The golden-cheeked warbler, native to central Texas, have been on the endangered list since May 4th, of 1990. These birds live in the Ashe juniper (cedar), oaks, as well as other hardwood trees found throughout this region. The golden cheeked warbler are endangered due to the clearing of much of their oak woodland and tall juniper habitat for the installment of homes, roads, stores, and otherwise human related needs (TPWD).

    The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner explores evolution through the most famous examples in history—the finches of the Galápagos Islands. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the process of evolution are applied directly to what scientists refer to as Darwin’s Finches. Weiner follows scientists Peter and Rosemary Grant as they study the finches in real time on the Galápagos. Years of previous work, study and data is collected and analyzed. Different species of animals are observed and explained throughout history. The Grants have one goal, and that is to find the origin of the species, how organisms first began. They find that it really is about the “survival of the fittest” and who nature selects to thrive and produce generations far greater than the last.…

    The goldenrod (Solidago Canadensis) is a native plant found throughout most of North America and parts of Central America. One interesting characteristic of the goldenrod plant is its ability to form a hollow pod, or gall, around its stem. The first time I saw the gall, I assumed it held inside it seeds for reproduction. My hypothesis was proved wrong however, as after I cut open the gall no seeds were present inside. Instead, a goldenrod gall fly (Eurosta Solidaginis) was perched within the gall.…

    Inhumane, atrocious conditions, which Romans had imposed on their slaves created a favorable ground for frequent outbursts of slave uprisal. In the past, during the years of rebellions, instigators were discovered and executed, and hundreds of participants were crucified often framing the roads to Rome with their decayed bodies still hanging on the crosses (60). Among the prominent leaders of the opposition movement was a legendary Red Eagle, whose words stirred up slaves spirit and spread like fire throughout the city (60, 354). Using "act" or posters, Red Eagle spread the message of fighting for equality and freedom by nonviolent means opposing assassinations with his conviction that " the rulers had as many rights to a long life as slaves"…

    Here’s a little history on the American Pit Bull Terrior, dating back to late seventeen hundreds, the Pit Bull Terriors were used for bull baiting, hunting, and as family companions.
