With most of the wolf populations residing in Northeastern Minnesota, some wolf packs have been venturing into central Minnesota and Wisconsin. These areas are considered prime dairy land and hold more expensive and larger amounts of cattle. The DNR has classified Minnesota into two zones of protection: Zone A and Zone B (United). Zone A is the northern third part of the state, which is considered the wolves’ zone. This zone is filled with more state parks and undesired farm land.
The animals in the alpine biome are usually the warm blooded animals which accumulate layers of fat to insulate their bodies. The insects and some, very few cold blooded animals are usually hibernating or living under ground (Global Environment). This area has animals such as alpaca, mountain goats, chinchillas, condors, various insects, wolves, and arctic fox. Alpine biomes occupy high-mountain summits, ridges, and slopes above timberline. Because the alpine zone is present only on mountains, much of the landscape is rugged and broken, with rocky, snowcapped peaks, cliffs, and talus slopes, but also contains areas of gently rolling to almost flat topography (Biomes of the World).
Whitetail Deer Whitetail deer are an amazing species of animal that have very high senses such as sight, hearing, and even smell. They like to eat grass, corn, oats, and apples. Females carry their fawns for up to nine months, males mark their territory with their antlers and scent to tell everyone else they are there, they have special adaptations to help them stay hidden, and they have a very specific hunting season. The female deer also called a doe mates with a males also called a buck when she is in heat. After the buck impregnates the doe she will carry the fawn for six to nine months.
Following in the trend of the Forestry Commission, the Agricultural College established a Forestry program in order to educate, research, and train. With increased management of Michigan’s forest population, its vegetation changed dramatically, transforming from cutover and burned-over abandoned land to a vibrant, healthy, growing forest. In the 1930’s, Michigan’s economy was suffering and work was provided by the Civilian Conservation Corps. for young men to replant nearly half a billion trees to Michigan’s natural land. The increased amount of growth provided an opportunity for species to flourish in their returned habitats.
The Impression of Cave Paintings I choose to draw a male deer with antlers because it something that is associated with nature. I feel that many people know what deer are and know that they have existed for many years. A deer means a lot to me. I have grown up in the outdoors and have spent a lot of time with friends and family hunting deer. To me it’s a past time, an adrenalin rush, as well as a way to put extra food on the table.
The lake is about 20 miles long and 8 miles wide. Lake levels and size vary because of heavy agricultural use, and in years of drought. The border of Utah and Idaho goes right across the center of the lake. The lake is 250,000 years old and is formed by Fault Subsidence, which continues today making the lake deeper on the East side.

The Arctic wolves are the prey of the Grey wolf and coyotes. The Artic Wolf’s behaviour is very headstrong and bold. They can endure the Arctic weather conditions with the help of their deeply insulated pale white fur. They are capable of surviving for years in sub-zero temperatures and for five months, each year, they live in pitch darkness. Arctic Wolves travel in approximately 20 wolves per pack and each pack deliberately tries to avoid other packs.
A temperate forest experience all four season although climate is moderate in comparison to tundra and taiga forests. Temperatures of these temperate forests are normally in between -22°Fahrenheit and 86°Fahrenheit, with a yearly average of about 50°Fahrenheit. The summers are hot and wet and the winters are freezing due to the location of these forests. Due to the higher latitudes the occurrences of freezing temperatures are common, which requires life of plants and animals to develop adaptive characteristics. The forest is filled with wild habitat such as reptiles, animals, insects and trees.
Snow Leopards The snow leopard is its originally name but scientifically it goes by Uncia Uncia. Most snow leopards are found in Tundra habitat and they diet on heavily footed animals. Unfortunately Snow Leopards are endangered species and there is only 4500-7500 left. There are several interesting facts about snow leopards. The tail on every snow leopard is more than a yard long, and they do not roar like another other big cat.
In the real world, the larger something is, the more people tend to notice it. For example, the Rocky Mountains are more widely known than the smaller Cascade mountain range in California. This is because people notice things that stand out in society. Much like Pollan’s lawn in the suburban community. One whole paragraph is dedicated to the purpose of explaining how the rugged green “river” flowed from his front porch step all the way through the other side of the country (Pollan l. 29).
