The Amazing Penguin Rescue Summary

I know because “The workers were scrambling to save the oil slicked birds, but the penguins were in bad

The articles from Lauren Tarshis and Dyan deNapoli and the video all describe penguin rescue efforts after the oil spill. The article "The Amazing Penguin Rescue" by Lauren Tarshis the main idea is that oil spills can cause lots of problems to the animals like the African Penguin. The other piece of text "The Amazing Penguin Rescue" the main idea is oil spills can cause problems that are hard to complete. It also shows how hard it is to clean them from the sticky oil. Finally the video the main idea is that even if we try hard to help them their habitat will never be the same.

One similarity between the short stories is both take place by some sort of water. Peyton was near a stream when he was shot and decided to tried another method of escaping. “The humming of the gnats that danced above the eddies of the stream, the beating of the dragon flies’ wings, the strokes of the water spiders’ legs, like oars which had lifted their boat—all these made audible music. A fish slid along beneath his eyes, and he heard the rush of its body parting the water” (Bierce 1505). This quote describes a stream that was nearby Peyton. It describes a stream of water and the organisms that are surrounding the stream. Sylvia theory was that if a person climbed the tallest tree in the forest they would see the ocean. While on the hunt for the White Heron’s nesting spot, she climbed the tallest tree. “Sylvia’s faced was like a pale star, if one had seen it from the ground, when the last thorny bough was past, and she stood trembling and tires but wholly triumphant, high in the tree-top. Yes, there was the sea with the dawning sun making a golden dazzle over it, and toward that glorious east flew two hawks with slow moving pinions” (Jewett 1602). This quote shows that Sylvia’s view is coming from the treetop; and she sees the sea and two hawks. At some point in the story, both characters were near a type of water; Peyton was by a stream and Sylvia was

The film, Beasts of the Southern Wild, tell the story of a rural community called Bathtub in Southern Louisiana to induce themes of classism and community ties. Behn Zeitlin does a great job reminding us of our connection with each other and the world around us. The Americana aesthetic of the film mirrors our hero’s resiliency in the face of destruction. At stake in this aesthetic and exploration of these politically charged themes is an interpretation on how we can connect to each other across racial, economic, and social divides.

Dyan deNapoli: The great penguin rescue http://www.ted.com/talks/dyan_denapoli_the_great_penguin_rescue/transcript?language=en In deNapoli speech,she is talking about the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico and the majority of African Penguins who were affected. A ship named "The Treasurer" sank off of Cape Town, South Africa spilling 1300 tons of fuel, and polluted the habitat; half of the worlds African penguins. Other spills killing majority of the penguins occured as well. We should now be focusing on our two main threats, which are overfishing and global warming, we need to make a change so our penguins dont go extinct.

In a recent BBC News article, Ivan Noble discusses the possibility that ancient penguins may hold the key to unlocking the mysteries behind the complicated molecular clock of evolution. Although a seemingly unlikely animal to research, prehistoric penguin remains in the Antarctic often have been the basis for study, research, as well as debate in the modern science world. Because the prehistoric relatives of the cute and cuddly modern day birds have colonies that are “characterized by high densities and high mortality”, large deposits of the subfossil bones “have been serially preserved in the cold Antarctic environment” (Lambert & Ritchie), making the animals prime candidates for

There are many similarities and differences between “ The SeaBird Chronicle “ and “ The Amazing Penguin Rescue “. Like how we did to save the penguins ( Difference ). Or How all people wanted to help the penguins. ( Simularity ).

One of the main argument that opponents have is that rehabilitated penguins have low survival rates. Post-release life expectancy and long-term survival rates are very low. Brain Sharp analysed reports from 1969 to 1994 on rehabilitated oiled Guillemot birds, and they found “post- release life expectancy was 9.6 days and long-term recovery rates were 10-20 % of those of non-oiled birds” (1996). Moreover, a German biologist named Silvia Gaus also made claims after Deepwater horizon oil spill, she said that it is more humane to euthanize the birds because it is more damaging than beneficial for birds (Spiegel Online, 2010). The efforts to clean the birds would not bring any significant change and the birds will eventually die because of internal

William Baxter was a lawyer known for his widely criticized and reviewed book People of Penguins: The Case for Optimal Pollution. Although the book was intended for economically and legality inclined people, the book is popularly used in philosophical discussions; specifically those focused on animal rights (Wikipedia). In his book he asserts that humans are the only beings that are morally significant. Baxter states that “human beings should be regarded as an end not as a means,” which is consistent with Kantian philosophy (Baxter 381). Furthermore, Baxter declares that since other animals do not have a position that corresponds to how humanity act and think, they do not have the same moral standing as humanity(383).

The habitat for the penguins are usually around the south like Antarctica , north pole, and ect.. Penguins are usually prefer their their habitats in those specific areas because they prefer colder and colder weather than hot weather. Penguins only prefer cold over warmer weather because in the cold penguins have to survive off of fish. From what i have read online it states that if that you're just a small penguin you might live up to about 6 years maybe 7.

If you compare these two articles they both share some similar important information. Such as in one story there is one man talking about how he loves lions. And how they are his

For many people, different kinds of stuff fasten alluringness, for Gentoo Penguins, it is a secret, sacred gift. Kudos to the male Gentoo penguins, for they really know how to crush it. The trick is built around a gift that found root in love and protection, what girl's needs. The Gentoo penguin nests are built from roughly circular stones that are guarded jealously and their ownership is a reason for noisy dispute between the males. The female loved the stones, and the smart males go all the way to find it and offer a nice stone to the female of its choice. It always works. The stone-giving male always receives

Deep explanation on Penguins Evolution, how and why the behave like they do, their way of living in the extreme condition of the artic, the physics involving their movement and the different paths penguin species took and relate each other on evolution, specifying for each species their pros and con compared to others. Penguins Penguins are animals that are together with other 2,000 species in the Phylum of Chordata. The phylum chordate is categorized for presenting four characteristics that differentiate them from the rest of animals of the kingdom. These exclusive features are: presence of notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, postanal tail and a pharynx with gill clefts.

Also, the second image may be interpreted as an ongoing disruption of ecological environment of penguins, which has led to their migration probably to a better environment. Although, the first image showed that there was an existence of environmental pollution, there was no indication of movement to a better place. It may be as a result that those that lived around this polluted area did not have options unlike the penguins on the second
