You were currently sitting on Tim's very clean couch. He laid down a plastic cover the couch and you brought a towel to sit just in case the plastic decided not to cover the couch either.

Since when did Tim get all these darn rabbits from?! You gave yourself a doubtful look before yelling out to Netherlands, "TIM!", you carefully maneuvered through the crowded floor, and picking up a few of the bunnies, eventually yourself became the bunny holder, literally. As you continue moving around the small bun-bun, you heard a faint grunt from the room in front of you. You quickly walked…

Our rabbit, which measured twenty-two inches in length by six inches in width, beared a few similarities to the minks we previously dissected. Taxonomically, minks and rabbits are quite different; whereas rabbits are of the order Lagomorpha and Leporidae family, minks belong to the order Carnivora and Mustelidae family (Animal Diversity Web). Despite these differences, however, their internal structures were composed rather similarly. For example, both the mink’s liver and the rabbit’s liver…

relatives are disappearing and nobody even knows who they are. The American Pika is a less known animal that everybody should know. They are called a “whistling hare” because of how vocal they are.

Koch decided to run experiments on the Claustrum using mice. While the mouse was moving around, sniffing, eating, and doing other mouse things, Koch was monitoring the Claustrum, and…

continue for the next month and a half. The terrain changed; the Tally region is notorious for having grids with an increased level of difficultly compared to the Seeley region where we began. The grids were now all eighty trap grids instead of fifty; therefore, we were checking anywhere from 160 to 240 traps each day. The type of forest we were in varied from grid to grid; we experienced old-growth forests, pre-thin, and thinned forest. Lastly, the number of hares we caught doubled and even…
