Brown bears live in forests near rivers, where they eat fish and plants. They are brown in color and capable of fishing in rivers and hunting for food.
The emerald ash borer, native to China, was introduced to the United States in the 1900s through infested wood packing material. It has since killed over 20 million ash trees in the Midwest by tunneling under the bark as larvae and disrupting nutrient transport. While preying on various tree species, firewood quarantines and natural predators help control further spread of the destructive invasive pest.
Moose live in northern forests near ponds and lakes, eat plants like twigs and saplings as well as bark and leaves, and can weigh up to 1,400 pounds, making them a large forest dwelling animal.
The emerald ash borer, native to China, was transported to the United States in infested packing material in the 1870s. It has killed over 20 million ash trees in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana by completely defoliating them. Quarantines of firewood aim to prevent further infestations by limiting the spread of this invasive pest to new areas.
Aboriginals lived in small huts or cabins made from natural materials before white settlement. Their homes were constructed from tree branches woven together and covered with strips of tea-tree and bark to provide shelter. Housing for Aboriginals consisted of simple structures built using nearby tree branches, bark, and other natural materials found in the environment.
The document discusses four common tree pests: the Asian longhorn beetle, emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, and western pine beetle. The Asian longhorn beetle was transported to the United States in infested packing material from China. The emerald ash borer has killed over 20 million trees in several Midwestern states. The gypsy moth, first introduced in the U.S. in 1870, defoliates oak and aspen trees through its larval stage. The western pine beetle typically infests ponderosa and Coulter pine trees in western states as part of a normal ecological process.
This document describes different types of traditional housing structures used by various indigenous groups in North America, including hogans, whickiups, cedar plank houses, and longhouses. It also lists natural resources and materials used by indigenous peoples, such as soil, water, timber, trees, bushes, animal skins, and woven grass. Finally, it provides some details about the plants and animals indigenous groups relied on for food, including berries, roots, nuts, fish, and game hunted with spears.
The grizzly bear has brown fur with white tips and a dished face. It lives in big forests and eats a variety of foods including roots, sedges, grass, animals, berries, insects, fish, and carrion. Grizzly bears were hunted and the last one was shot and killed in 1922.

The document summarizes key aspects of life for the Inuit and Aleut tribes of the Arctic region. It describes their primary foods of whales, seals, and fish, as well as their clothing like pullover shirts, parkas, and skins. It also discusses their dwellings such as igloos and sod houses. The tribes' religions involved animal spirits and shamans. Arts included carving bone and ivory and embroidery. A famous Inuit artist was Kenojuak who shared traditional art with the world.
The emerald ash borer, native to China, was transported to the United States in infested packing material in the late 1800s. It has since killed over 20 million ash trees across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana by tunneling under the bark and feeding on the cambium layer. While oaks and aspens are most commonly infected, the emerald ash borer also threatens ponderosa and Coulter pine trees in western states, where tree loss from infestation is considered a normal ecological process.
Timber has advantages for construction including low thermal conductivity which provides insulation, seismic absorption to withstand forces from earthquakes, and low embodied energy usage. It is also a sustainable material when sourced from locally available species, reducing environmental impacts from transportation.

The document discusses a large lizard found on islands in the Indian Ocean. It has 60 sharp teeth, thick scaly skin, a forked tongue, sharp claws, and a tail used for swimming and fighting. It can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh 300 pounds. However, its habitat is being destroyed as people clear land by fire and overhunt its food sources. Conservation efforts are needed to protect its habitat and move some to zoos to prevent its extinction.

The Eastern Woodlands people hunted deer, moose, beaver, and other animals using arrows and traps, and hunting dogs. They also farmed, planting crops domesticated from native trees. They lived in longhouses made of saplings and bark or mats, cooking food over fires in pots. They wore clothing made of animal skins that was adapted for the warm summers and cold winters of the Eastern Woodlands region.
The American beaver Brock and Ava have thick brown fur and buck teeth and live beside rivers, which may have dams and lots of water. They eat wood off of branches and were once found everywhere in North America.
The document summarizes key physical features, natural resources, climate, tribes, shelters, clothing, and food sources of the Native American groups that lived in the Southwest region. It notes that the landscape includes mountains, canyons and deserts with few rivers. The climate is hot during the day and cold at night, with little rainfall. Major tribes included the Navajo, Pueblo and Apache people, who built homes called hogans from wood and clay and wore clothes made of animal skins and wool to adapt to the environment. They obtained food through hunting animals like deer and snakes as well as gathering plants like cacti, pine nuts and farming corn.
Woodland Native Americans lived in the eastern woodlands of North America from New England to the Great Lakes region. They lived in various structures like wigwams, longhouses, and teepees. They subsisted through hunting deer, moose, and bison as well as fishing. Men and boys wore loincloths while women and girls wore woven skirts and leggings. When someone died, the tribe held a five-day ceremony involving singing, dancing, and face painting to express emotions.
The pioneers came from the North or South and needed food and transportation when settling the new land. Some jobs for the pioneers included cutting down trees and stacking logs. Pioneers made clothing from animal skins and had to deal with fears of wild animals and Native Americans.
The document provides brief information about China, including that the Great Wall is over 4,000 miles long and located in northern China, China invented fireworks and kites, their ancient language used symbols for writing, China is located in Asia and has distinct seasons, and the landscape includes forests, hills, mountains, deserts and the people eat fish and rice.
The people of the Northwest Coast region had an abundant source of food from the ocean and land. They harvested oysters, clams, whales, sea otters, bears, salmon and other seafood from the shore and ocean. They also grew fruits and farmed other foods. Both men and women wore clothing made from woven materials like cedar strips, grass, and animal skins that were suitable for the regional climate and seasons. The climate is mild year-round with heavy rainfall, cold temperatures and wet conditions. The landscape includes the Pacific Ocean, ice fields, dense forests, and rocky beaches.
Kolbrún Arnarsdóttir has a bucket list that includes swimming with dolphins, visiting a waterpark, and owning a house in Florida with a pool. Her list also aims to visit most of the states in the United States.
