Orangutans are great apes that live in the tropical forests of Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia. They grow to be 4 to 4.5 feet tall and weigh between 90 to 180 pounds depending on their gender. Orangutans eat a variety of foods including fruits, leaves, bark, termites, and ants. Females give birth once every 8 years and carry their babies for 9 months. Orangutans are threatened by habitat loss and poaching.
Pandas are black and white bears that live in central and western China. They can grow up to 3 feet tall and 5 feet long, weighing between 200-300 pounds. Pandas primarily eat bamboo, consuming it for about 16 hours per day. Female pandas give birth to tiny cubs weighing only 3-5 ounces after a 95-165 day gestation period. Their potential predators include humans who hunt them for their fur, despite conservation efforts.
Harper Collins Redux: A Cost Analysis of Harper Collins eBooks vs. Random Hou...jventuro
This document analyzes the costs of lending ebooks from HarperCollins under different models. It finds that the average ebook price increased drastically from 2010 to 2012. For popular titles, purchasing single-use copies would require buying 18 fiction and 13 nonfiction titles, costing over $400 total. Under a metered access model, costs are lower at $21-85 per title but increase with circulation. The best-case scenario has metered prices falling over time, keeping the cost per circulation below $0.50 and making it the most cost-effective option long-term.
The document summarizes key facts about bald eagles, including that females are larger than males, they have a white head and tail with brownish black feathers, and prefer habitats near large bodies of water and spruce trees for nesting. Bald eagles can live up to 50 years in captivity and 39 years in the wild, with females laying 1-3 eggs per year. Their main enemy is humans due to habitat destruction, but bald eagle populations have increased due to legal protections.
The great white shark is a large, powerful apex predator that can grow up to 26 feet long. It inhabits coastal waters near continents except Antarctica. Great white sharks stalk prey from below and consume around 11 tons of food in a year, able to go months between large meals. While they have few natural predators due to their size, great white sharks are threatened by hunting and killing by humans for their fins and other parts.
Pink dolphins live in rivers in the Amazon region. They can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh 200 pounds. Unlike ocean dolphins, they have a hump instead of a dorsal fin. They forage along river bottoms for fish, crabs, and small turtles. Pink dolphins give birth after 9-12 months of gestation and calves weigh about 2.2 pounds at birth. Their main threats are sharks, fishing nets set by people, and water pollution. Local folklore says pink dolphins have magical powers.
The great white shark is a large, powerful apex predator that can grow up to 26 feet long. It inhabits coastal waters near continents except Antarctica. Great white sharks stalk prey from below and consume around 11 tons of food in their lifetime, able to go months between large meals. As top predators, their main enemies are humans and humpback whales, though they usually only attack humans if disturbed.

The jaguar is a large cat found in South and Central America that can weigh up to 350 pounds. It lives in forests, wetlands, grasslands, and near water. Jaguars are carnivores that eat almost any prey, including armadillos and crocodiles. Females give birth in summer and cubs weigh 1.5-2 pounds at birth. Jaguars are endangered due to hunting for their fur and loss of habitat.
Chimpanzees are intelligent primates that live in communities in Africa. They have dark hair and big ears, and spend 50-75% of their time in trees. Chimpanzees eat both plants and other animals, using tools like sticks. Females give birth to one baby after a 230 day pregnancy and raise them alone for several years. Chimpanzees are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
The sloth is an animal that lives in tropical rain forests in Central and South America. It spends most of its time sleeping in trees and eats leaves, fruits, buds, bugs, and twigs. Sloths have curved claws for climbing trees, thick fur covered in algae, and give birth to half-pound babies each year that they nurse for six weeks. Their few enemies are jaguars and humans.
American alligators are the largest reptiles in North America, ranging from 8-13 feet long and weighing 450-1200 pounds. They live in coastal wetlands from Oklahoma to Florida and prefer freshwater habitats like swamps, marshes, lakes and rivers. Alligators are ambush predators that eat most animals that come to the water's edge, though they also sleep on land and dig burrows during dry seasons. In spring, males make loud bellowing sounds during courtship displays to attract females for breeding, who then build nests near water and lay 20-50 eggs.
The document provides an overview and agenda for a two-part tutorial on using the OverDrive service to check out and download ebooks, audiobooks, and other digital media from the library, including demonstrations of browsing for materials, downloading titles, using required software like Adobe Digital Editions, and available help resources.
Fennec foxes are small nocturnal foxes that live in the deserts of North Africa. They have large ears up to 6 inches long that help dissipate heat. They live in underground dens with multiple entrances and spend the day sleeping underground to avoid the hot temperatures. Fennec foxes are opportunistic eaters that consume small mammals, insects, plants and store food. They have adaptations like fur on their feet and eating plants for moisture in their harsh desert environment. Females give birth to 2-5 kits between March and April and the young leave their parents at 5 months of age. Their predators include eagles and caracals, but humans also threaten them through trapping and hunting
