Animals aren’t actors, nor circus clowns to engage humans. Yet, there are no national standards for the welfare of circus animals, which leads to thousands of elephants, bears, apes, and other animals being forced to perform silly, difficult tricks under threat of physical punishment from whips and bullhooks. These living creatures are kept caged and carted across the country in cramped, stuffy semi-truck trailers, and frequently separated from others of the same species – all for the purpose of human...

The estuarine environment is an area where bodies of water and shoreline meet, where rivers join the ocean or other large masses of water (Barnes, R.S.K. & Green, J. 1972). The estuarine environment is very dynamic and presents many difficulties for survival, animals have found many ways to adapt and deal with the pressures. The combination of both flows of water creates what is known as brackish water, this is a mixture of salty and fresh water (‘The Dynamic Intertidal...

What do you get when two giraffes collide? A giraffic jam. The giraffe’s elongated shape and rather large body size causes it to have some unique aspects. Some of these aspects can be seen in some of their organ systems, such as the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. These exclusive aspects also make the giraffe very different in many ways when compared to the animals dissected in the laboratory. Because of this distinctiveness, there are always new and current studies being...

As human activities lead to rising greenhouse gas concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere, less incoming solar energy is released back into space, causing a net energy gain that increases global temperatures. Climate change will be an important driver of biodiversity loss into the foreseeable future. Habitat degradation, phenological shifts and ecosystem change are expected to result in an increasing number of species of conservation concern. The Arctic is warming at a rate three times greater than the global average and Arctic...

Every day, over 115 million animals are trapped in steel cages, waiting for a latex-gloved hand to reach in and whisk them away for another day of testing. These animals are used to test the safety of products intended for human use, improve our medicines, or investigate the effects of products or procedures. Using animals for these purposes is unethical and constitutes abuse. Even though successful animal research frequently benefits humans, the pain, suffering, and deaths of animals are not...

The process of diffusion is the exchange of nutrients and wastes between a cell and its environment. For instance, amoeba, a single-celled microorganism can get all the nutrients it needs and get rid of its wastes through diffusion. However, diffusion is more effective in specific distance, hence it limits the size that an individual cell can attain. This means that the larger the size of the animal, the less surface area for diffusion it has (OpenStax Biology, 2015). Larger animals...
