Habitat Requirements Wildlife Animals

shared by morales5853 on 07 Nov 14 - No Cached
  • Habitat for any wild animal must provide: cover (shelter) from weather and predators; food and water for nourishment; and space to obtain food, water, and to attract a mate.

      Animals of course decide to live were they know they have all the necessary things. Once they are adapted to their habitat, they certainly know there are beasts they should protect from.
  • South Carolina does not have pronghorn antelope because we do not have the wide-open spaces that these animals require.

      All animals only live were they have their own space and security thats why elephants don' t live in the forest were there are many trees instead they live in Africa in the open space.
  • Wildlife do need things in their environment to hide under, but cover also includes having something to hide behind, or some type of obstruction between the animal and a potential predator.

      If a animal is being chased by his predator, he can cover itself with the predator of the animal that is chasing him and he can be safe only if the animal that he is hiding with doesn't eat him.

  • If a landowner removes or changes the amount or specific type of cover available to wildlife in that area, the local wildlife population may be affected. If a landowner decides to allow a forested property to mature, bobwhite quail populations may decline because feeding, nesting, and brood cover have been removed.

cats color blind

  • Cats and dogs are just like color blind humans, seeing some colors but not all of them. For the bright daytime light, cells known as cones are needed. Humans have three kinds of cones, enabling them to see blue, red and green.
  • Cats and dogs, on the other hand, have just two kinds of cone cells (blue and green sensitive), allowing them to see only partial color.
  • while we’re on the subject, contrary to the legend that cats can see perfectly in total darkness, they do not have those superpowers. But cats require only about one-sixth of the light that humans do, making their night vision a whole lot better than ours

  • cats, missing out on seeing life in glorious full color is really no big deal. Brightness and motion are far more important aspects of what our pets see.

      a cat can see only 2 colors, blue and yellow correctly. for example the color red they see it like a yellow green color. Green is correct too  but it is in a different shade of green. Cats as same as dogs have only tow cells of color to make them see only some colors.

Why Do People Get Bullied - 0 views

Bullying

shared by Regina Cantu on 03 Mar 15 - No Cached
  • One of the most common reasons for bullying is image. Anyone who looks the least bit different from what is considered to be normal will likely face bullying at some point in his life. Kids with freckles, acne, moles, buck teeth and other physical differences will be targeted by bullies.
  • Kids who go out of their way to sit in the front of the class, answer the teacher’s questions and do well on exams are also convenient targets because they are considered to be “nerds”.
  • Kids who don’t have the same style of clothing as their peers are often the targets of bullies.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Students from families that can’t afford to buy the latest fashions (or even high quality clothes) might endure bullying.
  • Those are are picked on for their lack of trendy clothing will often come home in tears and ask mom and dad, “Why do people get bullied?”.
  • This is a big reason why many parents choose to enroll their kids in private schools that have a strictly enforced dress code.
  • The private school’s required uniform makes life much easier for students from families without the economic means to purchase the latest fashions.
  • . It is usually the kids from wealthier families and neighborhoods that gang up on the kids from poor backgrounds.
  • Kids from wealthy families sometimes look down upon those from lesser means. The media socializes young people to act this way. Having money and possessions is considered to be “cool”.
  • Bullies pick on kids with disabilities because they are considered to be weak and inferior.
  • This is one of the more brutal forms of bullying because children with disabilities are often completely defenseless against aggressors.
  • Even kids with learning disabilities are targeted by bullies for being different.
  • If their fellow students see them getting extra time to complete exams or getting more attention from the teacher, they’ll be viewed as different and be targeted.
  • “four eyes”
  • “geeks”.

How are rainbows made? - 0 views

  • The birth of each rainbow begins with millions of tiny rain droplets.  The rain droplets serve as a type of reflector of light.  White light enters one individual rain droplet and exits as one specific color of the spectrum.  Without millions of rain droplets, a rainbow would not occur.  If you only had a few rain droplets you would only see a few colors.  This is typically why rainbow appear after a rain storm
  • Each rain droplet has a function in the formation of the rainbow. Sunlight enters the rain droplet at a specific angle and the rain droplet separates the white light into many different colors.  This angle is a fixed measurement between your eye
  • and the sun.  What color is refracted depends upon the critical angle,                   which is the angle the sunlight strikes the back of the rain droplet.  Red light bends the least, exiting the rain droplet at a 42 degree angle, while Violet light bends the most, exiting the rain droplet at a 40 degree angle.  All of the other colors of the rainbow exit the rain droplets at some angle between 40 and 42 degrees, thus making up the colors of the rainbow ROYGBIV, this order never changes.

