As far as animals go amphibians have it pretty well in the popularity category. Kermit the Frog keeps smiles on the faces of people around the world, Godzilla strikes fear into the hearts of those who dare to watch his films, and Dig’Em the frog gives children all over the world Smacks cereal to get them ready for the day. However, there is one amphibian that does not get the fame it deserves. The axolotl is an amphibious salamander that deserves more recognition than it gets. The axolotl is incredibly rare in the wild, where it can be found only in the Lake Xochimilco located just south of Mexico City; while the axolotl is rare and endangered in the wild there are countless axolotls in the care of scientists and researchers. Axolotls come
The cartoon of the yellow sponge living in a pineapple under the sea was never meant to be a kid’s show. Au contraire, the show was meant to air on Adult Swim, a television network for viewers 16 years and older. The Sponge had a test run, but because of the low rating it was transferred to the kids’ networks. Of course, our dear children, innocent and ignorant of the hidden message inside the moving images, loved it. In this case “Bikini Bottom” is SpongeBob’s home town, an inappropriate name of a setting for a children’s cartoon. This shows that the transition of the show from Adult Swim to Nickelodeon had no change on SpongeBob Squarepants, whatsoever. Meaning, many other sections of the show are likely not meant for children’s eyes or ears. This show is degradation for young minds and their mental and physiological development and should not continue to be aired.
“There is one Acoma. It is a class by itself. The peer of it is not in the world…The longest visit never wears out its glamour: one feels as in a strange, sweet, unearthly dream, whose very rocks are genii, and whose people swart conjurors. It is the spendthrift of beauty”-Lummis, 1983 (James 18). Acoma was a beautiful, strong village, drawing many people to it, even though they were usually unwelcome. “From the very outset Acoma excited the curiosity and even the fear of pioneers because of the strangeness of its position and the reputation of its inhabitants for ferocity” (Sedgwick preface). Although Acoma had such a reputation, it did not stop Don Juan de Onate from taking over such a magnificent place. Once Onate gained control, the Acoma reputation vanished and all lives of the Acoma Indians changed politically, economically, and especially socially.
Seahorses are a prime example of species whose atypical biology and unusual global distribution leads to a series of evolutionary questions. Seahorses (genus Hippocampus) are a marine species that have extensively been studied because of their abnormal behaviors in the marine environment compared to other marine creatures. Many of the seahorse species have large ranges, both longitudinally (over a great horizontal distance across the ocean), and latitudinal (great vertical distance within the ocean), regardless of the fact that they are characterized as weak swimmers and lack any large structural fins for efficient swimming (Lourie et al., 1999a). Although they do have these large range environments, seahorses
Mark Twain’s “Celebrated Jumping Frog” he explores the theme deception, manipulation,and changing our appearance to make us look better by lying. He shows this by making deceiving people. The podcast also talks about how we change our appearance by lieing.Thats what I will talk about is how they relate in deceiving and lying and how they are different.
Red-eyed tree frogs are found in tropical lowlands of southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. The frogs live in the trees of the rainforest. The suction cups on their feet and their long tongues help them adapt to their habitat. Their green bodies help them blend in to their habitat and keep them safe from predators.
people have little knowledge of the Blue Ringed Octopus, it is one of the most amazing animals
The wood frog is the most widely distributed amphibian, mainly dispersed throughout the North American region, indicated by the image below. "It is found farther north than any other North American reptile or amphibian, and is the only frog found north of the Arctic Circle. (Conant and Collins, 1998, Kiehl, K. 2000) They range in colours, "usually browns, tans and rust, but can also be found in shades of green and gray. In all cases however, they can be distinguished by a black patch that extends over the tympanum to the base of the front limb". (Kiehl, K. 2000)
Arthropods have an open circulatory system, in which blood is pumped through a tubelike heart and out into the body cavity. In comparison, vertebrates have a closed circulatory system, in which blood is contained inside a system of arteries, veins, capillaries, and a heart. In an open circulatory system, blood is pumped through the heart and into the body, where it comes in direct contact with organs and tissues. The stiff exoskeleton of arthropods also helps control blood pressure. Because an exoskeleton does not change shape, when the heart pumps blood out into the body, the exoskeleton keeps the blood contained, while body movements keep it
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have lizard brain? In my book, Audrey has a ‘lizard brain’. That means she runs away when she sees a new person and lets her ‘lizard brain’ take over her real brain. Then she meets Linus and he helps her get rid of her anxiety. Audrey’s mom doesn’t like video games, Audrey is getting better, and she might go back to school.
From the dark, eerie, and mysterious language, to a well-thought-out plot of revenge, Poe uses this theme to show why his works are considered a part of Gothic Literature. In the three of his more popular works focusing on the theme of revenge includes: “Hop-Frog” (1849), “The Cast of Amontillado” (1846), and “The Tall-Tale Heart” (1843), each conveying why the narrator wanted to seek revenge, and by murdering the foe is how vengeance is sought. In the short story “Hop-Frog,” Poe introduces his narrator as a midget who is a jester of the king’s court. Hop-Frog is beaten, made-fun-of, and abused, all at the expense of the king’s fun. With all the torment, he faced and the humiliation of a friend is
Did you know that komodo dragons are the largest reptiles in the world? Did you know that Komodo Dragons Have venom sacks? did you also know that Komodo dragons are cannibalistic?

you can see, the Electric Eel is a very intriguing sea creature, and a clear display of
This dissection is used to teach students about evolution as well as how each part of the body works. In this dissection, students are studying the anatomy of the frogs. The students were not given a direct protocol to follow. Students are given a video to watch and take notes, in order to develop their own protocol. Students are allowed to use and resources given to them.
