How Did The Red Pandas Live In The Forest

Lions are large felines that are traditionally depicted as the "king of the jungle." These big cats once roamed Africa, Asia and Europe. However, now they are found in only two areas of the world and are classified into two subspecies. Asiatic lions live in India 's Gir Forest; African lions live in central and southern Africa. Though they look similar, these two subspecies are very different in size, habitat, diet and

From “Living Like Weasels”, by Annie Dillard, To “The Sky Tree” by the Huron Tradition, these separate texts and the times they have been told have a lot of things in common. They represent each other on how these two really different text styles the perform in.

In his article, Hemmer points out that the snow leopard basically hunts on mountain wild goats and sheep. In the alpine meadows, in the middle belt of mountains and in the coniferous forest, the snow leopard hunts deer and boars. He also eats small animals, including marmots. In the Pamirs, it feeds mainly on Siberian mountain goats, rarely on argali. In the Himalayas, the snow leopard hunts mountain goats, wild rams, small deer, Tibetan hares. Vegetable food - green parts of plants, grass, etc. - snow leopards are used in addition to meat ration only in the summer.

The Saimiri Sciureus also known as the Common Squirrel Monkey, lives in tropical jungles and forests of Central and South America. They prefer to live in dense tropical regions that are close to bodies of water such as streams or rivers. They primarily live in the middle of the tree canopies so they will not get eaten by predators. However, in some areas they have been known to forage on the ground for food.

William Shakespeare once said, “Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.”, and the sloth sure can't run fast. Well, actually sloths can’t run at all. Both the two and three toed sloths can’t run at all but, there are still many other similarities and differences between the two and three toed sloth.

While researching if we should reintroduce grizzly bears into the local San Bernardino and Los Angeles Mountains, I have came to a decision that grizzly bears should be reintroduced. Grizzly bears become extinct in a matter of 75 years. Wikipedia says, "Less than 75 years after the discovery of gold in 1848, almost every grizzly bear in California had been tracked down and killed...grizzlies were never seen again in California." Now, only 1,800 grizzlies are left in the United States. Like what happened in Yellowstone with the wolves, reintroducing grizzly bears could have great effects on the ecosystem. First, according to defenders.org, “Grizzly bears are found many different habitats, from dense forests to subalpine meadows, open plains and arctic tundra.” And according to Western Wildlife.org, “Grizzly bears are most often found on upper elevation slopes.” Both these quotes show that grizzly bears can be supported well in the local San Bernardino and Los Angeles Mountains. In addition, grizzly bears already lived in Los Angeles, and then, they were hunted to extinctions. Evidently, grizzly bears can live in California. Second, the grizzly bear diet consists of mainly berries, so they play a huge role in dispersing seeds.

The Saola lives in the forests of South Asia’s Annamite Mountains that are located on the border between Vietnam and Laos. They use to live at the base of the mountain but they have been pushed farther up the mountains due to greater settlements by humans. The Saola is most commonly found in dense, evergreen forests that have a good source of running water. During the summer months they migrate further up the alpine slopes, venturing down during the winter when the water sources higher up have run dry and there is therefore also less to eat. The Saola share their habitat with Tigers and crocodiles which ironically enough are their biggest enemies. The Saola are herd animals that tend to be in groups/herds no larger than 7 animals. The

The Kudzu vine is an extremely belligerent and invasive plant that can grow out of control once established. Kudzu overtakes and covers all plants in its path which results in the elimination of native plant species. It can cover trees and block out the light needed for the photosynthesis process or damage the limbs of the tree with the intense weight of the vines. It also has the capability to leave land worthless for agriculture or forestry. This amazing and terrifying vine covers the South and is spreading throughout the country at an incredible rate. ("The Growing Problem of Kudzu.")

The Kermode Bear is a different kind of black bear because it has a gene that normal black bears don’t have. This bear was mentioned in a book called Touching Spirit Bear.

Animals and plants become at risk for extinction, or endangerment, when environments and ecosystems are changed by human activities or other natural causes (Wright & Boorse, 2014). Regrettably, human activity is usually the source of environmental change and endangerment to a species through pollution, over-consumption, and in some regions of the world, over-population (Wright & Boorse, 2014). Also attributable to the destruction of a species, are the human activities that result in habitat loss and the introduction of an exotic species into foreign ecosystems (Wright & Boorse, 2014). Human activity is not solely to blame, as each species also has natural predators; however, habitat loss, relating to economic development, appears to be the

The red panda; a species somewhat sizeable than a domestic cat; is currently an endangered species. The red panda has a body type similar to one of a bear with fur that is thick with a rustic colour. They also have a lengthly, shaggy tail for balance and for warmth during the seasons with lower temperatures. The red panda is an omnivore. Its diet consists predominantly of bamboo, about 95%; which is very atypical for a mammal. They occasionally feed on insects, fruits, and small organisms, including acorns, berries, mushrooms, bird eggs, mice, rats, lizards, and small birds. The red panda inhabit a narrow range extending from west Nepal to east and southwestern China. They are found in forests with quantities of bamboo.

The Lowland Streaked Tenrec is a hamster sized mammal that is a current resident in Madagascar. The Lowland Streaked Tenrec is black with yellow stripes and a long nose. It also has yellow bristles on its neck. The word bristle means “short, prickly hair.” The Lowland Tenrec has black and white quills also down its back.

Antonia Susan Byatt, the author of “The Thing In The Forest”, was born in Sheffield, England. In 2009 she won the Man Booker Prize for her collection of fiction, short stories. The short story “The Thing In The Forest”, discusses and demonstrates how big events have the capability of affecting our lives without us realizing it. Some people who have lived during wartime or have been involved in a war, may react differently to certain situations. Occasionally we may over exaggerate our fears and create creatures or objects that are not real. The three main symbols of the story is Penny, Primrose and the monster. Penny and Primrose are two girls who have to leave their city and move to a mansion in the country, along with other children during

Borneo, located in Southeast Asia, is a vast island divided amongst Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. It is the third largest island in the world, with a population of approximately 16 million. Borneo is home to the oldest tropical rainforests in the world, which are approximately 130 million years old. These extravagant rainforests have up until recently entirely covered the island. Amidst the world’s most biologically varied ecosystems, the tropical rainforests in Borneo are home to many animal and plant species, including gibbons, Orang-utans, sun bears, and more. The rainforests are also home to many endangered animals. The forests in Borneo are greatly endangered, which can have many negative effects on animals and humans alike. One reason
