Los Angeles Zoo Primates Our day at the zoo simply started with the objective of completing our visit, by seeing at least one each of the primates of each category around the zoo. That was quickly discarded considering that amount of information that the zoo provided for us about each individual creature. Because of the way that the zoo was structured we were unable to simply follow a particular order in which the animals were categorized. We visited all the different primates (as much as we…

The Animal Book Chapter 1: Animal characteristics Chapter 2: Body Parts Body plans refer to similarities in development, structure, and function among members of a particular group (phylum). At some point, members of that group share the same body plan during their development process. Which could be a possible explanation for shared structural plans that have been observed in the anatomy and embryology. Timing, pattern, and scale of development determine the organism's shape, and closely…

A Fearful Existence Tullian Tchividjian once said, “The deepest fear we have, 'the fear beneath all fears,' is the fear of not measuring up, the fear of judgment. It's this fear that creates the stress and depression of everyday life.” The fear of the physical pain that things such as sexual harassment and violence can cause the surface fear, but beneath that is the fright of judgment caused by these events. Sexual harassment and violence can cause psychological effects of fear and insecurity in…

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Fearsome Battle in the Enchanted Forest The silver sun was slipping out of sight, as we inched our way over a rickety wooden bridge. On the far side, there was a tiny path leading down a slight slope. Not even a path really, more like clues—a snapped twig here—some tramped down weeds over there.

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would…
