    Nice blog! I think your layout design is really eye-catching. I also really like the use of photos and the fact that there is at least one for each category.

    Great blog! These are such cute wolves that are being pushed to higher elevations and are running out of habitats to turn to (elevator effect). It is also sad that humans are the second major factor in endangering this species. Overall, great explanation of the recovery plan.

    Your layout and headings are so clear and concise! It's sad to see the elevator effect harming other wolves. The recovery map is so neat, and clear!

    Good use of graphics to help add that extra information to the reader. That sucks that its due to global warming, which is a hard problem to solve currently.

    So sad that habitat loss is keeping them at low levels of genetic diversity and that they have trouble getting food because of this too. -Erin Ichimura

    What a dope blog! I love your headers and unique style of post. I find it crazy that these wolves are only able to live at such a high climate! Hopefully conservationist will be able to have locals control domestic animals more that are reducing the population of the wolf.

Loggerhead Sea Turtle // Emily Holloway

Caretta carretta The Loggerhead Turtle By: Emily Holloway Description and Ecology Loggerhead turtles get their name from their exceptionally  large heads that contain powerful jaw muscles used to crush hard-shelled prey such as sea urchins and clams. They are the most common sea turtle species  in the Mediterranean and in U.S. waters, but can be found in numerous areas of the ocean around the world. L oggerheads are primarily carnivorous feeding mainly on shellfish that live on the bottom of the ocean. They eat clams, mussels, horseshoe crabs, and other invertebrates along with some fish and jellyfish.  Their front flippers are short and thick with 2 claws and the rear flippers can have 2-3 claws. This sea turtle species is the largest of all hard-shelled turtles with a reddish-brown coloring on their heart-shaped carapace and dorsal scales of the head and fins. These scales are lined with light to medium yellow margin...

Mexican Grey Wolf || Abigail Gnewuch

Canis lupus baileyi The Mexican Grey Wolf Description and Ecology of Organism The Mexican Wolf is an endangered species, and is a subspecies of the Grey Wolf. These wolves are primarily grey, with tufts of light brown fur on their back; yet there are many with a more diverse arrangement of colors. They are quick and agile predators and fast runners, which they owe to their sleek body and long legs. The wolf normally reaches a weight of 60-80 pounds, a height of 26-32 inches, and a length of 4.5-5.5 feet. The males tend to be the larger sex. The life span of a typical Mexican Wolf is 15 years.  Their mating season occurs in the Winter from mid February to mid March, and they have a gestation period of approximately 63 days. A typical litter will produce 4-7 pups. These pups are born blind and defenseless, and are therefore highly dependent on their mothers. The pack will care for the pups for around 10 months, until they have matured. The Mexican Wolf ori...

Equus Ferus Przewalski- Steel Humphry

Przewalski's Horse Equus Ferus Przewalski By Steel Humphry Equus Ferus Przewalski Stallion in  Khustain Nuruu National Park, Mongolia Taken by Paul Jones Characteristics Thought to be a undomesticated descendent from the horses of the ancient Botai, the Equus Ferus Przewalski, better known as Przewalski's Horse, is one of the last "wild" horse breeds. Contrary to popular belief, recent genetic studies indicate that the Przewalski's Horse is not an ancestor to the modern domesticated horses, equus caballus. The Przewalski's Horse has some major differences from the domesticated horse breeds. Aside from differing visual characteristics, the Przewalski's Horse has 66 chromosomes, while the domesticated horse only has 64. However, the offspring of the domesticated horses and the Przewalski's Horse is still fertile and contains 65 chromosomes. The Przewalski's Horse originated from the eastern Eurasian Steppes and had a range from the ...
