Carnivore

Similarities Felidae members are carnivores so the k9’s are an important part of the fossil record. The rough feet and sharp claws are meant for gripping things like trees or prey, so all felidae members have them. All species are carnivores and have keen eyesight. They also have an acute sense of hearing to locate prey. Most likely if there are felines in an environment, then they are one of the top predators and have the job of keeping lower levels from overpopulating. One…

growing in areas where there was a lack of a dominant carnivore. Coyotes (Canis latrans) play a role as a top predator by controlling smaller to medium sized mammals that share the same home range (where an animal regularly travels for food) as they…

the Late Triassic, when both therapsid herbivores and carnivores declined again and nearly disappeared. The rise in diapsid abundance and dominance was coincident with the Triassic synapsid decline. The rise of the diapsids was slow, and is likely attributed to the improved respiration in diapsids provided by their erect gait. What were the first dinosaurs like and where did they live? [4] The first dinosaurs were the agile, bipedal carnivores, Herrerasaurus and Eoraptor. Herrerasaurus and…

The Evolution of Polar Bears Laysa De La Torre Polar bears have a very interesting history as they are evolved from brown bears. It is very weird how they don’t hibernate but interesting to hear what happens when they don’t hibernate. Polar bears are actually very interesting even if you may not like them, you will soon be interested after reading this. Polar bears hair is white because, the air spaces in…

I am writing to express my view on your article about young carnivores. I disagree with few of your points. For instance, when you stated that everyone who eats meats are partially responsible for the death of animals, “just because you buy your meat shrink wrapped, doesn’t mean you’re not killer”. I think it’s very harsh to say that all meat eaters are killers, even though we didn’t directly kill the animal for it. You made strong point and I understand it but I don’t see how eating meat that I…

These Carnivores have a smaller population compared to plants and insects because if there population was larger they would consume the insects and plants before they have time to reproduce, this is an example of why some animals go extinct. Because our human population…

bone of this species resembles that of a red panda which supports taxonomic relationship placing it in the Ailuridae family, the same as the red panda. The Simocyon batelleri fossils suggest that traits such as tree living environments and hyper carnivore diets were present (Glatston, 2010). This trait which is also included in giant pandas, noting they are a different species than that of the red panda, challenge the hypothesis whether the red panda and giant panda are actually related. This…

Has mankind found its savior? Nationally(US) about 7.3 million people live primarily on a vegetarian diet while about 1 million of those are vegans. The vegetarian diet is a plant-based diet with the exception of animal product like milk, cheese, and eggs, the vegan diet is a vegetarian diet that eliminates animal product all together. A plant-based diet is sacred to many cultures and also is ideal for some because it is thought to take humans to another plateau of Physicality making you…

As human are getting more concerns on the quality of food for themselves, they also starting to care about what they feed their domestic pets. In recent years, raw meat-based diets (RMBDs) have become popular since the awareness of food quality arose. Many pet owners treat their domestic pets like family members and want to provide the best for their domestic pets, including food. This is a way of showing the love to the companion animals and strengthen the owner-pet relationship. Another reason…

natural part of our lives’ cycle. Although the evidence that meat eating has been a part of evolution seems logical, it collapses when one compares the bodies of carnivores to the bodies of herbivores and humans. “The Natural Human Diet” states: “Humans have short, soft fingernails and pathetically small “canine” teeth. In contrast, carnivores all have sharp claws and large canine teeth that are capable of tearing flesh.” The mouths of humans were not designed to tear apart the flesh of other…
