Black-footed Ferret

The Black Footed Ferret is a mammal that is a nocturnal carnivore, but is close to the brink of extinction. The ferret gets its name not only from the black colors around his legs, but also from the dark spots around its eyes, and tail. The Ferret’s body is about 15 to 20 inches long, with a tail of about 4 to 5 inches long. They have small legs, but sharp claws for digging their homes, or into the prey’s homes. They also have very strong jaws made for chewing meat of the prey. The Ferrets are native to North America, from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico. The Black Footed Ferrets were considered extinct in the 1970’s but were rediscovered in 1981. 2 surviving populations were found, with only 18 ferrets. The remaining 18 ferrets were then captured for captive breeding. As of 2013 estimates, 500 Black Footed Ferrets are in the wild, while 300 are still in captive breeding. They were relocated to Eight U.S. states, Canada and Mexico.…

The Black-footed ferret, Mustela nigripes, is in the order Carnivora and the Family Mustelidae. The Black-footed ferret (BFF) looks like that of a weasel, with a body that is long, slender, weighting up to two pounds, with yellowish fur, and black fur on their feet, legs, tail tip, and a mask on their face[1]. They are closely related to the Siberian polecat and the European polecat[1]. They are fossorial and nocturnal hunters that can be seen during the day[1]. Most of their diet is prairie…

Ferrets are very good pets but in California, they aren’t legal. Ferrets are not legal in California only and it doesn’t make much sense. The fact that ferrets aren’t legal makes sense; but what is weird is that California is the only state where ferrets aren’t legal. This text tells all about ferrets and why they aren’t and are legal. To a lot of people, they love ferrets and would do anything to legalize them. But there are others who don’t like ferrets; they have their reasons. There are also…

Perspective, the most powerful thing on earth. A statement of my own so therefore not entirely factual, but true none the less. The very definition of perception is, “The way you think about or understand someone or something (Unknown, 2016)”. Is this not the very thing that causes us to take sides in conflict or to act on something that doesn’t seem right? We are not born with the understanding that “White is Right” we are taught this from a very young age by our predecessors; our parents, our…

United States, especially with the increase of gun related violence in recent years. In this analysis I will be comparing and contrasting two political cartoons with opposing views concerning America’s gun politics. The first political cartoon that I have chosen to analyse was created by David Horsey and published in Hearst Newspapers in 2011. This cartoon is colored, and divided horizontally into two frames. One on the top and the other on the bottom. In the top and smaller of the two…

recognizable due to its vast surface area and color contrast, as previously stated. However, the finish and composition help distinguish it from other similar pieces, as well. When first approaching it, the piece seems to be a giant, flat print spanning from floor to ceiling and about stretches about twelve feet wide. Each side is roughly six feet wide. The piece itself was composed of vinyl and latex paint and is very reflective. The print on the left side is done in a black font with a white…

Krishna. While green, another universal symbol, represents agriculture and the harvest, it is also the color of Islam, one of the predominant religions followed in India. In the Indian flag, the color green symbolizes faith and fertility. Furthermore, in similarity of the American representation of purple, Indians connect deep shades of purple to wealth, luxury, and royalty. Orange, or better known as saffron, represents strength and courage on the Indian flag. Aforementioned are the most common…

In the painting Four Wooden Sculptures (Vier Holzplastiken) (recto)/ Ice Skater (Schlittschuhläufer) (verso), by Ernest Ludwig Kirchner two visual elements present are color and space. In both pieces, the artist uses the colors brown, black, red, white, green and blue in both paintings. In the ice skater piece, the blue symbolizes the sky, white equals snow, green means the ground, the brown and red colors outline the figure, the black shows the ice skates and face and gives the figure a sense…
