Out of the three careers, Fishing and Hunting workers, Masons, and Gaming Surveillance Officers. I would say that the job that would best fit my artistic, animal like mind, is the Fishing and Hunting workers. The three main points I will make is, they make great money for the type of education required, hunting animals is one of my hobbies, and knowing the different types of fish is also one of my hobbies, so why not take this job. For a job that you don’t need any type of education for, it…

The closest living relative to humans, the chimpanzees are dwindling in numbers and conservationist are alarmed. The Jane Goodall institute is sounding the alarm for worldwide change, or specific species will be extinct within a few decades. They have announced that the gorilla population (specifically, the eastern mountain gorilla) have dwindled in numbers, to less than 300 mature adults. What are the numbers dropping so drastically?

National Parks have been around since 1972 and every year about 282 million people come to the parks every year to witness the great beauty of them.

America may be not have old buildings and history that spans back thousands of years, but our nature is the pride and joy of the nation. Since national parks are so great, everyone wants to participate and come and see…

Outline and evaluate one learning approach One learning approach in psychology is the behaviourist approach. The main assumptions of behaviourism are that behaviour is a response to a stimulus and that what we do is determined by environment. Behaviourists also assume that learning processes are common to all species – meaning that there is little difference between humans and animals as well as believing that all complex behaviour is the result of learning through interaction and that people…

Weird at Last Earth is home to many weird and strange creatures, some that seem too weird to be real. With so many oddities that we know to be real, why can we say that a few more exist? One such strange creature is the Okapi. Before it became officially recognized as an actual creature, the only evidence of its existence were tales told by early explorers. It was Sir Harry Johnston that found real evidence: In 1900, during an expedition to the eastern edge of the Congo forests, he was able to…

With the belief for being a “jungle, Africans live with animals, and that make them have pitch-black skin” (Pryor). Furthermore, “Africa is a jungle where men only, as hunters, know how to kill animals for food for their families, and because they live with animals, they talk and dance like them” (Spears). With thick trees, plants, and brush, Disneyland African jungle river adventure highly amplifies the belief that Africa is a jungle. Disneyland attracts millions of people from different parts…

Some of the highlights of the museum include: -An African room, where you can see life size replicas of all of the most prominent animals that live in the African savanna. -A desert animal exhibit. To many people's surprise, there are many…

2.Briefly explain why it is important to learn the hardy-weinberg equation and what the equation allows us to study in terms of population genetics -It is important to learn it because it provides us with mathematical evidence that evolution will not occur under certain circumstances such as migration or mutation. Comparing populations to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium helps us better understand the mechanisms of evolution. With this equation, we can determine if a population is evolving. Under the…
