Rock Hyrax

RATIONALE Urbanisation poses a threat to wildlife through habitat destruction and population fragmentation. As a consequence, urbanisation alters the distribution of species.

ginormous vertically angled rock were Neha and I were struggling to make it through. First we saw Mrs. Leys slowly slide down like a slide, Neha and I were petrified. We could see the beautiful shining lake while the glowing moon reflected off it, you could almost taste the frigid lake water, the dirt was soft and squishy, but not like mud, there was no smell except the sweet smell of the chilling flowers and trees around us. Neha and I attempted to climb over the rock. That was an awful attempt.

Lima Mall, it sounds boring, but when going with my Aunt Mercedes it ends up being a blast. We end up looking like really big goofballs whenever we go out in public. When we go shopping at Lima Mall we look like crazy, ladies, because my weird personality forces me to act like I am not normal. Cedes tries to keep her son Emery and I behaving, and it makes me laugh, because she looks mean. Emery, Cedes, and I go around looking for one specific store, so we end up wandering around lost until we realize

It twas a warm July morning and the best friends George and Jeff were out on the water. The two boys loved fishing and they would always try to go. When they would comeback they would always have new stories and forever memories from their previous adventure. The boys would do whatever it took to get to a fishing spot.

When we finally arrived at Castro Valley, I could already feel the difference. The weather was much colder, and the neighborhoods were not the same as the ones in Los Angeles. It was as if I were in a whole other dimension. When we arrived at the new house, it felt different as well. The exterior of the house looked more modern, and the smell of the flowers surrounding it was delightful. It didn’t look as old as the house I lived in before. The neighbors greeted us and gave us a welcome basket full

“Our rock,” Inez proclaimed. “What I imagine you two probably didn’t think at all about was… what was truly going to happen to our rock when we fired the magnetron. When the magnetron sent its microwaves into the rock, they actually went through it, hitting the iron plates on the other side, and were then reflected back our way where the Geiger Counter took a series of measurements of them. Those measurements were then analyzed by my program and then given to us.” Inez hit another command on his

I scrambled up on the rock. The deer was standing down below feeding in the tall grass. “You ready Rylan?” Justin asked. “No, I need a better rest,” I responded. “Ok,” Justin answered as I slid to another rock. Sure enough this rock was steady. “Ok the safety is off,” I whispered to Justin. Bang! 1 day Earlier … “Those little bucks just keep coming but that 3 point just won’t come!” Todd muttered. We were sitting on a muddy road in Todd’s truck overlooking a small
