Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III PENGUINS AND THEIR WAYS UNCROWNED KINGS AND EMPERORS INNOCENT ARMIES SURF MISSED IN A BASIN DARWIN AND THE PENGUIN HARANGUING THE PENGUINNERY. A1ONGST the strangest and, as Buffon calls them, the most unbirdlike-looking of all birds, are the penguins?an aquatic family, numbering many species, whose headquarters are the wide waters of the southern seas, as far as to the remotest parts that have yet been explored. Wherever, indeed, the land that lies around the southern pole has a coastline, it is probable that penguins lay their eggs and rear their young; and the best hope for their continuing to do so is that some parts of this area may be too remote, or have too rigorous a climate to admit of its being often visited by mankind. Wherever sailors go, these poor birds, besides being plundered of their eggs, are destroyed in thousands, so that if every one of their breeding-haunts were to be visited each year, they would before long become extinct. On some islands, indeed, they are protected, but a modicum of protection accorded to a bird is not of much avail as against a vast amount of slaughter. Independently of what it may suffer in unequal warfare with the greed and brutality of man, every species bas to hold its own in thegeneral struggle for life, and when reduced to very small numbers, it may be unable to do so. The Falkland Islands, which lie far down off the western coast of South America, were once amongst the most popular breeding- resorts for various species of penguins, but now, says Professor Newton, owing doubtless to the ravages of man, whose advent is always accompanied by massacre and devastation on an enormous scale, it does not nearly approach to what it is in other places?the habit of the helpless birds, when breeding, to congregate b...

Download or read book How to Love Animals written by Henry Mance and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal journey into our evolving relationships with animals, and a thought-provoking look at how those bonds are being challenged and reformed across disciplines We love animals, but does that make the animals' lives any happier? With factory farms, climate change and deforestation, this might be the worst time in history to be an animal. If we took animals' experiences seriously, how could we eat, think and live differently? How to Love Animals is a lively and important portrait of our evolving relationship with animals, and how we can share our planet fairly. Mance works in a slaughterhouse and on a pig farm to explore the reality of eating meat and dairy. He explores our dilemmas over hunting wild animals, over-fishing the seas, visiting zoos and saving wild spaces. What might happen if we extended the love we show to our pets to other sentient beings? In an age of extinction and pandemics, our relationship with animals has become unsustainable. Mance argues that there has never been a better time to become vegetarian or vegan, and that the conservation movement can flourish, if people in wealthy countries shrink their footprint. Mance seeks answers from chefs, farmers, activists, philosophers, politicians and tech visionaries who are redefining how we think about animals. Inspired by the author's young daughters, his book is a story of discovery and hope that outlines how we can find a balance with animals that fits with our basic love for them.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: BIRDS' EYES. is a curious fact that the eyes of birds are very large in proportion to the size of the head and brain. This is not generally apparent in the living bird, because much of the eyeball is concealed by the skin and feathers. But when the skin is removed the eyes are seen to be enormous. There is always a good reason for every structure, and we shall presently see why the organs of sight are so enormous in proportion to the brain. The fact is, that the eye of a bird has to perform far more complicated tasks than fall to the lot of human eyes. In the first place, the bird is a winged creature, passing much of its time in the air, and flying with a speed which it is difficult to realise. Take, for example, one of the short-winged birds, such as the common sparrow, and note the rapidity of flight with which it darts past a window. If we take one of the long-winged birds, such as the swift or the kite, wemust multiply the swiftness exceedingly. It is therefore evident that if the eyes were short-sighted, the bird would be always in danger of striking itself against branches of trees and similar objects, and so killing itself. When telegraphic wires were first put up, numbers of birds were found lying dead beneath them, and were supposed by those who did not understand electricity to have been struck dead by an electric message which passed through their bodies while they were perching on the wires. The fact is, that they were killed by striking the wires, and not by electricity, which could not pass through the body of a perching- bird. One day, when I was in Paris, I saw a heedless sparrow fly against an overhead wire and fall to the ground in two pieces, the head having been severed as neatly as with a knife. It is worth noticing that, at the present da...

Download or read book Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid written by Thor Hanson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *A New York Times Editor's Choice pick *Shortlisted for the 2022 Pacific Northwest Book Awards A beloved natural historian explores how climate change is driving evolution In Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid, biologist Thor Hanson tells the remarkable story of how plants and animals are responding to climate change: adjusting, evolving, and sometimes dying out. Anole lizards have grown larger toe pads, to grip more tightly in frequent hurricanes. Warm waters cause the development of Humboldt squid to alter so dramatically that fishermen mistake them for different species. Brown pelicans move north, and long-spined sea urchins south, to find cooler homes. And when coral reefs sicken, they leave no territory worth fighting for, so aggressive butterfly fish transform instantly into pacifists. A story of hope, resilience, and risk, Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid is natural history for readers of Bernd Heinrich, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and David Haskell. It is also a reminder of how unpredictable climate change is as it interacts with the messy lattice of life.
