...stands out: the giant panda. The pandas live a peaceful and harmless life high in the remote mountainous regions of central China. The bamboo forests grow high, and are cool and wet—just the way the pandas prefer them to be. Pandas will climb upwards to 13,000 feet (3,962 meters) to feed on the bamboo that grows in their habitat; during the summer seasons, they will venture even higher. Pandas mainly feed on bamboo, but will eat birds or rodents as well. It is in this peaceful bamboo jungle habitat that the giant panda gives birth to and nurtures its young. The Giant Panda is one of the rarest and most exotic animals this world has given birth to. Pandas are mammals; they’re omnivores. The average lifespan in the wild for a healthy Panda is twenty years. The sizes they grow to are four to five feet (one to one and a half meters) tall and weigh upwards to 300 pounds (136 kilograms). In the past few decades the Chinese Giant Pandas have been added to the endangered species list because of their decreasing numbers. The Pandas made the list due to false pregnancies, poachers, poor nurturing, and lack of bamboo growth. First, pandas are slowly decreasing in numbers because of lack of reproduction. Pandas in the wild and zoos (artificial habitats) are losing interest in one another because of loss of habitat, food, and freedom. Over the decades there has been human contact with the pandas’ habitat, which is disturbing the mating rituals of the pandas. The lack of food...

Even sometime parents ask their children to do something even if their children do not want to do so. Maybe it is why children going to be young and would like to be rebel. However, the children always listen to their parents while they would lose some creation for themselves. In other words, human beings are animals who stand on the top. For instance, a pet has had breed by his mother, the pet will lose his nature skill. Such as tiger waits for food at the zoo and the Panda stands for country’s cute pet. Children follow the parents’ plan therefore lose the creation away liking a...

...Is there ethical treatment for animals in captivity? The term “ethical” implies the moral basis of treatment towards animals while “captivity” denotes confinement or lack of freedom. The unmistakable contrast in these two words itself creates the argument whether ethical treatment is possible for animals in captivity. Humans had often been overly considerate about moral principles while dealing with its own kind. Whenever ethics were encroached upon, man stood up against it, questioned it and regained it. But unfortunately, lacking advanced communication like humans, animals are unable to. Human intervention in wildlife has bereaved animals of total control over their own lives. Man may reason out his intrusion, yet, the animals in captivity, being deprived of their natural habitats and having bred in man-made enclosures for generations, tend to misperceive their animality. It is indispensable to have an insight into what causes the bereavement of animals and how it is caused, before looking into its moral principles. Among the contrastive places that I came across in which animal captivity is proceeded, wildlife preservation zoos are the most popular, and least considered as a confinement of animal freedom. Thousands of people visit zoos daily but rarely give a thought to the miserable lives that animals have to spend stagnating and sleeping, due to the less spacious and artificial residences provided. Some present enclosures in zoos have been changed to natural barriers...

...Extinction . As Dead as a Dodo! For every species that is alive today, perhaps a thousand more have lived previously and become extinct. Most of these extinctions occurred before humans evolved, and the species are known to us only through fossils The Dodo The dodo was a large (50 lb) flightless bird that lived on Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. It lived undisturbed for so long that it lost its need and ability to fly. It lived and nested on the ground and ate fruits that had fallen from trees. The island was uninhabited and the dodo had no natural predators. Then Mauritius was colonised in 1638. Dodos were hunted for food and easy to catch because they were not afraid of people. New competitors were brought onto the island (including pigs, cats and rats). These competitors ate the dodos' eggs in their ground nests and also ate the dodo’s young. The last dodo was killed in 1681. Answer the following questions using information from the text: 1. What was the dodo? 2. Out of the four causes of extinction we have learnt about, which two caused the extinction of the dodo and why? 3. When did the last dodo die? Dinosaurs There are many theories as to how the dinosaurs became extinct. Keep in mind that there is no absolutely proven theory. Asteroid Theory According to this theory a large asteroid or comet collided with Earth about 65 million years ago. Scientists think that such a large collision would throw so much dust into the air that sunlight would not...

