Mammal

Animals and humans both fall under on the mammal category and are located in the same kingdom. In the book, “Unlikely Heroes” by Jennifer S. Holland, people around the world share their stories of how an animal saved their life. There are many different short stories, but the rest are also stories of animals rescuing other animals. Whether it’s a dog saving a cat, fox, or llama, they are still amazing heroes that are not focused on what kind, color, or breed they are. Experimenting on a species…

what any human would want. Animals have just as much of a right to live their life as a human does. Even with the strict rules and controls with animal testing, it does not necessarily prevent researchers from abusing animals. The tests completed on mammals can cause death to rest upon them, which in a way is morally no different from committing a murder because you are killing a living thing. If the animal does not die and is re-contained for other experiments, the effect of being locked up…

Proliferation of Poaching Lions have been disappearing, populations have been going down, and not many people are doing anything about it. They are one of the most magnificent animals known to man, and they have fallen to an unspeakable crime that has almost wiped out an entire species of animals. Lions are the second biggest cat in the world. Their scientific name is Pathera Leo. The average lion can weigh up to 265 to 420 pounds and can be as long as 6 1/2 feet long. An easy way to identify…

than humans…everything about them is social--everything”. When these animals are separated from their families, they have no idea what to do--they become stressed and have anxiety because in the wild, orcas never leave their mother’s side. These mammals have their sense of self distributed to the others in their family, and when that is taken away from them, they do not know what to do—one could say that parts of them are lost. An orca researcher named Howard Garrett says, “Each community has…

Why Animals Shouldn’t Be Use For Research An estimated of 100 million animals are use in laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity experimentation, chemical, drug, food, scientific and cosmetics testing. In my opinion animals, testing shouldn’t be allowed because it isn’t right, it’s inhumane, cruel in every way. Animal testing is unnecessary when there is now alternative ways which do not involve the use of animals it’s also a waste of government money. Testing on…

Good afternoon, everyone. Well, with some of you about to go out on field work, it's timely that in this afternoon section. I will be sharing my ideas about the reason why groups of whale and dolphins sometimes swim ashore from the sea right on to the beach, and most often die in what are known as mass strandings. Unfortunately, this type of event is a frequent occurrence on some of the location that you will be travelling to. While sometimes the tide goes out suddenly confusing the animals.…

characteristics about the giraffe are its extremely long neck and legs. Giraffes have medium size ears, large eyes and horns call ossicones. Each giraffe’s coat pattern is unique like a human’s fingerprint. Giraffes are an African even-toed ungulate mammal, meaning they have two hooves on each foot. Giraffes live in savannas throughout Africa on open grasslands scattered with trees. There are nine subspecies of giraffe that are recognized. Each subspecies varies depending on the color of the…

Thesis: Whales are ecosystem engineers that maintain the health and solidity of the ocean. I admit, when you first hear me ramble about poop it may be hard to see the relevance in your life…But hopefully by the end you’ll become as obsessed as I am. Whaling is the practice or industry of hunting and killing whales for their oil (also called train oil), meat, or whalebone for over a thousand years. Meat and oil from these whales is sold in Japanese, Norwegian, and Icelandic food markets or given…

In all mammals, LCT is a gene that merely codes for the protein lactose which allows for animals to digest the breast milk from their mother. The human version of LCT however is very different than that. Human LCT codes for the production of lactase, a much stronger version of the enzyme that allows for humans to digest the milk of any type of mammal. The evolution of this gene actually happened twice separately in human history…

About Opossum: Appearance, Biology, Life Cycle, Habitat, Diet, and Behavior Opossums, unique pouched mammals or marsupials, are considered as successful survivors and settlers in varied conditions and locations. They are prevalent and, even sometimes sought after as sustenance, particularly within the southern part of the United States of America. Appearance A marsupial of American origin, the opossum has a tail similar to that of a rat and posterior feet having a upturned thumb without claws.…
