The Huntsmen Spider

Improved Essays
When it comes to cooling off in the summer, the Huntsmen spider is no exception. However, fear not, as these spiders are generally timid who will run lighting-fast speed when disturbed (termite.com).As seen in the picture,the Huntsman spider's hairy body length of 1/2" and its long legs is known to like the cooling of flat leaves, rocks, and of course the nice A/C temperatures of corners and roofs in buildings. While they are not dangerous, a bite from them is unpleasant. Take care to not anger a female Huntsman's sac or young in summer! It seems like this Huntsman is preparing to web it's future home.

The Beluga whale pictured here is a product of hunting done in the Arctic, perhaps by commercial fishermen for sale of rubber, meat and other

    Making a Splash: The Practice of Profiting from Whales Based on what we know today about the effects of holding and breeding whales in captivity for the sole purpose of making a profit, it is no longer acceptable in today’s society to allow this archaic practice to continue at places like SeaWorld under false pretenses. The release of the documentary “Blackfish” has raised questions on the treatment of Orca whales in particular, illustrating the inhumane conditions and treatment of these animals, which are exploited for their intelligence and used in performances for thousands of spectators annually. One of the most concerning indicators of this mistreatment has been the death of a number of the Orca trainers at SeaWorld in recent years. Taking…

    Canadian Seal Hunt The famous Nobel Peace Prize winner, Wangari Maathai once said “Environment and the economy are really both two sides of the same coin. If we cannot sustain our environment, we can not sustain ourselves” This has led me to the belief that the Canadian Seal hunt should not be banned because of the environmental benefits, economical benefits and the health benefits it provides that have been discovered through well developed research. Firstly, the seal hunt is balancing out the ecosystem. Research shows that seals in Newfoundland and Labrador are consuming 250, 000 MT of Turbot, 800, 000 MT of capelin and…

    There are very few national debates within the country of Canada that are as prominent as the arguments surrounding the Atlantic seal hunt. The seal hunt is a traditional event that happens annually in the Atlantic provinces of Canada which takes place in the early spring of the year. This annual hunt provides a significant source of income to many of the residents in the Atlantic provinces (Sanger, 1998). The large debate surrounding the topic of the seal hunt is due to the fact that many people believe that the hunt is inhuman and should be stopped. The other side of this debate is that the hunt is not only humane but is also important to the Atlantic provinces and therefore should continue (Vaughan, 2009).…

    The marine mammal I have chosen to do my research paper on is the Orca Whale, also known as a killer whale. The genus or scientific name is Orcinus, also known as the killer whale. I have chosen to do my paper on this marine mammal because ever since I was young, I loved going to Sea World and watching the Shamu show. These incredible animals grow up to weigh as much as six tons and grow in length between 23 and 32 feet long, the relative size of a school bus. Orca or killer whales are easy to detect because of their distinctive markings, black and white coloring.…

    Composers construct images to draw an emotional response from responders and exposes them to mew ideas and perspectives. Visuals in texts are a powerful tool to reshape understandings of specific ideas and draw us into their experience. Judith Beverage uses the observation of an animal, a giraffe in Domesticity of Giraffes and a spider in The Orb Spider and uses this as an inspiration to comment on the beauty and order of the natural world and the result of interfering with this balance. Doris Lessing explores the conflicting feelings about the transition from childhood to adulthood, taking a moment in a young boy’s life for her symbolic short story Through the Tunnel. Using a variety of techniques, both composers construct powerful images…

    The Missing Sea Otters

    According to the article “Search for the Missing Sea Otters: An Ecological Detective Story” by Mary E. Allen and Mark L. Kuhlmann, the sea otter population has been decreasing at a rapid pace since the 1990’s in Aleutian, Alaska. This is demonstrated by article “What Could be the Cause of Decreasing Otter Numbers” which states that in 1997, the decline of the sea otter population had increased to about 90%. They hypothesize that the decrease in the sea otter population has been caused by their predator, the killer whale because the sea otter’s bodies do not come ashore. The evidence suggests that killer whales are eating the sea otters because in the text “What Predator Could be Causing the Large Decrease in Otter Numbers”…

    Killer whales have been kept in captivity since 1961 and at least 165 orcas have died in captivity, not including 30 miscarried or stillborn calves. Dozens of wild orcas are plucked from their families and forced to live in artificial social groupings. There are currently a total of 60 orcas held in captivity in many entertainment parks. “While the whales have been spotted with rake marks caused by tankmates' teeth, and a host of serious injuries caused by fighting, Fischbeck confirmed just how regular - and severe - the fighting could get” (Schelling). People began capturing whales for entertainment purposes in the late 1960’s.…

    Since childhood, spiders to me have remained the blood curdling, bone-chilling creature, with the ability to paralyze almost everyone – from adult men to teenage girls – with fear. As a teenage girl, I seem to be the stereotypical, terrified victim of the spider. Flashback to my earlier teenage years, and I was not moving that spider. There was no way – it was not a job for me. I was determined to avoid contact and proximity at all costs, even if this meant evacuating the room.…
