Dire Wolf

The incisors are used to cut, the canines are used to grab and hold, the premolars or carnassial slice and the molars crush. The bit of a wolf is very powerful, much more than a dog's. For example, a gray wolf can deliver a crushing force of 1,500 pounds per square inch when it bites, enough to break bones. On the other hand, the bite of a German shepherd has a crushing force of around 750 pounds per square inch. Although…

In my opinion, Kristof’s slightly humorous tone is informal, but not inappropriate for his essay because it’s an obvious attention grabber. It’s nearly impossible to lose the reader’s attention from start to finish. In addition, his tone adds to his persona. Kristof confidently presents his ideas, examples, and opinions. He states everything rather bluntly instead of being cautious of what others might think of him. Tacit/implicit assumptions can be found in Kristof’s essay. For example,…

Both passages “The Cry of the wolf” and “Building confidence” develop a similar theme of take advice from people with experience in different ways. The theme of take advice from people with experience developed in “The Cry of the Wolf” because in the passage it states”the wolves began to move, swiftly but inaudibly, in a loping gait. They were running toward Sinwai! His legs weak and shaky beneath him, Sinwai deliberated: would the leader attack him? The chief’s words drifted back to him,Wolves…

The soldiers kept shooting at Two Socks just for the fun of it. Dances with Wolves strongly valued Two Socks. For that reason, the Indians would have never had a thought about killing the wolf. Dances with Wolves cared for so much. He wouldn’t kill anything just for fun. There were better things to do than kill. Americans killed anything, just for fun.

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. But the change of wolfs to little puppy dogs did not just happen over…

elk by killing the wolf, its main predator. They were wrong. A 30 year project to restore the wolf population was made, and the wolves made an amazing recovery. The wolves are now moving outside of Yellowstone and conservationists are looking to expand their range, however, many don’t agree with bringing the wolf back. But are wolves really a good thing? By the 1950’s, the wolf population in the lower 48 states had dropped from 2 million to just a few hundred. In 1987 the gray wolf was listed…

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…

Majority of the people think of wolves as carnivorous, ferocious and savage animals. Any person who has been able to catch a glimpse of any type of wolf will surely run for their lives since they are known for being one of the most vicious and blood-thirsty animals. Moreover, Animal Corner (2005) stated that wolves have indeed upright ears, sharp teeth, pointed muzzles, inquiring eyes and other facial features that instantly convey this personality. However, the reality is that wolves are…
