Fennec foxes live in the desert, in North Africa and Asia. Some plants that live in their habitat are papyrus, date palms, lotus, dragonwort, and chrysanthemums. Their dens are dug deep in the sand to keep cool. Fennec foxes live in packs of up to 10 foxes. They eat eggs, insects, rodents, plants, fruits, small reptiles, termites, lizards, seeds, beetles, birds, and the eggs of birds and reptiles. They get enough moisture from their food to where they can survive without access to water holes.…
2. Traits: The shared species of traits are the instincts to hunt for food (scavenge), and the trait to hunt in packs and stay together. However, the Red Wolf is different compared to the other species that I have chosen, because the Red Wolf has a larger body type compared to the other species that I have chosen.…
The swift fox was first found in Montana at the Great Falls on July 6, 1805. The swift fox can be found in the Great Plains and in western Canada. They are mostly in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Wyoming. They are usually in places with short grass or in desert areas. The swift fox fur is light grey with orange with tan on the sides and legs. The throat, chest, underside and inside the ear is a creamy white. The swift fox also has a bushy tail with white and black tips. The swift fox is a type of wild dog and it’s the smallest of them. The females are a little smaller than the males.…
Their den sites throughout the Chaparral are made up of rock formations, hollow logs, trees, burrows, and brush piles. Every living thing has adaptations that help them survive in their habitat. The Grey Fox has short legs designed for climbing. They also have strong, hooked claws that allow them to pull themselves up tree trunks and branches. Their thick tail keeps their feet and nose warm when they curl up and go to sleep.…
Francis Marion was born in the winter of 1732 (his exact birth date is unknown) at Goatfield Plantation in St. John's Parish, Berkeley County, South Carolina. His parents, Gabriel and Esther Marion, were of French Huguenot descent. The Huguenots were French Protestants who had suffered persecution for their beliefs during the reign of Louis XIV. Following the 1685 revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which forbade the practice of Protestantism, 50,000 Huguenots left France. Marion's grandparents were among them. Along with 70 or 80 other Huguenot families, they farmed the banks of the Santee River near Charleston, South Carolina, where the land proved ideal for growing rice and indigo, a highly treasured blue dye…
Next, the San Joaquin fox has a very distinct habitat. The ecosystem that this swift fox lives in is the grassland. It has to be in the vicinity of freshwater marshes and tall grasses. The food sources that are available are Kangaroo rats,…
Adaptations for this family include unusually large ears and small bodies for Fennec and Bat-Eared Foxes. This protects them from the hot African climate. The Fennec and Arctic Fox have thick fur to help provide protection from the climate, and they have thick fur on their paws to protect against hot sand/cold snow. They are also both monogamous animals. Bat-Eared Foxes and Arctic Foxes have no shared traits. They are all monogamous. animals that live in underground dens, have amazing hearing, and are hunted and killed for their fur.…
Some external physical traits between the sea otter, sea mink, and wolverine are short legs and dark, dense, oily fur. The density and oil of the fur helps the animals during the winter, they are easily able to stay warm in the winter or while swimming in the sea otters and minks case and they make them resistant to getting frost on their bodies. These animals also share the fact that they have short tails, small eyes, short ears, placental births, mammary glands, and sweat glands.All these. unshared traits help each species/ organism better prepare and be ready for competition and help the species separately adapt to their ecosystem/ environment at their own…
Have you ever heard of the Black-Footed Ferret? You probably haven’t because they are becoming extinct! To begin, elements that are killing these animals include death by car, trapping, predatory animals and malnutrition. Next, in 1973 the government put the Black-Footed Ferret on the endangered list, and is currently still considered endangered today. Nevertheless, Defenders of Wildlife is an organization that's trying to assist with restoring the ferret to its original numbers and reintroducing them brand-new areas. However, Defenders of Wildlife also must try to save the prairie dogs as well since they are ninety percent of the Black-Footed Ferrets diet. So to recap, we need to breed the ferret, be more mindful on the roads, and stop killing…

To give birth to their young, red foxes mostly go in burrows or “dens” which were dug by groundhogs or badgers. A female fox can have around four cubs at once.…
Today, there are over 8.7 million different species that share planet Earth, and scientists believe that each species all share a common ancestor. That single ancestor, to which is not discovered yet, has evolved over eons, creating these vast amounts of species that we know today. The Gray wolves, or Canis lupus, is one prime example of an evolutionary species. Although the history of wolves is still unclear, scientists believe that wolves evolved from a primitive, carnivorous species called Miacids. As this species evolved, traits and patterns for survival became more prevalent. Today, wolves either hunt individually, hunt in packs or steal food from other predators to obtain food and water. They…
Field Marshall Erwin Rommel was everything that is wanted in a general. He was highly skilled in combat along with being brave and just a touch audacious. He is considered to be a military phenomenon that was able to combine bravery and daring with brains. He brought glory to Germany and struck fear in the hearts of the enemy. Winston Churchill said that “We have in Rommel a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.”1 He was admired for his prowess within his country and outside of Germany as well. The British considered him to be a model soldier and a model gentleman. Perhaps most importantly…
In the therian world, there are meanings for everything from the animals to the colors and names. Not many therians know about the meanings of the colors they see, but sometimes having a loving for one color means more than you think. For example, if you like the color green it may mean you have some connection with nature and balance. If you like the color blue, it may mean there is something in your life that is unbalanced but balanceable. Each color has it’s own meaning, and each meaning is unique. One of the many beliefs that therians have is that at one point, whether it be past life or present, they were a real animal. Therians wonder if maybe they were sent to this life because they did something wrong and were banished from the spirit world. Some other theories are that they were sent here not because they did something wrong but because they have some reason to be here, whether it be simply helping someone or just pure curiosity got them sent to the real world. In the folklore I have read it speaks of fox quite often, and they talk about how the fox therian had to hide in order to survive. In the story “Fox Hill near Dodow” they speak of how therians must hide “One day a great hunt was organized, and our fox was among those pursued by the huntsmen. A bullet hit him, and suddenly a schoolmaster was lying there before the bewildered huntsman. The bullet had struck the fox strap and ripped it apart.” Many of the folklore about fox therians involve death. I’m not sure why, but they always seem to have a loving for death. Their love for death is a bit creepy, but maybe it’s because they are scavengers, so places like graveyards are a great place to find food. One folklore comes in my mind when I think of a fox, this story speaks of how the fox therian became human because he/she wanted to, but in order to become human the fox must find a…
