Pygmy Shrew In Canada

In the beginning, the author introduces the nutria rat also known as coypu, it was first brought into the U.S. in 1899 in California for the fur industry. These creatures now live in 15 other states including Louisiana. They were released into “Louisiana wild by state and federal agencies to provide a new fur resource and to control problem plants such as the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides)” ( 1). It did not take long for them

This project pertains to the pygathrix cinerea or which it is more commonly know as the grey- shanked douc Monkey . It falls under the animalia kingdom, the chordata phylum, the mammalia class, the primates order, and the cercopithecidae family, the pygathrix genus,and the pygathrix nemaues species ( http://www.departments.bucknell.edu ). The body, and the majority of the arms, and lower legs are light grey with a paler underside, and their shoulders, upper legs, and part of their buttocks are marked with white patches. Their feet and hands are black while having the bare skin on their face being yellowish brown, and the areas around the mouth and chin which is white. Long white fur borders the sides of their face with a slanting eye, and their throats are white with an orange collar encircled

The Melomys rubicola, more commonly known as the Bramble Cay Melomys, is a breed of rodent that inhabits the Torres Straight Islands of Northern Queensland. It is ranked as critically endangered and is one of Australia’s most isolated mammals. With an estimated population of approximately 93, it is imperative that action is taken as soon as possible to conserve this species so that its numbers do not plummet further.

The American Mink (Neovison Vison) is a semi-aquatic animal that lives in forested areas where there are ponds and lakes for them to swim. They feed on frogs, cray fish, muskrats, birds and ground squirrels (Fur Commission USA). Their ranges vary by gender, male minks can inhabit 2.5 miles of stream or river to about 2, 500 acres of wetland territory while female minks inhabits much less wetland only about 40 acres and about 1 mile of stream or river. Male minks tend to hunt more than females during the spring time, so it is more likely a male mink will be spotted over a female mink (Magnusdottir et al. 2014). There has not been a mink spotted in Abernathy filed station

Cynomys ludovicianus or the black tailed prairie dog is actually a ground squirrel and not at all a dog. Black tailed prairie dogs can get up to 388mm long and weigh in around

The salt marsh harvest mouse is listed as an endangered species in 1970s. Its phylogeny is of the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata, the Class Mammalia, the Order Rodentia, the Family Cricetidae, the Genus Reithrodontomys, and the Species raviventris. The closest living relative of the salt marsh harvest mouse, according to genetic mapping, is the plains harvest mouse, R. montanus, a western interior species that are found in Mexico and central US.

It is evident through Flannery’s chapters that the behavior of the first people was very meticulous while at the same time unconcerned about the consequences that may have come out of it. The Clovis hunters emerged as a dominating force throughout much of North America around the same time the mammoths and mastodons were widespread through the country. Clovis hunters took great effort in planning hunts and often “assailed the great beasts while they were most vulnerable” (Flannery 2001). Although the Clovis Indians developed unique ways of preserving meat, such as caching in a pond, they also brutally massacred whole herds of mammoths and mastodons with little thought to the effects on populations. Learning about the behavior of the first people,

The nutria, also known as the river rat or the coypu, is an invasive specie because it can destroy the land. Nutria are rodents similar to the capybara because of its body shape and brown fur. It is also similar to beavers

The Alaskan Malamute is a medium-large to large dog that weighs between 70-95 pounds and measures up to 25". They are best known as sled dogs and are used to hard work. They ideal for cold climates or homes that will keep them cool and hydrated in hot summers. The Alaskan Malamute has a thick, coarse outer coat and wooly, dense undercoat. They are dressed for cold weather. If you own an Alaskan Malamute and live in a warmer climate, you need to make sure that they have a place to get out of the sun and plenty of water.

The first Inuit people that lived in North America used dogs to travel around to the places they needed to go. The dogs not only helped the Inuit people travel, but they also help with hunting. The dogs were brave to scare off bears and other threatening animals. When an Inuit person used their feet to travel they put little spikes on the bottom of their boots to get better grip on the ice. The Inuit people used and made two different boats, the kayak and the umiak. Kayaks are small lightweight boats that the Inuit people used for hunting, which could fit one person in wood frame boat covered with sealskin. They were built to be lightweight so they were easy to maneuver in the water. Sealskin skirts were made to keep the water out of the boat.

“The Burmese python is native to Southeast Asia and is established in natural areas in southern Florida such as Everglades National Park (ENP) (Snow et al. 2007a) (Frank J. Mazzotti).” “The only breeding populations of Burmese pythons in the U.S. are found in the Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve in extreme southern Florida [2], [5] (Pyron).”

Howard Roark is the personification of the phrase, “I do what I want.”. He doesn’t do anything other than for his own reasons. He is expelled from college in his third year for refusing to complete the assignments as directed. He is fired from multiple architecture firms, for refusing to bend his ideas or refusing to reach a compromise of any kind. He refuses to take on projects where he will not be given complete creative freedom to design his buildings. He lives to make himself happy, designing buildings as he envisions them makes him happy, and so he does nothing else, he plays no political games, he plays nice with no man, and he concedes nothing. This is the embodiment of Objectivism. Roark’s entire life is based on Objectivism, but the

Canada has an extremley large geography which plays a tremendous role on many factors that affect Canadians. These factors both help and hinder Canada economically, socially and politically. The geography of Canada has also caused regions to form. For the most part, these regions exist due to physical that are present in Canada's landscape. Canada's geography has also had a large impact on the influences that affect settlers. Canada's relatively low popuation in comparison to the large land mass make Canada a place where people who desire to settle in high population, urban areas or large, isolated, and low-trafficked areas. The high population of people near the Canadian-American border is also a unique feature of Canada, due to the

There are at least two reasons for climate change. Car pollution , and factory pollution are two of the major for this.

Addiction and substance abuse is a crime that has plagued the U.S. ever since the early 1900 's and from that point on has been an uphill battle for the U.S. to stop. But even with everything the U.S. has tried nothing that has been done has even made a dent in the drug war. Drugs just continue to hit the very streets that innocent people live on. Today people walk right outside their house and just around the corner, there is some guy that has the ability to sell them drugs. That is why the war on drugs in the U.S. has failed miserably because the number of people and high schoolers that are using drugs is still increasing, drug tests do not do anything to discourage using drugs and almost everyone knows how to cheat the tests, and legalizing drugs, such as marijuana and other low level drugs, would allow the U.S. to have more control over drugs in the end.
