The document summarizes the extinction of two flightless bird species - the dodo bird and the great auk. It describes that the dodo bird lived on Mauritius off Africa and became extinct in the 17th century due to being hunted by sailors as an easy food source. It also describes that the great auk lived in the North Atlantic and was also hunted by sailors and fishermen for its eggs, feathers, and skin over 100,000 years until the last known birds were killed in 1835. Both species were flightless and faced extinction shortly after human contact due to being hunted as easy prey with no natural predators.

The document discusses several species that have gone extinct due to human activity and environmental changes. It describes how the passenger pigeon population was hunted to extinction in the early 20th century after Europeans arrived in North America. It also mentions other species that were driven to extinction in just a few decades by hunting and habitat loss, including the dodo bird, northern white rhino, and Pyrenean ibex. Several other extinct species are briefly outlined, such as the quagga, Tasmanian tiger, Steller's sea cow, and great auk, which were all impacted by hunting and human encroachment on their environments.

It also includes a short section on the endangered Giant Panda and conservation efforts.
Ghosts of gone birds the brief
This document discusses the extinction of numerous bird species from various locations around the world. It provides details on each extinct species such as their habitat, population trends over time, and primary factors contributing to their extinction including hunting, habitat loss, introduction of invasive species, and other human impacts. Many of the extinct birds were endemic to isolated islands which made them especially vulnerable.
Extint species
1) Achelousaurus was a genus of ceratopsid dinosaur from 74.2 million years ago in North America. It was a quadrupedal herbivore with parrot-like beaks and bony bosses on its snout and behind its eyes.
2) Megaladapis edwarsi was a large koala lemur on Madagascar that went extinct around 500 years ago due to overhunting by humans. It grew up to 1.5 meters long and weighed up to 75 kg.
3) Aerosteon is a genus of megaraptoran dinosaur from Argentina that shows evidence of a bird-like respiratory system. It lived during the Santonian stage approximately
Chesta pt.x sst
The woolly mammoth lived from around 2 million years ago until around 10,000 years ago, during the last ice age. They inhabited Asia, Europe, and North America and ranged in size from 9 ft to over 15 ft tall. Mammoths had long tusks used for mating rituals, protection, and digging in snow for food. The longest tusks were over 17 feet long. Mammoths are now extinct, but are known from fossil remains and frozen carcasses found in these regions. Hunting is believed to have contributed to their extinction around 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.
Extinct animals (2)
The document discusses two extinct animal species: the aurochs and the dodo. The aurochs was a wild cattle species that inhabited Europe, Asia, and North Africa and weighed up to 300 kilograms, surviving until 1627 in Poland. The cause of its extinction is unknown. The dodo was a flightless bird from Mauritius that weighed about 23 kilograms and had non-functional wings. It was first sighted in 1507 but went extinct in 1681 due to overhunting by humans for its feathers.
Endangered animals
The document provides information on several endangered animal species:
The White Rhinoceros is nearly extinct in the wild and few have been brought into captivity successfully. The most breeding success has occurred at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.
The California Condor population declined to less than 40 birds despite conservation efforts. The first condor bred in captivity was named Molloko at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.
Leopards have faced declining populations due to loss of habitat and poaching for their valuable fur. Conservation efforts are helping protect leopards in some areas.
Xlorida panida cyprus(english)
This document discusses the flora and fauna of Cyprus. It notes that Cyprus has over 1950 species of flora, of which 153 are endemic. The fauna includes 32 mammal species, 126 reptile and amphibian species, 364 bird species, and thousands of insect species. Cyprus' geographic position at the intersection of three continents and long isolation have led to great biodiversity and many endemic species. Notable endemic fauna mentioned include dwarf elephants and hippos that once inhabited the island.

