The whitetail is a reddish brown color in the summer and a grayish brown color in the winter. If you ever see a whitetail in the wild, you will quickly see how they got ...

In all sports, teams use mascots to represent their team’s pride, strength, and will to win. The role the mascot plays is an intimidation factor, as well as something to motivate the team. Teams will have mascots that range from anything, from an animal to an inanimate object, like a hammer or an orange. Mascots rarely fall under scrutiny, except for the mascots that represent Native American tribes, people or cultures. Many schools and teams use some sort of Native American reference as a mascot. The Native American mascots used range from names like the Indians, Chiefs, and Braves, which are some of the more generic ones, to Seminoles, Fighting Illini, and Chippewas to name some of the tribal based names.

Growing up there was always a lot of talk about the Indian Reservations around my home state of Minnesota. I decided I would pick an Indian tribe from the area in which I grew up in hopes I would learn more about them, even though I have not lived in Minnesota for over twenty years. I always found it quite comical when relatives would have to go to an Indian reservation to gamble, it was something I did not understand, especially when I live in Las Vegas and see it everywhere I go. I found the Red Lake Band of Chippewa to be the most interesting to me, mainly because it is the closest tribe and reservation to where I grew up.

A pair of equal sized birds of prey might overhunt an area and compete for food.

However, it does not adequately explain why it is the female who would eat the larger prey or the bigger portion and be the bigger mate. It also does not explain why some species have smaller RSD than others such as the Screech Owl for
