was designed by landscape designer and writer Frederick Law Olmsted and the English architect Calvert Vaux in 1858 after winning a design competition. The park might appear natural , but in fact it is almost entirely landscaped. Every tree, plant, lake and pond has been planted and made by human hands. Central Park, home to over 25,000 trees, has a stand of 1,700 American Elms, one of the largest remaining stands of in the north- eastern U.S. You can also observe many mammals and birds. Raccoons and opposums who come down from the trees to feed at night, have become extremely common in Central Park in recent years. They even made warnings around certain areas bacause some raccoons can even hurt people. Although not commonly sighted, there are chipmunks and opposums in Central Park. Also there are many water birds for example ducks , and also hawks and other birds.

for the plant, as they lose too much moisture and get damaged. So the trees cut off the water supply to the leaves and seal off the leaf stems where they join onto the tree trunks. The leaves are not able to produce the chlorophyll that makes them green. The leaves become yellow, red or gold before they dry up and fall off the trees. Animals: A wide variety of mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles can be found in the deciduous forest biome. Mammals that can be found include bears, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, wood mice, and deer. Animals like bobcats, elk, bison, mountain lions, timberwolves, and coyotes used to be found in the deciduous forests, but have been hunted down by humans and almost wiped out. Melting snow in spring and rain during summer provide water for streams and ponds. Many water birds, insects, and fishes are found in this biome, along with amphibians such as frogs and salamanders, and reptiles such as lizards and small snakes. The platypus lives in the
night while hunting. Cougars may be active by day in areas far from humans. They are most active at dawn and dusk, the times when deer are out feeding. In a healthy ecosystem, Mountain Lions are a top predator, helping to balance wildlife populations. Deer are their primary food sources, and the presence of deer indicates likely presence of cougars. Mountain lions are opportunistic feeders, and can survive on a variety of prey including rodents, birds, porcupines, fish and raccoons, as well as livestock and domestic animals. When winter food becomes scarce, most of Yellowstone's mountain lions migrate to lower elevations. Those lions that are dominant over other lions in the fight for food tend to inhabit the park's northern mountains where year-round prey is available. While it is a large predator, it is not always the dominant species in its range, as when it competes for prey with animals such as the gray wolf, black bear, and the grizzly bear. It is a reclusive cat
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is largest and most known animal rights organization in the world. They mostly concentrate their attention on factory farms, clothing trade, animal testing and entertainment industry. When going to PETA webpage first thing to see was pop up window about stopping seal hunt in Canada. They are especially concerned about killing animals because they are considered pests. Such animals would be beavers, bats, geese, deer, pigeons, mice, raccoons, snakes, chipmunks, squirrels, bears, coyotes, ducks, foxes, mountain lions, prairie dogs, rabbits, and even wolves. So their view on hunting is negative. [9] Animal Aid is animal rights organization in United Kingdom, founded in 1977. They do campaigns against all forms of cruelty against animals. They lobby politicians, make undercover investigations into slaughterhouses, factory farms and horse racing industry. If they find anything it is given to media or used in campaigns
There are also deposits of silver and gold Animal life In the Arctic regions of mountain and tundra are found ground squirrels, occasional bear and cold-water fish. Alaskan coastal waters are the habitat of a number of large mammals including walrus and seals. Caribous spend summers in the tundra but migrate into the conifer forest for winter. The moose ranges throughout the northern United States. In the eastern forests live elks, black bears, deer, foxes, raccoons, skunks and squirrels. Along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico live large and more colourful birds such as pelicans and flamingos. Alligators can also be found there. Bison (buffalo) are popularly associated with the grasslands, although they once ranged over most of eastern North America before becoming nearly extinct because of hunting. Now they exist only in protected areas. In the western areas live elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and a small number of brown bears. The
through streets profusely adorned with flowers and greenery. American English 14 In the early part of the seventeenth century English settlers began to bring their language to America, and another series of changes began to take place. The settlers borrowed words from Indian languages for such strange trees as the hickory and persimmon, such unfamiliar animals as raccoons and woodchucks. Later they borrowed other words from settlers from other countries for instance, chowder and prairie from the French, scow and sleigh from the Dutch. They made new combinations of English words, such as backwoods and bullfrog, or gave old English words entirely new meanings, such as lumber ( which in British English means approximately junk ) and corn ( which in British means any grain, especially wheat ).
Mediterranean in coastal California and arid in the Great Basins. Its comparatively generous climate contributed (in part) to the country's rise as a world power, with infrequent severe drought in the major agricultural regions, a general lack of widespread flooding, and a mainly temperate climate that receives adequate precipitation. 6.
