The Story begins on a beach with three young children playing. Violet, 14, inventor; Klaus, 12, amateur researcher; and Sunny, baby, professional biter who has not totally developed speech. When they arrive to the beach it is a cloudy foggy overcast day. Violet is spending her time here skipping rocks, Klaus is studying tide pools and Sunny is just enjoying her time being at the beach with her older siblings. Even though it is not the greatest day in the world, the children are enjoying their time
Introduction In this research paper I will be discussing the Yellow-Bellied Three-Toed Skink and how instead of this reptile laying eggs like most reptiles would do, it is giving birth to live young instead. The Yellow-Bellied Three-Toed skink (Saiphos equalis) is a small reptile in size that closely resembles that of a snake, but with four legs. This specific species of skink can be found in New South Wales, Australia. It has been discovered that in the cold regions of New South Wales this organism
the glass. The small pets are what are commonly called rodents. Their enclosures are tiny cages with straw bedding, plastic igloo hideouts in various colors, running wheels, and tunnel tubes. The different enclosures have different items that these reptiles need. The bearded dragons have rocks and heat lamps that are directly attached to their enclosures for them only. There are also thermometers inside the enclosure so that temperature is monitored correctly. The anoles, lizards, chameleons, turtles

In this essay it will be about turtles. The turtle that is going to be discussed is the red-Cooter turtles. When we went to Venetians Garden I wanted to do turtles and kept looking for them. Overall I was worried what I was going to do but decided on turtles. Where we went there was some trash in the water depending whether it was under the bridge or the pond. It will have the results, methods, introduction about the project that I doing. On the planet, there are hundreds of thousands of different
what keeps the average human up at night and 23.6% were afraid of snakes, which happened to be in between devastating tornado and devastating earthquake. Snakes, apparently, are as threatening as a natural disaster; when in fact they are adorable reptiles that are rarely harmful. There is plenty of research that proves them to actually be great pets. They are not expensive, not hard to maintain, or time consuming animals, so what are people so afraid of? Because snakes are not typical house pets
the ostrich. Ostriches can stand almost eight feet high and can weigh near 350 pounds. Other extinct birds have been measured to stand over ten feet high. The evolution of birds is still being argued. Most people believe that birds evolved from reptiles. Because of birds mainly delicate bones, few fossils have be...
Origin of Birds Since the advent of the theory of evolution the origin of birds has been a thriving topic in science. Many ideas and hypotheses have been presented, but only two stand today: that birds are descendents of ancient thecodont stem reptiles, and that birds are the direct descendents of a group of dinosaurs known as the coelurosaurs. Both hypotheses pose many interesting and insightful ideas based on information obtained from the fossil record. There is not enough evidence at this time
During 1325 a newly homeless Aztec tribe who were chased away by the angry ruler/father of a princess they sacrificed to the sun god, were traveling through swamps . they saw a small island with an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake. This was told to be a sign of where the tribe was to create their new home. This new city was named Tenochtitlan. Soon this will become the capital of the Aztec empire. Tenochtitlan started out with only a temple to worship the war god Huitzilopochtli, and huts
In 1852, a group of villagers charged with pitchforks to battle a ‘’sea serpent,’’ however when they got there it turned out to be a horse taking a bath ("Why the Loch Ness Monster Probably Doesn't Exist."). The Loch Ness monster is a mythical reptilian creature that is thought to live in the Loch Ness which is a lake in Scotland. People believe it is real because, there have been many odd things in the Loch such as loud splashing and animals disappearing and people claim to see a monster-like creature
the ship, the wood was masterfully carved, with the repeating pattern of scales and dragons. One of the ship’s crew notice me staring at the carvings. He said, “This is the captain's work. He spends all of his free time caving the hallways and the rooms.” seeing my inquisitive look he continued, “This ship when we got it wasn’t near as pretty as it is now. The head wasn’t even fully carved. The captain put his heart a soul into this ship and I hope nothing changes that.” With those words he continued
would have been sent to prison for quite a long time. Furthermore, Sherlock Holmes had to protect himself from the swamp adder’s numerous threats. Lastly, there was no possible way that Sherlock Holmes could have known where Dr. Roylott was in his room. By observing his surroundings, Sherlock Holmes was able to make a detailed conclusion about Dr. Roylott’s immoral plans. When distressed and weary Helen Stoner came to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson exclaiming her fright about her stepfather, Dr
Isla, a poem written by author Virgil Suarez, in 2000, refers to how a young immigrant boy feels, compared to Godzilla. Godzilla, is a series of movies about a “fictitious giant monster spawned from the waste of nuclear tests, and is discovered in the sea and rises to threaten Japan. The only hope of stopping Godzilla is the oxygen destroyer, a weapon as deadly and as morally troubling as the atomic bombs that created the monster”(Encyclopaedia Britannica,2017). Poet Virgil Suárez left Cuba with
Also they don’t just work with dogs and cats. They have dogs, cats, pocket pets, and also birds. Going to the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley was an awesome experience. First of all this place was huge. They have several different boarding rooms for all kinds of different animals. When I first got the AHS I started off at the surgery suit with Brianna and Whitney. They were super welcoming and very smiley. After they introduced themselves, they let me know what their plan was for the day
organism. If that were true, then as that organism evolved into other organisms, some parts would become unnecessary as the process went on. Some parts would be left over from the change. When a reptile changed into a bird for example, the fully evolved bird might have a few left over parts from the reptile that it doesn’t need. An organ dubbed vestigial by most are the third molars or as they are more commonly called, wisdom teeth. It would seem that their only purpose is to support dentists financially
homes that have to be built. Wetlands are being cut down to make room for houses. The rate of people living on the coast has doubled, eliminating wetlands at a rate of 1% per year. It is estimated that global sea-levels will rise by 20 centimeters by 2080. A 1-meter rise in sea level would destroy 46% of the remaining wetlands along the coast. Agriculture is also a major factor in wetland loss. Wetlands have been drained to make room for farmers to create fields to plant crops. It has been estimated
Babies and Pets- How can you make these two coexist? You don’t have to get rid of your loved pet once you find out about your pregnancy! You can make it work and live happily ever after with both of them under the same roof. Preparing your home for the baby’s arrival takes a lot of time and organization, especially since you have to get rid of so many daily habits that may potentially harm your newborn.

species and the most common is the Pogona Vitticeps. They also come in many colors with a base of varying tans, reds, and yellows. Special bearded dragons like the leatherbacks and hypos can have vibrant blues too. Bearded dragons can be pricey and reptile enthusiasts can spend up to $1000 on specific bearded dragons. According to TheBeardedDragon.org, “Australia made it illegal to export any wildlife in the 1960’s. It is believed that all the bearded dragons found outside of Australia were smuggled
Biology of Mangroves One of the most unique and least understood environments found in nature is that of the mangrove. This ecosystem is found at the junction between land and sea. Author, Loren Eiseley (1971) wrote vividly about his encounter with a mangrove forest in the book The Night Country: A world like that is not really natural. Parts of it are neither land nor sea and so everything is moving from one element to anotherÖNothing stays put where it began because everything is constantly
