because we see the constellations at different times of the year for the different seasons- spring, summer, fall, and winter. Since the Earth orbits the Sun we do not get one constant area of constellations. The constellations we see in the summer are not the same ones we see in the winter. We never see the same constellation all year long. Unless the constellation is circumpolar. There are only five circumpolar constellations: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Cassiopeia. These are visible all year long and when trying to find other constellations are great guides. During winter, the summer constellations are in the sky the same time as the Sun, which is why they are not visible to us and we see them only during summer. This is why Orion and the winter constellations are only visible during winter. There are 12 main constellations that make up the winter constellations. Each having its own main stars or star clusters. These 12 constellations make up our winter night sky. They are Cancer (the Crab), Canis Major (the Big Dog), Canis Minor (the Little Dog), Crater…

Gray wolves were rescued from the brink of extinction when the government abolished the law that organised the extermination of wolves on federally owned lands, which led to the slaughtering of more than 25,000 wolves. After the Senate withdrew the gray wolf from the endangered species list, in 2011, the slaughtering of wolves began to escalate again. This caused wolf hunters to fall deeper into their paranoid fantasy that wolves represents a liberal conspiracy against farmland and livestock.…

Have you ever wondered where dogs came from, or how they have changed? Dogs have been around us for many years. It all began when wolves started to get close to humans and later on became more like dogs by the change in their features and bodies. It is said that dogs come from the gray wolf.

Coyotes or Canis latrans Coyotes are most commonly found in the desert and arid areas of the world, whether it was found in the desert, the tundra, or any other barren place of the world. Coyotes have evolved to this type of climate by decreasing need of calories, as the larger food is scarce. They have also evolved to be in a pack to help take down more significant food sources, like elk and deer. Coyotes, though they share DNA with many other animals have evolved to have a better…

Thirty to forty thousand years ago the world was in the midst of the last ice age. The ancestors of some of our modern day mammals grew to 3 or 4 times their sizes today, such as the mammoth and the giant sloth. Everything was much larger, furrier and slower than today in order to conserve heat to survive. a. Humans of this era were nomads, or hunter-gatherers, that moved along with the herds, since there was little to no vegetation other than in the immediate vicinity of the equator. b. And…

today as the domestic dog. They travel in packs, live for six to eight years in the wild, and are currently an endangered species (National Geographic). Natural selection has picked the wolves that live in the wild today based on which are the most fit to their environment, leaving the other less fit wolves out of the gene pool. Structural, behavioral, and reproductive adaptations as well as the environment and other physical features are the reason that wolves are the way they are today.…

Found in the wilderness of North America, the grey wolf, Canis lupus, is the largest canid. With most of its habitat covered by snow, ranging from the tundra, woodlands and mountains, the grey wolf has a thick coat of fur comprised of two layers. They have large paws with webbed toes that enable them to walk and travel through the snow. Wolves are social animals, with special glands and long tails to allow them to communicate with each other through both short and long distances, as well as to…
