In chapters 4-6 of Cow, Hannah Velton describes the transformation of bulls, to ox, and then to cows as well as societies need for them. Growing civilizations required more work to be done, and so, cattle were forced to fit the role. The author presents numerous examples of the ways in which different societies used cow including transportation, food, jewelry, religious practices and countless other things. Bulls were too dangerous to do most jobs and cows were too ineffective. However, Velton described how oxen were the perfect mix of both for the African culture. Eventually, the jobs that people required evolved and so did the animals. These animals were used for significantly more than just labor. Cows, bulls, and oxen became symbols of…

Many years ago I watched a documentary entitled “Animal Odd Couples” which introduced me to the world of Anthrozoology. “Animal Odd Couples” was a “Nature” episode which outlined the lives of various animals who had formed interesting, cross-species relationships; Relationships that one wouldn't normally expect to find, because the idea of animals experiencing complex emotions, and forming genuine friendships could be – and for a long time was – considered taboo. In the past whenever animal welfare science had hinted at the fact that animals do experience these types of emotions, and do in fact form complex relationships that mirror our own it was considered anthropomorphism. As a student of anthropology who has a deeply seeded passion for…

In relation to the initial intention of the interviews, the student responses collected in this research wholly reinforce the idea that a child’s previously grasped perceptions about animal classification can be somewhat flawed and should be subject to further instruction in order to successfully clarify common errors. The interesting aspect about these findings and misconceptions, however, is the origin from which they were developed. Some of the observed misconceptions came from the child’s own personal fabrications about classifying animals and other organisms. For example, no teacher or textbook has ever intentionally instructed that mammals are classified as such because of their ability to swim; yet, Student A was insistent that humans…
The human body was created with many different parts that do all different things. God created our bodies with great detail such as our eyes, ears, even all the strands of hairs we have on our head. A map is often made to represent a specific region so that more details can be included about that particular region, making it easier to explore. Scientist have created standardized body directional terms and split the body into distinct regions and sections so that we can more clearly and rapidly locate and discuss anatomical features.…

In concluding, modern domestic animals are recognizable by the selective breeding they have been subjected to over generations of human interference. Thus the cows looks little like the Bovines of a cave paintings and it has become hard to recognize the Dachshund as a descendant of the wolf!…
An aquatic animal is an animal, either vertebrate or invertebrate, which lives in water for most or all of its life.[1] It may breathe air or extract its oxygen from that dissolved in water through specialised organs called gills, or directly through its skin. Natural environments and the animals that live in them can be categorized as aquatic (water) or terrestrial (land). Animals that move readily from water to land and vice versa are often referred to as amphibious.…
