Kinkajou You are taking an evening walk through a forest in southern Mexico and you spot something in the trees. Is it a bird? Is it a lemur? No, it’s a kinkajou! You see it leaping thorough the branches of the canopy above you. The kinkajous body is less than 24 inches long, while their tail adds another 16-22 inches. Their fur is thick and it comes in two colors which are either reddish brown or yellowish brown. The kinkajou’s tail has a black tip at the end of it. Their tails play an important part in their lifestyle because it helps them hang upside down and get a good grasp on things. The kinkajou can climb up their own tail like a rope. Their 2 big eyes help them see throughout the night because they are nocturnal animals. Kinkajous have sharp claws on their hands and feet. Their feet are very flexible when they have to jump or quickly run away from their predators. Kinkajous live in forest areas in southern Mexico, Central America, and South America. Forests are a good environment for the kinkajous because they rarely leave the trees. Another reason that forests are a good environment for them is because kinkajous can find their food and needs easily. The kinkajou’s diet consists mainly of fruits. Their main fruit that they eat are figs, but they do eat other foods such as flowers, leaves, and some herbs depending on the season. Kinkajous …show more content…
rarely eat things such as bird eggs, tiny birds, or ants. Kinkajous are nocturnal animals, which means they sleep during the day and have fun at night.
During the night, when they are awake, their daily lifestyle includes search for food and protecting their home. One interesting fact about the kinkajous is that their scientific name is Potus Flavus which means “golden drinker” because they drink nectar. Kinkajou’s eat flowers, but stick their tongue in the flowers to get all the nectar. Another interesting fact about kinkajous are that they can turn their feet backwards to walk up a tree or run away from a predator. They can run backwards just by turning their feet
backwards. People that live where kinkajous can be found are familiar with kinkajous, but they are not well-known animals to other people in the world. There are a lot of interesting facts about the kinkajous and their lifestyle. If you would want to look for a kinkajou during the day, you would find them sleeping in the holes of trees. At night, you would find them up and doing their daily activities.

They have small heads and body’s with a long lumbar region and narrow chest. Saki’s are arboreal quadrupeds with their arms and legs equal in length. They have a long olecranon process to be able to lock their joints so that their limbs can hold equal weight. White-Faced Sakis have long prehensile tails and long phalanges on their hands and feet for better travel and balance in the trees. A Saki’s dental formula is 2.1.3.3 with triangular molars meaning they are insectivores. They are also known as "flying monkeys" because they are able to leap 30 feet between tree branches. I already knew they could leap so I was hoping to see that when I observed it, but it was resting when I was there. They are sexually dimorphic due to color. White-Faced Sakis are vulnerable to being

things up; reaching greater mass. Thus, if anything spreads in social media, it’s a big news. It’s a medium where everyone is a content creator, a publisher. Social media comes first to rescue, in certain cases, before the law can do anything - or when the law has failed to anything. As much as this is true for present issues and incidents, the social media is also revealing the information about Komagata Maru journey, a historic racism incident. Some sources are showing reality of racism against the Indians in which some are writing and making their own views, some sources shows opposition and some shows favour.
At the beginning of this semester we focused on hermeneutics and the reader’s personal interpretations and biases when reading a text. The Protestant bias is one bias that anyone who grows up in a western culture is likely to have. A protestant bias is a bias one can have regardless if they are actually a protestant. A protestant bias is a bias comes from the fact that the majority of westerners are most familiar with and base their assumptions about scripture on one particular scripture -- the Christian Bible.
Klebsiella pneumonia is a gram-negative, encapsulated, lactose-fermenting, non-motile, facultative anaerobic, urease positive, indole-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is in the Enterobacteriaceae family (Tufts University, n.d.). Klebsiella is typically found in the nose or mouth, gastrointestinal tract (CDC, 2012). Klebsiella pneumonia was first discovered in 1882 as a pathogen that caused pneumonia (). Klebsiella can cause various types of health-related infections in the bloodstream, wound, and also surgical site infections (CDC, 2012). A common place to become infected with Klebsiella is the hospital settings, while being treated for other illnesses. Patients who get infected this way typically are on a ventilator or intravenous catheters (CDC, 2012). Klebsiella was named after Edwin Klebs, who was a German microbiologist (Obiamiwe, 2013).

What is Kwanzaa? Kwanzaa is a nonreligious cultural holiday that celebrates African American Heritage. It is observed from December 26th through January 1st (Pogue, 2017). It was created by Maulana Karenga in the late 1960’s. Karenga is a black activist leader and professor. He has been making strides to better the black community and bridge the gap. He created Kwanzaa during the civil rights movement right after the Watts Riots in Los Angeles. He got tired of seeing all the horrible things happen to black people during this time, so he created Kwanzaa to shed a positive light on the black community. The goal of this holiday was to bring the African American community together. He wanted the African and African American community to have something
Many people die a year from infection. Infection is one of the leading causes of death. There are many different precautions to prevent infection that are well known. However, anyone is susceptible to infection, healthy or not. I am healthy person physically and mentally. However, a healthy person can still be susceptible to infection. I was infected by the bacteria Escherichia coli, more commonly known as E. coli. While infected by a pathogen my body went through all of the periods of illness because the bacteria had made it through four out of five components that made it lethal. It led to a major kidney infection.
Several kinds of baboons live in Africa and southwestern Arabia. These include the hamadryas baboon, which lives on plains and rocky hills of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and eastern Africa near the Red Sea, and the chacma baboon, which inhabits rocky regions and open woodlands in southern Africa. Olive baboons inhabit the Kekopey cattle ranch located near the town of Gilgil, Kenya. “The central part of the ranch consists of open grassland studded with occasional patches of bushy shrub, scattered thornbush, and small groves of giant fever trees” (Smuts 17). They eat a wide variety of foods including insects, flowers, leaves, fruits of bushes and herbs, and most significant of all, the grass itself. “Baboons eat the green blades of grass during the rainy seasons and dig for corms-the underground storage organ of sedge grasses-when the ranch is dry” (Smuts 17-18). They can carry food in pouches inside their cheeks.
The Komodo Dragon is a large species of lizard that is only found on a handful of islands in the Indonesian archipelago. Not known to the world until the First World War, the Komodo Dragon is actually a species of Monitor Lizard that has been evolving in island isolation for millions years, which has led to it becoming very large indeed. The Komodo Dragon is not only the largest lizard in the world, but it also one of the most aggressive and is so powerful that it is able to take prey many times it's own size. However, Komodo Dragons are also in severe danger in their natural environments as hunting and habitat loss, along with a shortage of prey, has led to population declines on the few islands where
The world we live in today is full of an exceptional variety of animals. The time it took to conclude to the various sorts of species seen today has been throughout a period of millions of years. The vast majority of these animals are accredited to evolutionary advancements. When the environment changes, organisms have become accustomed to changing to fit their environment, to ensure their species does not die off. These physical changes have resulted in different phyla, ranging from basic structures, like sponges to advance systems, like that of an octopus.
