Equus quagga (Common Zebra): The Zebras are extremely gregarious, living in large groups with a complex social system. They’re herbivores. In case one zebra is attacked, the other members of the herd would encircle the predator along with the victim for the purpose of protecting it. If they would spot a predator, they emit a bark or a loud whinny in order to alarm the members of its group. Zebras have the ability to pack a powerful strike with their front feet and a strong kick with the back. The white and black pattern provides camouflage. The color pattern can also successfully function to dissipate about 70% of heat. Zebras sleep standing to remain alert during sleep. They are known to migrate very long distances to find water and food,

    The invasive effects of Dreissena polymorpha on native mussels within the Great Lakes region The Great Lakes area once supported an abundant number of freshwater mussels (Mollusca: Unionacea). The invasion of Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) has decimated these populations, by outcompeting native mussels in dispersal rates, and reproduction, due to enhanced survival mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms that have allowed Zebra mussels to out complete native fresh water mussels, will provide insight into possible mechanisms that can stop the spread of Zebra mussels, and help with the survival of native mussels. Griffiths et al. conducted length-frequency analysis of the Zebra mussel population, before 1988 (prediscovery) and between…

    John Steinbeck expressed his life through his novels, novellas and poems. For instance, many of Steinbeck’s literary works take place in an area similar to his own home, Salinas Valley, California, an area full of farms, ranches, and orchards (Bloom). Also, California was an area known for attracting farm hands and migrant workers during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl eras because the soil was more nutrient-rich due to its short history of farming (Bloom). This setting transferred over to several of Steinbeck’s works including Of Mice and Men (1937), which is actually set in Salinas Valley. Another example of Steinbeck writing his life into his works is that, as a writer, Steinbeck often struggled financially and was forced to work outside…
