Imagine a gazelle minding its own business, feeding in the field. The gazelle is an amazing animal and is quite calm by nature. Something you will notice about the animal though, is the antler it possesses. These antlers are used for a number of things, but one of the main uses is for protection. If and when this gazelle gets attacked by a mountain lion or any other predator it can use its antlers to protect itself. Without these antlers the gazelle would surely die due to no means of protection…
fleet, Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz. The Vogons are adamant and abhorrent creatures. For instance, their home planet has admirable adorned crabs that the Vogons adore smashing to bits. It also has admirable gazelle-type creatures that the Vogons sit on for fun, even admitting that break the backs of the gazelle creatures. But the Vogons get even worse: they're bureaucrats in the Galactic Civil Service. And they abhorrence hitchhikers. That's an annoyance for Ford and Arthur as the two of them are…
Most people have heard about Mesopotamia, but don’t know much about the area. Mesopotamia comes from the Greek meaning “between two rivers”. These rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates. The Tigris River flows through modern day Iraq and the Euphrates Rivers flows through Syria. This area was an region in the eastern Mediterranean bounded by in the northeast by the Zagros Mountains and in the southeast by the Arabian Plateau (Scarre, Christopher. The Human Past: World Prehistory & the Development…
society is an unhealthy aberration of the natural and healthy response to fear. The shaman said that Indigenous people observe animal’s behaviors to remind them of their own true instincts. He used an example of when a gazelle is chased by a lion and manages to escape, the gazelle shakes its body to relieve the stress response, to show that humans can “shake off” a stressful event as well to have peace of mind again. This source is very biased because it is written by an Indigenous shaman,…
which would not have been used to its great capacity if he has stayed as he were. The transition from animal to man was new, exciting and an out of body experience for Enkidu, that he would have never felt if he had continued to drink water with gazelles. Not only did Enkidu have great powers, but he also carries great characters as a person, that would not have been appreciated if he was still in an animal state. If Enkidu has continued to live in an animal state, he would not have fulfilled…
The sculpture I’ve picked depicts a woman swimming (debatable) as she holds an ibex or gazelle shaped dish, and it is almost as long as a hairbrush. It nests in a glass case with other pieces of the ibex motif just a few turns away from the Hatshepsut statuary room. The purpose of this essay is to detail the statuette’s properties, hopefully finding how the properties display specific qualities of Egypt in its eighteenth dynasty. I chose this item because I couldn’t help but make the connection…
bad guy with no training at all. 80% of all homicides in Chicago are gang related. They have the strictest gun laws in the United States, yet the gun laws have done no good. All the Chicago gun laws have done is cut the horns and hoves off of that gazelle, obviously gang bangers will get there hands on a Saturday Night Special, regardless of what any law says, the only way to kill the snake is to go straight for the…
These are the special survival adaptations for South African cheetahs. South African cheetahs are carnivores. They usually eat antelope sizes big and small. Also, they prefer eating gazelle or impala. In the wild, they generally kill their meal about every two days with all the meat on the antelope, gazelle, and impala. Since cheetahs aren't even close to as big of an animal as a leopard, they could only probably kill and animal half of their weight. A normal cheetah weighs 150 pounds at…
shouldn’t affect people faltering away from God. “Everything God intended me to be. The word he had spoken, ‘Bold, social, bright,’ which consisted of me were gouged out by a single sentence like a lion licking every gazelle bone clean” (Song 11-13). Song symbolizes her own self to a gazelle in which the lion is feeding off of. She uses a simile to express how her self confidence is easily gouged down by the words of others. This gives evidence to the thesis that she is not dependent on her…
