Passenger Pigeon

At one time the Passenger Pigeon made up 40% of the bird population in America. When they migrated their flock stretched 300 miles, and covered the sky for hours. How did 5 billion birds disappear within 30 years? Yes, it is because we hunted the whole population. The passenger pigeon was an average bird with a big population. This bird served as the cheapest source of protein while hunters successfully killed the entire species. These birds never attached or harmed others in any way shape, or form

Passenger Pigeon The world has experienced many mass extinctions within its lifetime. More and more are occuring today with the help of homo sapiens. Everyone in the modern age has heard of the most recent extinction of the white rhino, that was hunted for their prized horns. However, not many have heard of the passenger pigeons’ claim to fame. There was an overabundance of them in the United States, particularly in eastern North America. Passenger pigeons had been in America before the Europeans

“Passenger Pigeon”, written by John James Audubon, is the author’s account of the passenger pigeon, a bird species prominent in North America until it became extinct. The scientific work begins with a rich description of the passenger pigeon. After describing the pigeon, Audubon changes topics, as he begins to discuss a personal story involving the bird. The structure of content in “Passenger Pigeon” is a cycle, as Audubon goes from giving factual information to telling about his individual encounters

The Passenger Pigeon has been extinct since 1914 when the last specimen, a female bird named Martha, died in captivity at the Cincinnati Zoo. though many thing of extinction as an end all be all, recent advancements in DNA technology and understanding may make extinction extinct. Scientist have concluded that it is possible to take still-viable dna cells from long-dead specimens, implant them in a closely related modern-day specimen, and have a chimera of an extinct species be born. For many extinct

too many risks such as costs, diseases, and the ideology that any species can come back after going extinct. De-extinction is finally emerging and being more widely spoken about as scientists and engineers plan the process of bringing back the passenger pigeon. This can create a multitude of problems for the planet. De-extinction is the process in which a species is replicated or made similar

The article, The Mammoth Cometh, uses many appeals and techniques to relay the importance of de-extinction, especially in relation to Novak's passion, the passenger pigeon. Pathos are effectively used to in giving us (the audience) a personal connection with Ben Novak as the author takes us on hikes as a boy throughout the badlands near his home, “exploring a vast petrified forest,” in North Dakota. “Novak frequently came across vertebrae, phalanges and rib fragments of extinct crocodiles,” and other

Technology in today 's age has suggested that recreating extinct species is feasible. Development in this area brings up the questions of whether or not reintroducing extinct species is ethically and environmentally sound. Human expansion and invasion destroyed the lives of many creatures, and some people believe it is their obligation to return the species back to the wild. However, their habitat is no longer what it once was. Arguments are being made to bring back species that humans have inadvertently

your boss sprung this surprise no expenses paid business trip on you. It will take about two and a half hours to fly three hundred miles to get you to your destination, not taking into account the 45 minute delay due to some less than cooperative passengers, and some very smart regulations." "I know that having you board was a pain especially since we have you do it by group number, which you have no control over, instead by row number, which just creates a giant clump of people that takes an extra

The most important security measure at an airport is to confirm the identity of travellers. This is done by checking a photo ID such as driving license. The passengers who are travelling internationally need to have passport. Just glancing at a photo ID is not enough, however. The hi-tech fashion in airport security today is biometrics. Biometrics includes checking fingerprints, retinal scans and facial patterns using complex computer systems to determine whether someone is what they say are - or

Backend consist of PHP and loosely coupled with Front-End. It also includes database connectivity by using MYSQL. 1. INTRODUCTION This project is nothing but as advanced version of currently running Railway Reservation System used by IRCTC. The passenger can individually select his seat as per the preferred berth unlike the current system which provides seat as per the availability. The transparency in existing system is compromised means one can illegally book the ticket and sell them at higher
