Live Science Contributor, Alina Bradford says, “The most common pet hamster, the Syrian hamster, also known as the teddy bear hamster or golden hamster, usually grows to about 6 inches (15.24 cm) long.” (Bradford) Their diet is not a major expense. They eat hamster food bought at local pet stores, but they also “eat seeds, grains, nuts, cracked corn, fruits, and vegetables.” (Bradford)

Next, I will proceed with the common hygiene and health problems that are faced by those puppies. According to the article published in Animals in 2000, puppies suffer from open sores and skin infections due to being fed with cheap or maggot-infested food, assuming meal time are not missed. Most often, the supply of water being provided to the dogs is unhygienic and can be breeding ground for mosquitoes and algae. In the worst condition, some of the dogs are not even given water supply regularly and are left in extremely high temperatures causing them to become dehydrated. This is one of the reasons the puppies and their mothers die very frequently in the mills.

Chipmunks Chipmunks are related to the squirrel and are actually part of the squirrel family. Alternating light and dark stripes along their cheeks and backs help them hide from predators such as hawks, weasels, coyotes, etc. Chipmunks are small mammals and hibernate in their dens or “burrows” during the winter like bears but they do not use fat to keep themselves alive. They like to live alone in their dens and they are good at climbing trees and are great swimmers. One chipmunk can gather up to 165 acorns in one day which means that within just two days, that chipmunk would have enough food to last them the whole winter even though they typically more food than they need; safety precautions, am I right?!

Just like the Rattus Norvegicus forages to find its food, these rats also forage to build their nest. Any leaves, garbage, twigs, paper, feathers, and shredded vegetation that these rats find will be what their nest is made out of. Then, the burrows that these rats dig themselves are used as a place to store food, nesting, and an area to hide. The rat species Rattus Norvegicus tends to live in big packs, with a dominant male as their “leader”.

The grizzly bears adapt to their environment by hunting down their own food. They hunt down carcasses of caribou, moose calves, walruses, ground squirrels, and salmon as well

This is significant in certain plants such as the Kudzu plant. Kudzu plants are also an invasive species that can cause damage throughout the ecosystem. The effect the Kudzu bug has on the environment is dependent on what it eats. Not only do they eat the soy bean plants, but they eat the stems and leaves of many different legumes . This can lead to extreme reductions in soybean growth.

Although there is inconsistencies in the bear's body temperature the bear's body temperature is still changing. As seen in The Graph you can obviously see the body temperature going down during the winter (January-March) , when they're hibernating, and back up in the spring (April - `June). For the differences, for example - bears aren’t in a deep sleep. Although they aren’t in a deep sleep like most animals, bears sometimes wake up during hibernation to get a drink if they are dehydrated. So, they wake up because they have to if they don’t want to die of dehydration (Video) .

They had a great admiration for an owl and panther because they are nocturnal. Even today their baskets and tear dresses reflect it. They weren’t people who liked to fight so most of their weapons were for survival. Thye had hand axes, knices, shovels, wooden rakes, and fish hooks made from bone and sticks. We still use some of the same tools.

Pandas could live in the deep forest, snow and near rocks. Due to their fur, it provides camouflage for safety. Panda spends about at least 10 hours a day looking for food and sometimes they eat grass, bark, stem, leaf, and some wild plants. If they get a chance, they also feed on bamboo rats.

Animals with natural camouflage colors inherited their colors from their parents, or occasionally with new colors from genetic mutations. New colors can be good or bad. Animals which are born with bad camouflage colors are easy to spot, so they don't tend to live long. For example, a white deer would be easier for a cougar to find and eat. On the other hand, a white cougar would be easier for a deer to avoid, so the cougar would starve.

Gets Energy Wombats are herbivores that feed at night and mainly eat grasses which include snow tussocks for the Bare-nosed wombat and the Southern Hairy-nosed wombat which eats spear grass, perennial grasses. Wombats also eat herbs, roots, fungi, leaves, mosses, marsh plants and seem to prefer young tender grass shoots when available. Bare-nosed wombats will also forage for food along the seashore. During droughts wombats will also dig up dead grass to get to the roots.

Eggs and nestlings can fall prey to raccoons, foxes, lynx, coyotes, raptors, crows and ravens. Adult birds fall prey to other birds in their own species. Owls impact their habitat by eating small rodents, like mice and rabbits. These animals, if left uneaten affect their habitats by over population.

Mink Animal The American mink animal is a member of the weasel family and its name is derived from the Swedish work “meank.” Minks were successfully raised for profits from their pelts until the late 60s when the supply outnumbered demand and the production costs outweighed profits. During this time, many mom and pop mink farms went out of business. Even so, minks are still the primary animal raised for profits from their pelts, with the vast majority of mink farms located in the northern states.

Site Location The location of our site is in Bartow County, Georgia. This site is best known as the Leakey Site. It was an archaeological resource survey of proposed widening along state route 61. The two site locations we decided to focus our research on are 9BR663 and 9BR665.

The Camosun Bog is currently an environmental wetland that produces berries and food for plants and animals around the area. The government is currently thinking of taking over the bog to create houses for the problem that is going on in Vancouver which is the growing population with not enough housing. Since there is not enough housing, this results to making the houses more expensive which struck up the idea to the program for the low income earners in Vancouver. Developing the Camosun Bog would impact negatively because the bog will die eventually and instead we should create housing on that land for the governments program for the people earning low income in their jobs. The bog is slowly dying because of the change of climate around us.
