Elephants, lions, giraffes, rhino & many other threatened species continue to be killed for ‘sport’. Join the London #MarchAgainstExtinction on April 13 to tell the govt. to ban the import of hunting trophies NOW! https://t.co/T4cu3HcXSp
Human-wildlife conflict is a serious issue. But letting a handful of rich idiots with guns kill #elephants for fun is the least intelligent solution imaginable and will no doubt seriously damage the #Botswana tourism industry. @OfficialMasisi
For many tourists, riding an elephant is a dream come true – but the reality behind the scenes is horrific. PLEASE SIGN our petition to end cruelty to #elephants in the tourism industry! https://t.co/i7KtaJfuz8
The Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra is the last place on earth where elephants, orangutans, rhinos and tigers roam in the same forest – but sadly probably not for much longer unless consumers stop buying illegally produced palm oil https://t.co/NLTMWURO3r
Palm oil is ruining the precious Leuser Ecosystem and we can fix this by limiting the consumption/ usage of the palm oil products so then they will be manufactured less!! #startwith1thing#SaveLeuserEcosystem
This #SciArt piece comes with a lesson on #BatesianMimicry. On top is a harmless imitator salamander. When it occurs alone, it is mottled brown. The bottom images show how this same species copies the warning colors of poisonous Plethodon species where they co-occur.
Is there even the slightest difference in sound between the toxic moths sound and the moths that mimic its sound so the bats can figure it out? @GorongosaPark
Two ways ultrasound production can help moths avoid being eaten by bats are they block the sound waves that the bats use and they trick the bats into thinking that the moths are not edible/ something that are not desired.
The size of beaks in finches are one thing that differs between each species of finches. For example beaks that eat plants are smaller than the beans that need to dig worms in the dirt.
For my #youcanmakeadifference project I focused on the Australian fires, plastic straws, and pollution. These 3 things are overall anthropogenic and we can make the change. If everyone tries a little harder to help this Earth, these problems wont occur.
#vegetativeprpagation is when you cut off a stem or root (prefferably when buds are present) and then plant it in the ground. Eventually, you will get an identical copy (this is similar to budding).
Yeast goes through a process asexually called budding. This is where a part of the organism grows off the organism and then eventually becomes its own identical copy. #budding
In animal cloning needs 3 parents to produce an embryo (2 help make the embryo and the other is where you put the embryo). In plant cloning you only have 1 parent to produce the embryo. You take plant cells and let it become an embryo. After you put it in the ground. #cloning
