The Second Amendment, the right to bear arms is a controversial topic. Our society seems crazed with the idea of owning semi-automatic AR-15 or military grade M-16s. While anyone who possesses a valid Firearm Owner Identification card also known as Foid, along with a clean and clear criminal record, can own any style of arsenal that they desire in the great state of Illinois. Most people who own firearms, use them to protect theirselves and loved ones as a form of self-defense, hunting or just…

nearby people. As a reminder, people that use weapons to attack, most often do not even possess concealed carry permits which means that the weapons will be used regardless of whether or not people are able to carry protection legally. The chances of predators using their weapons, however, decreases with the knowledge that others are possible carrying concealed weapons and have the means to defend themselves if needed. If people are uncomfortable carrying weapons, that is their personal…

protection because it blends in with it. When the mouse moves onto the black ground it stands out to the predators. Most of the animals that eat these mice are visual predators. When the experts start to collect the mice in traps they find out that the mice are starting too become darker. The mice that are living on the dark rocks have adapted their fur color so that they do not stand out to predators. When a darker mouse shows up in a lighter population of mice is usually due to a new mutation.…

and grabbing the prey, with the suction cups for holding and gripping. These squids live in deep ocean waters, down to 3,000 feet below the surface, with low oxygen. Since they live very deep waters, the squid have very few predators and if one comes in contact with a predator, it uses its ink sac to expel ink for escaping. The squid is a well survived organism using these adaptations along with reproduction and eating…

A saola is a animal that is critically endangered. It is considered to me the world’s most endangered large mammal. The saola was discovered in May of 1992 in a house of a hunters. A scientist has over at this hunters house ad noticed a animals head. The head was hanging from the wall and the scientist says “what is that”. That is how this new organism that they call saola was found. The scientific name is Pseudoryx nghetinhensis. They are a cousin with cattle but sola’s resemble an antelope to…

a way to escape or defend themselves. Owls have better mechanisms that ostriches for defense and catching food. Owls and ostriches are two drastically different animals and they both have different ways of hunting, eating, and getting away from predators. Everything about these two creatures is different, for good reason. An ostrich is made for running fast in the deserts and plains and various places, while the owl is made for flying high and soaring to get a better vision of sight. Owls…

They lay the eggs in flimsy nests made of twigs and trash. If they are on an island with no predators, they will just lay their eggs on the ground. They travel together in groups and fly in a V formation or in a line (Marine Station & F.P.). They will often fly over the ocean and “dive bomb” fish and scoop them up in their bill. Afterwards they…

due to births and deaths. These small groups are perhaps due to the peaceful nature of the species compared to other, more aggressive species of lemur, such as Lemur catta. The importance of the troop for this species is for effective avoidance of predators; there is evidence for lemurs gauging the potential danger from the reactions of other members of their troop as much as from environmental stimuli. Furthermore, the lemur learns about objects in its environment through imitating the…
