Did you know that someone lays down with lions! These two stories are about lions. In Attack of the Man Eaters written by Lauren Tarshis, Colonel Patterson and a group of workers were building a rail road through lions territory and the lions were hungry, so they were killing workers and Colonel Patterson went out to hunt the lions. In the Lion Whisperer written by Susan Orlean lions that were being raised as babies in a petting zoo were being killed, going to circuses, and going to lion…

Predation is defined as the interspecific interaction in which one species called the predator, eats the other species known as the prey (Reece et al., 2013). Due to these two species interacting with one another, adaptations arise over time in each which help them carry out their niche most efficiently. This paper looks at Mellivora capensis, or honey badger as it is commonly called. It is a predator specie belonging to the family of mustelid, which reside mainly on the continent of Africa…

Tapirs are interesting creatures that are bizarre looking, while they play a major role within their habitats such as, seed dispersal and nutrient recycling. Although, Tapirs have also become endangered as well as in need of conservation. In spite of this, many don’t know what a Tapir is, what is threatening them, or their role within the habitats. Tapir has the build of a pig combined with the snout that is similar like an elephant, also has striped or spotted coats that camouflage them…

recently Australia. Rabbits are able to decimate the natural grasses in any habitat they are introduced to, which reduces the amount of energy available to native species and can cause extinctions. Opportunistic foxes like the Sechuran Fox, Bengal Fox, and Red Fox help to use nutrients in the ecosystem that may otherwise be broken back down into humus. They can be found cleaning up carcasses and eating partially rotten fruit off the ground. This can be a problem, though, when they move…

Eastern Gorillas are, according to the IUCN Red List, labeled critically endangered. Why did I choose the Eastern Gorilla? What are their major threats? What are people doing to help the gorillas? How can we help, and what are my ideas? I want to help the Eastern Gorillas, and stop their major threats, show what others are doing, and tell how we can help and my idea. Why did I choose the Eastern Gorilla? I chose this animal because I personally love gorillas. There are six great ape…

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protects animals, plants, land, and waters by managing more than 500 National Wildlife Refuges or 150 million-acres. The organization’s mission is to “work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people”(Fish and Wildlife Service). While the organization is centered around helping conserve the American land, in my research for my proposal to better protect the lsla…

The Amur Leopard or “Panthera pardus orientalis” (www.worldwildlife.org, 2014) is a critically endangered species with around only 30 known still alive. I chose this animal because Leopards have always managed to keep me engaged and keep my attention. I may not have been very knowledgeable on this animal before this project but by the time I’m done I expect to be an expert. In this paper I will cover the habitat of this animal and the types of food it gets, a description of my animal (what it…

Ligers are very rare and so are tigons. The difference between the two are ligons are made by a male lion and a female tiger and a tigon is made by a female lion and a male tiger. “Ligers, like tigons – cubs born to a lioness and a male tiger”. (Panina) The reasons ligers are so rare is because they have to be bred in captivity. Ligers are so rare that there are only around 20 in the world. I do not think this is a good idea to cross breed animals because most places where they are bred by…
