“Nutria, A Rat-like Pest Ravaging Gulf Coast Wetlands, Can Be Lured With New Substance” by Stevens Institute of Technology introduce the reader to a new possibility when it comes to controlling the nutria rat population in Louisiana. A 10-pound rodent that is ravaging the southern wetlands since it arrived here. Most of the damage “to the marshland ecology in the Mississippi Delta following Hurricanes Rita and Katrina” (Stevens Institute of Technology 1). The biology of the nutria rat provides…

complete control of his/her visual sense. Kittens too were found to have great sense of perception as soon as they were able to move on their own at about 4 weeks old. However, for the rats it was a different story. They did not appear to show any preference towards the shallow side of the table, but this may be because rats use the sense of smell to travel. The worst animal to perform on the visual cliff was the turtle. They might have preferred the deep side of the cliff because their natural…

According to the story of Noah’s Ark, when mice and rats bred and infested the whole boat, Noah consulted the lion. The lion sneezed, and out popped two domestic cats, ready to go! While this is most likely not how the domestic cat was created, it goes to show that cats have been around as useful and companion animals for a very long time. Despite my mother’s oh-so-strong argument of “because I said so”, every house should have a cat because they hunt vermin, are easy to care for, and are…

HOW TO GET RID OF BED BUGS FAST Bed bugs are flat, small and wingless insects that mostly feed on blood. You can find them in homes and you can easily transport them to different places through luggage, clothing and furniture. These tiny insects hide easily from view during the day when they are not active. Their preferred habitat is usually our homes. They hide in mattresses, bed frames and bedding, furniture, carpets, clothing and other household furniture. Bed bugs are parasites that operate…

A cat, every afternoon, waited in his backyard by the shed. He waited for the mice to run around so he can gobble them all up, but one day one of the mice got away. So the cat chased the mouse all over the yard. Up and down and, down and up until the mouse went under the house where the cat couldn't reach him. The next day the cat waited by the house and again the cat chased the same mouse and the mouse got away. This continued every afternoon until one day, while the mouse was stuffing it's…

cardboard boxes and crates. This relates further into the story by interconnecting the settings with the places they travel to and situate them like they would be in real life. 8. Father Julliard and Olivier play a role in the lives of Raphael, Gardo and Rat as being their Mission school teachers, working a volunteers.

If he had payed attention, he would have not been killed in the end. In this house, he encounters strange events, and strange symbols, but does not pay attention…

I got my food, affection, and my mission from Super Animal Co. This time it was Mr. Rat. (My Main Nemesis) He decided it was a good idea to release his henchmen, disguised as mailmen, to start fires all over the state. I flew over the city until I reached Mr. Rats underground lab. I crawled up the long and narrow pipe hoping not to be caught. Once I got down, I snuck back behind the large computer program Mr. Rat owned and called M.O.U.S.E (Manuel and Organized program Used for Security and…

demonstrated. The author also mentions how some scientist criticized that perhaps it was not the enriched environment that produced that brain change, but rather the how the rate was handling or stress. In addition, argument was made that the impoverished rat was stressed, and that’s what made that change in the development of the brain. In the further addition, the authors mention that others studies suggested that the effect on growing brain can either be reduced or increased, based on how the…

The lion and the mouse by Jerry Pinkney is one of my favorite picture books by any author. I remember seeing the cover of the book when I was at the library looking for a new book to show the class where I was an assistant teacher and it was my first time for story time. The main point of this story was how the lion had the choice of either eating the mouse or letting him go free. The mouse small in size but there is much he can do for him in return. At first I thought the children might not be…
