Frogs and koalas are both endangered animals. They are both having some complications with their habitats. But they have dissimilar things as well. Such as, living, food, and their safety.
One of the reasons that koalas are endangered is because people are trying to harm them by cutting down the trees they live and feed off. “Blue gum tree is a species of eucalyptus, eucalyptus trees are native to Australia and that is where the furry leave eaters spend most of their time, although koalas can walk on the ground they are better suited for life in the canopy” (as stated in the article “The koala search”). As for frogs they are doing the same by the growing of human population which leads to more building and pollution, this causes fatal consequences
The golden frog was usually seen throughout El Valle and nearby towns the locals begin to notice that they no longer was seeing the frogs around and throughout the towns nearby. The golden frog in bright in color and can blend into the back ground of the rainforest Kolbert describes “ the panama golden frogs are toxic it's been calculated that the poison contained in the skin of just one animal could kill a thousand average size mice hence the do color makes them stand out against the forest floor.(Kolbert p19). Kolbert States Millions of frogs or being found belly up throughout Panama researchers from all over did not have a direct conclusion to why the golden frog were dying all over. Biologist grew alarmed about this species and why the golden frogs has vanished from the
1.Frog can be skinned easily. – Because of its loose attachment. 2. Frog lacks cheek. – Because mouth extends from one ear to another.
Mariah Rocole APES 8-20-15 Endangered Species Today, 17,000 species are threatened to become extinct. The Pan paniscus more commonly known as the Bonobo, is an endangered species from the African continent. The Bonobo lives in the Congo Basin in Africa.
This is because they eat at a massive rate. All the animals they eat are the ones running around your yard. It is our job to recognize our mistakes as humans and help protect the native environment from these Cuban treefrogs and kill them. If we are to eliminate these frogs we will see a return to what the Florida environment used to
Around the world, poison frog populations have been declining due to unknown reasons. Two experiments were conducted promptly in order to find the cause of the disappearances. One hypothesis suggested that the poison frogs are in a decline because of an infectious fungus called chytrid fungus. On the contrary, another hypothesis alludes to the idea that decreasing leaf litter is causing the widespread decline. Although it seems that there are multiple reasons for the decline, it is unquestionable that, according to the data from the experiments, that leaf litter is one of the main components of the decreasing population of poison frogs, having multiple replicates of data is important in finding the answer to the decline, and that there is much more to investigate about this problem.
Because of this, many native species are dying out.
She then proceeds to introduce the idea of a global mass extinction and explains that in all of history, such an event has only occurred five times. The rate of the frogs’ disappearances, however, is alarmingly similar to a mass extinction and Kolbert presents “the notion that a sixth such event would be taking place right now” (Kolbert 11). Rather than simply telling us that a global mass extinction is occurring, Kolbert uses the idea of a mass amphibian extinction in the Americas to introduce it. This makes the audience more likely to agree with Kolbert as the story she told seems to be proof of what she is claiming. In addition, the example of the frogs shows the audience that the sixth extinction is a real and present
This exposure and education motivate people to protect the animals and provide entertainment. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. “The Arabian Oryx was hunted to extinction in the wild. However, from just a handful of animals in captivity the species was brought back from the brink thanks the conservation efforts of Phoenix Zoo and others.
Zoos may be very necessary for endangered species. But, there are different ways how to save and continue endangered species, and every zoo have had choice how they do it. Some zoos are breeding endangered species trying to continue the species, but that is not right, because it leads to very complicated health issues. For example white tiger who are very rare animal, breeding requirements are that all white tigers parents must be white tigers too, to get only white tiger, and so are zoos breeding white tigers fathers with their daughters and mothers with their sons. But some zoos again are preserving and studying endangered species in captivity to save endangered species in the wild.
I looked up why most of them are going are going endangered. I found out that mostly Monkeys/apes/gorillas, rhinos, elephants, big cats, bears, penguins, whales, cold blooded & other ocean animals, canines, birds, and turtles. These are the most endangered groups. I’ll start off with the elephants. Elephant tusks are made out of ivory which is used for several things in China.
Leatherback sea turtles, like in the Eastern Pacific along the coast of South America, are another endangered species that has suffered from the effects of poaching. Their meat and eggs are considered a delicacy in some countries. In other areas of the world, the turtles are hunted for different reasons. Jewelry, instruments, wall hangings, and ceremonial objects can be made from the turtle's skin and shells. Based on what happened to the rhino population, you are probably able to guess the effect on the sea turtles.
It is well known that eutrophication occurs when excess nutrients are added to a body of water and primary productivity is increased. However, the scientific paper, Aquatic eutrophication promotes pathogenic infection in amphibians, puts a direct focus on a specific parasite, Ribeiroia ondatra, and seeks to give evidence that the onset of eutrophication is the driving factor allowing the parasite to disrupt amphibian development. The authors set-out with the goal to provide evidence that eutrophication leads to an increase in the number of snails as intermediate hosts for the parasite, while also increasing the snail size and reducing snail mortality; providing more candidates to pass the parasite onto amphibians to inhibit their development. This research, as stated in the paper, looks to identify eutrophication as the factor promoting this pathogenic infection in the amphibians. Although some have tried to pinpoint this already, no evidence prior had been provided to
When animals lose their habitat (Anadiplosis), they are not accustomed to their new surroundings and could potentially go extinct. Species depend on forests to survive and when the forests are cut down, the animals have nothing left. Forests are heavily depended on for resources and ways of life. The Pachamama Alliance Organization claims that, “the tropical rainforests of South America are responsible for 20% of earth’s oxygen.” This proves the earth relies greatly on forests and may suffer consequences because of the speedy rate trees are being cut
This usually causes extinction within that species, and researchers have decided to do something about it. Although endangered animals are born in the wild, they should be sheltered and protected in nature parks because it helps decrease the amount of extinctions, allows a better and healthier environment, and the animals are protected from predators and human hunters. Endangered animals are to be kept in zoos because it decreases the amount of extinctions. Human activities have affected animals living in the wild dramatically throughout history.
