Dodo

The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter (3 feet) tall, weighing about 20 kilograms (44 lb), living on fruit, and nesting on the ground.

The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century.It is commonly used as the archetype of an extinct species because its extinction occurred during recorded human history and was directly attributable to human activity.

The phrase "dead as a dodo" means undoubtedly and unquestionably dead, whilst the phrase "to go the way of the dodo" means to become extinct or obsolete, to fall out of common usage or practice, or to become a thing of the past.

As with many animals that have evolved in isolation from significant predators, the dodo was entirely fearless of people, and this, in combination with its flightlessness, made it easy prey for humans.However, journals are full of reports regarding the bad taste and tough meat of the dodo, while other local species such as the Red Rail were praised for their taste. When humans first arrived on Mauritius, they also brought with them other animals that had not existed on the island before, including dogs, pigs, cats, rats, and Crab-eating Macaques, which plundered the dodo nests, while humans destroyed the forests where the birds made their homes;currently, the impact these animals—especially the pigs and macaques—had on the dodo population is considered to have been more severe than that of hunting. The 2005 expedition's finds are apparently of animals killed by a flash flood; such mass mortalities would have further jeopardized a species already in danger of becoming extinct.

Although there are scattered reports of mass killings of dodos for provisioning of ships, archaeological investigations have hitherto found scant evidence of human predation on these birds. Some bones of at least two dodos were found in caves at Baie du Cap which were used as shelters by fugitive slaves and convicts in the 17th century, but due to their isolation in high, broken terrain, were not easily accessible to dodos naturally.

There is some controversy surrounding the extinction date of the dodo. Roberts & Solow state that "the extinction of the Dodo is commonly dated to the last confirmed sighting in 1662, reported by shipwrecked mariner Volkert Evertsz" (Evertszoon), but many other sources suggest the more conjectural date of 1681. Roberts & Solow point out that because the sighting prior to 1662 was in 1638, the dodo was likely already very rare by the 1660s, and thus a disputed report from 1674 cannot be dismissed out-of-hand.Statistical analysis of the hunting records of Isaac Johannes Lamotius give a new estimated extinction date of 1693, with a 95% confidence interval of 1688 to 1715. Considering more circumstantial evidence such as travelers' reports and the lack of good reports after 1689,it is likely that the dodo became extinct before 1700; the last Dodo died a little more than a century after the species' discovery in 1581.

Few took particular notice of the extinct bird. By the early 19th century it seemed altogether too strange a creature, and was believed by many to be a myth. With the discovery of the first batch of dodo bones in the Mauritian swamp, the Mare aux Songes, and the reports written about them by George Clarke, government schoolmaster at Mahébourg, from 1865 on,interest in the bird was rekindled. In the same year in which Clarke started to publish his reports, the newly vindicated bird was featured as a character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. With the popularity of the book, the dodo became a well-known and easily recognizable icon of extinction.

Mammoth

A mammoth is any species of the extinct genus Mammuthus. These proboscideans are members of Elephantidae, the family of elephants and mammoths, and close relatives of modern elephants. They were often equipped with long curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They lived from the Pliocene epoch from around 4.8 million to 4,500 years ago.The word mammoth comes from the Russian мамонт mamont, probably in turn from the Vogul (Mansi) language, mang ont, meaning "earth horn".

The woolly mammoth was the last species of the genus. Most populations of the woolly mammoth in North America and Eurasia, as well all the Columbian mammoths in North America, died out around the time of the last glacial retreat, as part of a mass extinction of megafauna in northern Eurasia and the Americas. Until recently, it was generally assumed that the last woolly mammoths vanished from Europe and southern Siberia about 10,000 BC, but new findings show that some were still present there about 8,000 BC. Only slightly later, the woolly mammoths also disappeared from continental northern Siberia.A small population survived on St. Paul Island, Alaska, up until 3,750 BC,and the small mammoths of Wrangel Island survived until 1,650 BC.

A definitive explanation for their mass extinction is yet to be agreed upon. The warming trend (Holocene) that occurred 12,000 years ago, accompanied by a glacial retreat and rising sea levels, has been suggested as a contributing factor. Forests replaced open woodlands and grasslands across the continent. The available habitat may have been reduced for some megafaunal species, such as the mammoth. However, such climate changes were nothing new; numerous very similar warming episodes had occurred previously within the ice age of the last several million years without producing comparable megafaunal extinctions, so climate alone is unlikely to have played a decisive role.The spread of advanced human hunters through northern Eurasia and the Americas around the time of the extinctions was a new development, and thus probably contributed significantly.

Whether the general mammoth population died out for climatic reasons or due to overhunting by humans is controversial. Another theory suggests that mammoths may have fallen victim to an infectious disease. A combination of climate change and hunting by humans has been suggested as the most likely explanation for their extinction.

