Narwhals
Have you ever wondered about Narwhals? Well, this is what my report is about. My first paragraph is about the traits that Narwhals have. For example, the Narwhal’s horns are actually their tooth. My second paragraph is the conditions that Narwhals go through. The Narwhals live in cold waters with mostly ice. The last paragraph is the values that Narwhals have. The tusks can cost up to $5,000,000! This is my essay.
Narwhals have many different traits and this is what this paragraph is about. The Narwhal is their common name and their scientific name is Monodon monoceros. In Old Norse, Narwhal means “Corpse Whale”. They can be legally hunted and the Narwhals natural predators are polar bears, orcas, and sharks. The Narwhal's tusk or horn is

    BIO120 Proposal

    The White-Nosed Coati (Nausa Narica) belongs to the Procyonidae family and is a relative of the raccoon. The most prominent feature that distinguishes Nausa Narica is it’s long tail, which extends to about 50 cm in length, and accounts for approximately half of its total body span. The white-nosed coati inhabits dry and moist forests all throughout South America where climbing trees are an important aspect of their day-to-day life. The main predators of the white-nosed coati, boas and hunting cats and birds of prey, are also adapted to arboreal life making efficient climbing and balance while climbing crucial for the coatis survival. The length of their tail thus presents itself as an acquired trait that enables them to maintain balance as they climb trees in addition to its uses in the social organization of the species. As Hass and Valenzuela (2002) observed in Nausa narica their tail has uses in the social organization within a population against the threat of predators. The length of their tail allows them to be seen over tall grasses and vegetation when on the ground, enabling them to communicate with each other as well as communicate to the predator that they have been identified as a potential threat. It has not yet been established whether the white-nosed coati would have the same survival and reproductive success in their environment with their existing predators if their tails were shorter in length resembling that of its close relative the raccoon, although it seems plausible. The length of the white-nosed coatis (Nausa narica) tail is an adaptation in response to the external threat of predators that affects their survival within their environment.…

    Shark Culling Research Paper

    The shark is known to be a terror of the ocean that does nothing more than kill human’s, at least this is what was think of these creatures until more research was discovered. The truth is that the shark is a beautiful creature that has more than 440 species that is being hunted to extinction. Not many people are killed by sharks, as it is more common to be killed by a vending machine, than a shark. These creatures do not need to be hunted, as they are already on the verge of extinction.…

    White Tailed Deer Speech

    The white-tailed deer, one of the most prized large game animals in the world. But how is it so prized? As you sit in the stand to wait on such a magnificent creature you begin to wonder why it is so prized. The white-tailed deer is nothing out of the ordinary, with its common colors such as: khaki-tan fur such as that of dress pants, the antlers that seem to stand out like tree branches, and the white beard that can stretch from the jaw down to his chest. You sit all day and hear nothing. You contemplate whether you should pack your things and leave every second, but you decide to stay. It almost seems as though the white-tailed deer is a ghost in the day. You can sometimes hear them travel through the woods but never be seen or never hear…

    Sand Shark Research Paper

    The sand shark is very important to my tribe, and I shall tell you why. Once, a very long time ago, a group of hunters were looking for animals for food and supplies. The eldest, and wisest, said “We must continue hunting! Do not lose hope!” Suddenly a squirrel scampered across a cedar branch. The youngest was quick, he raised his bow, arrow drawn, and shot. The squirrel was too quick, the arrow missed. Several days later, hunger spread throughout the village. The three hunters had failed to collect enough food for the winter. Many died, some went mad with starvation. One day in winter, the hunters had no choice but to hunt. After several hours, they noticed that one spot of water had not frozen. The hunters made the decision to go fishing.…

    Bloody Ice Analysis

    “Bloody Ice” is an essay arguing against the mass slaughter of Harp Seals. The author reveals the legal limits for the amount of seals allowed to be killed each year as stated by the U.S. Seal Protection Act and pleads for the further reduction of those limits. The passage argues that the inevitable extinction of the animals and the inhumane methods by which they are killed are cause for severe regulations on seal hunting. In the conclusion of the paper, it is suggested that ranching the seals would reduce impact on seal population and cut down dependency on the seal industry. The essay starts off well, but generally lacks in persuasively arguing its point and is therefore ineffective as a whole.…

    Feral Hogs

    Sus scrofa, commonly known as feral hogs, have been present in North America region since the arrival of the earliest settlers in the sixteenth century (Ditchkoff and West 2007). Colonist’s originally released feral hogs because of the high adaptability of this species to their surrounding habitat and ability to survive thus being a ready food supply for settlers. Due to their high adaptability to new habitat, this solution species for the survival of settlers has now become a problematic species within the ecosystem today. Feral hogs currently occur in 40 of the 50 states, can strongly influence ecosystem processes, and often directly or indirectly affect native flora and fauna, as well as crops and soil (Mayer and Brisbin 1991, Ditchkoff and West 2007, Kaller et al. 2007, Hartin et al. 2007). Due to the strong and often negative effects feral hogs have on natural systems, as well as economically valued commodities, managers are often tasked with developing and implementing control programs for this species (Engeman et al. 2007, Rollings et al. 2007).…

    Food Critters

    I have multiple instances of the same object- food- and several other objects- critters- that move to aforementioned food objects and destroy- eat- them on collision. The critters only chase the food if no solid objects are blocking the line of sight- they can see it- and otherwise continue their default random movement. The problem is, this only works for the first instance of a food object created. If this first instance is placed somewhere the critters cannot see it, any other food instance, even if placed in clear view, will not be actively followed by the critters.…

    Feral Hogs

    Feral hogs have recently become a problem in middle Tennessee. Although these animals are not native to this area, it is believed that the hogs were brought in illegally for sport hunting. Although this move was ill advised, the wild hogs were trapped and brought into North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. If not controlled, the overpopulation of these animals will continue to cause extensive damage for residents. Wild hogs have continued to overpopulate areas and in an effort to find new land and areas of food sources, have continued to move west. These hogs are becoming a nuisance as far west as Wilson County in Tennessee.…
