    The White-Nosed Coati (Nausa Narica) belongs to the Procyonidae family and is a relative of the raccoon. The most prominent feature that distinguishes Nausa Narica is it’s long tail, which extends to about 50 cm in length, and accounts for approximately half of its total body span. The white-nosed coati inhabits dry and moist forests all throughout South America where climbing trees are an important aspect of their day-to-day life. The main predators of the white-nosed coati, boas and hunting cats and birds of prey, are also adapted to arboreal life making efficient climbing and balance while climbing crucial for the coatis survival. The length of their tail thus presents itself as an acquired trait that enables them to maintain balance as they climb trees in addition to its uses in the social organization of the species. As Hass and Valenzuela (2002) observed in Nausa narica their tail has uses in the social organization within a population against the threat of predators. The length of their tail allows them to be seen over tall grasses and vegetation when on the ground, enabling them to communicate with each other as well as communicate to the predator that they have been identified as a potential threat. It has not yet been established whether the white-nosed coati would have the same survival and reproductive success in their environment with their existing predators if their tails were shorter in length resembling that of its close relative the raccoon, although it seems plausible. The length of the white-nosed coatis (Nausa narica) tail is an adaptation in response to the external threat of predators that affects their survival within their environment.…

    There is a vast amount of insects that roam this planet and many insectivores are needed to help keep their populations in check. Many have adapted to support a sustainable food source and survive on a diet solely of insects. One in such would be that of the Pangolin from that of many parts of Africa and Asia. Interestingly enough, this scaly mammal for its size, has the largest tongue of any mammal and as well the stickiest saliva. These adaptations give the Pangolin a better opportunity to catch prey such as ants and termites. They in turn walk on their hind legs and use their front claws for digging and the smashing of prey. Although sad, this little mammal has been sought after by many human poachers greatly affecting their population and sustainability in the wild. They…

    Hyracotherium, one of the fossils observed, has morphologic characteristics that suggest life in thick, closed canopy forests. The species’ dental characteristic, bunodont, is an indication of a browsers eating habit. In addition, the small skull, small rostrum and a short masseter implies a diet of easily chewable and digestible soft foods, like berries and nuts, mainly found in forests. Also, their digitgrade limbs are most adaptable to a habitat requiring more maneuverability than speed. In a thick canopy forest, speed would be unnecessary as there would be obstacles of trees, shrubs and wet grounds. Rather, maneuverability would be much more efficient in a forest where the surroundings are bushes, shrubs and trees. This type of limb also becomes easily fatigued and while that is dangerous in an open grassland, this quality is acceptable in a thick canopy forest where running is limited to short periods of time.…

    Millions of children take spelling tests, but only hundreds of children are able to make it to the National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. In the documentary Spellbound, directed by Jeffrey Blitz, eight children are filmed throughout their journey to the National Spelling Bee. While the National Spelling Bee may not be considered a sport, the final rounds are on the television program, ESPN. It is normally on the week after Memorial Day weekend, and is open to students who have not yet completed the eighth grade, reached their fifteenth birthday, or students who have not won a National Spelling Bee. One of the contestants of the Bee is Angela Arenivar, a young girl from a small rural town in Texas. And the second is Nupur Lala, a girl who lives in the urban city of Tampa, FL. Although Spellbound follows two girls who share the same passion in studying and have parents who are immigrants, the financial side of the American Dream only benefits one of the two girls.…