Data derived from studies done on living elephants suggests human hunting was likely a strong contributing factor in the mammoth's final extinction[citation needed]. Homo erectus is known to have consumed mammoth meat as early as 1.8 million years ago.

However, the American Institute of Biological Sciences also notes that bones of dead elephants, left on the ground and subsequently trampled by other elephants, tend to bear marks resembling butchery marks, which have previously been misinterpreted as such by archaeologists[citation needed].

The survival of the dwarf mammoths on Russia's Wrangel Island was due to the island's very remote location and lack of inhabitants in the early Holocene period[citation needed]. The European discovery of the island (by American whalers) did not occur until the 1820s[citation needed]. A similar dwarfing occurred with the Pygmy Mammoth on the outer Channel Islands of California, but at an earlier period. Those animals were very likely killed by early Paleo-Native Americans, and habitat loss caused by a rising sea level that split Santa Rosae into the outer Channel Islands[citation needed].

Recent research indicates that mammoths survived in the Americas until 10,000 years ago. This conclusion is from research, by James Haile and Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, of sediments found in central Alaska, and reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Jaekelopterus rhenaniae

Jaekelopterus rhenaniae ("Otto Jaekel's wing from the Rhineland") is an extinct species of the Eurypterida (sea scorpions). At an estimated length of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), it is one of the two largest arthropods ever discovered (the other is a giant millipede-like animal, Arthropleura, although which animal was larger is unclear, as well as the other eurypterid Pterygotus). It lived approximately 390 million years ago. Although called a "sea scorpion", it is speculated to have lived in fresh water rivers and lakes, and not in saltwater seas. The animal was described by Simon Braddy and Markus Poschmann of the University of Bristol in the journal Biology Letters (November 2007); they found a 46 cm chelicera (claw-like mouth part), and estimated the total size of the animal based on the proportions of this claw.

The animal's fossilized remains were discovered in the Early Devonian (Emsian) Klerf Formation Lagerstätte of Willwerath near Prüm, Germany.

Arthropleura

Arthropleura (Greek for "Rib Joint') was a 0.3–2.6 metre (1–8.5 feet) long relative of centipedes and millipedes, native to the Upper Carboniferous (340-280 million years ago) of what is now northeastern North America and Scotland. It is the largest known land invertebrate of all time, and would have had few predators.

What Arthropleura ate is a matter of debate among scientists, as none of the fossils have the mouth preserved. However, it is reasonably certain that it would have had a sharp and powerful set of jaws. Based on this assumption, it used to be thought that Arthropleura was carnivorous, but recently discovered fossils have been found with pollen in the gut, suggesting that the creature ate plants. It is possible that the smaller Arthropleura species were vegetarian, while the largest ones were omnivorous, using their jaws to tackle vegetation, as well as to hunt small animals and insects. It is estimated that the average Arthropleura could have eaten its way through a ton of vegetation a year.[citation needed]

Fossilized footprints from Arthropleura have been found in many places. These appear as long, parallel rows of small prints, which show that it moved quickly across the forest floor, swerving to avoid obstacles, such as trees and rocks. When moving at speed, its body would stretch and become longer, giving it a greater stride length and thus allowing it to move faster.[citation needed]

As it moved about, Arthropleura would have brushed against many different types of plant, and may have helped the forest reproduce by moving pollen or spores about the place. It is also thought that Arthropleura was capable of travelling under water, and that it may have returned to lakes and rivers in order to moult its shell. This would have made it vulnerable to attack by large fish and amphibians. On land an adult Arthropleura would have had few enemies.

Arthropleura evolved from crustacean-like ancestors in the Carboniferous, and was able to grow larger than modern arthropods, partly because of the high percentage of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere at that time, and because of the lack of large terrestrial vertebrate predators. Fossil tracks of an arthropod dating back to the Silurian are sometimes attributed to either Arthropleura, or a Silurian- to Early-Devonian millipede called Eoarthropleura. Arthropleura became extinct at the start of the Permian period, when the moist climate began drying out, destroying the rainforests of the Carboniferous, and allowing the desertification characteristic of the Permian. Because of this, oxygen levels in the atmosphere began to decline to more modest levels. None of the giant arthropods could survive the new dry, lower-oxygen climate. Its tracks have the ichnotaxon name Diplichnites cuithensis.

