then there is a strong possibility that the population of black-footed ferrets could be re-bred with the same genetic variability of the wild population.

is greater than 0.05, which means that statistically, there is no significant difference between the two populations. Thus, the wild and founding population are not different. Surprisingly, even with the rapid decline in the simulated black-footed ferret population and with over 50% of the population dead, the 0.942 value illustrates that insignificant…

State officials and environmentalists are worried about the potential long term effects of the oil spill on the wildlife.

The Yellowstone National Park isn’t affected by the oil spill, but the 30 mile stretch that was polluted by the oil spill is affected. The 30 mile stretch includes a bird watching haven.

The Endangered Species Act, like many of the conservation acts, was put in place because people noticed something needed to be done. Although this act is very complex and can be confusing, it has been successful. Nonetheless, since many species are still listed or waiting to be assessed people criticize the act’s effectiveness. In 1966, congress passed the Endangered Species Preservation Act. This listed native animals as endangered and gave limited protection. The act was amended in 1969 to…

tasmanian devil is Sarcophilus harrisii, it is a most unusual mammal that closely resembles a dog or a ferret (San Diego Zoo).

Mice are helping people with cancer become less sick. Also, it also…
