Mammals of Africa

He 's just been waiting for a new discovery in his sector to develop: frankly, he reveals his obsession with fame when he claims; "It” could have been a bird… etc. "It" in this case clearly refers to the creature that would come along and make him famous! Mendez displays a self-regarding role, due to the fact that he was not the original person who discovered the hairless mole rat; he resume to take full credit to this discovery and be recorded in history. Mendez received some sort of divine blessing when he learned of the hairless African bucktooth mammal, and threw himself eagerly into studying and photograph the creature that burrows underground and lives in stable, constant temperatures. Mendez obsession with fame elicited him to manipulate the situation of caring for “his” discovery. Mendez dribbled over the discovery and demands the condition to be all his, he then had to fabricate as though he cared for his subjects. Shipping the hairless underground rodent to the United State gave him the power to subjectively control the mole rat’s environment. Mendez cements the role in creating a legacy by introducing the naked mole rat as his own discovery rather than the quest to understand nature. While Mendez presents himself as an agreeable co-ed species; consequently, they do not signify…

an island type of an environment when East-Africa flooded. Since the population was isolated, the apes would have to go to the sea for further survival. By the time these apes reached land again, their body composition would have now altered, in so many ways further connecting this theory. Humans are relatively naked mammals much like the only other naked mammal, aquatic also underground animals; unlike mammals living in Africa. This may include animals such as hippos, whales, also naked mole…

Overkill states that humans were directly responsible for the extinction of the large mammals in north Eurasia and the Americas during the Late Pleistocene era. Martin observed that there is a connection between the time humans began inhabiting north Eurasia and the Americas, and the extinction of the majority of enormous mammals. The overkill hypothesis states that the predecessors of the Native Americans arrived in North America (approximately fourteen thousand years ago), there were a myriad…

Primates, a small group of mammals, including monkeys, apes, lemurs, bushbabies, lorises, tarsiers, and humans. Now, what makes a primate different from all animals, one of the reasons being that they have all retained the ancient mammalian trait of pentadactylism. This means that with the exception of spider monkeys, they all have 10 fingers and 10 toes total. Along with their hands and feet, on each finger and toe they all have fingernails, meanwhile they all have opposable thumbs- just…

Elephant Food In Charles Siebert “An Elephant Crackup?” the author analyzes the hazardous lack of empathy between the people and elephants that coexist in Africa. Like Michael Moss’s work “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food” this lack of empathy between food companies and the consumer leads to a conflict of interest for the poor and lower classes of society. Giant Food Corporation’s bank on the “conscious effort -taking place in labs and marketing meetings and grocery-store…

The Hedgehog Erinaceous europaeus Hedgehogs are fascinating creatures! With such a small body length and only weighing a few ounces, it’s astonishing they are not categorized as rodents. What’s even weirder is that some hedgehogs eat dog food. Hedgehogs have a much shorter gestation period compared to other animals. Have you ever wondered what a hedgehog looks like? The head, body, and tail length is about 6-14 inches, and they only weigh about 14-39 ounces. The gender differences are very…

They are marine mammals but unlike a dolphin or whale the manatee has a flat, paddle like tail. They have two front flippers which each has at least three nails on it, another quality distinguishing it…

They are also in great demand in southern China and Vietnam because their meat is considered a delicacy and some believe that pangolin scales have medicinal qualities. Over the past decade, over one million pangolins are believed to have been illegally trafficked, making it the most trafficked animal in the world.…

Dolphins are mammals not a fish. They are mammals because they breathe air directly to their lungs. They have hair at some point during their life cycle. They are warm blooded and give birth to live young. And they also nurse their young. Dolphins put a lot of their energy into raising their youngs. The ocean is a hard place to live for a mammals but a dolphin are adapted for the marine environment. Inside their pectoral fins they have a skeletal structure similar to the human's arm and feet.…