今天将会是我第一次交待我的感情事，说明我对爱情的看法。。

今天将会是我第一次交待我的感情事，说明我对爱情的看法。。
不管你是否认同，但今天我所说的句句是真的。。
或许你们会问为什么我会这么做。。
因为我总觉得有些事情总需要做个了结。。
我不想别人去猜这个，猜那个。。
我更不想让人误会。。
感情的事有时真的很烦。。
它有它甜蜜的时候，你可以因为它而整天开心到睡不着。。
但它也有它烦恼的时候，你也可以因为担心，因为她不回你的短讯而耿耿于怀。。
这些感觉我也有试过。。但我觉得现在应该不会吧！
我没有拍过拖，没试过谈恋爱。。
根本不知道拍拖到底是什么感觉？谈恋爱到底是什么感觉？
但我并不会因为这样而急着想去拍拖。。
我曾经很认真喜欢一个女生。。
她也是我第一个追求的女生。。
感觉上她蛮不错的，给我第一次的印象也不错。。
我还记得当我第一次遇到她的时候是在Bilik Pak那里。。
那时，她和她的朋友在那里聊天。。
而我记得她是我刚add进friendster的朋友，所以那时我很主动地跟她聊。。
我很想知道她会是怎样的一个人。。
她很友善，不会有心眼；虽然有点mcc,但整体上，她还算不错的。。
我觉得心在美比外在美更重要，但她两样都有。。
坦白来说，那天我本来是找人的，但或许是缘份，我认识了她。。
至于追求她的过程呢。。我不想说，可能我也已经忘记完了。。
其实，去年中时，我已经开始放弃的。。
因为我开始觉得我跟她不可能在一起了。。
我也开始觉得她并不是我要找的人。。
我要找的人是有和我相处的时间。。
但她没有。。她比我还忙。。
她曾经告诉我，她喜欢忙碌的生活。。
也许，这是她的个性吧。。
我尊重她做的每个决定。。
慢慢的。。我也把我的专注力全放在我的学业和运动。。
其实那时也有另一个男生在追求她。。
他比我还痴情。。
或许，他比我更适合她。。
当他们在一起时，我并不感到意外。。
因为那时我已经感觉到他们其实是互相喜欢对方的。。
所以，我不会感到伤心，而且还替他们开心。。
因为我知道两个人在一起真的很不简单，所以应该好好地珍惜在一起的时光。。
当我知道他们在一起时，我真心的祝福他们。。
后来呢。。我跟那女的还是好朋友。。
就是那种无所不谈的朋友，但我们多数是谈到学业。。
我对她只有友情，并没有其他的感觉。。
我蛮希望她的男朋友别再误会了。。
因为我并不是每次都能认受你的无理取闹。。
我明白你的感受，现在已经不怪你当初怎么对我。。
或许，你应该需要更长的时间去适应这样子的生活吧。。
我们需要的是理智的爱情，并不是盲目地去爱。。
我记得曾经有人问我，我的干妹妹是我要情人的目标吗?
我很肯定地告诉你们，我绝对没有这样想过。。
我只把她们像妹妹这样看待。。
她们就像我的亲人一样。。
如果她们有什么事，我肯定会帮助她们，保护她们，不让她们受到伤害。。
我承认我没有妹妹，而且很想有一个妹妹。。
但她们就像我亲生妹妹一样。。
对此，我已经觉得满足了。。
还有，最后一件事。。
其实到现在我依然不清楚我对她的感情。。
我喜欢她吗？
我并不知道，因为我不想知道。。
就算是喜欢，她会喜欢我这丑八怪吗？
就算是喜欢，我也不可能跟她在一起了。。
我根本没有时间，我连我的学业都搞不好，更何况是爱情呢？
她是个好女孩子，根本应该跟比我好几千倍，几万倍的男生在一起。。
我曾经告诉她，如果我遇到我喜欢的女生，我一定努力的追求；就算失败了，也不后悔。。
但我没有做到。。
可能她现在很恨我，觉得我很烦。。
我情愿她现在很讨厌我，不想见到我，当我是陌生人。。
或许这样我好过点，可以专心读书。。
所以，我现在的心里，学业是最重要的。。
虽然以后的路我不懂会是怎样的，但我会尽力而为的。。加油。。

今天继续昨天的题目，那位先生给我的反应。。你们又会觉得他是怎样的一个人？

昨天他总共传了三个短讯给我。。
果然不出我的所料，他刚开始的时候不承认。。
在我很肯定那个人是我之下，他终于承认了。。
以下是他传给我短讯的内容：
短讯1：Not Talking bout you la== (8.34pm)
短讯2：Wat u said is rite,u scold me with perfectly.. I dun even noe I almost make them break up..but my blog is not mentioning bout u. U will noe if u see my fb.. (10.00pm)
短讯3：我知道了。我承认里面的列子有你，但我主要是要讲那个时常送一些性骚扰的短讯给她的男生。对不起。虽然我不知道你在那天是否有意针对我，但你今天骂得一点没错，我自己本身的人格真的很有问题，而我却自以为是，对不起！ （10.40pm)

