Download or read book Raising a Savannah Monitor Lizard written by Carl Juan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native to the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, the Savannah Monitor Lizard (Varanus exanthematicus) is one of the monitor lizard species found there. In some parts of the world, people keep these lizards as exotic pets due to their unique appearance. Key features and facts about the Savannah Monitor Lizard are as follows. 1. Although they can get much bigger in captivity, Savannah Monitor Lizards are on the smaller side of monitor lizards, with an average length of around 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters). 2. They are able to blend into their natural environment because to their rough, scaly skin that has a brown to grayish background hue and dark, irregular markings. They have sturdy frames and powerful limbs equipped with sharp claws. 3. As the name suggests, these animals' natural habitat is the dry grasslands and open woods of Africa's savannas. They often dig underground burrows to avoid being discovered by predators or extremely cold weather. 4. Savannah Monitors, like most other carnivorous reptiles, eat a wide variety of animals, including insects, small mammals, birds, and even other reptiles and amphibians. 5. In captivity, these lizards are recognized for having a laid-back and inquisitive demeanor. They are largely terrestrial in the wild, though they can also climb and swim. 6. Savannah monitors lay eggs as part of their reproductive process. Eggs are laid by females in burrows or other secret places, and after a time of incubation, the young emerge. 7. The Savannah Monitor Lizard is not in risk of extinction and is not particularly rare in its native habitat. Although some people find Savannah Monitors fascinating and decide to keep them as pets, it's important to remember that these lizards have specific dietary and environmental needs. Because of their potential longevity, prospective owners should be prepared for a long-term commitment. It is crucial to check the laws and criteria of your area before deciding to bring a Savannah Monitor Lizard into your home as a pet.

To clarify these provoking questions, the author takes the reader on an ambitious and entertaining journey through a variety of scientific disciplines. In doing so, he creates an image of human evolution that argues that our entire individual knowledge is determined - to the smallest detail - by phylogeny. A provoking and controversial analysis of the theory of our inability to learn something new and of the extent to which our behavior is determined by our genes.

Download or read book The Symbolic Species The Co evolution of Language and the Brain written by Terrence W. Deacon and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1998-04-17 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A work of enormous breadth, likely to pleasantly surprise both general readers and experts."—New York Times Book Review This revolutionary book provides fresh answers to long-standing questions of human origins and consciousness. Drawing on his breakthrough research in comparative neuroscience, Terrence Deacon offers a wealth of insights into the significance of symbolic thinking: from the co-evolutionary exchange between language and brains over two million years of hominid evolution to the ethical repercussions that followed man's newfound access to other people's thoughts and emotions. Informing these insights is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes underlie the brain's development and function as well as its evolution. In contrast to much contemporary neuroscience that treats the brain as no more or less than a computer, Deacon provides a new clarity of vision into the mechanism of mind. It injects a renewed sense of adventure into the experience of being human.

Download or read book Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture written by Henry Jenkins and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many teens today who use the Internet are actively involved in participatory cultures—joining online communities (Facebook, message boards, game clans), producing creative work in new forms (digital sampling, modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction), working in teams to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (as in Wikipedia), and shaping the flow of media (as in blogging or podcasting). A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these activities, including opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, development of skills useful in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Some argue that young people pick up these key skills and competencies on their own by interacting with popular culture; but the problems of unequal access, lack of media transparency, and the breakdown of traditional forms of socialization and professional training suggest a role for policy and pedagogical intervention. This report aims to shift the conversation about the "digital divide" from questions about access to technology to questions about access to opportunities for involvement in participatory culture and how to provide all young people with the chance to develop the cultural competencies and social skills needed. Fostering these skills, the authors argue, requires a systemic approach to media education; schools, afterschool programs, and parents all have distinctive roles to play. The John D. and Catherine T.
