Herbivore

Cloning endangered species to save them is a horrible idea, doing this will bring back species that could go through more pain, or be very bad for our health, to contradict, all animals deserve a chance to survive without interference by the more intelligent species’. There are pros and cons to this controversial issue. Many people want to see dinosaurs again, but do not realize how dangerous they can be. But sometimes humans are stupid enough to wipe out an entire species in a matter of decade;…

Turtles vs. Tortoises Turtles and tortoises may seem like the same animal to many people but in fact, they have many differences between the two of them. They are both pretty common pets but the misunderstanding that they have the same care needs because they are basically the same animal have dire consequences for these animals. That is why it is important to know the differences between turtles and tortoises. General physical appearance is one of the major differences between the two if you…

The Neanderthal subsistence portrayed in the film is also questionable. Researchers and archaeological anthropologists have found that the Neanderthals were predominantly meat-eaters and were skilled hunters; dissimilar to what was portrayed in the film. The Ulam tribe was shown to be predominantly plant eaters, and rarely in the film were they shown to be hunting for food or eating meats. According to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, the physiological stress induced by cold…

cannot live in water below this temperature. This fascinating herbivore can live in salt water and fresh water. The endangered Florida Manatee has a unique body with extraordinary lung capacity, an attractive life cycle, and a fascinating but tragic history. Background and Description The Trichechus manatus is on the endangered species list, but because the public has been educated and practices are in place to help these herbivores, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife submitted a proposal in January,…

The Water Buffalo was introduced to the northern part of Australia in the 1800s. They are herbivores that prefer to live in the wetlands, which have an easy access to food and water. They weighed up to 450-1200 kilograms. These buffalos were introduced to Australia because it was a good source of meat and milk at the time. The early settlements were unsuccessful to farm them and were then abandoned in the 1850s. The buffalo were then set free. The buffalos have impacted its habitat, other…

Humans are responsible for the health and nutrition of all the animals they have domesticated to be their companions. This ethical responsibility involves the ability to understand the nutritional needs of companion animals. This is the case with lagomorphs such as rabbits and a variety of rodents who practice caecotrophy. Caecotrophy, also known as coprophagy, is the act of eating soft excretions, known as caecotrophs, directly from the anus for additional nutritional absorption and digestion…

Evolution is the change in heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. It is the process that gives rise to variation in existing populations, drives speciation, and what leads to the extinction of new species. It is the natural change that occurs in response to environmental pressures resulting in phenotypical changes. Another way for phenotypical changes to occur in a species is by human intervention. Domestication is a form of human intervention. The…

Requirements that you need to domesticate an animal are ,they have to be a herbivore, they have to sexually mature in about a year or sooner, they have to be able to breed in captivity, they have to get along with animals or be able to be trained to get along with animals and the have to have a social structure. If an animal that is not a herbivore is in captivity you have to raise animal for the carnivore to eat and plants for the animal to eat. If an animal…

Interestingly, the dire wolf is not a myth; they actually existed before they went extinct after the last ice age. The dire wolves were known scientifically by the name Canis dirus, and they actually existed, inhabiting North America as well as…

This is one way in which energy is transferred between organisms in an ecosystem. The energy is used for a number of life processes. In a food chain only around 10 per cent of the energy is passed on to the next level. The rest of the energy passes out of the food chain in a number of ways: 1. via heat energy 2. is used for life processes (for example movement) 3. uneaten parts that pass to decomposers 4. is excreted and passes to decomposers. As less energy is transferred at each level…
