Coyote

I am writing in regards to an important environmental issue that is of concern to the citizens of Oregon. As you very well known, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) killed two wolves last August. …they then went on to kill two more. These actions were taken at the request of industry livestock ranchers. These actions are something that need to be put to an end. Did you know the wolf population is lower than it was in 2015 when wolves were removed from the endangered species list?…

Wolves started at a small variety, men killed them off in hundreds, then they were put on the endangered list in 2000, and wolves from canada were brought to the Flathead valley and Yellowstone. After 10 years there numbers were over what they had been before they men were killing them. Slowly at first they started killing livestock and elk. With the wolves population so high why would the humans take a hands-off when they weren’t killed for 10 years. The Fish & Wildlife service need to watch…

The title of the article "Why Killing Coyotes Doesn't Make Livestock Safe" is an effective hook because it draws in readers from both sides of the debate it discusses. Conservationists will be concerned with wildlife populations, and owners of livestock will be interested in the safety of their own animals. Megan M. Draheim's article follows up on its title with a startling introduction: the US government's Wildlife Services killed more than 70,000 coyotes in the year of 2016. Despite the fact…

Some socially monogamous species follow a system of cooperative breeding, in which helpers within a group help assist in taking care of offspring of other parents. This increases the chance of survival of the offspring, and provides them with care such as grooming, training, and guarding. Because of the way that offspring are raised within cooperative breeding species, the fitness of offspring is greater than offspring who are not given aid by helpers. I will be discussing research done on this…

Interesting Facts about the Dire Wolf There are many interesting facts about the dire wolves just as with other animals, however since the dire wolf does not exist anymore, there are many people who take it that the dire wolf is nothing but a mere myth. Interestingly, the dire wolf is not a myth; they actually existed before they went extinct after the last ice age. The dire wolves were known scientifically by the name Canis dirus, and they actually existed, inhabiting North America as well as…

Did you know that dogs has been here for over thousands of years? Dogs have changed over time. They have went from wild wolfs to little home pets. They were huge fierce hunting dogs to small and cute pets. Dogs took a big change over time. The relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time because wolves become dogs and dogs became pets. Around thirty five thousand years ago is when humans became friends with dogs. Humans used their dogs to hunt and to scare off any threats.…

The wolf hunting and trapping season should be outlawed because other animals are being injured in the process. These days’ trappers have been catching a lot more than wolves. Some among the list include mountain lions, eagles, fishers, deer and even family pets. In January, a National Park Service employee accidentally stepped into one, just outside Glacier National Park. The next month, a dog got three of its legs caught in two different traps at once. Also, the season is risking injuries of…

After reading "Scared To Death" by Ed Yong, I learned the term "landscape of fear." A landscape of fear is a map of the effects the predators have on their prey. The effects of long-term fear among the prey population just because of the presence of the prey is graphed into a map of sorts. Some people don't believe animals can experience long term fear, but a researcher named John Laundre is changing this notion. We know they experience short-term fear during a chase or when a predator is about…

The Timber wolf one of the most widely spread animals, have rapidly become extinct in the areas of its former living environments. The timber wolf is also known as the grey wolf,Tundra wolf, or Plains wolf. The complete classification of the Timber wolf is as follows… domain:eukaryote, kingdom:Animalia, phylum:Chordata, class:mammalia, order:camilora, suborder:caniformia, family:canidae, genus:canis, and the species:c. lupus.The main points in this paper will focus on the habitat,physical…

Wolves, Spells, and Again! also contains lessons to be learnt from each of them. In Wolves, there are three lessons to be learnt. The first is to stay away from wolves, as they are dangerous animals. The second is to stay aware of one’s surroundings, as there might be danger lurking. The rabbit was so absorbed with the book, that he/she did not notice the nearby wolf. The third is to not judge a book by its cover, which comes from the alternate ending, where the fierce and dangerous looking…
