Compare And Contrast Pandas And Brown Bears
Every time I see a brown bear and panda at a zoo, I thought they were the same animal but just different color and live in different habitats, because they are members of the bear family. Since I thought they look the same, I thought they would act similar. But when I started to research more about pandas and brown bears, they are very different animal. Pandas and Brown Bears have similar shape, but are very different and unique animals. Both pandas and brown bears have physical characteristics that are special to them. When you first look at a panda and brown bears you might think they act and live the same, but they are very different. Both pandas and brown bears have claws. Pandas use their claws for climbing trees and cutting bamboo. Brown

    The most recent change was the molar teeth. With this change the polar bear now has forty-two teeth that are much longer and larger than the regular brown bear which have flat rounded teeth. The interbreeding of grizzle bears and polar bears has created a new type of bear. Polar bears and grizzly bears are breading at an increased frequency due to global warming, which is slowly forcing the polar bears out their natural environment. This cross breading has been increasing as more brown bears have been spotted in polar bear territory and parts of Canada, the traits of this new hybrid bear consist of long dirty white fur, long claws, wider teeth, and a slightly larger head.

    The main connection between "Endangered Pandas" and "Saving the Panda through Ecotourism" is about how pandas help the economy, how they help grow more bamboo, and how they are endangered. The first passage explains how mush it weighs, how much it can eat per day, and how lazy they are. Also, when a panda eats it is helping the environment as well. While the pandas eat, they spread bamboo seeds along the ground. The seeds help more bamboo trees grow, so the panda will not run out.…

    Sometime during the mid-Pleistocene period (roughly 100,000 to 250,000 years ago), a number of brown(same as grizzly) bears (Ursos arctos) probably became isolated by glaciers. Many probably perished on the ice; however, they apparently did not all disappear. Some survived due to the fact that "organisms vary" (Gould, 1977); that is, every litter of grizzlies has a variation in coat thickness, coat color, etc., which imparted a slight evolutionary advantage to some individuals of each litter. Successive, successful individuals repeated this simple process, yielding a rapid series of evolutionary changes (driven, presumably, by the combination of small population, and extreme selection pressure) in order to survive. Note that these new variants were not necessarily "better" in any absolute sense, or on any absolute "bear" scale of perfection: they were simply more in keeping with their new environment than their immediate ancestors or their more unfortunate siblings. Today, polar bears are adapted to their harsh northern environment.…

    Hamlet vs Lion King

    • 1083 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Major themes in literature and art reappear throughout history. In most cases, the interpretation reflects the current social norms of the time. This can be seen through analysis of the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, which reflects the Elizabethan time period, and the movie The Lion King by Walt Disney, an animated modern version of Hamlet, which mirrors the current era. Each piece of literature is formatted around the same plot. In general, an uncle kills his brother and takes over the thrown. The Uncle then sends the king’s son away to be killed, but he survives. After an internal struggle, the son returns to reclaim the thrown, and the uncle is murdered. Comparison of paralleled characters in Hamlet and The Lion King represent, among other things, the changing perception of culture from England’s sixteenth century to America’s twentieth.…

    There are so many nice places scattered across the country. Every place has its own distinct features. I have visited so many places of scenic beauty and tourist interest. But the visit which has a lasting impression on my mind is the visit of Sarawak’s Mount Mulu National Park. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is said to be the heaven on earth. It has the accolade of being “the most spectacular caves on earth”. The complex network of vast caves were formed over millennia the flow of water draining from the slopes of Mount Mulu towards the sea has cut deep gorges through the Park’s limestone mountains and, within the rock itself. I was wonderstruck to see the ravishing beauty of the Mulu Caves. Mount Mulu National Park is one of the most bewitching places on earth. It has been a great attraction for the tourists all across the country and abroad as well.…
