Bison

For scenario 1 I was debating whether the paragraph was a description or an explanation. I knew right away that it was not an argument because it was not trying to prove anything. The first sentence says “there are many similarities between police and correctional staff in the use-of-force abuses, the code silence, and feeling or isolation”. If this paragraph was an explanation then the rest of the paragraph would go on and state-specific definitions and explanation, explaining how and why there…

What was the westward expansion? Why did the westward expansion happen? Well, there is, not one answer when we expanded westward, but multiple answers. We expanded westward for reasons like gaining more land and take control of the Native Americans. But the two major causes of westward expansion were to gain jobs and explore the land. One cause of westward expansion was to expand the Americas by gaining more land. Evidence shows in document 6 that millions of acres in Nebraska and Iowa…

but not enough to support trees, which only grew along the banks of rivers. The land was mostly flat fields that successfully supported the animals that lived there. The Great Plains were home to many animal species including- but not limited to- bison, porcupine, deer, elk, bear, beaver, wolves, and antelope. While the animals once ruled the land, eventually the natives made their way to the Great Plains. Though we may find their customs barbaric and savage, the natives of the Great Plains…

In 1995, 14 gray wolves (Canis lupus) were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park after an absence beginning in the 1920s (Beschta and Ripple 2010). These wolves produced a trophic cascade, where a higher level of food chain affects a lower one. This cascade began by the wolves causing elk (Cervus elaphus) removal and relocation and led to trees quintupling in size. Seeing the positive effects wolves had on trees, more national parks and states began facilitating this natural ecology…

Directly next to the bush is a raw umber bison running away in distraught. On the ledge, there is a mother possum and her dim grey kids savaging to something of interest. To the right of them is a Nero tree that is either dead, or just sprouted, because it wasn’t on fire but it was leafless. Above…

mountains of Arizona. There was a tribe of navajo indians that lived on the edge of the colorado river. The chief of the tribe Qaletaqa Golden was having a meeting with the elder. They were meeting about a hunting trip in the mountains for elk and bison. The chief's son Wakkan was a very scared of everything maybe even scared of his shadow at times. But Wakkan was an avid hunter and fisherman. Some people would even say that he is the best fisherman of the tribe. As the day wears on…

Dakota Badlands, many of his personal concerns gave rise to his later environmental efforts. Roosevelt was a sportsman hunter all his life, hunting the big game of North America before they all die out. Once there were great herds of animals such as bisons that roamed across the field as far as your eye can see. But now there’s only little herds of them, almost going extinct in just two decades. Although he had many hunting trips and successful kills, he was laced with lament for the loss of…

Researchers revealed that the shading was made using the “stamp drawing” technique (Herzog, 2010). Further in the cave, they found a bison figure which was drawn using black paint on a wall that has a great deal of bear’s scratch marks. Researchers believed that those scratch marks were made before the period of the cave artworks. In addition to the bison design there are additional painting were discovered later in the cave like the horse, owl, black lions and rhinos with different techniques…

to prey on species everything will be perfect in the ecosystem. However, Edwin Wollert in his article on the eradication of wolves proves that this is false. One example is that people like seeing the elk and bison, so park managers kill off wolves and other animals that prey on elk and bison. But then the elk increased in such high numbers, due to not being hunted by wolves, that they consumed all the vegetation they could reach, including the trees used by beavers. The beavers were the ones…

Although the Mandan and Hidatsa were primarily farming peoples living in settled villages along the Missouri River, they relied on the bison hunts for their major source of protein. During the hunt, the village traveled together to slaughter, prepare, and transport the bison. From mauling by injured bison to death in childbirth because of the lack of rest or adequate care, hunting deaths were expected and gave rise of an adapted burial ritual. When individuals died…
