Predation

So, catnip does not work for every kitty. In fact, genetically-speaking, some cats lack a specific gene that creates that recognizable crazed response. So what if you really want to up your game during playtime, but your fuzzy little buddy can't be bothered with the green stuff? There are actually quite a few alternatives, some working in a similar fashion to catnip, others having a completely different mechanism of action. Today, we will discuss some of the more effective options and…

Plant predators, the vicious herbivores of planet Earth have many different adaptations that help ensure their survival in the wild. There are many different types of plant predators who have adapted to survive and live by solely eating plant material. One in such being that of the Tapir. The Tapir is said to be the largest mammal residing in the American rainforests. They feed on a variety of plants and plant material to guarantee that they do not become poisoned by eating too much of a certain…

The joys of keeping a kitten are too numerous to count. These tiny bundles of soft, fuzzy, pointy, excitable joy are so inexpressibly wonderful, it almost hurts. ...Hold on... let me just take a breath here! Anyway, if you'll notice from my little rant there, in addition to being soft and joyous, those same sweet kitties are also pointy and excitable, so kitten training is pretty much mandatory. But how on earth do you train one? I mean... they're just as stubborn as their adult…

In the film Zootopia by Disney, there are multiple themes that take place in the movie. A few of the themes are corruption, man vs. self, and fear. The most important theme that plays a huge role in the movie is segregation and it’s shown by man vs. society. In the beginning 0f the movie and towards the end of the movie, segregation is shown. When Judy Hopps, the main character, participated in a play she talked about the time when prey and predators were separated. They were separated because…

In an ecosystem it is all about balance. When the lynx population goes up, the Hares population down. The Hare population is always higher then the Lynx population because that is the Lynx’s food source. The population of Hares always spikes when the Fox population is around 500. This happens because the more foxes you have the more they eat in general. Once the Hare population was smaller then the Fox population the Foxes started to die off. Until the Hare regained in numbers. Their are many…

Many people are looking for more or new friends. If this is you, just buy a dog. Dogs have many great reasons for being better pets than cats. They make people more social, they make them happy, and they’re loyal. While people own dogs, they are very likely to go for a walk with their dog or go to the dog park. When they do these things, they usually run into other people that own dogs. If someone has a cat, they don’t usually walk their cats outside like people would do with dogs. Even at…

A 1,000,000 watt spotlight, a teakwood gripped handgun with high-powered ammunition, an elk’s heart, frozen, rounded off with a tape recording of a pig being eaten alive by bears playing on a massive outdoor amp. With these humble tools, the legendary Hunter S. Thompson wished his friend Jack Nicholson a happy birthday late in the evening. The recording blaring, spotlight shining, handgun discharged into the sky and elks heart, presumably, thawing on Nicholson’s doorstep. I would like to think…

Whew!, that was a great night hunt. I have never tried that hard for a hunt in my life, but while I was walking I heard a ship. My first thought similar to all of my thoughts were, “ A new hunt”.It had been a few hours since my last hunt, but I also had a feeling about that boat I saw earlier, but then I heard a knock. I asked Ivan to open the door, and then I overheard “I fell off a yacht, i am hungry”. Those words lit me up with joy, because I knew that my next hunt would come sooner than I…

The Hunting Camp From 2006 until 2010 my father, uncle, and I were all members of a hunting club. Although we were there to hunt, it was likely the smallest aspect of the trip. We spent more time around a campfire than we did in any tree stand. The camp, for me anyways, was broken into three major areas: the hunting grounds, the campgrounds, and the camper itself. It was in these places that I have some of my fondest memories that I enjoy revisiting. It was quite enjoyable for years, then for…
