There’s only one animal besides humans that can build a dam, the beaver. The beaver is a very exceptional mammal because it can create, modify, and control its habitat. Beavers typically inhabit the northern hemisphere, but have also been introduced in South America’s Tierra del Fuego (Cavendish). Beavers are the second largest rodents in the world and have many similar relatives such as the nutria (Cavendish). The main characteristic of a beaver’s habitat is its dam. A dam allows the beaver to…

Cygnus is Latin for ‘swan’, and has various mythological tales connected to it: the most widely…

In ancient history, citizens had to make a massive movement or overthrow government to make social change, which took them years to accomplish. The pace of social change is slow and accordance to history of this country. For example, interracial marriage took 180 years to be fully legal in any states of America (Tribou & Collins 2015), and women’s suffrage movement took 80 years…

I choose the Virgo constellation because that is my zodiac sign. Virgo is the Latin word for virgin. It is the second largest constellations and is visible from both the northern and southern hemispheres. Vigo has also been a constellation for 3,00 years. This myth revolves around a girl named Erigone. Her father's name was Icarius. He was a farmer and was friends with the God of Wine Dionysus.
