On Sunday 10/16/2016 the world’s oldest living panda, Jia Jia had died in Hong Kong’s Ocean Park. According to Ocean Park, Jia Jia’s health had been “rapidly deteriorating” for several weeks and had gotten so bad on Sunday that the zoo officials decided to euthanize Jia Jia. Nicknamed the “Grandma Panda” Jia Jia is 37 years old which is equivalent to 114-years-old in human terms even though the average life expectancy of a giant panda is often just a little above 20 years with human care. Additionally, Jia Jia was also reported to have been suffering from multiple geriatric diseases, such as high blood pressure, arthritis, and cataracts on both eyes. Originally born in the wild, Jia Jia was rescued in 1980 and kept at Wolong for nearly a…
Scientists have tried to tie the red panda’s ancestry to that of the early bear family (Ursidae), the raccoon family (Procyonidae), or a separate family that is a combination of both (1995). Genetic markers of the red panda were compared against four different carnivore species including the dog (Canidae: Canis famillaris), cat (Felidae: Fells catus), fanaloka (Viverridae: Fossa fossa), and mongoose (Herpestidae: Galidia elegans) in the hunt for red panda family. The result of these studies have left scientists with the conclusion that the red panda can be traced to both the linage of the Procyonidae family as well as the Ursidae family. According to National Geographic, the red pandas have been placed in a unique family of their own—the…

Panda are a big ticket item in all zoos. Pandas bring prestige and fame to a zoo. What most people don’t know though, is that fame and prestige cost a lot of money. For each panda that a zoo has, it cost them one million dollars per year plus another six hundred thousand dollars every time a cub is born. On top of that, the money that the zoos make annually is not enough to cover the cost of the pandas (Washington Post 2).…

Living primarily in grassy areas, Rabbits are known for darting around with magnificent speed and agility.

As technology continues to advance with every passing minute, it seems as if the idea of robots taking over human jobs, whether it be physical or intellectual, no longer seems too far off from reality. While it currently seems likely that machines are on a path to take over human jobs, many still feel uncomfortable with this becoming their reality. Kevin Kelly in his persuasive essay, “Better than Human: Why Robots Will-and Must-Take Our Jobs, assumes that his audience is anti-machine job takeover, and attempts to persuade his audience through the use of logos. Kelly heavily relies on logos throughout his essay, it becomes his crutch as there is insufficient amount of strong evidence that prove his claim.…
Problems like extinction, global warming and fighting over resources are only going to get worse in the years coming unless the present generation does something about it. Giant pandas have been the global symbol of wildlife conservation for many years. The mortality of pandas has been due to numerous factors such as habitat loss, starvation, poaching, reproductive biology, and parasitic threats. There is a great impact to biodiversity loss if these issues are not dealt in time to keep the giant panda from extinction. Habitat Loss:…
The tiger is the largest of the 37 species of cats in the world and unfortunately has recently become the most endangered of all the large wild cats. All tigers face two major threats. One is habitat destruction. This not only results in less territory for the cats to live in but also leaves the tigers' territory fragmented into separate islands making is hard for tigers to mate, which make it difficult for the species to survive. Conservation efforts are often aimed at creating sanctuaries, which are connected by safe corridors, which will allow tigers to reach each other.…

This English class has been very helpful in my efforts to improve my writing abilities, but has also been very challenging due to there being a different median for every essay. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. I can’t say that writing essays has been one of my strong points but I believe that this course has helped me improve tremendously and it has also made me feel a lot more comfortable with my writing. While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes.…
