1967, Eurycea Rathbuni was listed as an endangered species, and within ten years it was entered into a breeding program at the San Marcos Fish Hatchery.3,6 The Texas Blind Salamander is a Eukaryotic organism that belongs to the Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Amphibia; Order: Caudata; and Family: Plethodontidae.5 All members of the Class Amphillia contain a vertebrate and four legs.7 Animals within this classification must also lay their eggs in water otherwise they will die…

Ursus americanus luteolus, also known as the Louisiana black bear, is a big mammal that can be found along the Lower Mississippi River Valley. This solitary mammal weights between 200 to 400 pounds and it is characterized from other black bears for having a longer, narrower and flatter nose, with larger molar teeth. It has a life cycle similar to many other types of bears; they spend their first couple of years with their mothers. During winters they den, and when they become adults they mate.…

Giraffe The scientific classification of the giraffe is the Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Artiodactyla, Family: Giraffidae, Genus: Giraffa, and Species: G. Camelopardalis (Giraffe: The Facts). Giraffes are found in savannas, grasslands and open woodlands in Africa. Each subspecies lives in a different area of Africa. They range from eastern, central and southern Africa (Basic Facts About Giraffes ). During the dry season, giraffes are found near water holes and…

James Lovelock, fundamentally formulated the theory that our Earth is unique and complex because the Earth is a self-regulating system that replenishes itself for the species, in order to maintain homeostasis, within the system. Lovelock interestingly familiarizes our Earth to the nature of human beings, such as the Earth’s skin are forests that sweat to preserve the cooling of the Earth, while the oceans are rivers of blood that flow through the veins of Earth transporting nutrients and washing…

domestic dogs include golden retriever, beagle, and Brussels griffon. Aside from domestic dogs, there are wolves, foxes, and coyotes all fall into one particular family, Canidae. The classification of Canidae starts in domain Eukarya, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Carnivora, then family Canidae. The history of Canidae was said to begin from class Prohesperocyon, around 40…

from prokaryotic domains. Furthermore, they are classified in the Animalia kingdom because they are not prokaryotes or protists. Next, Sea Stars fall under echinoderms, which are invertebrates characterized by their hard, spiny skin. The echinoderm phylum consists of mostly sea creatures (Pawson & Miller, 2016). Organisms placed in the Asteroidea class are identified by their arms that extend from a central disk, ability to regenerate their limbs, and a complete digestive system (Mulcrone,…

Coral reefs are Anthozoans. Scientists classify them as animals. They are the largest class of organisms in the phylum cnidarian. There are more than six thousand species. Coral reefs are communities of living things. They are known as the “rainforests of the oceans.” This is because there are sea slugs, oysters and many other creatures living there. Corals are animals related to anemones and jellyfish. They extend their tentacles to sting. A polyp is an individual coral consisting of a stomach…

Symbiosis is the interaction between two different organisms in an environment and the effect they may have on each other, if any. When observed in nature, these encounters can illustrate the complex relationship among organisms and how their survival is directly affected. Neutralism, for instance, is a relationship in which neither of the interacting symbionts benefit nor suffer. Mutualism, on the other hand, is a relationship in which both symbionts are physiologically dependent on one another…

The Homarus americanus also known as the true lobster, the northern lobster, and the Maine lobster play a imperative role in the ecosystem. They are a ample source of food for America and all around the world because fishermen harvest such preponderant amounts lobster. Sometimes they are over fished so places such as the European Union, Canada, the U.S, and New Zealand are starting the manage the amount of lobsters harvested so that fishermen do not deplete the source. The reason they are so…

“Not all those who wander are lost,” a line from the poem All That Glitters Is Not Gold by J. R. R Tolkien tells how even if you are on a journey and you don’t know quite where your destination is, it can be worth the while. In this unit, we learned about multiple journeys that can convey how the journey is important to gain life long experiences and build upon courage in order to set off on your own. On this journey, we can see some heroes, a hero can be defined as someone who even in the…
