The taiga biome has many marvelous elements that make this biome unique and in the taiga has one special animal, and that animal is the Lynx. The taiga biome has different temperatures in the spring, summer, fall and winter. Also, the taiga needs abiotic and biotic elements to live and give shelter to the other living things in the biome. The taiga has a lot of other animals but one extraordinary animal that lives there is the Lynx . The taiga and the Lynx are very unique things in this world.
A contrast is that sloths have claws and i do not. One thing is that sloths live in the forest in trees in South America. I live in a house and live in North America. A fact I have that sloths have is we have better eyesight than they
As a result of the comparison of likeness of humans and animals, the audience is compelled to sympathize with the animals, augmenting the persuasiveness of the author's
To conclude, both stories describe the intricate relationship between humans and animals and the respect these communities show to the animals. Although these relationships are portrayed very differently, they do share a common point of view of distrust towards
“He Drank with Long Gulps, snorting into the water like a horse.” This here is the first comparison to a horse. “Dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws.” Here is is compared to a bear.
The elephants are side by side in a tight space, unfit for that many large animals. A famous case of train transportation of elephants is Jumbo the elephant’s death. On September 15, 1885, in the railroads of Ontario, Canada, a train struck Tom Thumb (an elephant) and Jumbo the elephant. Tom Thumb survived, but Jumbo did not. This shows it is dangerous to transport these animals.
“Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.” This quote from Buddhism depicts the idea of the short story, Shooting an Elephant, by George Orwell. In the story Orwell committed the crime of shooting an elephant, which legally he had the right to do, but morally felt guilty about killing an innocent animal. According to Everything's an Argument, a correct causal argument needs to have a claim, warrant, and evidence.
Walden and Call of the Wild were two extraordinary pieces of literature. Both were filled with many themes and beliefs. As some of these themes and beliefs were alike, some contrasted each other. Francois and Thoreau contrasted on the belief of self-reliance, Mercedes and Thoreau contrasted on the belief of simplicity and the effects of our fast moving society, while John Thornton and David Henry Thoreau compared in the belief of work.
In this experiment, the question that was asked was, are elephants afraid of mice? The hypothesis is if a mouse is placed near an elephant, then the elephant will be frightened. The experimenters traveled to an African safari to perform the experiment with their test subjects (an African elephant and a white mouse). They hid the mouse in elephant dung and rolled over the dung whenever elephants passed by. At first there was speculation that the elephants might have been startled by the moving dung.
c. Comparative anatomy: Comparative anatomy involves observing body structures of today’s organisms to determine their evolutionary history. An example of this would be that bats, porpoises, and humans all
As stated in “Do elephants belong in zoos?”, zoos not only fund research on wild animals but also contribute to reducing the conflicts between them and people, for example, by planting crops that frighten elephants away and exploring the cases of poaching that could affect their mortality (Cohn 717). Moreover, most of the scientific matter on elephants such as facts about their communications, reproductive physiology and behavior were originally gathered on the ground of captive animals (Cohn 717). In his article, Borrell expresses the same opinion. He states that zoos serve as “a living museum” that help scientists to find necessary information on species for the research, and these facts can be used to prevent the extinction of the animals living in the wild (Borrell 9). Besides, zoos are crucial for raising money for conservation programs by giving people firsthand wildlife experience that increases interest in wild animals (Borrell 9).
The pink bottlenose dolphin of Louisiana and the pink elephant of Africa have one thing in common. They were born with the rare albino trait, which generally causes
Elephants are notorious for their distinct appearance; their large tusks, enormous size, long trunk, floppy ears and so on. It is a common thought that the elephant’s closest relatives must be other large, gray, terrestrial animals found in Africa such as rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses. However, elephants are far closer related to the manatee, hyrax, aardvark and round-eared sengi The evolution of this marvelous modern mammal began more than 50 million years ago. Their earliest ancestors (moeritherium) more closely resembled pigs than elephants, with short legs, a long body, and a stubby flexible nose, their traits served these animals well enough in the marshy region the called home.
People use the elephants tusks to make jewelry, and ornaments. China is a big consumer of elephant tusks. They banned this illegal poaching and let some of the elephant populations grow back. But some people still poached these animals which kept them in the endangered list. These animals have a protection program which bans people from poaching these animals.
Banning Poaching About 100 elephants are killed each day by poachers seeking ivory. To this day about 400,000 elephants are remaining, and possibly in the next decade elephants will become extinct. Although, a single pound of Ivory in an elephant’s tusk can go for one thousand- five hundred dollars, killing the living creature is brutal, and people need to find a better way to take the white substance from the tusk, because elephants are the source to making grasslands, creating water holes, and eventually will be next for extinction.
