“Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee, Greenest state in the land of the free Raised in the woods so he knew every tree, Kilt him a b'ar when he was only 3. Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier!” (“Davy Crockett, Tall Tales, and History”). Actually, he was born in 1786 to John and Rebecca Crockett in a cabin by the river, in what was then called the state of Franklin, now eastern Tennessee and never preferred Davy, he liked to be called David. He never killed a bear when he was three, in…

If sea turtles lay about an average of 100 eggs in each nest and lay up to 6 to 8 nest each season, then why are sea turtles endangered if so many of them are being created? Well for starters, Sea turtles are faced with many predators, where most creatures take sea turtles as their natural prey. But a sea turtle's life can be at risk even before they are even born. When a sea turtle lays her eggs, the eggs are in danger of Terrestrial predators that seek to prey on them. But if an offspring…

Party Identification I am to believe that I am part of the Republican Party, as being raised in a republican based family. Just as I was, many other people are usually taught on their views based upon their parent’s views on political events. In the family I was raised in we didn’t really keep close eyes on politics and who we think should be the right person to do the job. They always just said that, “one vote can’t make much of a difference, especially when I don’t like who is running”. With…

understanding for each other. With respect in mind and our friendship in my heart I respect his almost innate ability to make a mess anywhere he goes. While not being literally as dirty as a baboon’s backside my roommate does manage to be messier than a raccoon on garbage day. Irksome doesn’t cover the level of irritation this particular shortcoming causes me, but I am more than able to look over this flaw because of the sheer amount my roommate blows the other qualities out of the…

furthermore, will suppress other specialists, required to have a lot of work experiences rather than knowledge that can be obtained through learning in the class. Our society is like an ecosystem, which needs grass, a little insects, frogs, snakes, raccoons, eagles, and bacteria and fungi. Each animal or plant has its own unique role in the system. But if…

The United States is a wonderful country but, how do I know what state I want to live in? I have narrowed my choices down to two states, Iowa also known as the Hawkeye state and the Sunshine State more commonly known as Florida. I will go over some basic statistics, the environment, and different activities of each state. I believe that it is a better option to live in Iowa and vacation in Florida due to the better education system in Iowa. Florida has a large population of 19.8 million.…

watched it slowly climb to it's nest high in an old oak tree. Mr. Farmer then started walking to his house hoping to find enough food to last until morning. As he walked home he observed a rabbit who also seemed to be searching for something. Then a raccoon, a possum and a turkey. This was far worse than he had imagined. Forgotten at the moment were Mr. Farmer's…

didn’t want it to spray herself or her car. So of course, she didn’t drive her car that night, and she waited out the skunk until morning. Plus, it is irritating letting our dogs out at night in fear they will get sprayed by a skunk or bitten by a raccoon. One night my dogs had a barking match with a possum. What frustrates me the most is a neighbor putting food out for skunks. I would think it would be common sense that you don’t feed wild animals. Even though this complaint has been…

Introduction European and Asian immigrants came to America with multiple unknown animals. Most of these foreign animals hurt or destroyed the land and the ecosystem. One of these none native animals is known as a wild hog (Suidae). Feral swine (Sus scrofa), often found in the United States, come from a variety of domesticated swine. These include: the Eurasian wild boar and African boar hybrids. The first documented domestic swine was used for food purposes in Hawaii around 750-1000; but it was…

What's more, this: the minute alongside the trail as you sit on a sandstone edge, your boots soggy with the morning dew while you take in the rich odor of the pines, and the little red fox—or possibly for you it was a raccoon or a coyote or a deer— that all of a sudden saunters over your way, halting for a long minute to look toward you with careful lack of interest some time recently proceeding on its way. Keep in mind the sentiments of such minutes, and you will know…
