surrendered the land bounded by California and the Rio Grande river. Although Texas had been annexed in 1845 to be part of the Union as the 28th state, this led to necessity for government control that was not easily supplied since Texas was a long distance away. However, the annexation of Texas increased
