One of the utmost frightening events that has ever happened to me was a little run in with a massive possum. I’d never encountered a possum in real life and I didn’t want to. I’m used to discovering peculiar creatures or objects, the perks of living on a farm, but I’ve never faced anything so ugly that it scared me. Let’s just say I have definitely found a new fear! It was approximately 9:00 p.m. on a weekday when the event occurred. Earlier that week, I noticed that one of the kittens, Louis,
issue is the possums are killing our environment by scratching bark of trees and killing endangered animals that are native to new zealand, such as our kiwi, and a lot of trees have been getting wrecked such as our totara,rimu, and the kowhai tree and plenty more habitats of native birds such as Kea , tui, kaka.

of his father, a man. In an effort to please his father David took it upon himself to kill a possum that had become a menace to his father, this would make him a man, this would grant him his “rite of passage”. The possum eventually appeared and was described as David would describe his much-loved lilies, “soft, beautiful, white in the moonlight”. The symbolism of using the same words to describe the possum like the much loved lilies shows the reader that it is against David’s morals to kill the animal
there was "Perv", whose real name I haven't a clue. At one social gathering, Daniele and I were having a conversation with a couple of guys, one who was Aaron Houston and the other was Stuart Klassen, who will always be known to Daniele and I as "Possum". Then along came the 4th of July weekend that will haunt me forever. My uncle took their family camper out to the lakes and Daniele and I took turns with her brother, Casey, staying out there.

Mr speaker, I now move the bill be read a second time. The bill that is being proposed is about the industry of Greyhound Racing. The main aspects of this bill are to bring justice to those who use live baiting, address the welfare issues surrounding this industry and to ban greyhound racing in all states of Australia. Greyhound racing is a cruel and degrading industry and putting a permanent ban on such a thing will benefit the society of Australia greatly. Every year, around 20,000 greyhounds
William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and in Virginia Woolf’s A Mark on the Wall - Subjective Narratives in Modernist Texts Like many other modernist texts, William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying employs many unreliable narrators to reveal the progression of the novel. One of the most interesting of these narrators is the youngest Bundren child, Vardaman. Like the rest of his family, Vardaman is mentally unstable, but his condition is magnified due to this lack of understanding of life and death. Because
temperature and rainfall patterns changing, many species are having a hard time adapting, such as the green ringtail possum. This type of possum lives in the rainforests of Queensland and is having a hard time with the rising temperatures because when the temperature rises above 86* Fahrenheit, it cannot control its body temperature (“Climate”). Another struggling species is the mountain pygmy possum; it
Order Monotremata: The defenition of a monotreme is an unusual mammal that lays eggs instead of giving birth to live babies. A few examples are the echidna and the platypus. Their skulls have certain features that resemble reptiles. They have three bodily systems, they have the digestive system, urinary system, and reproductive system. These systems all end up in the same chamber for monotremes called the cloaca. Cloaca means “one hole’’ so it fits perfectly with the monotremes situation. After
As I gazed across the book isles and leaned over carefully to pick one up out of the old dusty vaults of the library, a familiar object caught my eye in the poetry section. A picture in time stood still on this book, of two African American men both holding guitars. I immediately was attracted to this book of poems. For the Confederate Dead, by Kevin Young, is what it read on the front in cursive lettering. I turned to the back of the book and “Jazz“, and “blues” popped out of the paper back book
during winter. As snow falls and covers the vegetation a space exists between the ground in which small mammals can move and search for food. Temperatures remain constant under the snow even though they vary greatly in the open air. The Mountain Pygmy Possum, the native Bush Rat, and Swainson’s Antechinus all survive in this way. During the coldest part of the season some animals hibernate or go into torpor. In both cases the animal’s metabolism shuts down almost completely and only the essentials are
