Slow Cow

think is worse for the environment, driving a gas guzzling truck or eating beef every day? You might think that the truck is going to be worse, but you cannot see greenhouse gases and judge which is going to produce more gas. Studies are finding that cows, and other livestock, produce greenhouse gases, are having measurable effects to climate change. Although cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) , livestock emit methane (CH4) and CO2, plus contribute to climate change in other ways.…

The leopard seems to be moving in an orderly fashion, not attacking any of the food sources available at his…

virus. The theory of a slow virus developed to describe an "infectious cause for a genetic disease" (Anderson 139). The theory progressed and eventually led to Gajdusek winning the 1976 Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology. As research continued, it became viewed that there in fact was no slow virus. A new theory began developing regarding it being caused by a protein structure, known as a Prion. The theory of Prions developed around the environment of the late 1980's "'mad cow'…

1. The honey possum has a long pointed snout, a brush-tipped tongue, reduced jawbones and muscles, and pointed incisors and canines but small peg-like teeth.

Weaning is the action of cutting the calf from the cow or heifer, in order to separate for organizational purposes. Wrong practices in weaning can cause high stress levels in calves from tearing down fence to lack of performance and feed intake. Practices such as fence line weaning and feed block weaning…
