process however both have different adaptations that allow them to live in either land or water. A diving beetle and a mayfly are both good examples of how insects have adaptations that allow them to live in the water and be fully submerged without drowning. Diving beetles swim to the surface of the water to collect air, the gas exchange process then occurs and oxygen is produced. When the beetle swims back under the water they have a system in which they conceal the oxygen in…

“A rhino kills a rhino then kills another rhino,” says Cory Knolton as he rides atop a jeep, gun in hand with the goal of killing that very rhino repeatedly convicted of inter-species homicide. Months earlier public opinion used language calling for Knolton to be hunted, for his children to be murdered in front of him, and for his wife to be raped to death. “The Rhino Hunter (RadioLab).” My goal with this essay regarding trophy hunting and its benefits to big game endangered species…

From the point of this major physical change from a human to a beetle, his family starts to turn on him. This is due to the fact that Gregor had no longer acquired the ability to work to work and provide for his family. After everything he had done for his family, it seemed to hold no meaning to them. They were…

Have you ever seen water come up storm drains in sunny weather in the middle of the day? Or how about 70,000,000 people being stranded on rooftops? This is a problem people are beginning to face every year because of climate change. Climate change is greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere, causing earth’s temperature to rise. Climate change is a huge issue because it causes many problems that destroy lands and waters, and kill animals, plants, and humans or cause them to relocate. It is so…

Rhinoceros, written 1958, and published 1959 is one of Ionesco’s most popularized plays. It opens on a usual Sunday in a town, where abruptly a rhinoceros is sighted twice by the townspeople. Initially some wonderment is expressed about the strangeness of this happening, but eventually a great deal of discussion is devoted to whether the two sightings were of the same rhino or of two different ones, and whether the rhino(s) belonged to the African or Asian species. Soon it becomes evident that…

the tally on Africa’s rhino war stands at more than 1,000 poached rhinos, 22 poachers killed, and more than 200 poachers arrested (Sohrabian 2013:16). In an effort to alleviate the pressure on the species, some have proposed to legalize trade in rhinoceros horn. It is the belief of such advocates that “rangers and conservationists could win the war if rhino horns were farmed on a large scale” (Sohrabian 2013:16). Unlike elephants who die when their tusks are removed, rhinos can survive without…

animals were still alive, authorities are resorting to increasingly drastic methods to try and protect the rhinos that remain, from drone surveillance to a rhino DNA database to even poisoning rhinos’ horns. So far, it’s not working. The western black rhinoceros went extinct in 2011. The rest of Africa’s rhinos could follow suit within 20 years. In America one of the most poached animal is the American Black Bear it is ranked in the…
