The Lemuroid that we believe to be the oldest is the ringed tailed Lemur. We believe that the ring tailed lemur originated in the tropical rainforests of Madagascar. This is believed because Madagascar is the only place in the world were the lemur is found and as the continents drifted, Madagascar was the only place that these primate could have stayed adapted to. The pelvis feature of the lemur is narrow and long, which is quite similar in most primates in all grades excluding the human. The ring tailed lemur is able to stand on its two feel however, not for long.
Some of these actions were unregulated hunting and government-sponsored poisoning. The only place you could find a Gray Wolf in the 1960s was small pockets in Minnesota and a few areas in Michigan.

In the 1970’s, the Green Revolution was started and the endangered species list “ESL” was founded.

2009). This program would now be called Save the Tasmanian Devil Program (ibid.). The main aim of this program is “to maintain the Tasmanian Devil as an ecologically functional species in the wild” (AUSVET 2005), where research and conservation would be done in order to help to eliminate the apparent decrease of the species (IUCN, 2008). In regard to this project program, four management methods have been taken to protect the Tasmanian devil (ibid.). Firstly, insurance of Tasmanian devil population and breeding program are employed (ibid.).

Savannas have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). The tropical savanna is generally found in regions dominated by the wet-dry tropical climate such as Australia, and Africa. An extensive cover of tall grasses, sometimes reaching a height of 3 meters, is found in the tropical savanna. Most savanna grass is coarse and grows in tufts with intervening patches of bare ground.
May 5, 2013 Dear El Paso Times Newspaper Editor, I am writing this letter to you today, as a way of informing you of how the Bridger Teton National Forest natural resources must be conserved. The Bridger Teton National Forest is located in Western Wyoming, United States. The forest consists of 3.4 million acres, which that makes the forest the second largest National Forest outside of Alaska. This forest has remained virtually untouched by humans and is the largest continuance piece of pubic land in the lower 48 states. Many people us the area for many different outside recreational activities within its borders like fishing, mining, hunting and logging like camping.
