Ravens2 (1)
Ravens are large black birds with a wingspan of 46-56 inches that eat both animals and plants. They are highly intelligent and can imitate sounds. Ravens build large nests out of sticks lined with materials like bark or plastic bags where they lay 3-7 eggs that hatch within 18-20 days, and the young fledge 35-42 days later.

Birds Intern Presentation
This document summarizes Shawn Waxali's 2016 internship at the Houston Zoo working with the Birds Department. Some of the experiences included helping with the kitchen, bird incubation, and various habitats. Responsibilities involved habitat construction, animal nutrition, veterinary care, and behavioral analysis. The document also provides information about Cooper's Hawks, including their physical characteristics, hunting and breeding behaviors, and role in the ecosystem. It discusses interactions between Cooper's Hawks and the zoo's collection birds and potential solutions to prevent predation issues.
Anthony Mammals
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that can live on land and in water, have hair or fur, and have a diverse diet consisting of plants, meat, and other foods. The document discusses different types of mammals including armadillos, bats, carnivores, hoofed mammals, marine mammals, and primates, and provides examples such as jaguars, deer mice, and black-tailed prairie dogs. It also profiles elk as the author's favorite mammal for their reddish brown fur, size of up to 5 feet tall, forest habitat, and range across Canada and other cold regions.
Invertebrates
This document provides classifications for various animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, and invertebrates. It separates animals into categories such as bony fish, jawless fish, cartilaginous fish, songbirds, flightless birds, and birds of prey.

The document also separates invertebrates into phyla such as mollusks, flatworms, annelids, roundworms, sponges, echinoderms, cnidarians, and ar
Deer
Deer have reddish-brown fur in spring and summer that turns grey-brown in fall and winter. They live in forests and meadows, eating nuts, fruits, grasses, and chewing their cud. Deer have many predators including cougars, wolves, and humans. They share their habitat with other animals like moose, squirrels, birds, and insects. While humans hunt deer and cut trees, removing deer could negatively impact the food chain.
Calvin pietron bearded dragon (pogona)
The bearded dragon is a large lizard with many scales and spikes, a long tail, and a ferocious appearance. It lives in trees, rocks, bushes, and glass cages and eats insects, vegetables, mice, and worms. Bearded dragons have a lifespan of 5-8 years and females lay 20 eggs every 55-75 days. They contribute to the environment by hunting bugs but are threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Efforts should be made to protect their trees and stop hunting them.

Red-eyed tree frogs are small, soft-skinned frogs that range in color from red, orange, blue, green, yellow, to brown. They live in trees in warm, humid climates in Central and South America. Red-eyed tree frogs eat small invertebrates like flies and ants. They use camouflage to blend into tree leaves and protect themselves from predators. Females lay 40 eggs under leaves, and the tadpoles develop until metamorphosing into small tree frogs.

The document provides information on bald eagle characteristics, behaviors, habitats, and conservation status.
Robins
Robins are small gray and orange birds that live in North America. They lay blue eggs with brown dots and feed on berries, worms, seeds, and insects. Robins migrate south for the winter to places like Texas and have feathers, lungs, and are warm-blooded.

All about sloths
Sloths are medium-sized, arboreal mammals that belong to two families and are related to anteaters. There are two main species of sloth - the two-toed sloth and the three-toed sloth. Sloths move very slowly and only when necessary to conserve energy, with speeds of up to 4 meters per minute when escaping predators. They can live 20-40 years, grow up to 70 cm long, and give birth while hanging upside down from tree limbs. Additional interesting facts are that sloths can swim, sometimes die hanging upside down in trees, and defend themselves by lashing out with their sharp claws.

The birds described in the document include the national bird of India, the peacock, as well as commonly seen birds like crows, pigeons and sparrows.
Chelsea m black lemur
The Black Lemur is a medium-sized lemur reaching 38 inches in length. Males have black fur while females have white fur with black ears. They live in undisturbed tropical rainforests but can also be found in secondary forests and tree farms. Black Lemurs move through trees by walking, running, and leaping on all fours. They are omnivorous, eating fruits, leaves, flowers, insects, and small vertebrates. Mating occurs in April-May and females give birth to one young from late August to early October after a 125 day gestation period.
Scat-Identification.pdf
This document provides a visual guide to identifying animal scat in the field. It begins by explaining why scientists study scat, which is that it is a non-invasive way to learn about animal populations, diets, habitats, and space usage. The document then details characteristics to observe when identifying scat such as location, size, shape, and contents. It provides descriptions and comparisons to familiar objects for the scat of common mammals such as deer, elk, moose, beaver, chipmunk, squirrel, rabbit, porcupine, fox, coyote, wolf, bear, bobcat, cougar, raccoon, and skunk. Diets and resulting scat morphology are also described.
In our garden
The Pacific Baza is a medium-sized hawk found in tropical and subtropical forests in northern and eastern Australia. It has a prominent crest and paddle-shaped wings. Its preferred prey includes large insects like stick insects, mantids, and frogs. It hunts through forest canopies and makes short dives to catch prey in foliage or mid-air. From September to March it breeds, making aerial displays before building nests and laying 2-3 eggs, which both parents incubate for about 33 days.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
