Yellowstone national park
This document discusses Yellowstone National Park. It notes that the park covers 3,000 square miles and was established in 1872. Some key attractions mentioned include the famous Old Faithful geyser and the many animal species that can be seen, such as bison, wolves, bears, and squirrels. The document also notes that while predator-prey relationships exist between some animals like foxes and wolves, there is no parasitism occurring in the park.

The document discusses some of the amazing wildlife found in the Amazon including the anaconda which is one of the largest snakes in the world, the giant catfish that make their homes in the Amazon river, and some of the most exotic animals that live in the dense Amazon jungle.
The White Tailed Deer
The document discusses the white-tailed deer. It describes the deer's habitat in North America, diet of various plants, and specialized digestive system. The deer have adapted coats and communicate through tail positioning. Observation near a military base found many deer grazing at dawn and dusk, with curious fawns.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was a famous English naturalist born in 1809. He is known for his theory of natural selection proposed in his book "On the Origin of Species", which had a tremendous effect on the development of evolutionism. During his voyage on the Beagle, Darwin arrived at the Galapagos Islands in 1835 and made important new discoveries there. For example, he observed that iguanas on different islands had adapted in different ways, with some becoming marine iguanas that could swim and feed on seaweed. Darwin theorized that natural variations among individuals could be passed on and either help or hinder survival, leading to the evolution of new species adapted to their environments over many generations through natural selection.

Asian long horned beetle
The document discusses the Asian long-horned beetle, an invasive pest from Asia that was first discovered in the US in 1996 and poses a serious threat to trees. It details the beetle's discovery in Worcester, MA in 2008, the ongoing efforts to eradicate it including inspecting and spraying over 95,000 trees and removing 30,000 infected trees. While progress has been made, it notes it took other states over 11 years to be free of the Asian long-horned beetle.

White tailed deer
White-tailed Deer, or Odocoileus virginianus, are common in Pennsylvania. Key terms include buck for male deer, doe for females, and fawn for spotted young deer. Deer prefer edge habitats near forests and farmland for cover and food. Chronic wasting disease is a neurological disease affecting deer, elk and moose. Pennsylvania confirmed its first case on a deer farm in 2012. Common signs are weight loss, increased drinking and urination, and abnormal behavior. There is no cure or vaccine for chronic wasting disease.

Chinchillas are rodents that live in the mountains, making their homes in cracks or holes in rocks. They eat plants and have predators like owls, foxes, and mountain lions. While rare in the wild, chinchillas typically live 8 to 10 years.
The jesus christ_lizard
The Jesus Christ Lizard, also known as the Basilisk Lizard, is able to run or walk on water due to its ability to run very quickly. It lives in rainforests in Central and South America near streams and rivers, eating insects, plants, small mammals, flowers and fruits. When babies are born, they are independent and the female lays around two dozen eggs. Adults can reach 16 inches long and weigh between 0.4 to 1.1 pounds, with a lifespan of 8 years.
American belts
The document describes four major crop belts in the United States: the Corn Belt, which extends from Iowa to Ohio and has good climate and soil for growing corn as animal feed; the Dairy Belt from the Saint Lawrence River to the Great Lakes, which has a wet, cool climate suitable for crops to feed dairy animals; the Wheat Belt from Alberta to Texas, which has a dry, variable climate and uses extensive crop rotation and fallow periods to grow wheat; and the Cotton Belt from Texas to North Carolina, where cotton and other crops from the era of slavery are traditionally grown.

The Venters run the Riverside Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in South Africa, which rehabilitates and releases vervet monkeys and baboons back into the wild. They have successfully rehabilitated and released over 600 monkeys. The process involves medical care, integration into social groups, exposure to natural predators in large enclosures, and gradual release into a temporary enclosure at a protected nature reserve, to allow the monkeys to establish themselves before fully regaining their freedom. However, the future of the centre is uncertain as the South African government has claimed the land it operates on.
Red Fox and Gray Fox
Wolves, coyotes, and foxes were once abundant in Pennsylvania but were driven to extinction by human activity like habitat loss and bounty programs. Coyotes have since returned to the state and are found in all counties. They are larger than historic coyotes and believed to be coyote-wolf hybrids. Foxes were also affected by habitat changes as the gray fox's woodland habitat disappeared, allowing for the introduction and spread of the red fox. Both red and gray foxes are now found throughout the state. While wolves are still absent, efforts at conservation have allowed for their return in some parts of their historic range.

Save Animals Presentation by Yash Thite
Several animal species are endangered or threatened with extinction due to hunting by humans. Tigers, rhinos, pandas, cheetahs, sea turtles, red wolves, and snow leopards have all been poached for their skins, horns, or other body parts. Their populations have declined dramatically due to hunting for traditional medicine, trophies, or sport. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and increase their wild populations through anti-poaching measures, breeding programs, and habitat preservation. However, many species remain at high risk of extinction if threats from poaching and habitat loss are not effectively addressed.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