第一，我想说的是我做事从不针对人。。我分清楚什么是公什么是私。。还有，那天那个是游戏。。我每个人都有做弄，并不只是他。。他还没有那么伟大可以让我针对他。。他的女朋友还叫我弄到他更惨。。但我没有答应她这么做。。可是，从他今天写的部落格，我看到原来他是玩不起的人。。既然他玩不起了，那么干嘛还来学校参加？去陪她的女朋友读书啦！我说的是事实，并没有造假。。

第二，他所说的对不起是否有用。。如果是小事，或许有用。。但他说了伤害人的话，还指望别人原谅，你觉得有用吗？那么我很想问他一句，他伤害人的时候，有没有想到后果？有没有想到那人的感受？有没有想过自己是否有资格去批评别人？我觉得他完全没有想这些。。他做什么，讲什么都是为了他爽，为了要发泄。。他觉得最重要他会觉得舒服。。但他没有想到事情的严重性。。如果他真的弄到别人分手了，一句对不起可以补回他的过错吗？比如说当一个人杀了另一个人时，难道他说一句对不起的就不会坐牢？不会被判死刑吗？那么他还好意思去叫人原谅？如果再发生这件事情时，又怎样？我不敢保证他不会重复他的错。。

第三，他写爱情比读书重要根本不是他的思想。。他认为爱情是他读书的推动力之一。。但我所看到的并不是这些。。你们是否看到他时常跟着他的女朋友到处在学校走？现在，差不多每个老师知道他们的恋情，连Mr Teng,Ms Tan都知道。。初初他们不知道的，但看到那种‘盛景’后，他们知道了。。爱情可以与学业并存吗？爱情不会影响学业吗？我觉得其他人不会，但他会。。为什么？理由很简单，你有没有看到他对女朋友的态度，他对她的爱是不是过度了？他可以因为他的女朋友的态度而影响他读书的心情。。那么他的学业会进步吗？

最后，我真的累了。。我不想再跟他辩论什么。。因为他不是一个我值得尊重的人。。从他身上，我看不到他的好，但只看到他的无知。。他对事情看法的偏激。。他喜不喜欢我并不重要，我也不在意这些。。
够了。。就此停笔。。

刚刚看到一个没脑的人讲没脑的话

当初我还相信他是一个很不错的人。。
可惜，他是个没脑的人。。
说话没经过大脑，做事没经过大脑。。
不懂得尊敬别人，不懂得相信女友。。
已经有了女朋友，思想还是小孩子。。
女朋友是他的了，还在那边怀疑多多。。
今天给老师讲他像我，说真的，我有点生气。。
生气老师不应该讲这些。。
这些不是笑话，更不好笑。。
我跟他根本不一样，我会想，我很理智。。
我会觉得读书重要，读书大过爱情，爱情不等于一切。。
看到父母的辛苦，我更加不能令他们失望。。
我要努力地读书。。长大后，要赚钱养他们。。
我欠他们的我一辈子都还不完他们。。
所以我会很孝顺，他们讲什么我就做什么，没有反对多多。。
父母对我的好我会永远记得。。
当他们还在这世上，我会珍惜他们。。
因为我满足我现在有的一切。。
而他，觉得爱情大过一切，爱情重要过读书。。
没有了爱情，他不能活；没有了爱情，他等于失去一切。。
他可以为了女朋友而跟家人吵。。
那么你认为他是一个理智的人吗？
噢，不！
既然有了女朋友，就应该相信她，相信她身边的朋友。。
可是，他还每天都怀疑这个，怀疑那个。。
现在我才发觉到他很没品。。
贱男可以随便乱讲的吗？
他讲别人贱男的时候，他有证据证明那男的真的很坏吗？
难道追求过就不能做回朋友？
他就是不大方，心胸狭窄。。
他限制他的女朋友做这个，做那个。。
好像他的女朋友只属于他一个人。。他女朋友没有自己的思想。。
这样是一个好的男朋友对待女朋友的方式吗？
还有，他说他跟别人的女朋友聊聊吧了。。
但他并不知道他差点弄到那个女生跟她男朋友分手，还自己以为自己是英雄。。
他跟别人的女朋友聊可以，别人跟他的女朋友聊就不可以。。
我最看不惯，看不起这种人了。。
小事化大。。
一点点的事看不开，看到好像很大件事这样。。
他做得很过份！我忍他很久了！
可能他到现在还不知道自己的错。。
我觉得他还需要用镜子照照自己。。
我现在等看看他有什么回应。。
或许，他会死口不认他有错，还强词夺理。。
让我们看看他接下来会是怎样的一个人。。
