Band-tailed Pigeon

At one time the Passenger Pigeon made up 40% of the bird population in America. When they migrated their flock stretched 300 miles, and covered the sky for hours. How did 5 billion birds disappear within 30 years? Yes, it is because we hunted the whole population. The passenger pigeon was an average bird with a big population. This bird served as the cheapest source of protein while hunters successfully killed the entire species. These birds never attached or harmed others in any way shape, or form

Technology in today 's age has suggested that recreating extinct species is feasible. Development in this area brings up the questions of whether or not reintroducing extinct species is ethically and environmentally sound. Human expansion and invasion destroyed the lives of many creatures, and some people believe it is their obligation to return the species back to the wild. However, their habitat is no longer what it once was. Arguments are being made to bring back species that humans have inadvertently

concept known as “reverse engineering”. This is how geneticists today envision bringing back the passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon which once ruled the North American skies, quickly diminished in population, as a result of changing habitat and avid hunters. The death of the passenger pigeon marked the end of a species in 1912. As this was many decades ago, the cells of the passenger pigeon were not banked. This poses a problem for scientists as it requires a large amount of effort and skill

Is it possible to have a twin without being born that way? Although many people think cloning is not morally right, the truth is advances in cloning are beneficial to our health, provide social benefits, and could save species from extinction. With a little bit more research cloning humans could be possible in the future, if society will let it. “Dr. Richard Seed, one of the leading proponents of human cloning technology, suggests that it may someday be possible to reverse the aging process because

Experts say around 99.9 percent of the species that ever existed on planet earth are now extinct. Recently however scientists have been working on ways of how to revive some extinct species back to life. Scientists are attempting to bring 24 extinct species back to life. There has been a lot of work put into researching how this might become possible. So far, attempts have been able to bring a few species to life, however, most only manage to live for a few seconds up to a couple of minutes. However

The Passenger Pigeon has been extinct since 1914 when the last specimen, a female bird named Martha, died in captivity at the Cincinnati Zoo. though many thing of extinction as an end all be all, recent advancements in DNA technology and understanding may make extinction extinct. Scientist have concluded that it is possible to take still-viable dna cells from long-dead specimens, implant them in a closely related modern-day specimen, and have a chimera of an extinct species be born. For many extinct

Palomar Mountain is located in northern San Diego County at 33° 21' 48'' N, 116° 50' 11'' W. The mountain is the 6th tallest peak in the region with an elevation of 6138 feet. (http://peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=1452) It is mainly known for the Palomar Observatory, which houses the Hale Telescope. The mountain itself is located in Palomar Mountain State Park and is a fairly popular tourist destination, averaging about 70,000 visitors annually. The earliest known people to have been in the area

many risks such as costs, diseases, and the ideology that any species can come back after going extinct. De-extinction is finally emerging and being more widely spoken about as scientists and engineers plan the process of bringing back the passenger pigeon. This can create a multitude of problems for the planet. De-extinction is the process in which a species is replicated or made similar

"bright eyed and bushy tailed". But I especially loved when they talked about different civilizations of people and the thing they did. When it was time to decide where I wanted to go to college and

The order Falconiformes is less unified than other orders of birds. Specific features of particular groups resulted from similar ways of life, which gives the Falconiformes similar adaptations. Taxonomy systems even divide this order into three orders of Vultures, Raptors and Falconids. The most frequent classification, under which 295 species are divided into 5 families: Cathartidae, Pandionidae, Accipitridae, Sagittariidae and Falconidae. Falconids (Falconidae) includes 61 species from almost all
