    Birds of prey like hawks may have been seen as animals bound to mindlessly act for the sole purpose of fulfilling the wills of the gods. Native American animism suggests that hawks were spiritual messengers manifesting in the physical world to guide people to act in a certain way. In the Pacific northwest, First Nations peoples see the eagle, which is similar to the hawk, as a symbol of gracefulness, power, and intellectual ability. The eagle is seen as a wise animal, and its feathers are used in spiritual rituals such as prayer.…

    The use of point of view is a major focus on how both talking animals differ from each other. In the poem, “Hawk Roosting” the hawk sees the world as his own territory. He is the ruler of the world and everything else is his food, “Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly, I kill where I please because it is all mine.” When the hawk says, “It took the whole creation, to produce my foot, my each feather: Now I hold Creation in my foot.”…

    Bonobos Have you ever heard of a bonobo? If not, then you are missing out. When taught at a young age, these creatures have the capability to learn up to 348 symbols. When Kanzi was an infant Sue Savage-Rumbaugh tried to teach his mother, Matata, to communicate using a keyboard labeled with geometric shapes. Matata never really got the hang of it, but Kanzi- who usually played in the background seemingly oblivious, during his mothers teaching lesson- picked up the language.…

    Re “A Change of Heart about Animals” I believe Rifkin establishes a valid argument that we should treat animals more humanely, although to a certain extent. Rifkin establishes ethos, since he’s an environmental activist, and while there certainly is an emotional appeal in the form of animals’ feelings and logos in the form of studies proving some animals can think, does his message convey towards all animals? I think Rifkin’s ideas apply more towards superior animal with definite intellect and that we should change our treatments towards those animals specifically.…

    For my final write up, I will be talking about interesting adaptions of the Great Blue Heron. From my research, I found that Great Blue Herons are foragers. They usually hunt alone, and can be found across much of the United States. The Great Blue Heron is the largest of the North American herons and can live up to 17 years of age. This species is often seen wading slowly through shallow areas of water, or standing absolutely still, staring into the water for prey such as fish and frogs.…

    In “Hooked on a Myth”, Victoria Braithwaite says Are Nonhuman animals Conscious? I agree with her argument that fish feel pain and that fish are conscious, but I feel like she could’ve taken the argument a lot further than what she did. She talks about how fish feel pain and she uses the evidence of how they injected bee venom under the skin of the trout . When the fish started to feel the bee venom their gills beat faster, they rub the affected area on the walls of their tank, and lose interest in food, but when they are given the the painkillers they start to act normal again.…

    Before an in depth analysis about the visual perceptions of both the common barn owl (Tyto alba) and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virgiriianus) can be provided, it is important for the reader to understand the environments of which these organisms can from. Unlike the Odocoileus, the Tyto genus are nocturnal, medium sized creatures with white-brown fur, and are found in almost all parts of the globe except Antarctica (Harris, 2002). In regards to the courtship ritual among these owls, it is the male species that must show-off their flight to the female by chasing after them (Harris, 2002). Once a couple is established, the Tyto owls tend to show fidelity and will not submit to another partner unless there is evidence that their original…

    Do animals have a conscious like we do? Do animals experience pain like we do? Are they aware of how they’re feeling, like we are? All these questions arise because, for a long time, there has been a debate over whether or not animals can think like we humans do and whether or not they have a conscious. Some arguments have been based on the fact that as humans, we have larger brains, and therefor are capable of more cognitive processing and greater understanding (Bickerton, 2000).…

    Some of you may think that animals are not smart. Some of you may think that most of the animals I talked about were special, that they were bred in a lab. But animals in natural life are smart too. For instance, a girl in my class named Erin has a farm, and every day her dad goes out at 2:30 AM to milk them. The cows line up at 2:25 am without being told.…

    The typical breeding season of Eastern Bluebirds typically begins when they lay their first egg around the beginning of April and their last egg towards the final days of that month (Hall, 2013). The nestlings will not start fledging until early May, although there is variation until early September. We understand from researching the process of fecal sac removal that the fecal sacs will most likely not be removed until the first few weeks after hatching. The longer days of late spring and early summer have a photoperiod average of 16-18 hours of daylight and we since we plan to conduct this experiment in April of 2017, 18 hours of daylight will be the expected May photoperiod by the time the birds hatch (Navara, 2016).The normal temperatures of May average from the lows of 14.6 ℃ to 27.7℃ (U.S.…

    Ethics is defined as Rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad. I believe it is unethical for humans to cause pain to animals unless strictly for consumption or vital purposes. I believe it is morally right for animals to have a certain level of protection against animal cruelty. People argue that animals do not have the autonomy that human beings have and there for should not be provided rights. Such people believe that animals were only placed on Earth strictly for human use, that they cannot be rational or experience emotions, and lack autonomy.…

Its bright blue skin, usually darker around its limbs and stomach, serves as a warning to predators. The glands of poisonous alkaloids located in the skin serve as a defense mechanism to potential predators.…
