The Kangaroo has a the largest ratio where as the Honey Possum has the smallest. This is because the Eastern Grey Kangaroo’s diet of fibrous plants is quite hard to digest making the use of long intestines and fermentation chambers for absorption of nutrients. Honey Possums have a small body and therefore a small digestive system as they only have to digest pollen and nectar, which is digested quite easily. The dingo is a carnivore and has a very effective digestive system to break down the meat of its prey. Its digestive system is bigger because Meat takes substantially longer to break down than plant based foods do.…
The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the bonobo (Pan paniscus) are the two closest living relatives of humans. While, bonobos and chimpanzees are very similar to each other, they also differ in many significant ways. However, in some ways they resemble more closely to humans than to each other. For example, chimpanzee males are much more aggressive and violent, especially when competing for a mate or a rank within the group. This violence can be lethal.…
“Monotremes are the most primitive type of living mammal. They lay eggs and have a single opening (cloaca) for reproduction and elimination of wastes. The female shave no teets but provide milk directly through the skin to their young. ”(Dictionary.com) The platypus and the echidna are the only monotremes known in the world.…
The Aboriginals always looked after themselves, their family and their tribe. To make sure there was enough food for everyone, they would always split up their food and share it amongst others. The Aboriginal people tended to make sure that there food wouldn't become extinct. By doing this they left signs of the food they ate, for example shells of oysters, so the other tribes wouldn't eat…
Signs of Mink Present Successfully identifying signs of mink present is first being able to identify the animal and knowing its habits and preferred habitat. With their range encompassing almost all of the 49 continental states and a healthy population, finding signs of the presence of minks isn’t difficult if you recognize what to look for. Is it a Mink, Weasel or Otter? Minks are members of the weasel family and look very similar to weasels and otters.…
There is one animal in the primate family that has several distinct characteristics unique to that species. This is known as the Gibbon Ape. Gibbons are “endangered, small apes, that are known as the world’s greatest acrobats” (Gibbon Center, 2012). According to Enchanted Learning (1999), “gibbons’ lightweight appearance consists of a small, round head, very long arms, and a short, slender body’’ (Enchanted Learning, 1999). Although they do not look like humans, gibbons have senses very similar to ours including “hearing, sight, color vision, smell, taste, and touch” (Enchanted Learning, 1999).…
Our design for a VR experiment is where you’re in the shoes of Harambe, the Lowland Gorilla of the Cincinnati Zoo. The simulation starts in the gorilla pit, where you’re just sitting there, munching on some leaves, and walking around, about to drink some water to quench your thirst. Then, a screaming child falls in the pit, and you’re very confused. You catch the falling child and put it in your arms. You ask yourself “What is going on?…
When talking about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people there are many similarities and differences in relation to their culture and history including: Similarities: • Both are indigenous Australians ie. they were the original people to live in Australia and were living naturally in the environment of the country (Macquarie University, 1989, p. 528) • Both were impacted by the European settlement especially in ways of employment exploitation, invasion of their land and the control over their education and family life • Both have strong links to the land and or water (depending on where their specific people are from) eg. they are the basis for things such as tradition, spirituality, law and heritage (Queensland Government, 2011)…
The term Aboriginal Australians means indigenous Australians. This means that these Australians are native to Australia. For over 50,000 years, the Aborigines had Australia to themselves. But today, less than 3 percent of Australians are Aboriginal. This is why they call them aboriginal, because they were the first humans to live on that…
A further concept of this unit of work lays in the social impacts of war and the related learning experiences is students identifying and understanding perspectives and the associated impacts upon the Australian home front. In applying Aboriginal perspectives it is not simply including indigenous content but incorporating Aboriginal methods and principals, and thus, making it more relevant so students may connect with their culture (Barnhardt 1990, Leavitt 1994, Lipka 1990). In the attempt to examine the impacts of war upon society the first method to mind would be to congregate the students into talking groups, allowing everyone to contribute if so desired on their prior knowledge and understanding on such issues as the changing role of…
3. Evaluate, on the basis of research, ways in which different societies or cultures have used plants to sustain human populations while supporting environmental sustainability (e.g., sustainable agricultural practices in developing countries such as crop rotation and seed saving; traditional Aboriginal corn production practices). The agriculture and hunting of Aboriginal people focuses on taking in only what is necessary (7). Around the world millions of tons of edible food is wasted and in developed countries ~222 million tons of food is wasted per year (8).…

When people think of intelligence they only think of how smart a human or animal is, but there are a lot of different concepts that go into intelligence. One concept of intelligence is the emotions humans and animals feel. Even though some people think that animals can feel different emotions, they can; one of those emotions is pain. In the jungle, rhesus monkeys will fight other monkeys and leave horrible wounds, and in response, the monkeys will scream from the pain. During mating season, the rhesus monkeys will also rip out their their opponent's testicles.…
Koalas used to eat and consume lots of plant, they adapted this food in order to survive. Others also say that they evolved from animals that stay in trees so that there preditor doesn't get to them. Some koalas have adapted from the environment and that has also helped them to not get eaten. A koala's ancestor is a phascolarctos these live in Australia and they range from northern Queensland to south western Victoria. They live on trees to stay away from predators and this is why Koalas live for a very long time.…
They also eat their own feces which allows them to ingest a higher percentage of proteins and other nutrients. Capybaras live in small family groups of 10-20 individuals…
