see before you die , Kangaroo Island is a premier tourist destination located off the coast of South Australia. It attracts mostly tourists from South Australia as it is an easily accessible destination to get to. A short ferry trip across Backstairs Passage on the Sea Link ferry will bring you to the town of Penneshaw. The island “…has become a sought-after tourism destination due to its national parks and the wildlife that exists within them.” The main industry on the island is agriculture but

The Tree-Kangaroo The endangered animal I chose was the tree kangaroo. It has similarities and differences to other kangaroos. The reproduction and pregnancy are about the same like the Joey and pouch. What is very different is the appearance of them and what they do. They also live in very different habitats than an average kangaroo. Another thing that is the same is what they eat. Being in different habitats they still eat about the same thing. Tree kangaroos live in mountainous cloud forests
Australia is a large island continent that holds some of the most diverse range of biogeography regions. It is the home to the endemic order of Marsupialia. These mammals are unique to the rest of the Mammalia class due to the fact that the female possesses a skin pouch. Some of the more well-known marsupials that exist today are the kangaroo, the wombat, and the koala (Thylacoleo Carnifex 2011). However, most individuals today are unaware of a species of carnivorous marsupials that once roamed Australia
Najma Kassim CWV 101 April 4th, 2014 Joe Stanley Horton Hears a Who For this assignment I chose “Horton Hears a Who” which was based on one Dr. Seuss’s literary works. The movie is an animated movie for children, but contains elements of Christian Worldviews, which are evident as the main characters develop through out the movie. The two main Characters that stay true to their Christian Worldview are Horton the lovable elephant and the Mayor of Who-Ville. Both Horton and the Mayor of Who-Ville
Though the two marsupials are very similar, their size generally tells them apart. Wallaby’s are much smaller than kangaroos. Average male wallaby’s weigh about 20 kilograms whereas an average male kangaroo weight about 90 kilograms (3). Because kangaroos are much larger, their legs are much stronger and therefore built for speed in open terrain whereas a wallaby’s legs are built for quickness in forested areas. This may have resulted
in Australia in 1992 and has been broadcast around the world on the discovery channel and conclusively Steve Irwin devoted his life through wildlife with the Quote “I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it. This quote made the audience feel that how Steve physically involved with reptiles and this shows his passionate and love for
Sean D. Gow 5-22-2014 5th The Loss of the Tree Kangaroo Have you ever heard of a tree kangaroo? If you haven’t, tree kangaroos are gentle, nocturnal mammals that share many characteristics with their ground dwelling ancestors. Tree kangaroos, however, are facing death at an alarming rate. Tree kangaroos face overhunting and their habitats being destroyed. You can make a difference, however. Sign petitions against deforestation, donate to trustworthy charities, and buy certified wood and wood products
A kangaroo rat is a cute little mammal from the, Heteromyidae family, who lives in the western hemisphere of the USA. The native kangaroo rat wasn’t endangered until the 1950’s. They mainly live in California. The Kangaroo Rat is a nocturnal mammal who hide in their borrows during the heat of the day and plugs up their borrows with loose soil as they get ready for the night, where they thrive (3). They have a diet that feeds off of seeds and grains with an average lifespan of 9.8 years. They
The Island of Jamaica The island of Jamaica is the third largest Caribbean island. It is in a group of islands called the greater antilles. It has an area of 10 991 km squared or 4 244 sq. miles. Jamaica spans 230 km east to west and from 80-36 from north to south. It is third only to Cuba, which is the largest, and Hispaniola which is the second largest island. Jamaica lies in the Caribbean sea which is a part of the much larger Atlantic ocean. The island is 960 km south of Florida
Indonesia From "Sabang ‘till Merauke" is the name of a song dedicated to Indonesia’s many islands and it’s diversity. It’s numerous chain of islands contained in the thirty-two thousand miles dividing two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Sabang is a small island just off the coast of Sumatra; Merauke is a small village near the border of Papua New Guinea. Indonesia’s 13,677 islands inhabited by 350 different ethnic groups, and more than 200 different languages. Consequently
Cleito. He built an island, Atlantis, and he constructed a elaborate house in the center of the island. Poseidon built rings of land and water surrounding his house with walls on either side of them. Poseidon and Cleito had five sets of twin boys who would become the rulers of the island. Once the boys were old enough to rule each was given a section of the island to rule. Atlantis had a huge plain and very high mountains. Many exotic animals and plants inhabited the island. As the story goes
Lord of the Flies - Who I think would make the best leader on the island: Ralph, Piggy or Jack? The Novel that this piece of writing is based upon is named "Lord of the Flies". The author of the book is William Golding who wrote many other books including Close quarters and Fire down below. This essay is on my opinion of who would be the best leader on the island out of Ralph, Piggy and Jack. I will base my opinions on my assumption of what makes a good leader and my general feelings of
Bernard Marx is an intriguing character in the book Brave New World. At the beginning of the book, he is a very main character, but as the book goes on he is put more and more into the background of the story. The reason for this can be explained by the way his character changes as the book progresses. Aldous Huxley makes an interesting point by showing how a person can be changed by obtaining something he desires. It makes the readers wonder whether success would change them in the same way or if
Happiness is a trait that has definitely lost its true meaning due to superficial, materialistic extravagances. Society today has created an image of what happiness entails, and now there are many different ways to try to achieve that image. However, the question then becomes: is happiness, as a result of things like sex, drugs, consumption, real happiness? Is it better to feel fake happiness than to experience the drudgeries that come with living a sober life? In the novel, Brave New World, by Aldous
It seems the goal of most individuals in life is to find purpose, overcome obstacles, and be as happy as possible each and every day. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley introduces a new theory on happiness: that happiness cannot exist while human minds are subjected to the truth. Similar to the phrase ignorance is bliss, the main theme throughout the novel is that happiness and truth cannot coexist properly in a society. While happiness is the ultimate goal of the utopian society depicted in Brave
Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World portrays a utopian society that has no flaw. Although many new precedents are portrayed, when studied in depth, many similarities between this perfect world and our modern society outweigh the few differences. This utopia of a society is paralleled with our society that is nowhere near perfection. Drug usage, individualism, and relationships will be the basis of comparison in this analysis, and we will see if the society presented in Brave New World will one day
In this comparison I will be comparing Russell Drysdale’s Maria (1950) a Sydney oil on canvas, 99x76.2 cm (NGA) to Guan Wei’s Dow: Island (2002) a synthetic polymer painting, 320x921 across 48 panels (NGA). The painting Maria shows a middle aged foreign looking woman, standing under a dark veranda, looking vaguely out into the distance. The title give us the understanding that her name is ‘Maria’. Her features and her surrounds are realistic. The landscape is dry outback. There is no other human
The book, Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, is a radical story that is interpreted as a potential caution to us, society, if we keep making poor life choices. In the novel, Huxley depicts a culture where people are programmed to live forever and forced to think that sex and drugs are. For them, the idea of having a family with a mother and a father is absolutely repulsive to think about. Even though some of Huxley’s thoughts are unrealistic, the meaning behind them can be seen today. Nowadays
Brave New World By Alduos Huxley Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a book full of meaning and purpose. Even though it was written in 1932 and wasn’t completely accepted at the time, today people accept it as a work of written genius. The book starts off as telling of mans destiny in the future. It is so far into the future that it isn’t even on the time scale of BC or AD, it is AF. There are no parents, no relatives, and no family history. Children are test tube babies in which they are grown
