In 1995, wolves were reintroduced to the Yellowstone ecosystem. This means that Yellowstone is an official haven for wolves. They were originally in Yellowstone but were killed off. They were marked as endangered in 1974, which paved the way for wolves to be reinstated in Yellowstone and in Central Idaho. Altering an ecosystem has been very controversial. This is because of the potential unpredicted threats to the existing organisms. Scientist and citizens have closely monitored changes that…

How would someone describe the snowy mountains of Yellowstone National Park, Montana? Everything is covered in snow, the white frosted ground crunching underneath the boots of people. Every tree is covered in layers of snow, an avalanche happening every time the branches slightly swayed. Buffalo would roam around like cattle would on a farm. Everything is frozen, turning the fingers and faces of young and old a bright red. The hot springs and geysers showering mist on the nearby flora covering…

How are the Burmese Pythons changing the Everglades? Well first of all ,imagine walking outside and seeing a big brown snake slithering across your yard, YIKES!

the desert. But the wolves I’m talking about are located in Yellow Stone National Park in the USA. Yellow Stone is in the state of Wyoming. These wolves can be found on the edge of the park and in the very center of the park. It all depends on where the food is or what the weather is like, say there is lots of snow in the center of the park and less snow on the edge of the park. They would probably live on the edge of the park. Because they like snow: just not in large amounts. That doesn’t mean…

In 1986, when large levels of phosphorous were found, water management became a primary focus in the Everglades, resulting in long court battles to…

In Florida, where it is very much like their native home in Southeast Asia, these pythons are taking over the Everglades. The Burmese python does not…
