Natures Weirdest Events In the Environmental Biology class I took this semester, we were required to watch two movies on things that are environmental in nature and to learn and to adapt more of an opinion and a clearer understanding about what goes on around us to determine whether they have a major and minor impact on our daily lives.
The first environmental movie I had watched was a season on Netflix, and this episode is called, “Natures Weirdest Events”. There are several different things talked about in this episode, which were weird yet intriguing to learn, especially new things that I had not known before watching this. Throughout the episode different doctors and experts explain why these weird events are happening and what causes

The tongue biters have seven legs, with claws on each one that makes them all the more strong and sharp. This species lives wide-range from seaweed, to trenches and even in back gardens.
I learned that the job of this insect is to latch onto a host and crush and tear at their flesh which over time eventually kills that host. Tammy Horton explains that when a marine
Biologist finds a species like this it is a joy feeling because they are so rare. As oppose to a couple buying fish to eat and coming home finding a gross parasite latched to the fish’s tongue isn’t the best site to see and usually grosses most people out. Learning about this and watching this movie so far goes to show what extremes some species will go to, to find food sources. Not only throughout this episode does it show weird events occurring with species, but also with the weather occurrences. 1C) A Third interesting thing about this movie that I had watched, had taken place on September 23, 2009 in Sydney. An event that amazed the world, the sky had literally changed colors overnight. It was a drench, red blood color. It had looked like as almost if you were on mars. The whole area was very

Sarah K. Castle, in her scientific fiction “The Mutant Stag at Horn Creek” develops the story to tell the nature-culture hybrids and its effect on human-kind and other creatures. The story sets in one location called “Horn Creek” and the main character “Sue” a park ranger and a narrator of the story. The author shows the effect of human meddling with natures at the very beginning of the story. A “Grand Canyon” which is the story plays had been mined and it starts to be closed for visitors and Horn Creek was one of them. In this fiction author is more about to say that human kind intervention in nature is the reason for the natural world disaster.
The day goes from casual days hanging out, to violent outbreaks. Nevertheless, the ticking clock that gives the impression of a bomb adds suspense, influencing viewers to wait as the final scene will leave you
There is so much life here, he thought, and so many secrets. It would be a shame to lose all this to callous loggers and industrialization. Advance science and medical research depends upon the findings within a tropical rainforest. New bugs, new plants, new trees, and on rare occasion a new species of animal can be found here. Any good biologists, botanists, geneticists, medical scientists, microbiologists, and zoologists knows that a possible cure for cancer may lie just under the bark of a mysterious tree waiting to be discover or the world 's most deadly virus waiting to kill
This beautiful looking fish packs a punch: The fish has venomous spines that deliver an extreme pain that can last for days. In extreme cases, the venom can even cause paralysis. The LIonfish is an apex predator on the reefs using its fins to coral small fish and anything it can fit into it’s mouth into a corner before it strikes quickly swallowing it whole. The lionfish feeds on an array of over 50 species including ecologically and economically important species. ("Lionfish Biology Fact

Earth, the home to humans, animals, and all of biological diversity, experiences changes every second of every day, and these changes are referred to as biological altercations. Biological altercations, like the Santa Ana winds, are commonly disputed among society due to both the positive and negative outcomes of the altercations. The Santa Ana winds are extremely dry winds that affect Southern California and are known to cause wildfires. Individuals like Joan Didion argue that a Santa Ana brings darkness and danger, whereas other individuals like Linda Thomas argue that it brings beauty and value. Each side of this dispute is discussed in Linda Thomas’ essay “Brush Fire”, and
Depictions of the apocalypse are guaranteed to be a hit movie, as the stories force us to become heroic and imagine ourselves in that situation.6 The real-life apocalyptic imagery seen in this film: earthquakes, city in rubble, and intense weather conditions were overwhelming, but films such as this one help us cope with it. The core of the film is inspired from the biblical Book of Revelation, where Jesus Christ foretold signs of the end times. This film shatters the barriers between reality and fiction, when Jay is seen quoting from the Bible, as the group is being convinced it’s Biblical “Judgement Day” and not a “zombie
Hey Joann, I agree with you, those videos from Unnatural Causes are crazy! It 's insane how your neighborhood can determine how many years you 're going to live. I used to live in a neighborhood were people were afraid to walk, cars were always broken into, the helicopter was always looking for someone. It was scary, but it was the only place my parents could afford.
While writing Seven Events That Made America America Larry Schweikart was possibly trying to inform readers of important events that happened throughout history that have been forgotten or have not gotten the attention that they deserve. When Martin Van Buren had his “nightmare” about the impending statehood bill for Missouri in 1819 was going to be the start to big problems in America. Van Burens main goal was to eliminate the issue of slavery in the south. Martin Van Burens big ideology was that he was from the North but had southern values that gave him an advantage because that made him the only plausible national candidate. Van Buren got an idea of using the newspapers as propaganda instruments to inform citizens of his new party which allowed more people to learn about his party faster.

Each time we read a book or watch a documentary we have the choice to either agree or disagree with the opinion of the author or director. Overwhelming evidence proves that humans are at the source of crop circles. Though scientists believe there may be something we cannot comprehend behind the mysteries of crop circles, with the information we have, only the conclusion of talented hoaxers can be reached. Confessions, social media, and video evidence make it clear that what we think is so otherworldly may be closer to home than we
