difference between their populations. The statistics tells there are around 10,000 white rhinoceroses, while there are only 7 black rhinoceroses in the world. Information on white rhinoceroses is more accessible because government is less interested in protecting them while it has a greater problem on how to preserve another, close to extinction species. Prior to research, I knew nothing specific about white rhinoceroses, however, I knew that rhinoceros is a quite big animal with a bad temper. White rhinoceros’
When the people in a small French town start to turn into rhinoceroses, something must be up. Well, this is exactly what happens in Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros. The Theatre of the Absurd, as the title suggests, has some absurd topics. Rhinoceros is no exception. Absurdist plays were very popular in the years following World War II and many playwrights were influenced by the changing times, as seen in Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros. As I mentioned before, this play was written shortly after World War
Rhinoceros The title Rhinoceros is formed from the ancient Greek Rhino meaning nose and Keros meaning horn. However, in this play I take rhinoceros to mean an animal that is thick-skinned and ugly. The people who become rhinoceroses become as thick skinned as the rhinoceroses they turn into. On first viewing of Rhinoceros one journeys with the characters on what appears to be something of a mystery tour. One cannot be sure if a rhinoceros really exists. It is this sense of unknowing that makes
of mighty beasts or simply in awe of them, it astonishes many people when they realize how few of them are still alive. Rhinoceroses, elephants, leopards, tigers, African lions, and many more creatures are all considered an endangered species, and we are the reason they are deemed that way. The one element all of those animals have in common is that they are valuable. Rhinoceroses are treasured for their horns; Elephants for their tusks. Lions, tigers, and leopards are all wanted for their skins. These
These topics help share the play’s content of criticizing the actions of the Nazis and understanding the mindset of people who conceded to fascism and Nazism. Ionesco used the rhinoceroses as a symbol, which is a recognizable figure that stands for something abstract, to show societies ability to turn hostile and violent (Martin, 194). At the beginning of the play, the townspeople were startled when they saw the first rhinoceros
In day-to-day life, people commit all kinds of sins that may not seem that heinous to others. Jaywalkers, for example, are not as brutal and unrelenting in the public’s eye as a vicious serial killer who carries around a chainsaw. However, some meager sins are extremely annoying to certain individuals, leaving them with the notion that the sinners must be punished in the depths of hell. “Sins” like chewing with one’s mouth wide open, being too confident in one’s own abilities, killing animals without
An example is paying for park rangers that can keep animals healthy and protected. A study done on 2005 by a man named Nigel Leader-Williams found that it was beneficial to white rhinoceroses in South Africa. Because they legalized the of hunting rhinoceroses they found that their numbers increased from under one-hundred to an astonishing number of over 11,000. The same goes with the elephants in Zambia. They found “a sustained population increase in Zambia’s already
human life and becoming a rhinoceros. In all aspects of themselves, they did become rhinoceroses. In mind, emotion, physicality, demeanor, and communication, the characters of the play became a rhinoceros. They actually left their human body and were going to turn into a rhinoceros . Sounds absurd, and that is basically the whole point. The play was interpreted as a reaction to the fascism post - World War II. Rhinoceroses arrive in France, and of course the people of the French town want nothing to do
Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros": True Means Resides in Action not Words I awoke sweating. Breathing heavily, I glanced over at my clock and read the time. 4:00 AM. I wasn't sure if this was reality or not so I ran my palm over my scalp. No bump. A sigh of relief came over me. "Phew," I said, "it was only a dream." This is a dream I have had often throughout the past couple of years. Each time, the bump in my dream gets bigger and bigger and each time I wake up I'm more and more frightened that the
that have an odd number of toes on the rear feet are known as odd-toed ungulates. The middle toe on each rear hoof is usually larger than the ones next to them. Horses are members of the odd-toed ungulates which includes the horses, tapirs, and rhinoceroses. They are relatively large grazing animals with only one stomach. They digest plant materials in their intestines rather than in their stomachs as the even-toed ungulates do. (Wikipedia, 1) By the beginning of the Eocene period some fifty-five
The problem I have chosen is the problem of endangered species. An endangered species is a group of organisms that have a risk of becoming extinct. More than 90% of all species that have ever lived on earth has become extinct. Many reasons for this are habitat loss, predators, too few organisms for sustainable reproduction. Habitat loss is the most widespread cause of species endangerment and extinction. Usually, this is happening because of human activity including deforestation and pollution
Early horses evolved from tiny, four-toed, forest dwellers that were possibly no more than a foot tall roaming through the forests of North America. For more than half of their history horses remained as small forest browsers. Changes in climate conditions permitted grasslands to grow and from these changes many new species of horses evolved as well as the human animal relationship. All mammals including horses at one point in time shared a common feature and that was five toes. “Over millions of
African Wildlife Safaris - Experiencing Nature getting it done African natural life safaris make for the experience of a lifetime. Nothing could be more energizing than seeing wild and intriguing creatures, for example, lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, bison and panthers in their common natural surroundings, going about their days the way individuals just see on documentaries. Take that, combined with the marvelous landscape in savannahs, deltas and woodlands that stay untainted by human exercises
Herzog's documentary, contains some of the oldest known cave paintings, dating back over 30,000 years. The cave is located in France and is called the Chauvet Cave. The drawings in this cave depict a variety of animals, including horses, mammoths, and rhinoceroses, as well as human handprints. The artists utilized the natural contours of the cave walls to give a sense of depth and movement to the animals, creating stunning and evocative imagery. The significance of these drawings lies in their age and the

Life in Kenya 1. Introduction In the past when I would think of Kenya I would think of wild animals, African tribes, and AIDS. When I met Wanjiku an international student from Kenya she told me many things about the culture of her country. I know from talking and working with her that they value friendship and believe in hard work. The people of Kenya have gone though many changes since gaining their independence in 1963. They now have the freedom of speech and religion. Kenya has