  • Each rain droplet reflects all colors at a given point and time, but only one color comes back to your eye, requiring million of rain droplets to create a rainbow.  As the rain droplets fall through the sky, the colors of the spectrum being reflected and refracted are constantly changing.
  • The perfect time and place to look for a rainbow you need bright sunlight to your back and rain clouds off in the distance in the direction of your shadow. If it is later than 4:30 in the afternoon or earlier than 8:30 in the morning at these condition there is a very good chance you will be able to see a rainbow in the sky.  Other places you may see rainbows formed are fountains, in the ocean as the waves crash against the rock which create a mist in the air, waterfalls, sprinklers and mist from a garden hose. Always remember to have the sun at your back to see a rainbow, happy rainbow hunting!!!!!!
  • Rainbows form a complete circle, however only half is visible.  The horizon only  Picture from the web site of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Arizona State University                                                             allows us to see half of the rainbow circle, so we see just an arc.  What causes the rainbow to have a circular formation is the way that rain droplets fall.  The rain droplets do not fall is flat sheet, however they tend to fall at various distances and speeds.  On some occasions you can see a full circle around a garden hose.

      each rainbow is made by millions of rain droplets. the rain droplets make a reflect of light and it makes different colors. While light comes in a specific Droplet then it makes a specific color. Without milions and milions of rain droplets the rainbow cant be formed. If you only have a few rain droplets then you will only see a few colors. This is the reason why they happen after a rain storm.

      Each rain droplet that rains  is always useful to make a rainbow because every rainbow needs to do something different to make a rainbow. The rain droplets separates the light into different colors.

Brain worm in humans tan tan!

shared by CLudio Villarreal on 31 Oct 14 - Cached
  • Cysticercosis is a tissue infection caused by the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium).[1] People may have little or no symptoms for years, develop approximately one to two centimeter painless solid bumps in the skin and muscles, or have neurological symptoms if the brain is affected.[1][2] After months or years these bumps can become painful and swollen then resolve.[2] When cysts form in the brain it is known as neurocysticercosis.[3] In the developing world this is one of the most common cause of seizures.[2]
  • The disease is usually spread by eating foods or water that contains the tapeworm's eggs.[1] The foods most commonly believed to be the cause are uncooked vegetables.
  • Taeniasis is due to eating cysts in poorly cooked pork.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Preventing the infection involves: cooking pork well, proper toilets and improved access to clean water.
  • In some cases, cysticerci may be found in the globe, extraocular muscles, and subconjunctiva. Depending on the location, they may cause visual difficulties that fluctuate with eye position, retinal edema, hemorrhage, a decreased vision or even a visual loss.[7][12]
  • Subcutaneous cysts are in the form of firm, mobile nodules, occurring mainly on the trunk and extremities.[13] Subcutaneous
  • Cysticercosis also affects pigs and cows but rarely causes symptoms as most do not live long enough.[1] The disease has occurred in humans throughout history.[5]
  • nodules are sometimes painfu
  • Cysticerci can develop in any voluntary muscle in humans.[7] Invasion of muscle by cysticerci can cause myositis, with fever, eosinophilia, and muscular pseudohypertrophy, which initiate with muscle swelling and later progress to atrophy and fibrosis.[7] In most cases, it is asymptomatic since the cysticerci die and become calcified.
  • The term neurocysticercosis is generally accepted to refer to cysts in the parenchyma of the brain. It presents with seizures and, less commonly, headaches.[8] Cysticerca in brain parenchyma are usually 5–20 mm in diameter. In subarachnoid space and fissures, lesions may be as large as 6 cm in diameter and lobulated.

      Cysticerosis is a disease in the brain tissue that is caused by the pork tapeworm.Some people have few symptoms and some may have many for various years.People get little bumps on the skin and muscle, or you could have neurological symptoms if the brain is affected by the worm.After the years the bumps become painful and after some time they resolve.A cluster of cells then form in the brain, and that is one of the most common cause of surgeries in the world of today.The desiase is usually spread by vegetables that contain the tapeworms eggs, although it is believed that the most common cause of disease are eating uncooked vegetables.

      Some of the time, a cluster of cells form in the eye, when the globe gets infected it may suffer visual loss.The bumps often occur in the trunk and the extremities.

      There is a vaccine for pigs to try and remove Cystisercosis. These vaccines prove to be very effective, these treatments can completely destroy cysticercosis. The cure is developing but can you imagine injecting all the pigs in the world? That would require a lot of money and it would be far grater challenge finding all the pigs in the world.
