Cowardly Lion

are born, weighing 5 – 10 ounces. As the cubs grow, the mother teaches them how to hunt and other essentials, cubs stay with their mothers for 1 ½ - 2 years. Even under a mother’s, watch 90% of cubs still die before they are three months old because lions and hyenas often eat them. If they do make it to adulthood, the cats only live for around 10 – 12…

The Snow Leopard Central Asia’s high mountains contain and is home to one of the most majestic carnivores known to man. The beautiful snow leopard can easily be recognized by its long tail, large black spots and almost white coat. Declining due to loss of habitat and climate change, there are as few of 4000 snow leopards in the wild. The earth has six major biomes. Tropical, grassland, desert, temperate, taiga and tundra. The snow leopard lives within the tundra biome. The snow leopard…

Tragelaphus angasii (Nyala) of the Bovidae family, known and familiar to southern Africa, can be observed and studied for the size of its elaborate, slightly twisted horns. This trait can be seen as an adaptative trait due to the variety of horn lengths and sizes in Bovids, as well as a heritable trait, due to the continual frequency in horns throughout generations, in the species of Nyala. The adaptivity and heritability of this trait can be analyzed through the natural history of the species…

To start off, I came up with the idea of a tiger as the head, as it is a national symbol, and it is the national animal of Malaysia. While the tiger also indicates bravery and agility in the Malaysian culture. Whereas, I used the orangutan because it is indigenous in the island of Borneo which includes parts of Malaysia. However, the orangutan is often seemed to show happiness and fun. Moreover, I used the Malayan tapir, because it is indeed a unique creature, due to the fact it almost resembles…

Disney’s Zootopia is a production filled with a not so subtle hidden agenda. This movie focuses on specific discriminatory struggles that people face every day. Zootopia is a euphoric city where, “our ancestors first joined together in peace and declared that anyone could be anything” (Judy, Zootopia). Predator and prey are able to live in harmony after predators were able to overcome their biological urge to hunt prey. Once predators overcame their “savage ways”, the world became civilized. The…

is too honest for self-justification. One cannot change themselves either. Sinfulness is to grand to overcome on ones’ own. There are some things only Aslan can do, and the only proper human response to these things is faith. As the Beavers in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tell Peter, it is no good trying to save Mr. Tumnus from the White Witch themselves: "It 's no good, Son of Adam . . . no good your trying... But now that Aslan is on the move... He 'll settle the White Queen all right.…

the captive lions exhibit stereotypic pacing behaviors around feeding times. To address the welfare concern of pacing in these captive lions, I would recommend a change in the way food is presented. Felids engage in appetitive behaviors to obtain their food (Shepherdson et al, 1993), and these behaviors include locating, capturing, killing and consuming their prey (Lindburg, 1988). Varying the method and timing of food delivery by either hiding food items in the exhibit for the lions to find or…

Adult emperor penguins weigh from 50 to 100 pounds and varies by sex, with males weighing more than females. It is the fifth heaviest living bird species, after only the larger varieties of ratite (CRC Handbook of Avian Body masses by John B. F Dunning. CRC press (1992), ISBN 978-0-8493-4258-5). Like all penguin species, emperor penguins have streamlined bodies to minimize drag while swimming, and wings that are more like stiff, flat flippers (Williams, Tony D. (1995). The Penguins. Oxford,…

The velociraptor is my favorite dinosaur due to its high level of intelligence. The velociraptor was a carnivore and when it hunted in packs one of the top predators of its time. When it was alone the velociraptor ate mainly lizards and other small animals. It could also be a scavenger. When the velociraptor hunted in packs though it could take down much larger dinosaurs like the hadrosaur. It also ate smaller dinosaurs like pterosaurs. The velociraptor lived during the cretaceous period. Its…
