His time to shine was when many natural resources were depleted and the environment was lacking qualities that it should have. Aldo was born on January 11, 1887 in…

During the summer, the class was given an assignment to read a book called Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk. It is a book about standing up for others, and because that was our theme for the school year last year, it was an appropriate novel for us. On the whole, the book tells of how a girl named Betty Glengarry bullies a WWI veteran named Toby and the importance of telling the truth and standing up for those who can’t do it themselves. This story is told through the eyes of a twelve-year-old farm…

After reading "Scared To Death" by Ed Yong, I learned the term "landscape of fear." A landscape of fear is a map of the effects the predators have on their prey. The effects of long-term fear among the prey population just because of the presence of the prey is graphed into a map of sorts. Some people don't believe animals can experience long term fear, but a researcher named John Laundre is changing this notion. We know they experience short-term fear during a chase or when a predator is about…
