Savanna

also to keep cool just like the red oil sweat. A rhineleppotamus lives in Southern Africa in the long grassy savanna. The habitat that a rhineleppotamus lives in is very hot during the summer days, it reaches about 90 degrees fahrenheit and about 40 degrees fahrenheit at night. During the winter the high is about 65 degrees fahrenheit with the low being about 30 degrees. The savanna has ponds around where a rhineleppotamus will spend its day hours if not sleeping in the shade. During the…

also known as hunter-gatherer or forage. The Hiwi reveals there are a lot of variations within the diet of small foraging society. The Hiwi source for food are diverse, they gathered different kind of animal and plants from different places such as savannas, forest, rivers, and swamps. Because of the geographical factors, Hiwi doesn 't eat the same thing for the whole year. They have to hunt and gather food depending on the weather and season. During the rainy season, for example, the Hiwi hunt…

As you explore, you will see a variety of exhibits such as: Age of Mammals - According to the museum's website, Age of Mammals is the first permanent museum exhibit to trace mammal evolution - from the extinction of large…

The first work sample is from a student named Savanna. Savanna’s table had two dark colored rocks that were quite similar in size. The rocks were similar in almost every way, but one of their only differences was their color. Savanna saw this difference immediately and wrote it down on her paper. One of the things that really surprised me, however, was when Savanna wrote down the word “irregular.” One of the descriptive words that I put under the Elmo was…

The RCP8.5 Future of Sub-Saharan Africa and High Northern Latitudes by 2100 1. Introduction 1.1 RCPs and RCP8.5 RCPs is short for Representative Concentration Pathways, which are a set of four new scenarios defined by their approximate total radiative forcing in 2100 relative 1750: 2.6 W/m2 for RCP2.6, 4.5 W/m2 for RCP4.5, 6.0 W/m2 for RCP6.0, and 8.5 W/m2 for RCP8.5, for the Fifth Assessment Report of IPCC. RCP2.6 represents a mitigation scenario resulting in a very low forcing level. RCP4.5…

The Nuer people live in South Sudan surrounding the Nile River, in the marsh and savanna areas on both sides of the Nile. This group of people can also be found in the southwestern areas of Ethiopia. The Nuer people speak an Eastern Sudanic language branching off of the Saharan language group and they get by through cattle raising on farms, and supplying milk, fish and meat to nearby peoples. The land the Nuer people live in, stays flooded nearly half of the year while in a drought the rest of…

Diversity in ecosystems has to do with a combination of keystone species, symbiosis, and adaptations. First of all, in my keystone species presentation about grizzly bears I said, “grizzly bears control the population of moose, elk, and other hoofed animals which allow other plants to grow.” If grizzly bears did not exist the population of those animals would increase. And that would lead to there being less plants in those areas which means there would be less animals that live in the trees…

The Southern Mixed Prairie is considered the most important western range type for livestock production (Holechek, Pieper & Herbel, 2011) and once spanned a vast area of 565,000 km2 (Van Dyne and Dyer, 1973). Debate amongst various scholarly sources has made the boundaries of the Southern Mixed Prairie ambiguous. According to one model, this rangeland area spans central Nebraska down into northern Oklahoma (U.S. Forest Service, 2005). An alternate source elaborates that the Southern Mixed…

You’re hunting in the open savanna you haven't seen anything all day, and in the distance you see a big lion lying down. The lions lately have been killing more than antelope than usual, and decreasing the population. You have pull out your rifle and get ready to take down this beast. You set up your rifle in your blind. You look into your scope, put your finger on the trigger, and bang! Is Big game trophy hunting bad? No I do not believe that Big Game trophy hunting is bad. The first reason…

How Will Global Warming Affect the Tropical Rainforest Over the past couple of decades, global average temperatures have risen by almost 0.85 °C (IPCC). Throughout the remainder of this century we will experience an increase in average temperatures of between 1.4 °C and 5.8 °C. This is largely due to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, significant changes in rainfall patterns, and extreme dry and hot periods in other regions (Houghton et al. 2001). Such events will have a considerable…
