    Terrestrial and aquatic mammals, although from different taxa and completely different environments, communicate over long distance in similar ways, but of course have differences since they evolved from different ancestors. Specific to this paper, elephants and whales are discussed; the way their ears, external or internal, are structures and how each section of their ears function to aid in the process of hearing frequencies from conspecifics.

    adaptation has occurred for my everyday life. In order for this process to occur, the inner ear plays a vital part in sound adaption. The soundwaves we constantly receive through our auditory canal causes a small muscle attached to one of the bones in our eardrums to contract, reducing the vibrations to the cochlea, where vibrations are detected (Myers, Dewall, 256).

    The smell hit her first-Annie would recognize that familiar smoky scent anywhere. Her mind was in a state of pure panic. She knew it was the man from the car accident. When he had been stalking her and her family, he would always leave behind a nasty aroma, as if he had been constantly smoking on their property.

    As the sunlight breaks through the dense fog, I can see the long trail that will eventually lead me up the mountain. The air was crisp and cool, and the sweet song of the birds chirping danced on my eardrums. The dirt was damp, and the grass was covered in dew. As I ascended up the trail I was interrupted by a dray of chipmunks, so I stopped to observe their journey across the woodland floor. The sun has risen just a little bit higher, and the fog started breaking apart, so I decided to stray…

    In a forested woodland area, a being sat alone. Shrouded by darkness it appeared as if the creature was part of the night that surrounded it. A boy stumbled forewords upon noting the creature’s presence. It appeared as if the boy had no control of his limbs as he was forced towards the creature. His heart pounded against his ribcage as he was directed towards the hulking being made of the endless ebony void. “What are you?” The boy stammered helplessly. The creature forced the boy to sit on…

    those warning messages appeared on the television. Keep in mind, this was when I lived a tractable lifestyle and was able to take care of myself.

This woman possessed a stolid expression; it was very difficult to tell whether she wanted me dead or if it was love at first sight. This was an ephemeral moment; she quickly…
