Orcas in the wild swim up to 100 miles every day, in a zoo they are locked into a small cement box. Polar bears have evolved to live in hundreds to thousands of square kilometers and are forced to live in zoos millions of times smaller than the size of their natural home. This shows just a glimpse of how awful zoos are for wild animals who should be out roaming in their natural home for miles upon miles, only stopping when they are tired. In zoos, the animals are confined to the walls humans put…

1. Introduction The most recent research lines are based on understanding wild paralarvae behaviour and prey preferences, refining paralarval nutrition and rearing conditions for O. vulgaris welfare (Iglesias and Fuentes et al., 2014). In the culture of cephalopods, the paralarval life stage is a critical period, especially for octopuses. During this period, the paralarvae must initiate the consumption of a suitable diet to grow, requiring stable conditions for proper development (Iglesias &…

dependent on forest ecosystems, are quietly going extinct—at a rate faster than at any time since a comet smashed into Earth 60 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs” (1). Deforestation is eliminating shelters, destroying hunting grounds for carnivores, taking away food sources of herbivores, and, essentially, killing off every species besides humans and their domesticated animals. When one species is threatened, another animal who relied on that species for food is threatened, and…

Gas Exchange + Transport Pulmonary circulation: circulation from heart to lungs Systemic circulation: circulation from lungs to organs Gas exchange is the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the blood and the movement of carbon dioxide from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs in the capillaries, which are microscopic vessels in the lungs. In humans, nutrients and oxygen are transferred through the bloodstream. Cells can’t rely solely on diffusion, so this transport system is important…

The national treasure of China, the giant panda, is considered one of the most endangered species in the world. The habitat of the giant panda was significantly affected by the climate change, especially the global warming, which therefore increased the living difficulty of the giant panda. Hence, in order to protect the giant pandas, we need to establish more nature reserves with more understory bamboos. Understory bamboos are not only an important food source for the giant pandas but also a…
