Burnings of Protestants and the Failure of Mary's Religious Policy After Mary had taken the throne from Lady Jane Grey in 1553, she had, in her view, the task of returning the church to the state it had been in at the start of 1534. By the end of the year of her accession, Mary had re-implemented the heresy laws and by her death in November 1558, a minimum of 287 Protestants had died in the flames at Smithfield and elsewhere across the country.

is the world’s smallest fox. These kinds of foxes are most well known for their large ears that are very useful in everyday life. Fennec foxes have many interesting characteristics that make them very unique in the environment in which they live. These little animals are the smallest of all canines, which is Latin for dog. The Fennec, or desert fox, is a fitting name for this tiny fox. Vulpes is the Latin name for fox and is the genus name for true foxes. Some believe Fennecs are related to the Chihuahua
Invasive species as a whole have become a nuisance to many habitats and ecosystems around the world. What defines an invasive species is the following. It must be a species that is foreign to the habitat it resides in, have no natural predators which allow it to reproduce in such a rapid manner, and out compete native animals of food and shelter (Rosenthal 2011). These characteristics are what create such high populations of these invasive species in various habitats around the globe. A species

After the split from Canids the foxes split into six different genera; they are the Grey Fox (Urocyon), the Bat-Eared Fox (Otocyon), the Pampas and Sechura Fox (Pseudalopex), the Hoary Fox (Lycalopex), the Crab-Eating Fox (Cerdocyon), and the True Fox (Vulpes). In all there are twenty-three species, twelve of those being Vulpes species (Baldwin 1). Red foxes are the most widespread of all wild Canids covering seventy million square kilometers
to adapt to the changes in their habitat due to humanity. After 46 years a healthy San Joaquin kit fox population is yet to be achieved. The San Joaquin Kit fox is a subspecies of the kit fox, the smallest Canidae species—includes dogs, wolves, and foxes— in North America. The kit fox is the size of a house cat, however is the largest in the subspecies. On average, the male measures about 32 inches in length and weighs about 5 pound, females are only slightly smaller than males. There idiosyncratic
and increased competition with red foxes. Out of the three, habitat loss is considered to be the largest threat to the Arctic Fox population. Due to rising temperatures, sea ice is not as abundant and new plant species are beginning to emerge. Sea ice is important to the Arctic Fox population because they rely on the extra space to find food and there are fewer predators (2). Because the sea ice habitat provides important winter food resources for the Arctic foxes, especially in low lemming population
Foxes are small, carnivorous, solitary hunter/scavengers. They are somewhat common, living densely in N. America, Europe, and Asia, and less commonly, in S.America, Africa, and Canada. Foxes average at 3-ft. tall and 5-ft. long.(the tail is 2-3 ft. of the body’s length.) There are literally hundreds of species and strains of fox breeds, yet they are all of the Dog family in the animal kingdom.

tail. Sometimes male Arctic foxes are longer and heavier than female Arctic foxes, but not always. Arctic foxes have unique fur. It is the warmest fur of any mammal and it changes with the seasons. In the winter, it is thicker and white. In the spring and summer it is thinner and darker. Sometimes in habitats where the snow is not purely white, the Arctic fox’s fur will still try to match its surroundings and will turn a grayish color .
The Fennec Fox, also known as the Dessert Fox, is the smallest species of fox in the world. Linnaeus, who is known as the father of Taxonomy, classified all foxes under the Genus Vulpes- Fennec Foxes are more specifically classified within the species as Vulpes zerda. As previously stated Fennec Foxes are the smallest known species of foxes- to give one a mental image, they are smaller than the typical house cat. Vulpes zerda’s head and body are roughly eleven inches long, with a tail around seventeen

Many people can feel connected to the earth and their surroundings by observing and learning the way of the animals, including the whales. The Bowhead whale has been an important part in the Inuit-Inupiaq people of northern Alaska’s way of living.

acceptable behavior; a threatening fore; something of unnatural deformity, malevolence, and cruelty. A hero, on the other hand, is one idealized for courage, bravery, and strength. While fusing the evermore different qualities of both would seem impossible, John Gardner’s Grendel does just that. Gardner creates an ambiguous character that possess aspects of both a monster and a hero – it is a force of evil, yet admired; it causes pain yet urges sympathy; and it is of irregular ugliness yet beloved.

His name was Black Elk, and nobody would have known about him unless John Neihardt had not published Black Elk Speaks which tells about his life as a medicine man. Therefore, Black Elk is famous as the typical Indian who grew up in the traditional Plains life, had trouble with the Whites, and ended up in the reservation
