however this horn was not ever used as a weapon. South (1987) supplements this statement by describing the horn as fleshy and soft, and therefore, incapable of causing harm. According to both South (1987) and Nigg (1995), the two scholars who describe the Chinese unicorn in great detail, the gentle, benevolent, and attractive qualities of the Ki’lin have given it a role in Chinese culture as a source of goodness and wisdom. The Ki’lin is also said to have resembled many different animals (South…

The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will…

First, their food is quite different from that of the Iroquois and the Sioux. Their common food includes seals, walruses, Beluga Whales, narwhals, caribou, Musk Oxen, Arctic Fox, Polar Bear, Arctic Hare, and arctic birds. They have a different variety of these foods because they live in a different and colder environment that produces the different foods. Secondly, their techniques for hunting…

Climate change is known to be the changes that happen to the normal climate pattern affecting the surface temperature, humidity rate, average density and rainfall rate, etc. climate change started to appear in the mid 20th century and onward. According to Noaa, (2016), data showed that the global temperature increased by almost two degrees. It seems to be not much but as scientists expected, it affected the global climate in a very negative way. Pollution, global warming, human activities and…

“Although many people assume that softball was derived from baseball, the sport’s first game actually came about because of a football game” (History 1). Softball was invented on Thanksgiving day in 1887 in Chicago, Illinois by a group of Yale and Harvard alumni. They were all just sitting around waiting for the outcome of the Yale vs. Harvard football game, when one of the alumni threw a boxer's glove at a harvard supporter. The supporter swung at the glove and everyone was interested by the…

The bestiary genre has existed for centuries, introducing and entertaining its readers with compilations of both stories and facts about creatures who are familiar, unfamiliar, real, and imaginary. In some aspects, Henderson’s The Book of Barely Imagined Beings, a 21st century bestiary, is no different, since it still incorporates beasts ranging from the fire-defying salamander to the intelligent macaque. However, in other ways, this bestiary diverges from previous ones. Henderson’s bestiary…

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, particularly in near shore annual ice over the continental shelf where biological productivity is highest. However, to a large degree under scenarios predicted by climate change models, these preferred sea ice habitats will be substantially altered. Spatial and temporal sea ice changes will lead to shifts in trophic interactions involving polar bears through reduced availability and abundance of their…
