Description and Behavior
The Leopard had great variation in appearance and behavior. It is also the widest distributed of all the world’s wildcats. It’s coat color can vary from a pale yellow, to gold or a tawny color. It’s head and limbs and stomach are spotted with solid black blotches. Coat color and patterning are associated with it’s habitat.
1. Savannah Leopards – Reddish to orange color
2. Desert Leopards – Pale cream to a yellow-brown coloring,
The ones from cooler regions a more grayish color.
3. Rainforest Leopards – dark, deep golden coloring
4. High mountain Leopards – even darker than 3
Black Leopards/Black Panthers are found most frequently in humid forests but are just a color variation and not a subspecies. Variations in color has been the basis for the naming of 24 subspecies of Leopards in the Sub-Saharan Africa alone. However most of these animals are not really subspecies but merely color variations.
Eating and Hunting Habits
The Leopard has a great ability to adapt to different
availability of prey. They have adapted in size variations ranging from 41 kg full grown to 91 kg full grown. The Leopard’s prey ranges from tiny dung beetles to the adult male eland which can weigh up to 900 kg. The Leopard also eats mostly medium sized prey such as small antelope or other medium sized animals depending on climate and region. The Leopard also has no problems adapting to the overlapping of it’s hunting ranges with other large predators such as Lions because of their wide range of foods they consume. They are also very strong and have been known to carry prey up to 129 kg in weight into trees up to 5.9 km high. The Leopard also carries it’s prey into thick brush some hundreds of meters from the kill site just to get away from competing predators. They are generally most active from sunset to sunrise and kill more prey at this time than any other time.

To begin, the grey squirrel’s existence began in North America, spread across three continents, and could still continue to spread even today. The grey squirrel first originated in two countries in North America. It was found on the west side of the Mississippi River; in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and Montana. It reached as far north as Canada and claimed residence in the subdivisions of Manitoba, British Columbia, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Sackatchewan, and Ontario (Fischer, Lawniczak, Pagad). In later years, humans caused this squirrel to be introduced to foreign countries. Between 1876 and 1929, it was unintentionally released to Europe by The London Zoo. People also traveled to northern Italy and brought it over as a pet, where it was then released into the wild (Fischer). As of now, this animal is located in four European countries. These countries are Ireland, Scotland, England, and Italy (Fischer, Lawniczak, Pagad). In the future, the grey squirrel could effortlessly continue to disperse across other countries in Europe. These countries include France and Germany. It is also a threat to Spain and a number of other countries (Fischer).
Supporters of solitary confinement believe that Inmates that propose extreme dangers to prison staff and other inmates must be removed and placed in solitary condiment for their protection and sometimes the inmate themselves. Therefore, many would argue that when left alone in solitary confinement, it allows inmates to engage in self-reflection. Furthermore, many supporters of Solitary believe that disciplinary segregation is needed and has proven to keep stability in correctional institutions. Solitary confinement does solve the issue of physical violence and allows for personal reflection. While this argument is popular, solitary confinement causes extreme psychological consequences on inmates. When placed in solitary confinement inmates begin to lose sight to what real and mentally brake down over time. While held in solitary confinement for long periods of time prisoners experience hallucinations, extreme anxiety, amnesia, and violent impulse behavior. In 1997, a study done by the Human Rights Watch shows that 5% of the overall prison population in America has suffered some kind of psychotic illness due to extreme isolation. While Solitary confinement might try to bring down aggressive behavior, studies show that it actually causes greater
The Leopard is one of the five basic fighting styles. The Leopard is strong against the Dragon fighting style. It is weak against the Snake fighting style. The leopard is an offensive animal, so it is based off an offensive attacking style. The Leopard uses fast unceasing attacks and a nonstop rapid-fire barrage. The Leopard uses multiple hits at one time to defeat an opponent rather the one big hit so if the attacker misses one hit it is not important to the outcome. It uses the sum of multiple hits to beat an opponent rather than a few powerful hits.
“Bam bam bam” you hear gun-shots in the forest a person comes out with and endangered Jaguar its face covered in blood you want to help save its species, but you don't know how, but then you ask yourself “Do I want to save this species?” the Florida Panther should be helped and if not goodbye Florida Panther. Should we help wild cats? So many species of wild cats are endangered like the cheetah and the Back Jaguar, Tigers snow leopards, and lions are all on the endangered list. We need to help them because if there numbers drop to zero there won't be anymore wild cats. Can you imagine a world without cheetahs? Like in Asia the wild cats Asiatic cheetahs, Amur leopards, Sunda clouded leopards, clouded leopards, Asiatic lions, snow leopards and tigers are all endangered.
Solitary confinement is the confinement of very violent inmates and inmates are placed in super maximum cells. The justice system now has been proved to be overcrowded and ineffective, this drives inmates closer to insanity. Solitary confinement is the confinement of inmates who have committed a deadly crime or an inmate who was in jail and disrespected a guard. The conditions of these horrific places are nothing good. The confinement of these inmates is supposed to improve their violent ways instead it increases their crime rate. Even though many individuals believe solitary confinement is beneficial, there are many reasons why it is very dangerous for the inmates: the physical conditions, mental/physical abuse, and effects on their social life after.
The studies presented in this essay argue that gender inequalities exist, men and women both still ‘do gender’. Social role dictates your social position. The ‘traditions’ of gendered assignments such as a man being dominant, strong, and competitive where as a woman is known to be caring, giving, and compassionate are still at play within a society. Men are affected by crisis and complicit masculinity. Women are affected by stereotypical notions of their natural abilities and are discriminated against in areas such as the labour market where inequalities still exist even though legislation such as the Equality Pay Act 1970 and the Equality Act 2010 are in place. Reviewing the studies presented in this essay it could be said that as a society men and women both have a long way to go to eliminate gender

