Zebra

identified the [zebra] muscles are the principal reason that eutrophication abated in Lake Erie, while others have noted similar effects in other lakes and rivers (e.g., Strayer et. al., 1999)” (Sagoff 2005). The significant reason why zebra muscles are taking over is due to competition for resources. The zebra muscles can out-compete the other native species for resources allowing them to thrive. Also, native muscles in the Great Lakes rest on hard surfaces which are being occupied by zebra…

this as an opportunity and put himself in her position to better understanding his daughters emotions. Throughout this he listened to how she felt and then helped her label her feelings by saying, “you’re angry because we can’t get Zebra for you” and “We can’t get Zebra because he is in another part of the plane, that makes you feel frustrated.” He helped her understand that he knew how she felt and in result that calmed her down. 3– Min. I am going to explain the 5 steps of emotion coaching in…

A lot of lessons that we can learn from this ‘Pedestrian is King’ seminar. Nowadays, most of the people use the cars to go everywhere they want because maybe it is easier than taking a walk. But actually it is not accurate at all. There a lot of narrow road in our city especially in town, but people still drive dangerously without looking at their surroundings. In other country such as in Japan, most of them are pedestrians. It is good to be pedestrians because we can decrease the pollution,…

into lakes and waterways. Many others “hitchhike” on watercraft, bait buckers, and other recreational gear from one habitat to another. One such known hitchhiker is the zebra mussel, given the scientific name Dreissena polymorpha. Recently, Mallard Lake became the fourth body of water in the county to have a confirmed case of zebra mussel infestation, and there are thousands more streams, rivers, and lakes in the surrounding area with the same issue. This species’ particular invasion is…

true Pi asked which story is better. “Mr. Okamoto: ‘Yes. The story with the animals is the better story.’” (pg 317) The better story is the one with animals and I believe it is the true story. Pi’s supposed ability to survive with so many animals (a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a Bengal Tiger) on the lifeboat makes the first story better. Pi was able to survive with dangerous wild animals in the first story making it the better…

in, killing the fish. Sea Lamprey kill more lake trout than all fishing for lake trout combined. Zebra Mussels are also a big problem in the great lakes. They are a threat to the food web because they eat what the native fish rely on for food. The Zebra Mussels arrived at the great lakes from boats that traveled through the Atlantic Ocean and went through the canals which lead to the Great Lakes. Zebra Mussels accumulate toxins 300,000 times higher than the concentration in the lake. The Asian…

cannibalistic cook from the ship. Basically represents the evil and wrong in this world. The evil cook represented by the hyena kills the sailor, who is represented by the zebra, and Pi’s mother who is represented by the orangutan. After the cook kills the sailor and Pi’s mother, Pi stabs him and he dies. The hyena killed the zebra and orangutan. The hyena connects to Pi’s journey as it can represent Pi’s barbaric, animal like side, as in doing whatever it took to…

dancing off the people who are walking inside. Even at eleven, Broadway was as bright as day, screens blaring and cars rushing by. It was early autumn, and the last bits of truism were still enough to be confusing. She will be transparent. Like a zebra, among its heard, the lions are unable to pick out one because all of them together are disorienting. Even when the girl looks for the lion, among the throngs of people, even the lion cannot be seen. Wiping her eyes, she comes to the conclusion…

Sometimes drastic measures need to be taken to prevent an even more drastic situation, and that is the dilemma today's scientists are facing on the topic of the Alewife, a small silver fish who have wreaked havoc on freshwater ecosystems across Ontario. The invasive species were first spotted in Lake Ontario in 1873, having been carried over in the ballast water of ships. They quickly reproduced in those bodies of water, then bypassed Niagara Falls through the Welland Canal By 1960, they had…

with a tiger. When Pi was sixteen, his father sold their beloved zoo and animals so they could move to Canada. While on the Tsimtsum, a storm struck and the boat started to sink. Pi was thrown onto a lifeboat and before anyone else could jump in, a zebra jumped onto the lifeboat and caused the…
