The plain zebra lives in a grassland of southern and eastern Africa. The plain zebras are herbivores meaning they only eat plants. They mostly spend their whole day eating grass, leaves, and stems. When it starts to get dry zebras will travel a great distance in order to find food or water. The black and white stripes make the zebra most recognized animal in the world. This animal is the way it is because of the stripes it makes it stand out of the rest of its common ancestors.…
In this article, the author asserts that spreading the zebra mussel in North America is a threat since this invasion cannot be stopped, and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that there are some ways to stop the spreading of this fish because our knowledge is increased and it is not limited. He also contrasts with the author's reasons by proving the additional convincing information.…

As George Washington retired from his presidential position in 1796, he left a grim reminder to the people of the newly independent United States of America: the independence of states, peace at home and abroad, safety, prosperity, and liberty are all dependent upon the unity between states. To promote the national strength, he urges the people to place their identity as Americans above those of their state, region, and interests. In fear of the impeding sectionalism, Washington included a fair warning to the people of the United States, the dangers of political parties to the government and the country as a whole. The idea of political parties, although warned thoroughly by our very first president, continuously solidified itself into the core of American government until it has become two standing pillars of modern politics: the Democratic Mules and its counterpart, the Republican Elephants. In 21st century politics, these two reigning parties, both having changed and altered their focus over time, have maintained a core value system, ideas beliefs, and key constituencies, which are made apparent throughout political campaigns; no better evidence than the 2012 political party platforms articulates the political position which each party represents.…
Llamas and alpacas look like doppelgangers of each other but can be vastly different in multiple ways. Their differences in features, face, and personality set them apart. But, their similarities in origins, diet, lifespan, and gestation period make them practically identical. Whether they’re raised for their soft fiber or their watchful personality, llamas and alpacas are both very unique and beautiful creatures and make it difficult to tell if they are identical or…
Background: There are three extant species of elephant: Elaphas maximus (Asian elephants), Loxodonta africana (African elephants), and Loxodonta cyclotis (African forest elephants). Their taxonomic hierarchy is as follows:…
The camel is an excellent example of how animals can physiologically adapt to their environment. Camels are generally found in African and Asian countries, where the climate is often hot and dry. In order to survive, the camel has adapted beautifully to its surrounding environment. The large hump(s) on located on the camel’s back, contrary to popular belief, is actually a large storage of fat. When on long journeys across the desert or when food is scarce, the camel can feed off the nutrients stored in the fat. Camels can go days without food or water, and safely lose up to 40% of its body weight. This is due in part to the camel’s plasma fluid being maintained (at the expense of tissue fluid) so that its circulation is not impaired. The camel’s body absorbs water very slowly from the stomach and intestines, allowing time for equilibration. Their erythrocytes can also swell to 240% of its normal size without bursting, lending to the animal’s ability to hold dubious amounts of water. In a further effort to aid the animal survive the arid climate, the kidneys have also evolved. To help reduce water loss, the kidneys can produce urine so concentrated it contains twice the salt content of sea water and thick as syrup. Camels can also use their excrement to hydrate if absolutely necessary – it has developed the ability to extract water from their fecal…

In many areas, the deer have adapted to eat primarily agricultural crops (crops grown by humans). In many parts of the country, a deer's diet may consist of up to 50% farm grown corn. Obviously the deer eat some native foods, such as some trees and bushes, particularly buck brush and rose, but along with small amounts of dogwood, chokecherry, plum, red cedar, pine, and many other species of plants. Forbs, particularly sunflowers, are important, however grasses and sedges are used only briefly in spring and fall.…
In the novel and movie Animal Farm, has least differences but many occurred with similarities.
