Anaconda's Experiment 7 Young Calves
He did an experiment where he placed 7 young calves in an anaconda’s cage and only one calf was swallowed by the snake. As soon as the snake was full, it did not bother the other calves. He repeated the experiment a couple of times with the same results. He also did another experiment where he gave hundreds of tame and wild animals including squirrels, bees, and ants the chance to gather as much food as they want and once they had what they needed they stopped. Another experiment that he did was to place a cat and dog in a cage and after an hour he trained them to become friends. Then he added a rabbit and he got the same results. After 2 days he had a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves and monkey in the same cage and they were not bothering

    Radiolab 'New Nice' By Dmitri Belyav

    This episode analyzed the domestication of animals. It details an experiment performed by a Russian Darwinian geneticist named Dmitri Belyaev. Belyayev wanted to understand how domestication occurs. It seems like a simple question but the results were very interesting. He used silver foxes for his experiment. He had one control group and one experimental group. With the experimental group he controlled which ones were able to breed. The ones that were able to breed did not show fear of humans and were not aggressive. He continued to breed these foxes over and over again. Within 10 years he had successfully domesticated these foxes. Throughout the process of domestication, Belyaev noticed some physical changes that were…

This action was negative reinforcement. An example of this is taking a painkiller to relieve the symptoms of a headache which results in…

    There Will Come Soft Rains Vs Damned Human Race Analysis

    Thus I verified and established each step of my course in its turn before advancing to the next. These experiments were made painstakingly in the London Zoological Gardens, and covered many months of painstaking and fatiguing work.” (Twain, The Damned Human Race) The experiments were mind blowing and cruel. Twain stated, “In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which the other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately. Next, in another cage I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansas; a Buddhist from China; a Brahman from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. Then I stayed away two whole days. When I came back to note results, the cage…

    How Did Richard Dawkins Refute Creationism?

    Mash pointed out that black-headed gulls would consider a black wooden model as a real gulls, yet it is only a wooden rod without any body, legs, wings or tail. Dawkins’s teacher, Tinbergen found out that stickleback fish mistakenly thought a red mail van and a silvery dummy were their same species! By citing these two experiments, Dawkins gives adequate evidence to prove that limited intelligence and eyesight suggest that organisms do not have to be “perfect” to work and that they can be easily fooled. Instead, most of the animals judge whether an object is their same kind by only one or few characteristics.…

    Essay On Oxpeckers

    The basis of mutualism is the idea of reciprocity. This traditional assumption is tested in this new study that examines the relationship between Oxpeckers and large mammals in Oxford, Ohio. In this study done by Miami University Professor of Biology Dr. David Russell he divides cattle into two groups; one group has the presence of Oxpeckers the other has the absences, in order to test the amount of tick loads—a food source to the Oxpeckers—that is found on the cattle after a month. He performs this study three times and each time the groups undergo a different treatment and the amount of ticks are counted. According to Dr. Russell (2016) “the presence and absences of the Oxpeckers had no effect on the tick load found on the cattle.” In essence…

    A Response to Jeremy Rifkin

    I feel that Rifkin’s argument is weakly supported by irrelevant research and anecdotes. I fail to understand how “Betty” and “Abel”, the tool-making crows, are supposed to result in my change of heart about animals. Though I certainly feel that we should treat animals with care and regard for their well-being, we must also remember that animals provide an important food source for all the people of the world. In addition, the use of animals for research has resulted in valuable progress in the curing of many diseases.…

    Bulls, Bears and Golden Calves

    John E. Stapleford, Professor of Economic Development at Eastern College in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, rightly states that ethics and economics are the ground-level topics of this book. The author also makes the valid point that both economics and ethics developed as branches of philosophy. He further observes that over the years, barriers between the two disciplines have developed with most economists avoiding any explicit mention of the ethical implications of the economic theories and concepts addressed in popular economic texts. Stapleford seeks to address this gap.…

    natural selection lab

    Lab #2 focused on the predator prey concept. Charles Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest is what was tested in this experiment. Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest states that the animals that are able to adapt to their environment the best are the ones who will survive and pass on those adaptations to their children. Animals adapt for many different reasons some of them might be to help defend against a predator, to be able to retrieve food more efficiently, or just to help them live in a harsher environment. The animals that are able to adapt to their situation the best are the ones that will be able to live on and reproduce the ones that are unable to will die off. In order to test this theory we used 100 paper chips ten of ten different colors and two different pieces of cloth to simulate an environment. We put the chips on the pieces of fabric and then turned around so we were not facing the fabric so when we turned to face it we could pick the first one we saw and then turn back around. We did this three times for each fabric.…

    Cattle Raised In Feedlot Essay

    Many people believe that raising cattle in a feedlot is inhumane. The truth of the matter is that feedlots are necessary in order to provide the world with the beef it is demanding. Cattle are usually raised on pasture for the first 12-18 months of their life. After this time they are moved to a feedlot for anywhere from 3-6 months. This time in the feedlot is allowed for the animal to reach market weight. Misconceptions are that cattle raised in feedlots are not cared for properly, however these cattle are fed a high quality diet, treated in the best way possible, and are required to feed the world.…

    Critical Evaluation: Mark Twains' "The Damned Human Race"

    The author begins his "study" by reiterating that, even though all are animals, there is a definite separation between species: human race, quadrupeds and lastly fish, birds, reptiles, etc. He then moves on, with sometimes scathing irony, breaking down various "experiments" he conducted. One such experiment pitted mans' natural instinct against the instincts of an anaconda. He offers the story of an English Earl, visiting the Great Plains, who was welcomed with an organized hunt of buffalo. During this hunt, the men killed "seventy-two of these great animals", yet only utilized (ate) one of the buffalo, allowing the rest to go to waste. (Twain) In an effort to prove if animal was indeed "lower" - the author let seven calves loose in the cage of an Anaconda. The hungry animal subsequently killed one calf - devouring it quickly. After satiating itself, the animal ignored the other six calves, harboring no desire to kill purely for the sake of killing. The author conducted this experiment, with several other Anaconda's, always with the same end result.…
