Did you know turtles can breathe through their butts? Now‚ I know this may sound weird‚ but it is true. Turtles are a species that have adapted to their environments in a way that allows them to breathe in three different ways‚ one of which is through their butts. This whole butt breathing adaptation is part of the aquatic turtles’ evolution. Apart from breathing through their butts there are two other ways turtles can breathe. The first way is the one most used among all creatures: through their

Turtles and Tortoise are different in many ways. Turtles and tortoises are reptiles‚ the only ones to have a shell. Their bodies are protected by a shell on top and underneath. Their backbone‚ breastbone and ribs have become part of the shell‚ so they cannot remove their shells. Like all other reptiles‚ turtles are cold blooded‚ which means their bodies are the same temperature as the surrounding air or water. They cannot remain active in cold weather. Most hibernate during winter‚ which means a

In my opinion I agree with the view of human character from which the Iroquois portray in this myth. The world is separated in two. One world is the crooked mind and the other is the straight mind‚ like the left-handed twin and the right-handed twin. To me the world is separated into good and evil. The good is basically the straight mind. For example someone that helps someone out with his or her homework is doing an act of kindness‚ which is labeled as a good person. Also for example some one that

Sometimes at night‚ when it is so dark the darkness becomes almost smothering‚ I lie awake listening to the cars outside and the endless barking of the dog next door. I think back through my life‚ to try and comfort me into restful sleep. I remember summers from my middle school days. The images yellowy‚ orange‚ warm‚ happy. Endless weeks abroad‚ the sun almost unbearable in its cruel sunburnt heat. A time when swimwear wasn’t a terrifying thought: flabby thighs‚ see-through bikinis were things

The world is made up of people from different religions‚ ethnicities‚ and cultures; and they all have their own-tailored- creation stories. A story that explains how all things came to be and what gave everything meaning. A story that lies the foundation for all beliefs and expectations for the culture. A story that will be told for all generations. It may never be known which story is the true one. One of the more interesting comparisons in cultures is that of the Native Americans and the Puritans
