    What´s Hippopotamus Symbolize Cliff Quackenbush?

    A hippopotamus symbolizes Cliff Quackenbush almost perfectly. Hippopotami are often the subject of rude and out-of-place jokes and insults just as Cliff Quackenbush was in the text. Hippos are often made fun of simply for their somewhat “funny-looking” appearance much like Cliff Quackenbush was “systematically disliked since he first set foot in Devon” (Knowles, 78), and was the target of “careless, disinterested insults” (Knowles, 78). Hippos are remarkably strong and incredibly intelligent animals who are well adapted to their environment, and while they can be peaceful if not provoked, they are noticeably fierce creatures. Cliff Quackenbush is described as having “furious arrogance which sprang out now at the mere hint of opposition from…

    Hip Joint Research Paper

    The hip is the body's second largest weight bearing joint after the knee. The hip joint is a ball and socket synovial joint at the juncture of the leg and pelvis. From Figure \ref{hip} it can be seen that the rounded head of the femur forms the ball and the acetabulum forms the socket. In this the femur head fits into the acetabulum in the pelvis. The hip joint forms a connection between the the axial skeleton and the lower extremity of the body. In a healthy adult os coxae or hip bone is comprised of the ilium, the ischium and the pubis. The pelvis is made up of the two hip bones along with the sacrum and the coccyx. The three are united anteriorly by the pubic symphysis. The stability of the hip joint is important as it is the second largest…

    Acquired Tusklessness In African Elephants

    Both male and female elephants usually have tusks, however, cows in Addo are generally tuskless. It was initially unclear whether this condition was inherited or acquired. Acquired tusklessness is a result of a fracture of a tusk below the skin fold surrounding the tusk (Steenkamp, Ferreira, Bester, 2007, 75). While acquired tusklessness could impact the number of elephants regarded as tuskless, researchers needed to establish the number of fractures in the wild. Elephants held in captivity were excluded because dental issues are far more common in captivity. The study concluded that the incidence rate of fractures in the wild was very low, only 5 percent of African elephants (Steenkamp et al., 2007, 75). Furthermore, the increase of fractured…

    Why Do Giraffes Population Decline

    During the past 30 years the population of giraffes has staggered, with numbers decreasing so significantly that these animals are on the verge of extinction. Records from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) show in 1985 there were approximately 155,000 giraffes. In 2015, it was discovered that there were only 97,000 left. Some of the major causes of the species population decline are poaching, political strife, and loss of habitat in Africa. Prior to 2015, giraffes were listed by the IUCN as “least concerned” status. The problem is giraffes are curious creatures, which makes them easily accessible to hunters. They are a valuable food resource, since they are large and can be consumed by many. Now their status has…
