animals case dreadful ongoing serious suffer
It is dreadful that so many animals had to suffer in this case because of serious ongoing neglect.
animal hate
I hate to see this. This animal could be 60 or 70 years old.
animals career good heart love successful takes
It's a good career if you have a heart for animals and love for people. You can be pretty successful because it really takes the combination of both.
running zoos animal
The solutions like freezing zygotes, fertilized eggs, of all kinds of animals and so on, or keeping them in zoos and having arboreta where we have trees, all these things have been promoted. Even getting the complete genetic code of various fishes so we can let them pass away and then we'll pull them back. That is science fiction run amok.
animal world ants
But once the ants and termites jumped the high barrier that prevents the vast variety of evolving animal groups from becoming fully social, they dominated the world.
animal earth four
Consider the nematode roundworm, the most abundant of all animals. Four out of five animals on Earth are nematode worms — if all solid materials except nematode worms were to be eliminated, you could still see the ghostly outline of most of it in nematode worms.
animal land ecosystems
While ants exist in just the right numbers for the rest of the living world, humans have become too numerous. If we were to vanish today, the land environment would return to the fertile balance that existed before the human population explosion. Only a dozen or so species, among which are the crab louse and a mite that lives in the oil glands of our foreheads, depend on us entirely. But if ants were to disappear, tens of thousands of other plants and animal species would perish also, simplifying and weakening land ecosystems almost everywhere.
animal fields tiny
When you get into the whole field of exploring, probably 90 percent of the kinds of organisms, plants, animals and especially microorganisms and tiny invertebrate animals are unknown. Then you realize that we live on a relatively unexplored plan.
rain animal tree
We don't need to clear the 4 to 6 percent of the Earth's surface remaining in tropical rain forests, with most of the animal and plant species living there.
animal years feet
These slender little people (Homo Habilis), the size of modern 12 year olds, were devoid of fangs and claws and almost certainly slower on foot than the four legged animals around them. They could have succeeded in their new way of life only by relying on tools and sophisticated cooperative behavior
nature animal genius
Each species is a masterpiece, a creation assembled with extreme care and genius.
nature animal ecosystems
Biological diversity is the key to the maintenance of the world as we know it... Eliminate one species, and another increases to take its place. Eliminate a great many species, and the local ecosystem starts to decay.
animals came coyote eastern hybrid whatever wolf
The eastern coyote is, in fact, a hybrid between the eastern wolf and coyote that expanded from the west. Whatever animals made it over to Newfoundland probably came from this hybrid eastern coyote.
exactly given talking
We've been talking to about 10 labels. So far, they haven't given us exactly what we want.
