Extra Credit: Pandas
In this article "PANDAS" it is talking about how they are the bestknown animals in the world, but also the rarest. In 1990 there were just only 1,ooo giant pandas in the wild. To the zookeepers, scientists, and animal lovers the panda was mostly everyone's interest. Because the panda was so uniquely special, and popular it was chosen as the symbol of the (WWF)WORLD WILDLIFE FUND.
Pandas in the wild prefer to be cool and damp than to be in a hot, humid place where the weather is bad for the pandas. Way up in the SICHUAN mountains where there is midty forests that pandas like to live in. When it is the winter it becomes to cold for the pandas to say, so in order to keep warm. They go down to the lower slopes of the mountain. Pandas are known for being famous for eating bamboo. Luckily in those cold and damp forrests they don't have to hunt for their favorite food, because it's right next to them.
Giant Pandas are known for not being the most common animal in someplaces. And there are reasons for this. They do not produce many of babies,because they could only live in cold bamboo forests. Also to have a big area to have their siblings. Even plenty of their favorite bamboo to eat, but the problem is that bamboo plants spread the seeds that it has. Then after it grows, and the bamboo is all grown and has been eaten all up. The pandas would have to wait until the new plants grow from the seeds. So then the pandas die of starvation. Another reason they are so rare is, because the chinese people needs to have have more land for there farmss. So they cut down the bamboo forests where the Pandas live in. Also taking them from the wild,and hunting them down for their skins. Using Panda for people like to decorate the homes with it. And Japan people love pandas fur so much that they would pay (over $200,000) for a rug made out of Panda fur. Because it is that valuable to them. ASlso it is against the law to be hunting pandas. If the huntters are spotted trying to kill one. Then they would be imprisoned for life or sentednced to death. Even though hunting Pandas is against the law. They still amnage to get a few panda skins, because people pay them alot of money for it.
There might be some hunters out there, but there are thoughs who like saving animals than killing them. In China the chinese people and the ICGS(INTERNATIONAL CONVERSATION ORGANIZATIONS) decided they wanted to save the pandas. So they work really hard to protect them by setting up 13 special panda researves in CHINA, where 800 pandas are living peacefully and safe. The researves were also created, because they wanted to protect the bamboo forest. So that the farmers wouldn't take all of the other land away. So to keep a watch on the bamboo places armed guards patrol area from hunters, and people that are saving pandas wants local people around them to know whats happening because then the community could help, out with people who are trying to hurt pandas.
Now in the present vets, scientist, zookeppers ect.... are all helping out keep pandas from being endangerd, and protect the bamboo forests back and protect the bamboo forests back in CHINA , and guard where the
Nonfiction 2: Algal Blooms
In this article 14 huge humback whales washed up along the beaches of CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS,but people doesn't know why they just apparently died. It couldn't be of satarvation,because they are full of food. But luckily biologist examined all of the whales insides. When they finished examining them they finally figured out the cause of their deaths. The whales had contained a rare deadly toxin called( Alexandrium Tamarence). Biologist said that, because when the whales ate some of their normal food chain which is fish that had ALGAE in them. So the toxins in the fish from the ALGAE killed the harmless whales.
