This scenario is an absolute disaster; I could not even imagine the possibility of having 20 mice roaming around in my attic. Initially, the cat would catch the five slowest mice. Then, I believe that eventually the cat would catch the five medium fast mice. Now the real problem starts, mice can reproduce at a phenomenal rate. Let’s assume that of the 10 mice left, five are males and five are females. "At 6 weeks old the female can become pregnant. [The] gestation [period for mice] is 3 weeks, and under optimal conditions the female can become pregnant again immediately after giving birth” (AFRMA, n.d., para.1). To make matters worse a female mouse can have anywhere from 5-10 babies in a litter, so the five remaining female mice could potentially…

Armadillos have one of the highest rates of expansion being 10 times the active rate of a mammal. I think this is because they came from Mexico and the Southern Americas to America and since they do not have much meat on them, they are able to not be hunted. Also Armadillos had this invasion because of the large rivers and hunters in southern America. The armadillos also moved because of the humans invading them in Texas when Humans would start fires in the prairie grass. This then caused the overpopulation of armadillos in Florida due to no more predators, fires and rail road travel where the armadillo would then sneak onto the train and sneak off in Florida. These armadillo were also brought into Floridian zoos as pets and they would escape that. Also a cool interesting fact is that armadillos can live 20 years or even longer (sucks for the ones on the side of the road). So if armadillos can live up to 20 years or even longer they give birth to 4 babies at a time and they have the ability to delay implantation of fertilized eggs for…

Gender socialization, or the “patterns of behavior taught to children and adults in order to help them learn to behave as acceptable females or males,” begins strikingly early in life (Disch 1). While society as a whole is responsible for carrying out such socialization, many researchers believe that the strongest influence on gender role development seems to occur within the family setting, with parents passing on, both overtly and covertly, their own beliefs about gender (Witt 1). Because parents have the strongest initial influence and control over the early gender socialization their children undergo, they also have the potential to end the cycle of oppressive gender socialization most children experience from birth onward, and eventually…
As a freshman in college veterinarian school seems like a daunting and almost impossible task. Many upperclassmen I’ve talked to have told me that to get into veterinary school you must have a 4.0. With all this being said I’ve also met colleagues who had a 4.0 and yet their application was rejected.

Avma stands for American Veterinary Medical Association, its mission is to be an advocate for it’s 88,000 veterinarians members and to unite and improve the veterinary profession as a whole. This website was the golden answer to all of my questions, in the article “ Veterinary School Admission 101” it contains a list of steps, tips, and insider tricks that are aimed at giving you the best chance possible of being accepted into Veterinarian School. As a small animal science major and one of the thousands of undergraduates applying to veterinarian school, I want my…
