thousands of animals and plants. In South America he observed the adaptations of organisms to a variety of habitat from jungle to grassland to mountain habitats. In the temperate regions the species resembled more closely the species of the tropical regions of South America rather than the corresponding species of the temperate regions of Europe. For example, in the grasslands of Argentina there are no rabbits, however, there are rodents that resemble rabbits; these rodents are unrelated to European

happened, how it happened, as the home that gave her life, now turned into a poisonous mansion that stole her soul in the most cruel manners. She is just one of the ten thousand species who lose their lives every year, struggling against their worst enemy, the enemy that threatens not only the lives of these species, but also the entire ecology, the enemy called Ocean pollution. Ocean pollution, as the name suggests, is the ocean being in a polluted state, a state that does not give, but rather

The Margay, or Leopardus wiedii, is a cat that is native to Central and South America. It is sometimes called the tree ocelot. It is in the phylum of chordata, and the genus of Leopardus. They are near threatened because more than 14,000 are killed for their fur. There are many species variations, including the ocelot, the leopard, and the clouded leopard. The Margay looks like an ocelot, but is a bit larger. It weighs about 5.7 to 8.8 pounds and is 19 to 31 inches long. Their fur is brown with

Tubipora Musica - Organ Pipe Coral The Organ Pipe Coral is a Anthazoa that is cessil. Organ pipe coral can be found in the oceans of the indonesian islands and the Red Sea. It lives on soft sedimentary reef slopes in shallow waters. It’s shape consists of many tubes otherwise known as sclerites. Together, the sclerites form the soft skeleton of the coral, giving a dark red to a bright red appearance. Polyps are housed inside these tubes, and can be green, gray, and white, or other grayscale colors

Polecats have a pair of anal glands that emits a strong smell. When polecats are excited or threatened they release some of the glands. Polecats are lean,and have short legs which are for climbing trees . Their skulls are box like and it's also more canine,like other weasels; their faces more closely resemble minks than weasels. European polecats

man-created global issues are forcing several animals to the brink of extinction. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature “18 percent of the world’s remaining mammals and 11 percent of the world’s remaining birds are threatened with

first side states that zoos help protect species that a near extinction and gives visitors and a passion for these animals. The second side states that zoos are immoral because they restrict animal’s rights. In the case for zoos the Pittsburgh Zoo states that zoos are needed throughout the world due to the protection and conservation they provide for animals. Many zoos participate in threatened and endangered species programs that are key to many species survival. They way that zoos touch the hearts

synthetic biology provide additional means for biodiversity conservation? “[It’s important] for us to understand the circumstances where synthetic biology could potentially be beneficial and where it can't,” said Elizabeth Bennett, Vice President for Species Conservation at the Wildlife Conservation Society. “We want to take the emotional ‘knee-jerk’ reactions out of the discussions and put some real solid science and debate into it.” Synthetic biology is still considered an emerging science.
