Lynx I think lynx are interesting animals. From there pointy ears to there little bobbed tails. They have cool traits that help them to survive. There are different kinds of lynx that i will be talking about. They all have slight differences but they are all very similar. Lynx have long legs and a short bobbed tail. They also have tufts of fur on their ears. Many people don’t know why they have those or don’t know that it is actual useful to them. The hair on their ears enhances their…
conditions and will therefore be incapacitated in the conditions that they were meant to live in. For instance, the polar bear evolved from the brown bear into a white colour for survival to be effortlessly concealed in the white snow. What if the polar bears who evolved over a prolonged interval of time were brought to a warmer location? They would evolve into something else. The polar bears would evolve in circumstances they were never meant to adapt to. Also, with sexual selection not fairly…
Eric Sowards English 1001.014 Professor Fetters March 7, 2017 Should Stricter Laws Be Placed on Animal Hunting? It is very common for many people to hunt animals as a “sport” but hunting is not a sport in any sense, it is murder. There should be stricter laws placed on killing animals and selling their parts. In the past, people hunted for survival and for food. However, that is not the case now. People shouldn’t be allowed to hunt because it is inhumane. Hunters are killing endangered species…
Balsam Fir: The Balsam Fir is an average sized native evergreen tree. It can grow up 40 to 80 feet tall. These trees adapted to the taiga because they grow in acidic soil. Fireweed: The fireweed plants have adapted to become less affected by fires which makes it suitable for the taiga as wildfires are common in the taiga. They also have the ability to grow in all types of soils. Black Spruce: The Black Spruce is a tall tree. It can grow up to 25 meters tall. Douglas-Fir: Douglas-firs are very…
The story The Bear That Wasn’t, covers the concept and idea of people never changing due to outside influence. When the bear awoke from hibernation and found himself in the middle of a factory, he was an outsider to the factory workers. Because the factory workers had never seen a bear at the factory and the only bears they had ever seen were either in the circus or at the zoo, they made an assumption that it couldn’t be a bear. Instead, they insisted that the ‘bear’ was actually a silly man…
sent to an island, all alone, with nobody there? Just imagine a cold, freezing island, with no shelter and in the middle you, just you, all alone. I could barely survive a week but never could I survive a Bear attack. Cole Mathews survived both, but not just a week, but a full year! Spirit bear is a book by Ben Mikaelsen where you follow Cole Mathews on his journey living for a year on a remote alaskan island. The main character in the book as you can probably tell is Cole. Cole is a character…
Have you ever seen a polar bear? Not many people have. The population now is around 20 to 25 thousand. In the 70’s the population hit the all-time low, the ice they live on is melting due to global warming. The population will continue to drop so long as we don’t do anything about it, and soon, no one will get to see the snow white bear. In 2012, about 1.32 million square miles, which is right around 24%, of the Arctic Ocean was froze over. That is low considering that it dropped about 3% since…
Imagine a polar bear, sitting on the edge of the ice. He’s at the northernmost point of the earth, with family behind him. They are in sight, as the father bear makes his way across the slippery frozen wasteland. Suddenly, the ice fractures. The arctic animal floats away on an iceberg into nothingness, to never see his family ever again. Do you want this to happen to a hopeless, innocent animal? Well, it’s already happening which is why global warming is a serious issue and needs to be dealt…
Giant Panda taxonomic classification was being debated since the animal shared both characteristics with bears and raccoons. However, molecular studies suggest that Giant Pandas belong in the bear family. The Giant Panda belongs in the Urisdae, although they have a different early history from the main Ursine stock. The closets relative that the Giant Panda has in the family is the Spectacled Bear of South America. Although, the Red Panda has yet to be classified in which family it belongs, it…
