Receiving an average of less than 4 inches of rain per year, deserts have poor productivity and supports low abundances of wildlife (cite). Thus, they are rarely viewed as conservation priority areas. However, the deserts are home to unique species that can adapt to the harsh and highly variable environments. Due to the lack of attention, the Sahara, world’s largest tropical desert, has suffered a

Those roles are and were: the Gulf War, hunting for fur, hunting as a sport, captivity and the pet trade. Science also helps to endanger the sand cats through

To conclude our study of physiology and anatomy, we will be dissecting a cat. A dissection is a process of cutting apart or separating tissue as, for example, in comparative anatomy studies or in the course of a surgical procedures. It is also for educational purposes and also to learn how different parts of the body are connected and work together. Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. Comparing its structural similarities may
