Childhood memories of dinnertime hold a special place in my heart. What used to be a daily experience of family unity and sharing is unfortunately now reserved for holidays and an occasional Sunday or birthday gathering. Rather than each family member drifting into his or her own individual world as their life grew busier, we always had the interaction during mealtime to strengthen our family bonds and enrich the daily experience of community life. My mother would create a meal consisting of either a pasta, or meat and potato type meal for our family of six. Our evening meal always included a salad, plenty of vegetables, and a basic dessert like brownies, pie, or ice cream. There was never an official dinner time since my dad’s schedule varied. Therefore,…
Narwhals are protected, mostly by two very important laws. One is that narwhals are illegal to hunt unless they’re part of the Inuit tribe because narwhal is a part of the nutrients in their diet. The second law is that the tribe is limited to killing five narwhals per year. These laws help to dramatically lessen the amount of narwhals that are killed per year, but sometimes these laws are poorly reinforced. These rules are by the Narwhal Protection Regulations,which are part of the Canadian Fisheries Act. Some other parts of this are mothers and calves are at all times protected, no exceptions, full use made of narwhal carcasses, and the complete documentation and labeling of every tusk that comes into their possession.…

Of the four bonds, the intimacy and nurturing bond appeared to be the strongest. The riders often spoke of their horses with affection, referring to the animal as they would a loved one. The friendship appeared two-sided. The horses would often nuzzle and interact physically with their rider. Their horse was a safe haven for the participants. They don’t judge or degrade the equestrian like another human would. One important note made by Yorke, Adams, and Coady was “riding appeared to be the center of the participants’ lives, defining who they were.”…

Have you ever looked at a horse and wonder how we got to the modern horse we have today? Imagine a world where there were horses of all colors, sizes, shapes were roaming the earth, but was no bigger than a size of a dog. Today’s horses only represent a fraction of the horse family tree, known as Equine. All the other branches of horses called Equidae are now extinct. The Equid family appeared 55 million years ago, in North America, which branched off into different genera such as grazers, left browsers, and mixed feeders. Today the Equid family is only represented by Equus genus, that is composed of seven to nine species, including zebras, asses, donkeys, and horses. These species are also in the order Perissodactyla, or odd-toed animal. Tracking the line of descent from Hyracotherium to Equus reveals several evident patterns: degradation of toe number, increase increment of molar teeth, extending of the face, and growth in body size; but these patterns are not found in all the horse lines.…
