    One upside down, orange sunrise morning, Lambkin was dizzily cartwheeling his way to school along the same dirt path that he always took. It was a narrow dirt road that took him past some very interesting sites. One of these sites was a large, blue, glittery lake and another was a wall of grassy rock that jutted out at the top to make a sort-of craggy roof. On this particular day, under the craggy, sort-of roof, there stood, no less than, an enormous, (and when I say enormous I mean very big), grey elephant. Now I know you must be saying that of course he was grey, because all elephants are grey, but nevertheless, he was grey, so I will continue. Lambkin took one look at that big, grey elephant and he smiled a…

    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…

    I shouldn't have told them I live on a farm with a barn, ten chickens, a dog, a canary, two thousand deer, coyotes and beautiful Silver Bass Lake. When I say beautiful lake, I mean it in the past tense. Each year the water level drops several inches, and we now refer to it more accurately as "the puddle" threatening to transform into a wetland. But even though you can't swim because of the weeds that entangle your appendages, you can still kayak! Just be sure you wear muck boots with your swimsuit because we traditionally portage the kayak a quarter mile down the bank to find water deep enough to push in. The bloodsuckers are also a turnoff. In the last year I have only had two bloodsuckers (leeches with small teeth) attach to me. The anticoagulant kept my leg bleeding for around two…

    On April 24th I attended Stony Brook’s annual Earthstock celebration with Golden Key, the club I am. Earthstock is an event held to spread awareness of why we should protect our environment. It also gives examples of how to conserve our planet in various ways. While there were many tables with different themes at Earthstock, our table allowed for whoever wanted to stop by, to plant their own seeds. Participants then got to bring home their newly planted seeds with hopes that they will grow into a beautiful flower to put in their garden. One of the other tables I spent a lot of time with was the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. This table attracted me due to the furry animal that was there. I got to meet the little guy who was a rescued opossum. The organization told me he was two years old and that they had saved him from his mother’s pouch after she was hit by a car. He was very sweet and cute and anyone was allowed to pet him.…

    I have spent many days observing the animals, watching them find the necessities of our human day-to-day life; for example finding food and water. This tropical terrain illustrates how animals in the wild do things very differently to those in an enclosed sanctuary. My journey was about to take an unexpected turn. It would become a tremendously memorable experience.…

    Throughout the African Republic, to the edge of Congo, there use to roam some 300,000 elephants in the 1970's. Today, thanks to the efforts of humans, less than 10,000 elephants now roam this area. In a smaller perspective, in 1985, before poaching laws were put into legislature, 4,308 live elephants were counted in Zakouma, Chad, compared to the 7,861 found dead. In 2006, conversationist J. Michael Fay counted 3,020 elephants in Zakouma, nearly 900 less than the previous year (Fay, Michael J. ). Shockingly, Zakouma is a refuge site for wildlife under armed protection and still, these large decreases in wildlife are being…

    This is Kaziranga, refuge to more than 2,200 endangered Indian rhinoceros and one of the world's best-protected wildlife reserves. But even here, where rangers follow shoot-to-kill orders, poachers are laying siege to "Fortress Kaziranga", attempting to sheer off the animals' horns to supply a surge in demand for purported medicine in China that's pricier than gold. At least 18 rhino fell to poachers in and around the park in 2012, compared to 10 in all of India in 2011.…