A Visit to La Brea Tar Museum
1.0 Introduction
The visit to the La Brea Tar Museum would be one of the most influential experiences in my career and life as whole. The visit is one of the events that enhance my passion to advance my career in a history-related discipline. I believe that only the visit could equip me the immense knowledge that I now possess concerning some of the most admired historical facts and concepts. Through the museum tour, I have gathered substantial knowledge regarding the Pleistocene extinction. I now appreciate that most of the largest mammals that the present generation might admire to see perished during the Pleistocene era. Moreover, I have learned the lions, cats and other members of saber-toothed cat family have shared ancestry. I appreciate that the huge and powerful canines possessed by the saber-toothed cat family was a crucial component of their survival ways. The visit to the museum has familiarised me with several facts about the extinct camels. I admit the fact that camels are presently associated African and Asian deserts though; they originated from North America. On the other hand, the tour to La Brea Tar Museum has cleared my doubts regarding dinosaurs. Presently, I have indisputable knowledge about dinosaurs and the early carnivores. I have clear understanding on how dinosaurs emerged, survived as well as their extinction. Concerning the early carnivores, I admit that adaption to their feeding methods like the huge and powerful canines have not changed significantly throughout the evolution.
2.0 Pleistocene extinction
In essence, the visit to the La Brea Tar Museum enhanced my knowledge concerning the Pleistocene extinction. I learned from the visit that the change of climate among other factors led to the death of the last mammoths. It is clear to me that the mammoths disappeared approximately 3,700 years ago according to the human recorded history. Some historians associate the extinction with the comet impact and human actions. I am aware that the human beings contributed to the extinction of mammoths and Saber-toothed cats among other animals after visiting the La Brea Tar Museum. The impact of Pleistocene extinction was so extensive that it led to the loss of giant ground sloths, terror birds and the spotted hyenas in Europe. I have learned from the visit that the Pleistocene extinction was a world disaster and it did not take place at once (Haynes, 2009). Notably, the geological pattern of the extinction indicates that the extinction assumed the path of wandering human beings. During the tour, I read well that climate change and human beings are the key culprits of the Pleistocene extinction though, some historical scientists claim that a falling comet triggered the extinction. The mammoths disappeared shortly after human beings settled in th ...

Ringing birds with unique metal bands has provided valuable information about bird migration patterns and population trends. Recovering ringed birds helps track breeding and migration routes, like a chiffchaff that was re-trapped in the same area a year later. Satellite tags on cuckoos revealed their wintering grounds in Africa and important stopover sites in Italy, information that can help understand the species' decline. Continued tracking through ringing and new technologies may help reverse the population drops threatening many species.

Stop Animal Extinction
The author wants to research and help stop animal extinction because they like animals. The main causes of animal extinction are deforestation, greenhouse gases, forest fires, and pollution. Burning fossil fuels increases greenhouse gases which trap heat and warm the planet, melting glaciers. This makes the oceans more acidic and inhospitable for sea life. While animals cannot be completely stopped from going extinct, efforts can be made to help them.

Scientists drilling for oil in Roma, Queensland discovered a 40 foot section of a dinosaur's spinal column. The dinosaur is believed to have been about 100 feet long and lived 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. A paleontologist identified the fossilized remains as belonging to a dinosaur. The discovery may be scientifically important like the 1924 discovery of immense dinosaur fossils in the same area, including a 50 foot long reptile weighing over 40 tons. Fossils of other prehistoric animals from the Jurassic and Cenozoic eras have also been found in Queensland, providing insights into life millions of years ago.
What is history
The document discusses the origins and migration patterns of early humans based on genetic research. It describes how all modern humans originated from a group of San Bushmen in Africa who began migrating around 50,000 years ago. Some traveled along coastal routes to Australia, while others went through Central Asia to Europe and beyond. Genetic testing has found Central Asian markers in populations around the world, supporting this migration path. The document also discusses the impact of a volcanic eruption in the 6th century CE and the Columbian Exchange that occurred after Columbus' voyages to the Americas.
What is history
The document provides a summary of human migration and evolution over thousands of years based on DNA evidence. It details the earliest branches in the human family tree in Africa that led to migration out of Africa to Australia, India, Europe, Central Asia, and eventually the Americas around 10-20,000 years ago. Major events like volcanic eruptions in 535 AD impacted climate and civilizations globally. The Columbian Exchange that began with European contact reshaped agriculture, populations, and the introduction of plants, animals, and slaves in the Americas.
Evolutionary Theory in 21st Century
This document summarizes evidence for evolution from biology, paleontology, geology, and molecular biology. It provides examples of transitional fossils, homologous structures in different species, and molecular evidence like the universal genetic code that supports common descent. Vestigial structures and imperfect biological designs are explained as consequences of evolution rather than intelligent design.

