thanks to us, the humans. Here, we remember them below. Number Ten: Tasmanian Tiger. Extinct since 1936, the Tasmanian tiger was a threat to farmers because it would hunt their sheep, so to fight it, farmers began hunting it. It was trapped and poisoned for government bounties and eventually went extinct because of this. Number Nine: Woolly Mammoth. The woolly mammoth roamed the earth for 250,000 years before going extinct. A recent study revealed that human hunting was the straw that broke the camels' - or woolly mammoth's - back, as a species. Number Eight: Dodo Bird. The Dodo birds lived for…

Did you know that the tiger, the largest of all cats, is on the top ten most endangered species in the entire world? Well, surprisingly it is. As of right now, there are less then 3,200 tigers left in the wild, which is sad because they are very unique animals, with many types of tigers, for instance Siberian tigers, Sumatran tigers, Bengal tigers, and Indochinese tigers. In my essay I’ll be going into detail with the Bengal tiger, Siberian tiger, and the tigers Ron and Julie from the…
The Tigers Alive “Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.” ― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shaw shank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons The…

We need to protect the species all around the world.…

The tiger is the largest of the 37 species of cats in the world and unfortunately has recently become the most endangered of all the large wild cats. All tigers face two major threats. One is habitat destruction. This not only results in less territory for the cats to live in but also leaves the tigers' territory fragmented into separate islands making is hard for tigers to mate, which make it difficult for the species to survive. Conservation efforts are often aimed at creating sanctuaries,…
Makenzie Jensen 10/19/17 3rd hour/Barker Personal Narrative Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!! The birds are singing from the tops of the trees. Butterflies fluttering around me. The stream babbling in the distance. All I can see is green for miles. And beyond that are the mountain tops painted in snow. The chilly air blows my long, luscious golden hair out of my face. Shivering, I wrap the thick wool blanket I’m holding around me tightly. I am staring at what would be the most perfect…
“The Difference between Alligators and Crocodiles” Plenty of people confuse the alligators and crocodiles, as they are both large, scaly animals of prey. What most people do not think of is that while they are very alike in some ways, they are two extremely different, yet super frightening hunters. Both of these reptiles are members of the reptilian family Crocodylia, however they are from two different families. There are a sum of 25 types of crocodilians (belonging to the Crocodylia family),…
