The animal I chose is a Red fox. The scientific name is Vulpes vulpes. The Red fox is a Mamilia. Did you know that the red fox is actually cousins with the Arctic fox! There really is a lot to know about Red foxes. Structure and foundations are what help animals to survive in the wild. Structure and foundations are related because structures are a part of the animal to help them survive and the function is how the part of the animal helps. 3 important structures of my animal are sharp teeth, claws and big ears. The functions are that Red foxes can get their prey with a pounce, their claws help them to eat their prey, and their ears help them to hear their prey as it is getting close. Biotic is pretty much what your animal hunts and where they
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.
Dog has been “man’s best friend” for ages. Around Franklin County, almost everyone owns a dog. Since many owners are farmers, people in the Franklin County area need a dog who will be loyal, can herd livestock if need be, and is obedient to its master. The best breed of dog that fits this description is the Blue Heeler, also known as the Australian Cattle Dog. Though these dogs are better suited for the rural areas, many people in the city own them as well. Sprightly yet independent, the Australian Cattle Dogs are great companions for single people and families alike. Blue Heelers are the all-around best breed of dog in Franklin County.
The relationship of the three species and their ancestors can be summarized by looking at the fossils above. It is evident that all of these three species possess fangs and other types of sharp, prominent teeth. These analogous features indicate that there is some similarity in ancestry, since they all form part of the same family group, although they come from different genus. However, there is some difference in the shape of the head. The coyote possesses a straighter jaw and more angular head. The wolf, on the other side, has a wider denture similar to the fox. These three species also share Homologous structures, such as fangs, are present in these species. Another homologous structure is the legs and ribs, since they all have a similar
Structure pertains to a social institution that is relatively stable over time and meets the needs of society. School is a perfect example of structure. Almost every school consists of the same thing, which is desks and a board to demonstrate the lesson. All the desks are facing one way so that the children have a more likely chance to pay attention to the instructor and proper room arrangement provides predictability in students, which has a calming effect I presume. When students are better able to understand their environment and anticipate what is coming next, they tend to be less apprehensive.

One function is structuring and framing our bodies. Without our bones, we would be just a pile of organs. We need our bones so we can stand and take the shape of a human. Protection is another function of the skeletal system. Our skull protects our brain, our vertebrae protect our spinal cord, our sternum protects our heart and our ribs protect our lungs. Without the protection our bones provide, even the smallest poke or hit could result in a fatal accident. Also, our bones are attached to our muscles by tendons. When the muscles contract they move the bones which move our arms and our legs so we can walk or pick things up. Additionally, our blood is made in our bones through a process called hematopoiesis. This happens in the bone marrow which is located at the center of our
One of the most endangered animals of California is the tiny San Joaquin Kit Fox. The Kit fox is roughly about the size of a common housecat, with features ranging from big ears and a long bushy tail and toes that are very furry, that help keep the Kit Fox cool in the dry environment that they place themselves into. From a distance these Foxes are hard to spot due to their particular size ranging as high as twelve inches in height and reaching as far as twenty inches in length. The average weight of each of the individual Foxes varies for each Fox, but on average is roughly around five pounds. The Kit Fox’s scientific name is Vulpes macrotis mutica, but its common name is desert fox. According to Defenders.org the San Joaquin Kit Fox was originally
In North America we refer to this animal as the moose; however, through out continental Erurope, it has been known to them as the "elk". The scientific name for it is, Acles acles, also translates in to British English as "elk". For North Americans this has been a source of confusion, as the name "elk" is also given to another member of the deer family. But common names living things differ from region to region, from country to country.

It’s a cat, it’s a panda, its a raccoon., its the red panda! The red Panda is a cute furry animal with a feisty look in its eye. The Red Panda is related to the Giant Panda and looks and has similar characteristics to the street raccoon. The scientific name for the Red Panda in Ailurus fulgens. Red Pandas are endangered creatures with their habitats slowly disappearing. Red Pandas have similar characteristics to raccoons. Red Pandas don’t eat very much for their size.
