treatment for animals under the law. Not all animals are under it, meaning they do not apply. For example “ Animals that are not covered are farm animals used for fiber and hide, cold-blooded species, horses, rats/mice in research they are bred for and amphibians’’ (Animal Welfare).

that they can enjoy their activities with. Well over half of the people in the United States own a pet; however, the personalities of these people differ drastically based on the type of pets they own: dogs, cats, exotics (small mammals, avian, amphibians, reptiles, etc.), or no pets. The most common pet is the dog and many people in the United States have at least one dog. We’ve all seen an owner with their dog, whether it be at the park, walking down the street, or at the beach; often…

gene cluster arose 520 million years ago, therefore animal life during the Cambrian period began to see great diversification. Overtime an increase in the formation of Hox clusters lead to the evolution of complex terrestrial vertebrates, such as amphibians and reptiles. Other aspects of species evolution are heterochrony, one region of the body growing faster than those of different species. An example of this would be the growth rate of a human skull versus and chimpanzee’s skull. As fetus…

When testing the statistics of immunity of the bats it showed that the male greater bulldog bat would be more likely to have the mutation. Also, the list of immune creatures includes poikilotherm (cold-blooded) animals such as invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. The reason for immunity in poikilotherm…

Cloning has been around for longer than you may think. Many believe that cloning is a futuristic process, but the history of cloning dates back to more than a hundred years ago. The first ever attempt to clone was made by Hans Adolf Eduard Driesch in 1885, when he attempted to duplicate a sea urchin. As hard as it is to believe, many different animals have already been cloned, including frogs, mice, sheep and cows. Plants are frequently cloned, and you can even clone a plant at your house by…

A popular film series, “Sharknado”, depicts the fictional occurrence of large schools of sharks being gathered by sea-forming tornadoes, known as waterspouts. When these phenomena move over land, the sharks wreak havoc among the population. While it seems absurd, research from the Dakota Bureau of Meteorology and the Minnesota University, suggests that sharknadoes could happen. Fish out of Water The scientific phenomenon of flightless animals being carried and dropped by tornadoes is rare but…

Small businesses would greatly benefit Karenslope for a plethora of reasons, more so than any other idea presented at the town hall meeting. All other options either harm Karenslope in some way or another, or do nothing to make it better. Small businesses are locally run, provide jobs, and do very little environmental damage. While clear-cutting around Karenslope would result in many jobs and economic benefits, the nature and biodiversity around Karenslope would be devastated to a point past…

The movie was mostly fictional but it was based off of real events. There was a team that included MIT students but also included students from Princeton and Harvard that chased the money and beat the house at blackjack by becoming card counting teams. In real life there were multiple teams and they…

Chordates, which is the phylum or classification of fish and mammals of the sea, are the most developed marine organisms. Scientists believe that Chordates originated about 590 million years ago. The original organisms of the Chordata phylum are believed to have lacked skeletal structures, and therefore, left a very undetermined fossil record. The vertebrate fossil record begins approximately 400 million years ago. Early Chordates were tunicates, marine organisms that would frequently form…
