The Evolution Of The Striped Skunk
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. The Mephitis mephitis – also known as the striped skunk – shares a vast and colorful history with its other Mustelidae family members, all of which have historically been classified as weasels. This classification comes from the distinction of an absent upper fourth premolar carnassial notch and upper second molar, in addition to expanded scent glands. Interestingly, the evolution of these characteristics is suspected to be more a response to convergence rather than ancestral; in short, the skunk's evolution is thought to be derived from a blending of several traits instead of what existed in their ancient predecessors. As such, identifying the precise evolution of the striped skunk is not a cut-and-dried objective for scientists, inasmuch as it shares some characteristics with otters and badgers, as well.

The Indiana Bat
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. Like all other species on the endangered list, the Indiana bat is fighting for its very existence. Due to man's encroachment – sometimes accidental, oftentimes blatant and deliberate – this particular type of bat is struggling to uphold its precarious place upon the life chain. Perhaps it is the uniqueness of this species that has caused it to become endangered, or maybe it is because mankind still does not understand the consequential impact his actions have in a synergistic sense to the ecosystem as a whole. No matter the cause, the Indiana bat – who was placed upon the endangered species list in 1967 due to a population decrease of a full fifty percent since the 1930s – is being helped by the establishment of protective reserves and legal enforcement. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
