Mating/Breeding: They mate on the ice (as opposed to other seals which mainly mate in the water) from late September to early November. During the breeding season a male mates with a female and generally stays with her (until the time her pup is unaccustomed), but takes no part in raising the pup. Females give birth to a single pup which is weaned 3-4 weeks after birth. During this time the female spends the entire time on the ice with the pup.…
According to the NOAA website, the Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the most endangered marine animals in the world. They are found only in Hawaii and have a population that has been on a steady decline since the 1950’s (about 4% per year.) Work has been done recently to being their numbers up. The NOAA has created programs to foster the seals’ numbers. The Hawaiian Monk Recovery Seal program was designed to respond to a wide range of threats throughout all the islands of Hawaii. Their strategies are to enhance survival of female seals as well as juvenile ones, ensure natural population growth and reduce human-seal interactions, prevent and lessen disease and build on seal health care capacity, and also to administer a recovery program for…

After a long day of swimming the otter would roll on the ground or rub on a log to dry themselves. The Oriental Small Clawed Otter can last up to 6-8 minutes under water, so hunting for food is easy. Their forefeet are helpful because they use them to capture their food and “Their hind feet says wildlife explorer states, “Are used for swimming.” “Their eyes stay shut for 40 days after birth,” states the wildlife explorer. According to the wildlife explorer, “Their number of young is 1-6 but usually 1-2.” One of the most interesting facts is that if several otters are swimming in one straight line with their backs out of the water their backs can be mistaken for the humps of a sea monster. Its genus and species is “Aonyx Cinera” that is also the species for the African Otter. Although they are the same species the African otter is much bigger, and weighs up to 75lb and just like the Oriental Small Clawed Otter and the Asian Otter they all have white markings on their faces, chests and throat. The Oriental Small Clawed Otter is one otter that loves to swim and definitely loves to snack on…

In recent years, climate change has become a catastrophic issue that globally depletes resources at an unsustainable rate for survival. Rising temperatures associated with climate change are due to the greenhouse effect, in which humans play a huge role. The greenhouse effect is the trapping and buildup of heat in the Earth’s atmosphere due to carbon based human activities, such as transportation, electricity, and consumer habits(EPA, 2013). Global climate change includes substantial change to local and global temperatures, wind patterns, rainfall patterns, which last over extended periods of time (EPA, 2013). Current, unsustainable rates of human population growth contribute to the extra greenhouse gasses are added into the atmosphere.…
