Frogs and Koalas both are being hurt by humans. Sometimes in a lot of different ways, but we still need to help them. Whether it’s changing the way we treat them or give them more places to live are some of the ways that we can help them. Some things we do risk their life or give them a boost for survival. The troubles that the Frogs are having are different than the Koalas. For instance the growing population of humans, humans need houses, houses need construction, which lets a lot of…

For this assignment, I have chosen write on the contrast between The Storm, by Kate Chopin and Mark Twain’s The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. In the mid to late 1800’s, both authors were widely popular and drew many crowds but both had their own, unique, way of telling stories. Between both of The Storm and The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, Chopin and Twain show how their own views, on life and the world around them, vastly differ from each other, and allows us to…

Many parents, when cleaning the house or completing other work, place their children in front of the TV and put on a movie. But what subliminal messages are being sent to the children which parents may be unaware of? Disney, a popular industry for children’s movies and television, has been proven to both positively and negatively affect the development of a child. Walt Disney has severely impacted multiple generations with movies which spread both morals and oppression. The positive effects of…

I spotted the Green frog or can be called “Lithobates clamitans” in the pond during our first lab looking for dragon flies. The scientific name is Rana Clamitans. Also, the frog was classified under Species. The green frog is very common and found all around in North America. The frog looked about full grown and was half in the water and half out the water soaking up the sun. It was a bright green color staying as still as can be, so it was hard to spot. It was a bright and fairly warm day, so…

Dendrobates tinctorius "azureus" is a medium-sized frog that weighs about 8 grams and grows to 3.0-4.5 cm in length. Females are larger and about half a centimeter longer than males, but males have larger toes. The frog has a typical lifespan of five to seven years in the wild. Its bright blue skin, usually darker around its limbs and stomach, serves as a warning to predators. The glands of poisonous alkaloids located in the skin serve as a defense mechanism to potential predators. These poisons…

and segregation in their movies. I have selected the animated film, The Princess and the Frog (2005). In the film, Tiana represents The Other of African American’s in the 19th century. In The Princess and the Frog, Tiana is faced with issues of racism, privileged whites, and achieving status. These are all reoccurring problems that African American’s were faced with during slavery. The Princess and the Frog was the very first Walt Disney…

Caleb Heathershaw Dr. Aresco BSC1010C 15 November 2017 The Ibex and the Frog: Cloning to Save Species Species are going extinct every day. Although new species are being discovered, losing the old ones has consequences. One method scientists are considering to keep species alive is a process called cloning. There are many misconceptions about cloning, and this paper will seek to clear up the reality of cloning extinct and endangered species. Now, we’re not going to see any dinosaurs roaming…

Mammalia. During the lab dissection, the class dissected organism from only four of these classes. First, we dissected the perch, which is from the Osteichthyes class. Second, we dissected the pig, which is from the Mammalia class. Then, we dissected the frog, which is from the Amphibia class. Lastly, we dissected the pigeon, which is from the Aves class. There are a lot of similarities between these four animals. However, there are many differences that allow for these animals to survive in…

Habitat loss and fragmentation, an overall decline in groundwater quality, water pollution incidents, water shortages and predation from feral populations such as ducks and competition from introduced exotics such as the common frog are all reasons for the decline of the Agile Frog. For this reason the States of Jersey aim to reduce all the possible threats to the region with the aim of steadying the numbers of both species. Firstly, one of the main threats…
