Fur

lots of different places. Jim Bridger is the first “white-man” to see the Great Salt Lake. He was on an expedition or kind of like an adventure with a bunch of other explorers, and other fur trappers like himself. He also was a fur trapper and had a very successful career. He was one of the few members of a fur trading company. He was the youngest member of the group expedition. (He was only 17 years old.) He was also a wilderness guide for people. As I mentioned, he is the one who found the…

There was a Husky and a Hyena and they were best friends.They were friends for a long time and they both wanted to live together. So the Hyena came to live with the Husky but he was very cold and he did not want to tell his friend that he was really cold. But the Husky stared straight into his eyes and he could tell that he was very cold. So the Husky walked up to his friend and shouted you look like you are cold and the Hyena replied that he was cold. Since the Hyena was cold the Husky sent…

anyone would have to think twice before mistaking one for the other. Chinchillas, the precious balls of fluff that God’s gift to the great desert regions of Earth. These fuzzy little creatures are remarkably clean kudos to the impenetrable coat of fur they wear that prevents not only predators but also parasites, and by preventing parasites, I truly emphasize the word prevent. The…

Fort Rouille was built in 1720 and served the French until 1759. The fort was the last fort to be built in Toronto and served a big role for the French during the fur trade. For those of you who don’t know what the fur trade is it was a huge part in Canada's history. In the fur trade the French and British fought and even killed each other just to trade with the natives. They traded goods like iron tools muskets and ammo and many other things to help the natives The wording on the monument…

They are the second smallest marine animals, but the heaviest of the Mustelidae family. Instead of having blubber, like other marine animals, they have a thick fur, which is the densest of any in the Animal kingdom. Most of the otter species have now become endangered, with numbers that used to reach a million, but due to history’s fur trade, their numbers have fallen to just 106,000 worldwide. Female sea otters can live up to twenty years in the…

have soft gray fur with long bushy tails. They have short forelimbs and long, muscular…

in water and on land. There are 13 known species of otters that inhabit areas around the world Otters have a thick coat of fur which enables the otter to be warm in near freezing waters. There is also a series of thin hairs under the otters fur that help to trap air and keep the otter warm. The river otter may be found, in the water, typically have slender body with brown fur, and they mainly eat animals that may be found by the water. The playful North American river otter is equally at home…

An average a fully grown sun bear will weigh between 30kg and 60kg and will be 120cm to 150cm tall. A sun bear’s fur is also short and thick so that their fur doesn’t get stuck on branches but can still offer protection from branches so the sun bear doesn’t get scratched. Sun bears also don’t have fur on the bottom of their feet so climbing is easier. Sun bear’s commonly have black fur but can also be a dark brown, grey or red. Sun bears also have a yellowy-orange crescent shape on their chest…

10. Is it a beard? Is it a clown's frilly neck poof? We don't really know. But check out the crazily posh, over the top neck fur on this critter. Frilled lizards would be envious. In fact, the so called king of beasts -- the African male lion -- would be envious. All that furry drama, drawn up in a surprisingly conservative black, white and gray color scheme, as if to intentionally set off the topaz eyes as stunningly as possible. Could you be any more subtle, sophisticated and dramatic all at…

typical child his age. This is intensifies when he steals money and runs away to New York. In Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” the main character is an older woman who, instead of interacting with others and living her life, chooses to put on her fur coat and watch as people meander around her. The characters seem to stand in stark difference; a young boy and an old woman, which leads to them using different mechanisms to isolate themselves but their self isolation lead to the same distortion…
