A. The hands and feet of a koala is an important part of their body.

    Koalas have undergone an interesting history as they evolved from their nimiokoala greystanesi ancestors,and how much they’ve changed in time.Also how their environment may have changed as the years went by. To me koalas are interesting because they are known for hugging trees and they do this because trees are like their natural air conditioners. They are also herbivores and they are nocturnal so they eat mostly at night. They also…

    Cliff Steer Reflection

    • 458 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The two speakers for this week were Dr. Craig Packer and Dr. Cliff Steer. Dr. Craig is a professor of the Ecology, Evolution, and behavior department and is also the director of the lion research department. I take the environmental science class, BIOL 1055 with the lab, so I've heard of his research before. I've learned a little bit about his research group and done research experiments using their Serengeti snapshot photos that he has mentioned. I find it interesting how there’s a correlation between the two class. Other than the correlation of the two class, I find his presentation and research interesting. I never knew that there was a difference in the lion's’ mane of the male, I didn’t know what it means or what it symbolizes. However I now know what it is used for, and I find it fascinating. I was really interested in how he talks, he made his presentation enjoyable and entertaining, making the listener or viewer wanting to learn more.…
