In 2014, Ryan Moore adopted three 8-week-old bunnies from the Freedom + Rescue Project, a nonprofit organization that rescues animals from laboratories once they were done being experimented on. One of the bunnies died just after a month later, and another one after two to three years. Four years later, Moore noticed that his third … Read more
In today’s modern world, there are various animals that are critically endangered and are at risk of extinction. The number of species that are at risk of extinction are continuing to grow, and we as humans, are completely failing these species. The destruction of habitats and the excessive killing of species while hunting has both … Read more
ENDANGERED ANIMALS Animals that are endangered are exactly what you think it mean. Those animals are in danger of becoming extinct in other words nonexistent;there won’t be anymore of that kind of animal. The question is why are they becoming extinct what is happening to them. Well that is easy they are dying. Now why … Read more
In 2015-2016 5,872 dogs in the RSPCA were euthanized. 67.12% was for behavioral problems, 24.69% were for medical reasons, 4.77% was for legal action, and 2.96% was infectious. A dying dog is euthanized to put it out of its misery, but what about the other 72.26%? Is euthanizing animals an act of mercy, or an … Read more
One of the most common misconceptions regarding any branch of the animal kingdom is that “all birds can fly.” Apterygidae, commonly known as kiwi birds (referred to as simply ‘kiwi’), is one of the families of birds that is incapable of flying. Along with this trait, kiwis possess many others that are indicative of both … Read more
Reproductive modulation has been documented across various animal taxa, including mammals. Species which show the most extreme examples of altered reproduction usually live in highly complex and cooperative social groups. Within mammals, naked mole-rats and marmosets are two examples of highly social species which show pronounced reproductive modulation. In both cases, subordinate males and females … Read more
Abstract In this paper, we will be discussing the Gambusia holbrooki. We will be conducting experiments to test our hypotheses: as the age of G. holbrooki increase so does the mortality rate. We also analyzed our data that is quantified in the life table. In this experiment we went to the field and gathered our … Read more
Although the seahorse and the pipefish can be found within the same family, the Syngnathidae family, they represent different genus’ within the animal kingdom. Seahorses and Pipefish are in the same Syngnathidae family, however the two species are separated into further genus. The pipefish are considered Syngnathinae and a seahorse is considered to be part … Read more
Nyala are a species of antelopes who reside in areas of high-density woodland primarily found in parts of southeastern Africa. Aside from their massive height, a distinguishing trait of the Nyala is the spiral horns located above the eyes. This trait specifically found on males, instigates curiosity of the possible reasons for this adaptation of … Read more
Introduction In nature, horses have evolved to be seasonally polyoestrous in their reproductive cycles. Having more than one oestrous cycles per breeding season means that mares continue to ovulate regularly, approximately every 21 days throughout the breeding season (Brinsko 2011). Without intervention, the breeding season of a mare generally occurs during the summer, which in … Read more
Q#1. What is the species name of the model/study organism? The species name for an Angus feedlot calf is Pos (primigenius) taurus (“Angus”, 2018). Q#2. Intellectual merit and broader impact: A) Why did the authors feel this research was important enough to spend time and money doing it? B) Is there an economical, environmental, medical, … Read more
This experiment seeks to investigate the relationship, if any, between ethanol, gene expression, and circadian rhythms in cockroaches. An experiment on cockroaches may be shed light on humans because evolution has resulted in many organisms utilizing circadian rhythms to help them adapt to the effects of Earth’s rotation each day. These internal “timing systems” are … Read more
Yellowstone and the Greater Yellowstone area and bison are all idealistic parts on the American West and the Great Plains. But, bison are the animal that symbolizes it. In the 1870s they were heavily killed for their hides to be made into leather for boots and machine belts in the end of a decade millions … Read more
I will be comparing and contrasting Cockatoos and Macaws in their behavioral aspect. I will be researching how they interact amongst themselves and with other animals and their owners. I will be finding similarities and differences of the two, making them closely and far related. I will also be taking into account how their behavior … Read more
This essay will analyse the successes and failures of the largest convention on the protection of trade of endangered species. There are various issues that impede CITES from meeting all its objectives. However, the Convention has and continues to succeed in limiting trade to protect threatened species to a great extent. It is impossible for … Read more
