The Canadian wilderness is filled with many beautiful and magnificent creatures; however, the Arctic fox stands out to be one of the most amazing. This gorgeous Canidae is native to the arctic extremes of the northern hemisphere, and can withstand temperatures as low as -58 degrees Fahrenheit before their metabolism kick in. This is all thanks to their thick, white, beautiful coat of fur, that is indeed one of the greatest in the animal world. It doesn’t always remain snow white however; for its coats ability to camouflage changes from season to season, growing brownish-black in the summer, and again, stark white in the winter. Their diet consists of really any small animal they can find; ranging from lemmings, to birds, to carrion. In the
The questions i'm trying to answer is how does ancient culture continues to shape the modern world. My claim i'm trying to state is being GREEDY is bad because it causes very bad consequences.GREED causes bad consequences by you taking something that isn't your's like the fox in "The Fox Swollen Fox", the fox ate a sandwich and didn't ask before taking the sandwich and eating it. The consequences that the fox had was he got stuck in the tree that the sandwich was in.
I am going to give you information on the animals that were once native to Iowa. The Alces Moose was native to Iowa back in the 1970’s is they were knew of returning. There was only about 15 Alces Moose that came back down into Iowa in a time-span of 30 years. They came down from Minnesota We are the reason they are not here
The endangered black-footed ferret is a member of the weasel family. It is the only ferret native to North America—the domestic ferret is a different species of European origin. Black-footed ferrets once numbered in the tens of thousands, but were brought to the brink of extinction by the 1960s. Although still endangered, they are starting to make a comeback, and Defenders of Wildlife is pleased to be helping achieve this remarkable wildlife success story.
a. Fossil evidence from a squirrel was determined to be 36 millions years old found in North America (Basgall).
Not many people know about the arctic wolf, it is the snowy white version of a wolf. They have a really big appite when it comes to eating. They most only eat one meal a day and eat up to 20 pounds in that one meal. They are mostly carnivores; they mainly eat big animals like the caribou and the musk ox so they can feed themselves and the whole pack (Arctic/Antarctic: The Arctic Wolf). People eat up to three meals a day, but wolves can go up to days with out eating a single thing (Arctic/Antarctic: The Arctic Wolf). When wolves are hunting they have to be able to have a plan to catch their food. Wolves would get all the pack members that are hunting to surround the animal, and pounces on them. One bit to the neck and the animal would be dead. When they are eating they will eat everything, like the meat, shin, fur and bone (Arctic/Antarctic: The Arctic Wolf). Also Arctic wolves can live up to 20 years in captivity, while they can only live 7- 15 years in the wild (Arctic/Antarctic: The Arctic Wolf). Arctic wolves are one of the most prettiest and unique types of wolf. When Arctic wolves are pups t...
The Great Pyrenees originated in France and was bred to guard flocks of sheep in the mountains. Because they were bred to be without a master for months on end they made their own decisions to protect the flocks, which can make them somewhat difficult to train. The Great Pyrenees was cherished by the French people and was appointed as the French court dog in the 17th century. It was then recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1933. The Great Pyrenees also carried equipment on his back in World War I, and was used to take illegal goods between France and Spain. When guarding the sheep the Great Pyrenees often had to attack wolves and bears to keep the flock safe. The AKC says "He was protected by his thick coat and usually wore a collar with
In the stories “Old Ben” and “Fox Hunt” they use flashback and foreshadowing. “Old Ben” is by Jesse Stuart and the story is about how you can make friends in an unlikely situation. “Fox Hunt” is by Lensey Namioka and this story is more about Andy’s ancestors, exams, and when Lee appears out of nowhere and Lee is shy. The authors use foreshadowing and flashback alike and different in these stories.
