Alligator

The readings this week, “Twas the Night before Christmas: A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore, “Cajun Night Before Christmas” by Howard Jacobs, and “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” by Francis Pharcellus Church are all based upon the belief of Santa Claus. I can recall the days when I was younger and had the same beliefs mentioned in the three readings. I also remember the time when I was questioning my belief just like Virginia. I like the way the poems bring me back to a…

“Orlando was so fun”. On our way back to Georgia. We stop at a store to find some stuff for my mom. “Dad look “I say, there are two baby alligators Inside of a huge tank. “That’s nice” .my dad said. Now were on a 6 hour and 30 minutes’ drive back to Georgia. “See you later Orlando” After that Orlando was more fun that I thought it would be. The rides are way better than Six Flags. However…

semi-fast pace from warm to colder temperatures as to which the dinosaurs could not adapt to, in the short amount of time. “Colbert, Cowles and Bogert (1946) studied temperature tolerances of alligators in relation to the problem of dinosaur extinction. They infer that the data regarding the living alligator (or crocodilians) are applicable to speculations concerning dinosaurs because of their close taxonomic relationship, the general similarity of environments in which crocodilians now live and…

To begin with, 65 million years ago was the start of the Paleocene epoch that was the establishment of the tertiary period on earth. Due to the extinction of the dinosaurs during the previous period, there was a heap amount of mammals accumulating and evolving from their original size and aspects. Many forms of animals existed big, small, and of many different sizes; rapidly increasing in numbers by reproduction. In this epoch, carnivores were very large in numbers.

I grew up on a bayou with a grandpa that hunted alligators and a mother that was a musician. From a young age I have been influenced by the rich culture of Louisiana. New Orleans was the first large city I visited, and Tulane was the first college campus I ever remembering seeing. I have since visited many other cities and schools, and feel that nowhere else is comparable. It is my desire to become a part of an academic community where I know I will be an engaged alumni for life. Tulane Law…

The Atchafalaya River and its river basin are extraordinarily beautiful with the swampy scenery and the animals in this scenery. This is quite amazing there are egrets and alligators which help each other in the process of symbiotic relationships. The egret benefits form the alligator because it is getting fed and the alligator benefits from the egret because he is getting the stuck food out of his teeth. In this symbiotic relationship both animals or organisms are benefitting which means they…

to save the species. The everglades provides plenty of the wildlife that make up the panthers diet. Feral hog, white-tailed deer, raccoon, and armadillo are their main source of food. Occasionally they consume rabbits, rats, and birds, and even alligators. I admire these animals which is why I chose it to write about, however I am glad I didn’t…

Today I’m going to study the Tunisa. The Tunisa is a vicious amphibian predator. It lives in the South American rainforests and Pacific ocean, but today I’ll be in the rainforests to study one of these animals. It is quite hard to spot a Tunisa because of its camouflage but i've just spotted one. When it’s not blending into its surroundings its main color is green on its scales. On its underside it is a light brown. It also has a sharp point at its back end that is a tannish color. It has very…
