What’s Good About the Zoo? Why are animals in zoos? Do they actually help the animals? Why should they stay?When a species is going extinct, zoos help that. They then create a manmade structure for at least two animals to live in. They will breed the animals causing numbers of the species to rise. Although, there may be overpopulation and manmade structures, should stay in zoos because, they’re given a safe place to live, putting smiles of people's faces, and breeding extinct animals. When a…

Whether humankind was created by a holy power or evolution; somewhere, somehow, we were given the power to adapt. Human kind survives because of adaptability and I will achieve my goals by nourishing my inner versatile seed that was planted in all of us at birth. The most successful and powerful people ever lived were also the most adaptable people that lived. I am a foreigner from Iran. At the age of 12 my family and I immigrated to the United States. My father was one the most elite…

The sustainability of our planet highly relies on the range and dispersion of an organism. An organism's range is the area where the species lives during its life. There are many different organisms with many different ranges -- some are very limited because an organism has special, specific needs, and some can be very large because an organism has the ability to survive in many places or migrates during certain times of the year. The pattern of an organism's spacing in an area is called…

Pharyngeal slits are gill filtering slits or tunicates helping the organism in some developmental form of its existence. Of this type of Aquatic Amphibian the Anus does take shape before the mouth. Also, this species of organism has an Endostyle found in the Pharynx for eating and aiding in digesting its food. Another characteristic of the phylum. Lastly, for some period or for its whole life the animals that belong to this phylum usually keep their embryonic…

their lives in extensive burrow systems (Nowak, 1991; O¨ zkurt et al., 2005) and are obligate hibernators during seasons with low ambient temperatures and poor foraging conditions (Armitage 1981). The genus Spermophilus of ground squirrel with 41 species (Helgen et al, 2009) is Holarctic in distribution, occurring throughout temperate and arctic Eurasia from Austria to eastern Siberia, China and Mongolia and ranging across western North…

There are too many species in the world to even try to count, and overtime all of them have had to adapt and evolve to survive in their habitats. Some species have changed in color over time to be able to blend better with their environment for survival. While other species have grown fins, some have grown legs, some have even changed to be both water and land, and others wings. One of the many animals that has evolved and grown wings is the bat, although bat wings are different because they…

further our species medical technology. By researching this topic, we’ve stumbled on a creation called “chimeras” which are animals that carry human DNA, resulting in the growth of usable human organs. The article, “The Mammoth Cometh,” by Nathaniel Rich, discusses the use of these chimeric experiments to bring extinct animals back from the…
