The experimenters traveled to an African safari to perform the experiment with their test subjects (an African elephant and a white mouse). They hid the mouse in elephant dung and rolled over the dung whenever elephants passed by. At first there was speculation that the elephants might have been startled by the moving dung.

  • Savanna Rainforest: Decrease In The Ecosystem

    553 Words  | 3 Pages

    The number of savanna hares, the primary consumers, decreased, so there won’t be as many animals to control the amount of grass. This allows more grass to grow, eventually creating an overabundance. However, on the other hand, the caracals won’t have as much food supply, so they will have to experience a decline to adjust accordingly, though the caracals do have other animals they feed off of. These animals could experience an increase in population, if they feed off of grass, but this is not certain (if this were the case, the caracals might not experience a decrease in population). Likewise, the lions will have a decrease in food supply as well, since there are less caracals, so they too will decrease in population, though they also have other animals to feed off of.

  • Zoos Research Paper

    1093 Words  | 5 Pages

    As stated in “Do elephants belong in zoos?”, zoos not only fund research on wild animals but also contribute to reducing the conflicts between them and people, for example, by planting crops that frighten elephants away and exploring the cases of poaching that could affect their mortality (Cohn 717). Moreover, most of the scientific matter on elephants such as facts about their communications, reproductive physiology and behavior were originally gathered on the ground of captive animals (Cohn 717). In his article, Borrell expresses the same opinion. He states that zoos serve as “a living museum” that help scientists to find necessary information on species for the research, and these facts can be used to prevent the extinction of the animals living in the wild (Borrell 9). Besides, zoos are crucial for raising money for conservation programs by giving people firsthand wildlife experience that increases interest in wild animals (Borrell 9).
