Predator

there’s a monster under your bed? Most of those thoughts come from horror movie creatures from zombies to vampires, but the creatures that really get to you are the big box office horror movie creatures Alien and Predator. Both the Alien and the Predator have characteristics that make your hair stand on end, but Xenomorphs will keep me looking under my bed long into adulthood. The Xenomorph, also known as Alien is a very aggressive endo-parasitiod extraterrestrial arthropodal species. Aliens are predatory creatures seeking the propagation of their species and the complete destruction of beings who pose a threat to their existence. They do that by implanting their embryos inside a host creature.…

Online Predators are an extreme danger on social media. With no real way for normal people to check a person’s real identity teens especially can and have become the victims of sexual assaults and murders committed by predators.

Studies show that 30% of teen girls are sexually…

The tactics used in the video Did an FBI Sting Operation in Vegas Cross the Line? (CBS, 2014) and the article Who’s the Predator? (Rogers & Stone, n.d.) represent the future of catching criminals in two ways. First it shows how using modern technology can help catch criminals. Almost everyone depends on the internet for communication. That is why the FBI agents who turned off the internet to the room of the illegal gamblers in Las Vegas were able to gain fast and easy access. The criminals…

literature on the indirect effect predators have on prey, and pondered that this perceived risk might have a greater influence on prey behavior and life history than direct predation. By consistently removing any possibility for potential predators to reach the nests of a population of song sparrows, as well as playing recordings of potential predators, the authors reported a 40% decrease in the number of offspring produced.

As they approached the beach, they saw the purple flags and no swimming signs. They asked the lifeguard why the purple fag was up, and the lifeguard said one word, “jellyfish.” Jellyfish can paralyze and kill other small animals, and sometimes they kill humans. Most jellyfish are transparent and have very long tentacles. These are good qualities for a predator. However, now you can buy anti-jellyfish sunscreen. Many cultures cook and eat jellyfish, and we are using them in medical research.…
