Hibernation

What is winter depression? A definition essay. As the seasons begin to change, we go from long hot days to leaves falling and cool breezes. Soon enough, the temperatures begin to drop, and the daylight turns to darkness. Daylight savings time makes its way in; falling back in time one hour. Excitement boils over for that extra hour of sleep. Sadly, some are faced with a serious condition. Winter depression affects many people, but what is it, what causes it, and how is it treated? Seasonal…

Another vertebrate that lives in the tundra is the polar bear. Polar bears can be found in northern areas of Canada, Alaska, Russia, and Norway. They are also located in various parts of Greenland. Polar bears are among the largest land mammals on earth. Males can weigh between 700-1400 pounds and stand between 8-10 feet tall. Females only weigh about 350-700 pounds. Polar bears appear to have a white coat, however, their hairs are really translucent and clear. The skin of the polar bear is…

when hunters hunt they may hit the target but at times may not receive what they hit. Due to the fact if the hunter did not receive his target the animal is slowly dying off or may be wounded for life. During the hunting season it disrupts most hibernation schedule and separates families. Also the rapid gunshot fire causes the animal to stress out, which leads to improper eating routines. If they have that going for them it makes it hard to store fat and energy for the cold winters. Secondly,…

landscape have flushed with spring foliage, the shades of green are without number, and even the air smells green: fresh cut grass, wet leaves, the forest covered in dew. The land is alive, and I feel like I’m seeing the earth wake up after a long hibernation for the first time in my life. When I walk out my door, I’m smiling, even when the kids are fighting, I have too many things to get done and not enough time, or when I’m falling over tired but I have to keep going. It’s amazing where God…

to maintain a breeding population for the last ten or twenty million years without a single fossil, bone, carcass, or reliable sighting”(‘general one”). Unlike bears, another large mammal, Bigfoot, as a primate, is physiologically incapable of hibernation. Some people think that Bigfoot is not real,so people think he is real. I think he is real people can’t joke about the videos,i think there is a lot more of his tribe that are still alive. Or maybe Bigfoot and his tribe were alive…

oligophagous/ phytophagous feeder (Cripps, 2013, Fujiyama et al., 2011). This beetle was well studied in its native range, particularly in North America, Japan and Europe (Majka and Lesage, 2008). Adult beetle is about 6 -8 mm in length and shows hibernation. Adults usually become active in early spring (Majka and Lesage, 2008), i.e. around mid-September…

on a summer night, my mom comes in and she asks me, “How would you like to go to Hawaii?” She asks “I would love that!” I reply She smiles and walks out of the room for about 2 weeks we plan out our vacations like animals planning for hibernation. We pick the hotel, and our rental car. After two days, we’re ready to go. My dad wakes up my brother and I to get dressed. I put on a red long sleeve shirt and some regular blue jeans. Once all of us were dressed, we head to the airport.…

the lake mostly. For the second tropic level, it consists of primary consumers, known to be herbivores as well. One specific kind of herbivores I observed in the park, like last time was squirrels. The squirrels were continuing to find food for hibernation. In the higher tropic level, most of the species are considered to be carnivores. I did not find carnivores throughout the park, but I am sure they exist there during the nighttime hours. The poor animals must be freezing during these horrible…

of the family, george was always the spoilsport of the few. Always skipping birthdays and celebrations and practically sleeping 24/7. “No, I said to wake up!” Jeff, the 12 year old slowly waltzed out the room with the expression of a bear after hibernation on his face.…

The topic of this research paper is about black bears. I chose black bears because a couple of weeks ago. I got the opportunity to go to a man’s house and see his pet black bear. His bear is roughly 400 pounds. He has had her for 21 years, and got her when she was a cub. How he got her was, he works on the railroad. One day someone over there and had her and he said to the man ,“Do you have a permit for her, if you don’t you need one in the state of Indiana. I’ll be right here tomorrow if you…
