    The alphorn is very similar to the Australian didjeridoo. They both share a similar shape and design. Although the sound is a notable difference. The didgeridoo has a harsh, hard deep sound. The alphorn on the other hand, has a more calming, higher instrument. Personally I believe the alphorn has a great resemblance to the trumpet. Most of the higher notes and the lower notes sound incredibly similar to the trumpet. The alphorn was originated in Switzerland and was used in a way to guide and lure cows and other farm animals into their pens. The blowing is considered an art in the evening as an evening prayer. The main use was for farmers and their communication towards the animals. After the year 1800, the production of cheese was higher meaning…

    After a long day of swimming the otter would roll on the ground or rub on a log to dry themselves. The Oriental Small Clawed Otter can last up to 6-8 minutes under water, so hunting for food is easy. Their forefeet are helpful because they use them to capture their food and “Their hind feet says wildlife explorer states, “Are used for swimming.” “Their eyes stay shut for 40 days after birth,” states the wildlife explorer. According to the wildlife explorer, “Their number of young is 1-6 but usually 1-2.” One of the most interesting facts is that if several otters are swimming in one straight line with their backs out of the water their backs can be mistaken for the humps of a sea monster. Its genus and species is “Aonyx Cinera” that is also the species for the African Otter. Although they are the same species the African otter is much bigger, and weighs up to 75lb and just like the Oriental Small Clawed Otter and the Asian Otter they all have white markings on their faces, chests and throat. The Oriental Small Clawed Otter is one otter that loves to swim and definitely loves to snack on…

    The Kangaroo is an endotherm. Endotherms generate heat from their body's metabolism. So their internal body temperature is independent of the external temperature. Endotherms eat more food than ectotherms. This higher food intake results in an increased level of metabolism, which is required to produce heat.…

    I truly believe that all year 7 students should study Indigenous literature as it represents the original people and owners of this thriving multicultural land. The Dreamtime is the Aboriginal understanding of the world, of it's creation, and it's marvelous stories. The Dreamtime is the beginning of knowledge, from which came the laws of existence. Dreamtime stories always have morals behind them, and example would be, “Mirram the Kangaroo and Warreen the Wombat”. Warreen would not let Mirram into his gunya even though it was raining and he was dripping wet. This is an act of selfishness, something we definitely don't want to be. Another great example would be “Bildurag the Platypus”. This story teaches us to not discriminate by the way of…

    Just to make it fair for all readers , the Australopithecus is the genus of Pliocene and Pleistocene hominids. A major characteristic of a hominid is bipedal locomotion or walking upright on two legs. Several types of Australopithecines have been found but all lived Africa mostly east Africa about four million years ago. The Australopithecus is the first definite hominid but they all slightly differ in their features. All species of the Australopithecus can be split into either a gracile or robust australopithecine. The gracile group consists of species with smaller dentition and lighter facial features and includes the Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus afarensis, and Australopithecus africanus. The robust australopithecines have a larger dentition than the gracile with a massive jaw and face. The three species of robust australopithecines consist of the early Australopithecus aethiopicus and then the Australopithecus boisei and Australopithecus robustus. Three different types of Australopithecines will be compared and analyzed in this paper to review evidence for bipedalism and characteristics; two of the three australopithecines will be a part of the gracile group the Australopithecus africanus and Australopithecus afarensis then one from the robust is the Australopithecus boisei.…

    I hope you are getting over the flu you had last Friday. I’ve had it before and I felt absolutely terrible. I know it has been going around campus, and I see you were one of the unlucky ones to get it.

    Seals possess multiple peculiar features. Harbor Seals can exist until they are approximately thirty years old. Fur Seals are the noisiest of the seals producing sounds consisting of yelps, yips, yaps, grunts, and screeches. Despite the Harbor Seal living until it’s thirty, the walrus, can survive until it’s forty years old! Walruses enjoy sunbathing. Their wrinkled skin gets sunburned and their skin turns red. Weddell Seals have nostrils that close so they can glide underwater for extended periods of time. Surprisingly,female leopard seals also known as “cows”, are substantially bigger than the males which are known as “bulls”. Elephant seals molt which means their fur falls out.

    Cameleers In Australia

    • 1468 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Introduction: It is easy to say that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supply and exploration. Afghani people first came to Australia during the 1860s. These people were known as “cameleers”. They travelled to Australia with “travelling papers” which they obtained while working in British India. The Afghan Cameleers operated in most areas of transportation, mining and the supply of required items to farms, communities and towns. A small amount of these settled in Victoria in 1901, while others settled along the Port of South Australia. The aim throughout this essay is to argue that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supple and exploration.…
