large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any wild land mammal in
the Western Hemisphere, extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable species, the cougar is
found in every major North American habitat .
The
Mountain lions of Yellowstone region were significantly reduced by predator control measures during the early 1900s. It is reported that
121 lions were removed from the park between the years 1904 and 1925.
Then, the remaining population was estimated to be 12 individuals.
Mountain lions apparently existed at very low numbers between 1925
and 1940. They maintain a secretive profile in the Yellowstone

envied by their same-sex peers for their young, firm trophy wives. Older women who partner with younger men, on the other hand, are universally regarded as predators. The cougars fall into two categories: the first, in full war paint and tight dresses; the other has had her hair done and possibly buys a new dress, yet still looks like a librarian on a night out. Actually, not every older woman with a younger man is technically a cougar: If you’re in your thirties, you’re a puma. If you’re in your forties and fifties, you’re a cougar. And if you’re in your sixties, you’re a panther. This cougar thing is great for women. It’s empowering. It’s a laugh. It’s whatever you want it to be – as long as the cougars in question don’t imagine their relationships will stand the test of time. Because time is the one thing cougars do not have on their side.

Tundra animals Reindeer Reindeer were first domesticated in Norway and northern Asia. When it was seen how valuable they were, they were brought to Alaska in 1887 and later to parts of Canada. These North American reindeer became known as caribou. Although they are called by different names, they are both considered to be a single species. Unlike deer, both the male and female have antlers. The antlers of the male are long, branched and massive, and they are a little flattened at the ends. The antlers of the female are much shorter, simpler and more slender and irregular. Their large, spreading hooves support the animal in snow in the winter and marshy tundra in the summer. Reindeer are also great swimmers and use their feet as paddles. They can also lower their metabolic rate and go into a semi-hibernation when conditions get very harsh. When it looks like there is nothing to eat on the winter tundra, reindeer will scrape the snow away wit
Cheetah The cheetah is most famous for its speed. It is the world's fastest land animal, having been known to run at speeds up to 70 mph. However, it is able to sustain this pace for only a short period of time. In order to be able to move this quickly, the cheetah has a slender body, a small head, and long legs that allow it to travel about 24 feet in a single stride when running. It weighs between 90 and 140 pounds, stands at about 36 inches tall, and measures 72 inches in length. Not only is the cheetah's physical shape designed for speed, but it has other special features as well. For instance, the spine of the cheetah is flexible enough to act as a spring when the cheetah runs. It also is the only cat without retractable claws. This allows the claws to always be exposed, acting like cleats when the cheetah is running. The tail is also designed to help maintain balance at high speeds and during quick turns. Other features of the cheetah include its tan coat with many small, round
Protecting endangered species will make a difference in humans' life In the nature of humankind it is natural to hunt animals. However, nowadays hunting endangered species will make humans be just killers, because it is not necessary to kill something just to have a trophy on the wall at home. People can be proud of what they have done, but decreasing the population of a species largely will cause the specific animal breed to go extinct faster than it would happen via natural causes. Therefore, humans should stop hunting endangered species to slow down their extinction, as these species offer balance in the wildlife, are used without purpose in medicine, and may even reduce poverty. Species on the brink of extinction affect us more than we realize. Sure, pandas are cute, and rhinos are fun to look at, but is there anything more to that? All animals and plants form a very important part of our ecosystem that also includes our lands and waters. Remove one part from the environment

literature were the best. Australian Art didn't seem to be so important at all. All that has changed now. Australia has grown up. Sydney is one of the artistic capitals of the world. World famous Australian actors and artists don't have to travel to Europe or America anymore- people come to Australia to see them. Cinemas now also show Australian films. History Australia may well be the home of the worlds first people. Stone tools were discovered in New South Wales, in 1971. It shows that humans lived in Australia at least twelve thousand years before they appeared in Europe. The first Europeans to arrive in Australia were the Dutch who tried to reach the East Indies, but landed on the western coast in 1611. They thought Australia was an arid land inhabited by fierce savages. In 1770 captain James Cook discovered the eastern coast and had a better outlook
broad and quite light. This gives the leaves a bigger surface to capture sunlight to help produce food for the plant. This is called photosynthesis. When the weather gets cold, broad leaves are not good 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.
Animal rights movements and their views on hunting Koostaja: In Wikipedia there are listed 34 animal rights organizations [8], so in this report author has picked out some of these organizations and will introduce their views on game management and hunting. First hypothesis before deeper research is that all such organizations are against all sort of hunting. When mentioned animal rights people usually think about people fighting against wearing furs and keeping animals in cages, but when delving deeper into this there are many problems that animal rights organizations/ movements are addressing. There are also those organizations that have not made any statements about hunting, some of those concentrate only on pets (mostly cats and dogs) but some just don’t mention hunting in any way. These types of organizations have been left out from this report. Below are listed some organizations, their goals and views on hunting. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is la