During the Summertime it is extremely hot and there were a lot of birds flying around. As the season of Autumn begins, the leaves change colors and began to drop to the ground. When the leaves begin to whither away the bird population soon become depleted. As the chill of Autumn starts to take its toll the bird population becomes fewer and fewer. That was the past. In the present time as the weather begins to turn cold, the birds that would usually migrate are still there. This is a new occurrence that is happening across the country. The global temperature has risen, which make the birds able to withstand what used to be a brutal winter, now is mild manner.
Endangered animals will never be seen again if citizens don't act now. Specifically the Woodland Caribou of The Great White North. The Woodland Caribou is the most endangered mammal in North America and is becoming more and more every year. Without the help of citizens and organizations from around the continent, this species will be gone forever. The absence of the Woodland Caribou in the Canadian and American ecosystems will cause tremendous effects that won't be good for any ecosystem in North America. In order to save this vital species, habitats need to be protected, illegal hunting of the Woodland Caribou needs to be enforced, and compromises need to be made to make a foundation for the Woodland Caribou.
Red foxes as babies, how they change into an adult, and what their family is like. In the book ‘‘Red Fox ’’ it states that “when red foxes are babies they have brownish grayish fur.’’ The book also says that “they can't see, hear, or eat a huge meals.’’ Red foxes can’t walk as babies. Red foxes noses grow as they grow but eventually they stop when they are adults eventually means at some point. There legs get so strong they can run as cubs. There eyes are open for the first time in there life
Hey, I didn’t see you there, how are you?I'm just wondering whether or not a big ol' grizzly bear is going to come charging at me at any point in my life, but seeing as grizzly bears are endangered that probably won't happen. In the past, there were thought to be around 50,000 grizzly bears in North America, nowadays they are growing sparse there are estimated to be only around 1800, now not even a 20th of the population in the past. Most of these grizzlies are located in Yellowstone National Park and Alaska, but they can also be found in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Some are thought to be in Washington.
sea otters are from the kingdom animalia. Sea otters are stouter and have large rib cages, smaller tails and muzzle than other species of otters. Yet sea otters posses the fine, dense fur coats characteristic of the Mustelidae. Their forefeet are small and dexterous with retractile claws and the flipper like hind feet are broad and webbed. Sea otters once was abundant along most coastal North pacific ocean. That was before fur traders hunted them for their thick ice, luxurious pelts. By the year 1900, sea otters were nearly extinct . Protected since 1911, alaska sea otters have made a comeback. There lifespan is 10-15 years. Great white sharks are the primary predator of sea otters and occasionally eaten by coyote so the predators that the
The arctic fox or the Vulpes Lagopus is a very beautiful and majestic animal with many interesting features. This animal can survive extremely frigid arctic temperatures that can drop as low as -50°F. The arctic fox is a very resilient animal. It has furry soles, short ears, and a short muzzle, which are the essentials of what is needed for the animals to adapt to the chilly climate. These foxes usually live in burrows and in emergencies like snowstorms, strong winds or animal conflict, they may tunnel into the snow and create a shelter for them. They have a beautiful white coat that protects them from the hardy weather. Amusingly, when the season changes, the fox changes its coat color making it a unique animal. In winter, their coat is white where as in summer its turns into an orange-red color. This is mostly because it helps them camouflage in the surrounding. These colorings help foxes to effectively hunt rodents, birds, fish and even baby polar bear cubs. But in winter prey can be scarce on the ground. At such times, these animals eat the left over kill of the polar bear. These foxes will also eat berries when they are available. Its coat has been known for its strange adapting qualities, it is a rarity in science today and therefore is highly researched. Not only does it have a thick coat that helps them camouflage and protects them from the cold, but also has the ability to run extremely fast. It is known to be one of the fastest animals in the arctic region.
1) “Taming the fox” metaphor is useful to set a goal almost for the little prince. For one taming the fox will have a significant goal for both the little prince and the fox. They both will need to know that they can trust and believe in each other. Which is essentially for a student – teacher relationship. Towards differentiation the little prince and the fox will have different ways is showing their trust and belief in each other.
