Melanism is due a recessive dominate gene mutation, alto it is most common in jaguars, the black panther can also be referred to as a jaguar. Close examination of one of these black cats will show that the typical markings are still there, and are simply hidden by the surplus of the black pigment melanin. Big Cats with melanism can live with their litter mates that do not have this condition. In big cats that hunt mainly at night the condition is not detrimental. Some White panthers also exist, white panthers can also be called being albino or also known as leucistic individuals of the same three species.
The California condor or, Gymnogyps californianus, for instance, it has a hooked beak so that they can dig into the carcasses left by previous predators. Unlike its close looking cousins like the eagle or vultures, the condors don’t have a good sense of smell so they depend on their eyes to see their prey. They consume mostly large mammals on which they can eat for days. The California condor is often called "nature’s cleanup crew", because they eat all the dead carcasses left behind. Being scavengers, Condors don’t kill their food; instead they depend on other predators in the area to kill the animals so they can consume the remains.
However, this rare subspecies has several distinct characteristics such as white flecks on the shoulders, a cowlick on the back (a cowlick is a tuft of hair that cannot easily be flattened), and a crook in the tail.

Black Superheroes, Where are They? Think back to your favorite marvel movies, you may think of characters like Iron Man, Thor, or even Spiderman. These are all great superheroes that have saved the world more than once, but the only problem is with this is these characters are all white, where are the black superheroes. I found a website titled “The Top 100 Marvel Superheroes” and according to this website there is only one black superhero in the top 15. This needs to change, this website referring to the comics, I looked more in depth to see if this trait carried over to movies and sure enough it did, nothing has changed.
Today there are many controversial subjects discussed throughout the media. One of the most discussed is race and the Black Lives Matter movement. Recently, I came across an article titled “The Truth of ‘Black Lives Matter’”, written by The Editorial Board. The article was published on September 3, 2015, to the New York Times. In the article, The Editorial Board writes about what they believe African Americans are facing as challenges in society today, including the all-too-common police killings of unarmed African-Americans across the country. The Editorial Board is right that some African Americans have been treated unfairly, but all ethnicities have been. Life is a precious thing that comprises all ethnicities. This brings us to ask; why
Media is a focal reason for the evolution and formation of masculinity, especially black masculinity. Men are at the forefront of media, and the men that are portrayed in media are almost perfect in every fashion. The media has stereotyped black men, which ultimately leads to the evolution of the black man. The evolution of the black man is formed through a stereotype because, it affects the expectations of what black men are supposed and not supposed to do. Starting in the early 1950s the image of black men started to change. Elite black jazz men started to withdraw themselves for the stereotypical black man.
Commonly referred to as the African serval or serval cats, the species Leptailurus serval is a medium sized feline native to the continent of Africa. Although it is widley spread throughout subsaharran, they have become extinct in some locations due to human predation. These elegant creatures are known for its remarkable resemblance of a cheetah with a beautiful fur coat that has spotted markings and long thing legs. Another distinguishable feature of the serval are its large round ears that face forward on top of their heads. These features help the serval hunt for prey giving it a relatively high success rate of about 50%.
Giant female pandas become ready to reproduce at the age of 5 years, and can reproduce until about 20 years of age. Giant pandas can only mate once a year for a time frame of three days. Mating season is between March - May. A female panda will be pregnant for 95-160 days. Sadly if the mother gives birth to more than one cub, she will choose one of the newborns and move on without the other. The slow reproductive rate for pandas is the main reason they are endangered. In a mother pandas life she could have up to 6 cubs, but many do not make it. Female pandas can have 5 - 8 cubs in a lifetime. Young pandas can stay with their mothers for up to three years before becoming independent. Baby pandas nurse for 8 - 9 months. What is the lifespan of a
The Black Panther had a huge background of history, goals, and beliefs. Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, Ca 1966, founded the Panthers. They were originally as an African American self defense force and were highly influenced by Malcolm X’s ideas. They were named after Lowndes County Freedom Organization or LCFO. The Panthers had many goals like; giving back to the ghetto, protecting blacks from police brutality, and to help blacks get freedom and jobs. They also had many beliefs like; Malcolm X was a great person, and they believed that gun use was ok if necessary, or if people were oppressing the poor.
They cared about the poor and wanted better for the black community. They gave back to neighborhoods by feeding families in need. They also started a breakfast program for inner city kids that were going to school with no food in their stomach. Black panthers were fatherly and motherly figures to many African Americans. They led as phenomenal role models for the children, inspiring them to strive for more. They wanted nothing but the best for the children and others in the community. They stood with pride and courage walking around the neighborhood with guns for protection. They only carried weapons to protect themselves from the ignorance of the Caucasians. They even held peaceful protests to calmly fight for the rights of their people.
Jim Crow, a series of laws put into place after slavery by rich white Americans used in order to continue to subordinate African-Americans has existed for many years and continues to exist today in a different form, mass incarceration. Jim Crow laws when initially implemented were a series of anti-black laws that help segregate blacks from whites and kept blacks in a lower social, political, and economic status. In modern day, the term Jim Crow is used as a way to explain the mass incarcerations of blacks since Jim Crow laws were retracted. Through mass incarceration, blacks are continuously disenfranchised and subordinated by factors such as not being able to obtain housing, stoppage of income, and many other factors. Both generations of Jim Crow have been implemented through legal laws or ways that the government which helps to justify the implementation of this unjust treatment of blacks.

Phillis Wheatley and Elizabeth Freeman’s actions influenced the American Revolution. Wheatley through her literature, which included poems sent to George Washington and a poem written in regards to King George the third, was able to set an example of how African Americans are intelligent and equal human beings of the American colonies. Elizabeth Wheatley went against all odds to obtain her freedom by suing her slave owner and winning the case in court. Phillis Wheatley and Elizabeth Freeman’s actions during the American Revolution affected what liberty rights they would obtain years after the American Revolution ended.
Despite the restrictions imposed by slavery, African Americans have made significant contributions to American culture in music, literature, and cuisine.
Harlem Race Riot of 1964 was one of the most violent riot of American history. The riots started on July 16, 1964 when an African American student James Powell was shot and killed by a white, off-duty Lieutenant Thomas Gilligan (Samuel). The riot lasted six days from July 16 to the night of July 22. The race riots “highlighted the racial injustice and growing civil unrest” in the country (Civil rights digital library).
The United States rests upon a foundation of freedom, where its citizens can enjoy many civil liberties as the result of decades of colonial struggles. However, African Americans did not achieve freedom concurrently with whites, revealing a contradiction within the “nation of liberty”. It has been stated that "For whites, freedom, no matter how defined, was a given, a birthright to be defended. For African Americans, it was an open-ended process, a transformation of every aspect of their lives and of the society and culture that had sustained slavery in the first place." African Americans gained freedom through the changing economic nature of slavery and historical events like the Haitian Revolution policies, whereas whites received freedom
