SKUNKS: HOW TO GET RID OF THEM AND THEIR SMELL Skunks are some of the most famous among wild animals that all have a love-hate relationship with. While most of us dread encountering them, some have learned to domesticate them to use as pets. Their iconic black and white body is synonymous with an incredibly unpleasant smell they are famous for, skunks nonetheless love to be close to humans and are known for serial invasions of people’s garages and storage facilities. This has pushed many to go searching for how to get rid of skunks and their awful smell. Though most skunks are mostly indentified as black in color with a white strip running through their back, there are others that have various colors ranging from grey to cream, brown and ginger colors. They are mammals whose body length ranges from above 40 cm to about 95 cm, with varying weights from less than a kilogram to over 8 kg depending on the specific kind of skunk. Diet and Behavior Skunks are voracious eaters of almost everything. Known to be omnivores, skunks can munch on almost anything that crosses their path. They eat plants, earthworms, rodents, lizards, birds, grubs, moles, birds, eggs and even snakes! They are also very fond of eating berries, nuts and fungi. When living close to settled areas, skunks are routinely found scavenging on garbage as the rummage for anything that will keep their tummies busy. Skunks are nocturnal by nature and usually look for food at night. They live in burrows and only live…
The purpose of this research that is discussed in the article is to elaborate on the effects the Burmese python could have on the surrounding environments. An introduction of invasive species to a new land is one of the main factors that can negatively affect the environment. The Burmese python is negatively affecting the Everglades National park by decreasing many of the mammal populations. The scientists’ experiment is supposed to support the conclusion of how the Burmese python is affecting…
Block scheduling is more beneficial to students’ education. It gives the students more time to understand the material that is given, improves grades, as well as reduces disciplinary actions. As with everything some down falls, such as student’s attention span is less and problem with standardize testing. After dealing with block scheduling for a few years you will understand the concept and what works for your school better. With block scheduling you, have 85 to 90 minutes of class each day…
Object Oriented Programming vs Functional Programming Programming paradigms offer a significant number of advantages over programming with no standard structure. Paradigms over the years have evolved into fleshed out procedures with only a handful of disadvantages, still overwhelmingly insignificant to the advantages. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) & Functional Programming (FP) are two of the more developed paradigms that people use, With significant followers in each. There are quite a few…
that contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods (Rentsch, T. (1984). Java and Python are both widely used Object oriented programming languages that were developed in the late 1990s and are still currently used today. This paper will discuss the background of both languages along with the key similarities and differences between them. Python is an object oriented programming language that is currently used for…
Python is an object oriented programming language, with very clear syntax, that incorporates modules, classes and dynamic typing. Python was created by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer. At his time working at CWI, a Dutch research institute, in a group that involved the distribution of the Amoeba operating system, he wanted a better and easier way to do system administration other than using C programs. Van Rossum wanted a language that could be used in the Amoeba systems with a similar…
Evolution (how the feature has changed in the language over time) Iteration Statement: Most often the computers are used to automate tasks repetitively. Computers are error free when it comes to repeating identical or similar tasks compared to people. Repeated execution of a set of statements is called iteration or loop. The repeated execution of a statement or compound statement can be accomplished either by using loop or recursion. It can be controlled by using either Logical expression or…
this basis Bradt established five ‘badges of honour’ which can be identified as the pillars of backpacking (as citied in Welk, 2004, p.80): 1. To travel on a low budget 2. To meet different people 3. To be free, independent and open-minded 4. To organise one’s journey individually and independently 5. To travel as long as possible 2.1.2 Backpacker profile Furthermore, this group characteristic is overlapping with other segments and should not be considered as a homogenous group due to different…
The Burmese Python, which is an invasive species that rules the Everglades National Park, is extremely dangerous. According to Tarshis, “full grown pythons are the kings and queens of the Everglades” because they eat so much (8). These invaders cause so much pain and destruction. There were bird lovers in Hawaii, and they wanted the rats to go away from the fields. “The bird lovers ordered 73 Indian Mongooses from Jamaica. The plan that they hoped mongooses would help the rat population,…
seen a Burmese Python? Well some people have them as a pet. How irrational is that. But what really is going on is debauched. Pythons are destroying the Everglades in Florida. But how are they are to solve this problem though. Can the people of Florida get this conflict, solve or not. How are they going to do it? Let’s found out by reading the sources. First of all, Burmese Pythons are magnificent and authoritative animals in the world today. The enormity of these snakes is astounding length…
