Imagine a picture perfect proposal. Is it a man getting down on one knee and presenting a sparkling diamond ring to his now fiancee? While there is nothing wrong with a grand romantic gesture like a proposal, there are a few issues revolving diamond engagement rings. It has become a tradition for female brides-to-be to flaunt them, but how did this originate and why do we still do it today? Because they serve no real meaningful purpose, diamond engagement rings should not continue to be used in…

Their minds don’t automatically interpret the meaning of things, such as symbolism, deeper meanings, figurative language, and other literary devices. On the other hand, the super-very-awesome people think of things in a creative may. Their brains tend to notice the various literary devices and alternative meanings and…

The Tasmanian devil is an apex predator and the largest marsupial carnivore. Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD) is a highly aggressive, transmissible cancer that is decimating the Tasmanian devil population and threatening the species with extinction in as little as thirty years (Brüniche-Olsen et al., 2016). The disease first showed up in 1996 and a second transmissible cancer in devils was discovered in 2014. This disease has since declined the population 95% in some areas while spreading to…

Orcas (Also known as killer whales and blackfish), are the largest member of the dolphin family. They are known for their great size and black and white markings. Wild orcas live in oceans and seas all over the world, but are abundant in Iceland, Antarctica, and the Pacific Northwest. Captive orcas live in marine animal water parks such as SeaWorld and Marineland. In this report, I will be discussing the hunting, social behavior, similarities to dolphins, the reason behind the killings of…

danger of becoming extinct (Zapato). The Tree Octopus is thought to have originated in the roots of Puget Sound, and that is where its reproductive cycle began. They leave their homes and begin to travel to Olympic National Forest every year to start mating. They migrate towards the shore, and eventually to their spawning grounds in Hood Canal. This is where they find mates and congregate. It is the only real social time of their lives. The male deposits his sperm, returns to the forests, while…

The temperature that the beetles were keep at was significantly higher than their ideal temperature that they typically experience in countries like African or Asia, where they are typically consider pests. This could have led to a change in the mating behavior that they typically exhibit in the wild resulting in skewed data. Adjusting the temperature to more closely watch that of countries like African or Asia would have fixed the issue. Furthermore, the small size of C. maculatus eggs made…

walk upright taking the first faltering steps towards becoming human beings.Time and changing, and the struggle for survival continued shaping us. Along the way, social groups became the key to survival, and the human family evolved as pleasure of mating. In their struggle for survival these creatures found saving advantages in a new way of walking.instead of scampering on all fours, as usual, they stood upright and gradually and no doubt unsteadily at first, began to walk on their hind…

love with your soulmate? Fear is what stopped them, it overcomes people's emotions. In that period, you cannot fall in love, get married, have children together.

to overcome hardships, but they won’t die from withdrawal. They only depend on each other because they are so in love. I also love how in the romantic relationships that actually work out, the characters don’t force things onto the other, such as mating bonds. When I say that I love the relationships, I don't just mean the romantic ones. Sarah shows how females can be friends without tearing each other down. This is especially clear with Aelin and Lysandra’s relationship, which, by the way, I’m…

referred to cats as “mau,” a fox is not, in fact, named after the noise it makes. Foxes don’t have nearly as many vocalizations as dogs; ask any dog owner what their pet is like and they’ll reply that their dog howls, whines, barks, and yelps. During mating season especially, foxes can scream. Unfortunately for the rest of the animal kingdom, the scream sounds horrible; in the words of Dan Nosowitz, journalist for Popular Science, a fox’s cry is a “shrill, hoarse scream of anguish ... it…
