Collard explains the relationship between capitalism and the near extinction of the sea otter species. She studies capitalism intensely, and believes that it is a disastrous concept. She also studies Extinction studies is a fairly new field of study in the world of academia. Members of our society…
For example the Hawaiian monk seal this mammal is being killed because of ocean pollution and human encroachment (author year). This is what this research paper is all about. There is a lot of endangered species in Hawaii but, this paper focuses on the Hawaiian monk seal, Green sea turtle, Hawaiian hawk, Oahu tree snail, Hawaiian crow, Hawaiian hoary bat, Hawaiian petrel, and the Kauai cave wolf spider.…
Kelp which provides food and shelter for a host species are what sea urchins love to dine on. Sea otters hunting sea urchins allow for the production of more kelp which is then used by other inhabitants. Like the sea otter, wolves are on the endangered species list. According to Hannibal, there are about 328 wolves in the state of Wyoming, known for its historic bloodlust for the hides of wolves (577). The wolf population is so low they have been placed on the Endangered Species list in certain states.…
whales needed to eat 40,000 over 6 years. 40,000 otters over 6 years / 10,960.67598 otters per whale over 6 years = 3.649 whales needed. 3) Three plausible hypotheses that could explain why killer whales are eating more sea otters: a) Killer whales are eating more sea otters due to other food sources like seals and sea lions declining in quantity in high populated killer whale areas. b) Massive population decline of the killer whales favorite prey—like the great whale—from human influence like over-hunting started a food chain disaster that led to a massive decrease in small marine mammal populations as killer whales moved from marine mammal to marine mammal. c) Whether human or environmental factors, changes in the abundance of sea lions and seals and/or in the food they eat could cause killer whales to have to search for another food source to maintain their average field metabolic weight and because sea otters are smaller in caloric content, more sea otters are required to meet the metabolic…
Dumbfoundingly, there is only one endangered animal within Voyageurs National Park, and that is the gray wolf. Being marked as an endangered species by the Federal Endangered Species Act, Voyageurs National Park has made it one of their top priorities to steadily increase the gray wolf…
In ecosystems, species depend on each other for survival. Herbivores depend on certain plants to reproduce for them to eat and survive each year. These same plants count on carnivores to kill herbivores, so that the plants do not become endangered due to overgrazing. The carnivores also depend on the plants to reproduce so there are more herbivores to eat. So what would happen if one of these important factors were removed from an ecosystem?…
Seven were taken into captivity while five orcas died. Today this population is classified as endangered. One of the orcas captured that day is still live, and she is held at Miami Aquarium. Study shows that male orcas live in a range of fifty to sixty years old.…
History cannot be defined by the story of an individual; however, one person’s story can attempt to influence history, often through print. Via publishing their own narratives, Bibb and Otter both expressed their sentiment for broad influence, to varying success. Bibb leverages legal and religious debates to appeal to rational Northerners and poor whites, while Otter markets his wilder and more violent lifestyle towards his jolly fellow brethren and those fascinated or disgusted by his multitudes of amoral sprees through a series of short stories. Throughout his entire narrative, Bibb repeatedly references “All-wise Creator” [17], and “common law” [24], nods to God and legality, to decry and expose the hypocrisy of slavery, addressing both…
There are many programs and people out there to help endangered species such as the jaguar. Jaguars face the problem of habitat loss, poaching, and farmers killing them because the big cats hunted their livestock. All of these things put together are causing a rapid decrease in the Jaguars population. Going into further detail, the jaguar population has decreased a ton over the last few decades. In the mid 1800s, there were about 400,000 jaguars roaming around.…
For this assignment, I read a scientific journal article about North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) observations around the Bay Area. The questions being investigated were “Are river otters returning to the Bay Area?” and “What factors are affecting the river otter population?” To gather information, the scientists used three methods– they launched a citizen-science investigation called “Otter Spotter”, field investigations, and focal study sites with cameras. As a result of these procedures, there were 646 citizen reports submitted between 2012-2013, and 2,050 videos recorded from the focal study sites.…
The professor adds that since dead sea otters are hard to find so the most likely cause of the sea otter decline is predation. The professor adds that predators eat sea otters completly and sea otter cannot wash up to the shore.…

Off the coast of Alaska an anthropogenic event prevailed known as the Exxon Valdez oil spill (Monson et al. 2000). The horrendous event occurred on 24th of March in 1989 (Monson et al. 2000). The vessel ran upon the Bligh Reef which is located near Prince William Sound commonly referred to as PWS (Monson et al. 2000). PWS is where most of the research on sea otters after the spill was carried out. Around 42 million liters of Prudhoe Bay crude oil was poured in the Alaskan waters (Monson et al. 2000).…
Rise of the Otters In the year 2027, the Earth's inhabitants were 69.9% made up of teenagers. The skies were blue, the sun was shining high; it was a beautiful sight to see. The Earth has went from modern to a more futuristic society, technology has advanced ten fold. Countries had ceased conflict with one another, and had created a worldwide alliance.…
Many exotic and non-exotic animals are endangered. Being endangered means there are only a few of them that exist by the reason that others had died. This is primarily by the cause that people are killing them by hunting them or only because they are altering the ecosystems and animals can’t survive. Also, they are obtained by an illegal sale. A reason of this is that they are under protection of animal advocacy organizations such as Best Friends Animal Society, Dumb Friends League, Human Society of the United States and many more.…