With too many people, if they have the discriminate for a long time, they will take to drugs, alcohol or smoking. All of that will make them quit the job, drop up school or doing stupid things. Today, we have too many groups of discrimination. This effects too much to social community. It is the reason for many conflicts and wars have been started.

Solitary has numerous side effects that pose a major concern and has been shown to have horrid effects on inmate, and this information has been evident since solitary’s beginning. From this time on, many Americans have developed a negative response towards the use of solitary confinement, and most Solitary practices dwindled in response to the impact of solitary on the psychology of the inmates until the early
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They live in Asia and belong to the same genus as the lion, leopard, and jaguar. Two major subspecies of the tiger are the Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger. The tiger is thought to have originated in northern Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch.
Even though, discriminatory behaviors are done in many forms, they all involve in some form of exclusion or rejection. Over the years there have been several incident regarding discriminating against me and love ones. This behavior allows the individual to feel self-wanted or completely bring their self-esteem down. Discriminating denigrates the individual’s ability. It may question their being as a person. Who is anyone to determine ones being? We live a world that we use the term “All men are created equal.” Yet, we refuse to follow our saying. Most Americans are hypocrites. They pretend to have virtues, morals religious beliefs, and principals yet we are full of hat...
Black cats have historically represented witchcraft, bad luck, and death in many parts of the world. In “The Black Cat”, Pluto held the place of one of the narrator’s most beloved pets until the animal grows frightened. The narrator ends up cutting Pluto’s eye out causing him to become half blind, and eventually kills Pluto. Shortly after this, the narrator becomes haunted by a feline that looks similar to Pluto. The only difference between Pluto and the second cat is the second feline has a white mark on his neck. In “The Black Cat”, the feline Pluto represents the underworld, narcissism, and mental instability.

The Bengal tiger is a carnivorous, mammal primarily from India. It lives in habitats such as the coniferous Himalayan Forest, the mangroves of the Sunderbans, the hills of the Indian Peninsula, or the forests of Rajasthan and Northern India. At one time Bengal tigers were scattered throughout Asia. Now they are generally found in India and some regions of Bangledesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Myanmar. There is approximately 4,000 alive in the wild now, and about 300 are in captivity in zoos around the world.
