10th blog recap

This is my 10th blog and it's sad because its my very last blog. In my last blog I started to recap the stuff I said in my previous blog and this blog I will continue to do that.
We are starting from my 5th blog.

fifth blog: On my 5th blog, I talked about the four animals that are going extinct in Ontario. In my opinion, it is very surprising to find out that the American bagger, bald eagle, eastern wolf and the gray fox are at risk. It's surprising because these are common animals that a person may see every day and they would not assume that they are at risk.

Six blog: In my six blogs I talked about the most common animals in the world a person would own in their home. It shocks me to find out that the fish is the number one animal a person would own in their home, In my opinion fish don't do anything they just swim around and eat, but I believe people choose to have fish as pets because they don't do anything and they aren't any work. The second most common animal is the cat in opinion its not surprising cause cats aren't any work like a dog and doesn't need to be taken out.

Seventh blog: In my 7th blog, I talked about the different charities that help endangered animal. In my opinion, these charities are really important because they help save the animals. The four charities that I have chosen is     

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)

Sea Shepard Conservation Society

Defenders of Wildlife

Panthera

Save the Manatee Club

these charities are important because they are all different charities that have different goals and different animals to save.
Eight blog: On my 8th blog, I talked about three different animals that people wouldn't think are endangered but are. The three animals where the Zebra, the alligator and the coral which isn't considered an animal but a species. I also pointed out one thing that makes these animals endangered,
 the zebra is endangered because of the zoo, the alligator because they are hunted for their skins and coral is endangered by scuba divers, because once the coral is touched by a human it dies.
I thank you so much for reading my blogs

 

 

9th blog recap

So this is my 9th blog, and it's very sad because it's my second last blog. In every of my other blog, this blog will be the same it will contain me talking about animals. Endangered animals, animals extinction or animals in general.

So in this blog, I'm just going to do a recap of everything that I talked about in my previous blogs

First blog: What is extinction everyone has a different opinion on extinction, but in my opinion extinction is when a species or organism is no longer in existing. This means that the species once existed, but can no longer be found. The species can only be seen in photos.

Second blog: my second blog talked about Animals that have come extinct. In my opinion the most famous animal that has gone extinct is the dodo. The dodo bird may have a weird name but scientist only called it the dodo bird because they thought he was dumb, because of his friendly approach, but I believe the dodo was a very smart bird because it knew how to survive. The dodo bird became extinct in 1662 when they presented other animals to the island and started hunting the dodo bird. The most tragic story of an extinct animal in my opinion were the atlas bear, it's a tragic story because in the 1800 the bear were captured and turned into gladiator bears. Where they had to fight to the death for amusement for the people.

Third blog: My third blog is on the polar bears and how we cause their extinction. The extinction of polar bears is very sad because it caused by us, by global warming and climate change and there is nothing we can do. Global warming and climate change has a affect on the polar bears because it melts the ice, so the polar bears are forced to stay on dry land or drowned in the ocean.

Fourth blog: My fourth blog talked about the different causes that cause animal extinction 

1-habitat destruction

2- over exploitation

3-pollution

These are three causes that we can change over time. In my opinion human can pick open places instead of animals homes to help the habitat destruction. Over exploitation can be stopped, by only hunting animals at a certain time of the year and pollution can be stopped but not flushing toxic product in the toilet. 

Endangered Species

In my last blog, I talked about the different charities that help different animals survive. Each charity is amazing because they have the same goal but help different species. In this blog, I'm going to talk about Extinct animals. These animals that I'm going to talk about animals, are animals that you would not assume are endangered.

The first animals is the Zebra the zebra was called a threatened animal in 1979. The zebra is a threatened animal for several reason habitat fragmentation and agricultural livestock organization. There is also another reason why the amount of Zebra has decreased over the years, it's because of the zoo. In my opinion the zoo doesn't take animals to save them, they take them to make money by taking animals such as zebras out of their habitat, that lowers their pollution and make their species endangered.

The second animals is the Alligator, the alligator mostly habitat in Florida and other hot places. The alligator was listed as a lower risked animals. They were at high risk but, after the law was changed and people were starting to get in trouble for hunting alligator for their meat and skin. In my opinion, by changing the law and helping the alligator,it really helped them to lower their risk of endangerment.

My third animals isn't even an animal it's a species,it coral. People don't think of coral as endangered but it is a threatened species that hold our whole ecosystems together. The coral reef has lost 80 to 90 percent of their population. The reason for why the coral reef population is decreasing it's because once the coral reef is touch it dies. In my opinion to save the coral reef is to not bring a scuba diver near any places containing coral reefs.

Their is so many endangered species all over the world that can be saved by one step

Different Charities That Help Animals

In my last blog, I talked about the most common animals, human have in their home. In this blog, I'm going to talk about the different charities that help to raise money to save the animals that are going extinct in the world.

There are 5 different charities that I am going to talk about that try and help endangered species

1. International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)
2. Sea Shepard Conservation Society
3. Defenders of Wildlife
4. Panthera
5. Save the Manatee Club

The International fund for animal welfare was founded in1969. In my opinion, this charity is the most amazing charity they help endangered animals and protecting a whole population (for examples: this charity helps save elephants from illegal killing and trading their ivory). The second charity is Sea Shepard Conservation Society established in 1977. This charity is amazing because they help animals that live in the sea. They go by the saying "if the oceans die, we die" I like this quote because they are true, we live on animals that live in the ocean and if the ocean dies we will lose one of our food sources. The third charity is the Defenders of Wildlife, this charity was established in 1947. This charity is one of my favorite because they don't just help animals they help endangered plant species to. This organisation helps all endangered animals and plant species in North America. The fourth organisation is Panthera, this organisation helps cats all over the world (they help tigers, jaguars, lions and snow leopards) this organisation is amazing because they are helped by Shania Twain and I think this is fanatics because having help from celebrities helps the organisation be bigger and helps more endangered animals around the world. The fifth organisation helps save the Manatee, it is called save the manatee club, it was established in 1981.

Popular Animals

Today I decided to change up my blog post, instead of talking about animals that have gone extinct, or animals that are endangered of going extinct. I'm going to talk about the most common/popular animals in the world that a human may own in their home.

•  142 million freshwater fish
• 88.3 million cats 
• 74.8 million dogs
• 16 million birds
• 24.3 million small animals
• 13.8 million horses
• 13.4 million reptiles

Numbers of animals families may contain in their homes.

These are statistics above are from the United-State of America, they show the most popular/common animals owned by humans or a household family. In my opinion Cat and Dog should be the most popular animals a family would own. I believe, families prefer bigger dog for a watch dog and to feel more protected in their home. People that have smaller dogs are people that bring their dog everyone, a person that owns a smaller dog is a person that live alone, or live in a small houses and have small backyard. As for, cats in my opinion people that own cat often live alone, they're lonely or lazy,  Cats are less work then dog that's why older people may have cats.  They don't need to be taken out like a dog. In my opinion the amount of people that own a cat is larger than the amount that own a dog because more people today are allergic to dogs than cats. Also, people work and often are too busy to take care of a dog, and cats are not any work. The number one animal families own, is the freshwater fish this came as a shock to me. I don't understand why the number one animal owned by humans are fish, all fish do is swim around in a bowl you can't play with them like a dog or pet them like cats.
