For this experiment my partner and I decided to conduct our research on the Alces alces gigas or the Alaskan Moose. The moose is the largest subspecies of deer and specifically the Alaskan Moose is the biggest subpopulation. The Alaskan moose lives and thrives in southern Alaska up to parts in northern Alaska and also parts of Canada. The Alaskan moose eats mainly grass and shrubs, but in winter changes its diet to tree shoots and pinecones. Typically, the moose is preyed upon by wolves, and both black and brown bears which go by the common name the Grizzly Bear.…

The grizzly bears have made an incredible comeback since 1993 and should soon be delisted. However, at the moment, they still need to be federally protected under the Endangered Species Act. Criterion 1’s requirements were met since the population maintained 48 females with cubs of the year during two consecutive years. In doing so, a population of 500 grizzly bears or more maintained. The lambda requirements were also met because it has been consistently greater than or equal to one in the past few years.…

With increasing temperatures, species who survive in lower temperatures, are greatly affected by the extreme weather changes. For instance, researchers have predicted that polar bears are being negatively affected by climate changes (Molnár). In addition, polar bears are not able to survive; on the contrary, a great amount would die of starvation since they are not able to eat as much. Also, since polar bears fast while in the hibernation stage, it is being predicted that 28-48% would die of starvation before the end of the fasting period…

Global warming, also known as climate change, is the rising of the Earth’s temperature due to greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, getting trapped in the atmosphere. When the gases can not leave the atmosphere, they absorb radiation and sunlight from the sun and make the atmosphere warmer.…