... Very few people have wingspans much higher than their height. In history, the human with the largest recorded wingspan was Manute Bol. According to thesportster.com Bol’s wingspan was a full 8 feet 4 inches.

The californian condor is an animal that is quite endangered. According to defenders.org, as of May 2013 there are only 237 free-flying in California and surrounding areas. Californian Condors have faced many problems in the past. From pollution, to even being hunted, condors have seen it all.

...(Panda) 1. What background information do you need to know? Pandas are endangered, many other animals are also endangered 2. What are the key details that stand out? What are the supporting details? Big tuna wearing a panda mask and other unmasked tuna. 3. What issue does this seem to reference? We as a race try to save the “cute” well publicized animals. The less pretty or tastier animals are ignored. 4. What side of the debate is this visual taking? What perspective does the visual take? If tuna were cute or more publicized people would care and do more to save them. 5. How do we know what side the visual is taking? What specific claims are made? “Would you care if I was a panda?” 6. What does this visual want from its viewers? What message does it convey? To make people think about the fact that if an animal is considered “cute” or beautiful everything possible is done to prevent its extinction, and that people need to think about other animals as well. The picture portrays a school of blue-fin tuna in the ocean, but focuses directly on one wearing a panda mask. The text underneath it states, “Would you care more if I was a panda?” We all know that the panda is an endangered species and is near extinction. This visually argues that the blue-fin tuna is also becoming endangered, but with much less worry over the likelihood of extinction of this species. People care more about the panda than this fish. The reason the blue-fin tuna is...

...Animals for Rent In our society today, with all our advancements and breakthroughs, life in the 21st century is noticeably better than before. However, some problems will never go away, like war and death. Aside from that, a problem which has recently plagued our society is the practice of animals-for-rent. Animals, like humans, have their own habitats, and they live in what we collectively call the wild. Some humans have decided to pull these animals out of their homes and rent them for profit through the inhumane practice of animals-for-rent. These ignorant people are very cruel; they treat the animals as objects that only serve as entertainment to the public in the form of rental books or DVDs (Animal Aid, 2007). This unsafe and exploitative practice has gradually weakened animal rights and rips deeply into human morality and conscience. It is often the case that the people involve in this practice, this so-called exotic pet markets, give no regards to the survival of these animals, which are often on the endangered list. According to Richard Farinato (in The Humane Society of the United States, www.hsus.org), wild and exotic animals are favorable vectors for diseases and parasites, often the outbreak of diseases cause the death of a mass of animals. If this situation is continue without any resolution, these animals might become extinct. Because there are no concerns to the needs of the animals, the livelihood will decrease rapidly, and eventually they might not be...

...The topic I have decided to write about is zoos. I will try to put a cross the positive and negative aspects of such a place. I think that zoo's can be good and bad. First I will tell you why I think that they can be good. One reason that zoos are good because this is a place where anyone can spend his free time; make a trip with a family or friends. Zoos are very interesting place, because there people can come over and see exotic animals up close, without being in danger. Zoos have an important role in educating the public. Most zoos had a little sign in front of the animal telling a little bit about the animal and where it’s from so you learn a lot about the animals; find out a bit about the animal history that you may have never known without visiting a zoo. Following this, zoo is a good working place. For people who love animals, job in zoo – is a dream job. Zoo gives them opportunity to get to know animals from closer. But the importantly zoos are helping to protect endangered species from dying out. Zoos are protecting animals from predators and humans who are hunting them. Zoos are using many difficult programs to increase the number of species. Moreover zoos help animals who can not live in the wild. They help for animals that can not live in place where hat climate changed. On the other hand zoos are very expensive. It takes a lot tax payers money. I think it would be better to spend this money maybe on hospitals or for homeless people. Another reason is that...
