    Most pet turtles, red eared sliders included, are mainly herbivorous in the wild and can survive on vegetables such as carrots, lettuce or cabbage or fruits such as berries. Some owners also introduce earthworms or live insects such as crickets, beetles or spiders. You can also buy commercial turtle food to ensure that your turtle is getting all of the nutrients it needs. Diet and frequency of feeding is also, in part, a function of your turtle's age.

While placing it under a dissecting microscope under a 450x magnification, it was easy to come to the conclusion that it was a bug, due to the distinguishable body type, including a pair of eyes.

    Before the Industrial Revolution in England in the 1800s, the population of the Peppered Moth (Biston betularia ), was mostly a light color with dark spots which helped them blend in with England’s trees. The trees had dark trunks with light white colored lichen. Only a small percentage of dark colored moths existed in this population. The few dark colored moths were effortlessly picked out by birds and other visual predators because they were easily seen against the light background of the trees. When the Industrial Revolution started, the smoke from England’s coal plants darkened the trees by covering them with layers of soot, and killing off the lichen, and then exposing the dark trunks. Now the light colored moths stood out and were easily identified by predators. Over time, the dark colored moths which became best suited for the environment, kept reproducing until the new majority of the Peppered Moth population was almost all dark in color. The difference between Peppered Moths and other species that have undergone natural selection is that in the late 1900s, Britain and other countries started to clean up the air to reduce the amount of pollution, causing the light colored lichen on the trees to grow again and the…

    Armadillo Research Paper

    Armadillos have one of the highest rates of expansion being 10 times the active rate of a mammal. I think this is because they came from Mexico and the Southern Americas to America and since they do not have much meat on them, they are able to not be hunted. Also Armadillos had this invasion because of the large rivers and hunters in southern America. The armadillos also moved because of the humans invading them in Texas when Humans would start fires in the prairie grass. This then caused the overpopulation of armadillos in Florida due to no more predators, fires and rail road travel where the armadillo would then sneak onto the train and sneak off in Florida. These armadillo were also brought into Floridian zoos as pets and they would escape that. Also a cool interesting fact is that armadillos can live 20 years or even longer (sucks for the ones on the side of the road). So if armadillos can live up to 20 years or even longer they give birth to 4 babies at a time and they have the ability to delay implantation of fertilized eggs for…
