Historically, Kentucky was home to two wolf species: the red wolf the gray wolf. Today, neither wolf species can be found in the Bluegrass State.

On the other hand, however, others argue that it is the full responsibility of human beings to take care of wildlife populations. The proponents argue, “The aggressiveness and involvement of the human race in wildlife conservation is the ...

Farley Mowat's autobiographical account Never Cry Wolf, written about his time investigating the causes of the decreasing population of caribou in Canada, is a hard-hitting and uniquely spiritual account of the Arctic Wolf.

His mention of this is quite clear in its intention; Mowat equates the bureaucrat with wild animals like the wolf, though their territory and their methods are quite different. In light of the hazardous and fear-based imagery associated with the arctic wolf, often by ...

What could advancing age have added more?. (Dryden)

Answer the Questions

Social behaviour in animals is the relationship or interaction that happens between two or more individuals. This usually happens between animals of similar species. They form familiarities and cooperate in matters such as mating, parenting, communication and territorial authority. Group behaviour or collective behaviour on the other hand is the coordinated behaviour of large groups of animals usually of a similar species. This is characterised by the benefits of these groups. Animal group behaviour is different from social behaviour because of the fact that even animals from different species can form a group based on their similar interest while in social ...

Most of the times, writers and authors use imagery as a tool to create this effect, but in terms of songs, artists make use of different techniques such as repetition, to make their songs stay longer inside the head of the listener. In this essay, we have analyzed such a song called “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” by Bob Dylan. Also, the lyrics ...

Response to “The Three Little Pigs” by James Finn Garner

We observe how three pigs manage to live peaceful life. They start from transition to settled life and built various dwellings depending on the available materials and construction skills. In spite of stratification of their society they “lived in harmony with ...