Galápagos Essay
The Galapagos Islands experience a dry season in August. During this time, the nutrient-rich Humboldt Current supports large schools of fish, attracting whalesharks, dolphins, sharks, rays and other marine life to feed. Migratory and native seabirds also thrive, diving from the sky into shallow waters. Sea lions, marine iguanas and turtles are present taking advantage of the abundant food sources. Snorkeling and diving during this time allows views of hammershead sharks, blacktip sharks, whitetip reef sharks and orcas hunting in the waters.

Nouns can be either singular or plural. Singular nouns are used to refer to one person, place, thing or animal, and are used with "a" or "an". Plural nouns refer to multiple people, places, things or animals and are usually formed by adding "-s" to the end of a singular noun. The article "a" or "an" is chosen based on whether the next word starts with a vowel sound or consonant sound.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

compare & contrast-Kate march 29.pptx
- 1. ENGLISH 4
- 2. Look at the picture. Write 3 things about apple and 3 things about oranges.
- 5. The Dodo Bird: A Symbol of Extinction • The dodo bird lived on the island of Mauritius, off the southeast coast of Africa. Because the bird went extinct in the 17th century, there are no photos available. Drawings, paintings, written accounts, and a handful of specimens give us a rough understanding of its appearance and behavior.
- 6. • What we do know about the dodo bird is that it stood more than three feet tall, weighed about 40 lbs., and was flightless. It most likely lost this trait because it didn’t need to fly: There were no predators on the island, and fruit and seeds provided abundant food sources. Things started to change for the dodo bird in 1505 when the Portuguese arrived on the island. After that, the bird, which weighed about 50 lbs, became a welcome source of food for sailors.
- 7. • Along with humans came pigs, monkeys and rats, which made meals of the dodo bird eggs. Since the species had never seen humans before, none of the dodo birds on the island were afraid of humans, yet another reason they became such easy prey.
- 8. • The last reported sighting of a dodo bird was in 1688, in the hunting records of Isaac Johannes Lamotius, who was the governor of Mauritius. All that remains of the dodo bird today are a dried head and foot at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and skeletal remains. In recent decades, several excavations on the island have allowed scientists to assemble complete skeletons of the dodo bird. Because it took so little time after human contact for this animal to go extinct, the dodo bird has become a symbol of the role of humans in protecting endangered animals.
- 9. The Last of the Great Auks • The Great Auk is an extinct species of bird that covered a large range of the North Atlantic coast, from Iceland to northern Spain. Though it was flightless, it was a powerful swimmer and used its skills in the water to hunt crustaceans, one of the staples of its diet.
- 10. It stood a little under 3 feet tall and weighed about 11 pounds. It nested along the coast in colonies consisting of thousands of birds. The colonies were so dense that sailors reported being able to spot the shore based on the sight of the black and white birds. The Great Auk was hunted by sailors and fisherman for more than 100,000 years. Because they were flightless and rather clumsy on land, they were easy to catch.
- 11. • The bird’s eggs and feathers were also in high demand in Europe, further reducing the bird’s population. By the early-1800’s, the population of Gr eat Auk colonies had dwindled significantly. Iceland was the home of the last known colony of Auks, who were killed for their skins in 1835. One of the very last birds was caught on St. Kilda island in Scotland in 1844 by three sailors. A large storm passed through the area and the men killed the Great Auk, believing it was a witch who caused the storm.
- 12. • The cultural significance of the bird has been discovered in recent history. Cave paintings featuring Great Auks were found in France dating back 20,000 years. The Great Auk was also an important symbol for Native Americans. A person buried in Newfoundland around 2000 BC was found surrounded by more than 200 Great Auk beaks, believed to be part of a ceremonial burial. About 80 specimens of the Great Auk exist today, found in museums around the world.
