Jaguar Extinction

Welcome to the Jaguars soccer club! In the Jaguars club, we expect nothing but excellence. Being part of the Jaguars involves having a passion, dedication, and time towards the club. Saying this, I would like to congratulate you on joining the club, we wish you the very best for the upcoming season.

Coast Jaguarundi is an extremely rare subspecies of the Jaguarundi family. This cat is mainly found in certain parts of Northern America, in the Western Gulf coastal grasslands of southern United States and Northwestern Mexico. This subspecies of Jaguarundi have a reddish or a charcoal gray fur, short ears, and short legs. As a predatory cat, the Jaguarundi is a great swimmer and can also climb very well. The Gulf Coast Jaguarundi eat fish they catch in rivers, as well as small mammals, such as; rabbits and armadillos, or even jump and catch low flying birds. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the Gulf Coast Jaguarundi as endangered. This is mainly due to human actions that have resulted in destroying most of the

Humans have caused another extinction, one that could possibly take us down in the process, species are exponentially going extinct because of habitat loss, species exportation, and invasive species bullying native species. On the other hand, scientists are trying to safe guard native species, keep animals in captivity whether it be for the animals well-being or for research, and widespread invasion. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting “What Everglades Pythons and Other Invasive Species are Trying to Tell Us,” by Julia Whitty and “The Sixth Extinction,” by Jeff Corwin.

This lab report focus on the risk of extinction of the panther species of Florida due to habitat loss (urbanization), collisions road kill, intolerance and poor genetic diversity have been confined to this animal to live in a small part of South Florida become one of the most endangered mammals on the planet. About 160 cats remain in the wild. Therefore the objective of this report is to disseminate knowledge regarding the extinction of native species by identifying the mortality, its causes, area of action, level of ecosystem and possible solutions to prevent their extinction

Already in the Aguada culture period (650 AD -. 900), the obsession is evidenced by the numerous feline use ritual objects, including pottery, bronze axes and discs, fabrics, stone and wood carvings, mortars, tablets pipas. The cebil and feline presence in the Hispanic cultures is evident and is found in most cultural events such as textiles, ceramics, metalwork. lithic. As well as the cultural continuity of many towns and communities. When the jaguar is not represented whole it may be that we find parts of their loose elements or features, symbolizing a part of the feline: one part for the whole (metonymy) .Thus

Stephen Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of the Dinosaurs” completely agrees with Joseph Williams and Gregory Colomb’s essay “Argument, Critical Thinking, and Rationality.” Gould’s essay deals with three theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs, two of which he argues are entirely invalid because they are not in accordance with the basic rules of argument laid out by Williams and Colomb in their essay. Gould also states that the third theory of dinosaur extinction, natural disaster, follows all the rules that Williams and Colomb espouse, and thus is a sound argument. Gould, Williams, and Colomb all state that the world has a problem with irrational arguments being shoved down people’s throats, and call for a

Deforestation and poaching tend to be the leading factors of why jaguars are dying off at such a significant rate. Many conservation groups have come out and said publicly that if the international community does not do something about the decline in the jaguar population, the tropical rainforests of Central and South America will be under threat

In the two essays being discussed we learn that science has a vast range of definitions. Science is the effort to understand (or to understand better), the history of the natural world and how the natural world works with observable physical evidence as the base of understanding. Science is about how the hypothesis is developed and how well it is defended.

Imagine walking in your backyard and seeing a dangerous buffalo that is twice the size as a cow eating your grass. That would be terrifying to witness, but that scene would most likely not happen in today’s world because the bison were almost driven to extinction during the 19th and 20th century. The Indians needed buffalo for their primary food source, so they would hunt bison. Then, Euro-Americans came along and disrupted the system for the Indians. There is an argument for who is to blame for the near-extinction of the bison. Some believe the blame all falls on the Indians as they over-hunted. Others may feel that the blame goes on the Euro-Americans who impacted the system by getting involved with bison. Consequently, I believe

Katie: Fascinating, do you know what happens when a jaguar’s land territory has a lot of humans?

Habitat destruction, deforestation, ozone depletion, global warming, and poaching. These actions and ecological happenings are creating a world where animals are going extinct at rapid rates. Our world is on the brink of what scientists believe is the sixth mass extinction. Unlike the five previous mass extinction, the latest one killing a majority of the dinosaurs, the main causes for this current extinction are anthropogenic reasons, not natural events.

The Panthera pardus orientalis or the amur leopard is often called “The Rarest Cat in the World”. Do you know why this is so? Well, let's just say this is not for a very content reason. Amur leopards go by this title because they are endangered. You might think, though, that there probably about maybe 2,000 or more left, but if you think that then you are way off. Do you know how many there are? Take a wild guess. Don’t know? Well, I’ll tell you. According to WWF, there are only an estimated 60-70 left in the wild. There are approx. 220 in zoos across North America, Europe, and Japan. As you can see this species is on the verge of extinction, but there is still hope for this species.The only way this species will be able to survive is if we help. First here is some information about my species.

Since the beginning of life itself, some species have lived and prospered while other species have gone extinct never to be seen again by mankind. Because of this, some would claim that extinction is natural and not significantly problematic to the world that we live in. Others, however, understand that due to climate change, habitat loss, and poaching, more and more species are becoming endangered which leads to a chain reaction that can be devastating to ecosystems. Species such as the Chinook salmon, gorillas, tropical sharks, and polar bears are all directly affected by climate change, species such as northern spotted owls, Sumatran tigers, and lemurs are greatly harmed due to habitat loss, and species such as the sea turtle, Javan rhinoceros, African elephant, and the Red-Fronted Macaw are all affected by poaching driving them all closer and closer to becoming extinct.

Have you heard that many animals today are going extinct because of people polluting the water, air Also because they are hunting animals for their fur, skins, and horns. But with your hearing the research I have conducted, I think you can also help stop animal extinction.I wanted to research this because I like animals and I want to stop animal extinction. I have been reading and learning about animals for my whole life . when I figured out that animal extinction meant animals are going to not be existing anymore, I knew I had to research about animal extinction. Have you asked yourself? What causes animal extinction? Well, what causes animal extinction is deforestation, greenhouse gases, forest fires, and pollution. “By burning fossil fuels, we are making hotter temperatures, melting polar glaciers Globally, power generation is responsible for about 23 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions per year” “Greenhouses gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat in the atmosphere and regulate our climate. These gases exist naturally, but humans adding more carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels for energy (coal, oil, and natural gas) and by clearing forests.Greenhouse gases act like a blanket. The thicker the blanket, the warmer our planet becomes. At the same time, the Earth’s oceans are also absorbing some of this extra carbon dioxide, making them more acidic and less hospitable to sea life

Jaguars are part of exclusive group known as the “big cats,” which include the lion, tiger, and panther. The scientific name for this species is Panthera Onca. Panthera is a Greek term originating from the Latin word for panther while Onca is derived from the Latin word for lynx. Most Central and South American countries refer to the Jaguar as “el tigre” or the tiger. This is the only big cat found in the New World (western hemisphere) and the only one in the entire genus. The entire taxonomy classification is as follows: Kingdom- Animalia, Phylum- Chordata, Class- Mammalia, Order- Carnivora, Family- Felidae, Genus- Panthera, Species- Panthera Onca.
