used to reproduce and make a unique being. The animal I am focusing on is the red kangaroo. The red kangaroo uses sexual reproduction. This chosen type of reproduction is a good choice because kangaroos are very strong and don't fight unless it's for mating or for territory.

It did kind of scare me since it’s been awhile since I heard one of them howling like that. I felt that it’s mating season for the coyotes because I only hear that type of howl…

The Importance of Bees in the Environment and a Guide to Beekeeping Honey bees live in highly intricate communes or colonies of as many as 100,000 bees; the largest population of bees in a beehive are worker bees, which are unfertile females. Worker bees also perform most of the work in the beehive. The work includes gathering nectar, water and pollen and cleaning and feeding the queen. The other functions performed by the worker bees are cooling or heating the beehive, whenever it is necessary;…

maharaja, he states as his reasoning that it would be more realistic because she would see security and resources, whereas the poor sitar player would have uncertainty and possible abandonment. He is referencing back to the idea that women would select a mating partner based on the perceived ability to support her and her possible offspring (Ghiglieri, 1999).

In Luc Jacquet's March of the Penguins we get to follow emperor penguins as they make their annual march to their breeding grounds in Antarctica. We get to see how penguins court each other and how penguin chicks are dependent upon the participation of both parents in order to survive it's first few months. While the movie shares some compelling facts about the penguins it also distorts the viewers in the way that it's narrated. Does the documentary shares similarities to Flaherty's Nanook of…

attempt to achieve these means, one of these methods is called coloration. Coloration is important because it allows residents of the reef to communicate with each other in very simple terms, but also very effectively. These communications include mating or warnings to other residents. For example, many gobies and wrasses have blue or black lines that identify them as cleaner fish. This gives them a certain level of immunity from other predators because of the services that they provide.…
