The fur of the mountain gorilla, often thicker and longer than that of other gorilla species, enables them to live in colder temperatures. Mountain gorillas are descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the start of the Oligocene epoch (34–24 million years ago). The fossil record provides evidence of the hominoid primates (apes) found in east Africa approximately 22–32 million years ago. The fossil record of the area where mountain gorillas live is particularly poor and so its evolutionary history is not clear. It was about 8.8 to 12 million years ago that the group of primates who were to evolve into gorillas split from their common ancestor with humans and chimps; this is when the Gorilla emerged.Mountain gorillas have been isolated from wastern lowland gorilla for approximately 10,000 years and these two taxa separated from their western counterparts approximately 1.2 to 3 million years ago.The genus was first referenced as Troglodytes in 1847, but renamed to Gorilla in 1852.

The padlet i chose was Brianna in her padlet i learned that she is a freshamn in college and she is also cuban- argentinian. She also loves baseball, photography, and film with the love of these things she has a passion on becoming a photographer for a baseball team. Brianna chose the pacific angel shark as her species this species is one of 23 angel sharks noted for their falttened appearence that makes them resemble skates or rays. Angel sharks are found in tropical and warm tempature oceans on the continetal shelves worldwide, where they consume fish and bottom-dwelling intervtebrates. Briana padlet is very informative and i learned alot of different things about the shark i didnt even know about, she did a good job explaining and describing this species ecosystem and how they live. I chose this padlet because it seemed very interesting to read and very informative to learn about sharks.

The species I chose was the mountain gorilla the reason I chose this species was because this isn't an animal we see all the time. There isn't many people who know much about it and I wanted to inform people about i, i didnt even really know much about it so this taught me alot

Mountain gorillas are rainforest-dwelling species and get most of their water requirements from the plants they consume. However, increasing temperatures will make them more reliant on free-standing water, such as a stream, river, puddle, or swamp. Because mountain gorillas live at higher elevations, they are also more susceptible to faster temperature rises. Gorillas drinking this water may be affected by more parasite and human disease exposure and since they are limited habitat species not all of them have access to water.

One of the things from this video that really caught my attention is that a butterfly is one of the 800,000 species that transition to an adult from complete metamorphosis.

One thing that caught my attention in the video was positive feedback which is an essential force in the buildup of ecosystems. Positive feedback doesn't mean that it's beneficial the reason it's positive is that it amplifies a particular effect or change from previous conditions, there can also be negative feedbacks which diminishes changes in an ecosystem.

Mountain Gorillas live in the forest in very high mountains that are almost 8,000 to 13,000 feet, these gorillas are mostly found in the Virunga Mountains, a range of extinct volcanoes that border the democratic republic of congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. The rest of these gorillas can also be found in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The really thick fur that Mountain Gorillas have helps them survive in a habitat where the temperature is usually below freezing. So many humans have been moving into the territory of the mountain gorillas so this forces them to move further into the mountains for a lot longer periods, forcing them to endure dangerous and sometimes deadly conditions. The areas that gorillas used are now lands for agriculture and livestock. Even land within protected areas is not safe from clearing for example illegal settlers cleared 3,700 acres of gorilla forest in Virguna National Park so which makes it harder for gorillas to have a home.

The video I chose is "When is a pandemic over?" the part that caught my attention was the coordinate and crush, this is a way to end the virus, the correct way to do this is by social distancing and staying home, everyone should work together and coordinate by just keeping away from each other and keeping that distance. With this strategy, the virus can be crushed in a couple of months and I feel like if everyone was able to work together and be on the same page we can all crush the virus. Doing the pandemic the correct way will help us all end this nightmare and finally return to our everyday lives. Not only will we go back to normal now people will be more aware of any type of virus and start protecting themselves, but the only way for this to happen is by working as one to put an end to this.

This great ape is one of two subspecies of the eastern gorilla and one of the world's largest living primates. These apes have muscular arms, a massive chest, and broad hands and feet — and they have longer hair and shorter arms than their lowland cousins. Their thick black hair helps insulate them from cold weather.

CER is a great way to develop a conclusion to a scientific investigation but not only for scientific investigations this can also be applied in our daily lives, but there are also many days when we become curious about many things and we just start asking questions in order to answer our questions we can use CER to help. Once the investigation is complete the conclusion will include a claim, evidence, and reasoning. The claim will answer the original question and help focus a lot on the primary investigation, the evidence will support the claim we have to make sure to gather any evidence to help support the claim, and the reasoning will show how and why this evidence supports the claim. A claim without evidence that supports is impossible this will prove why your claim is reasonable and help your claim make sense and have a successful scientific investigation.

My name is Shirley Bodden and I was born and raised in Miami, FL since a child I've always loved Miami and I don't think i'll ever move away because the environment is very nice to me. Growing up I lived in North Miami so I attended Turner Tech Senior high school, I graduated in 2020 and attended Miami Dade college. My home campus is the North Campus but since I've been doing online classes because of work I've been trying every campus, So far the campus I've attended virtually are Kendall, Homestead, Hialeah, and J. Padron. College has shaped me a lot and allowed me to see different things in my future, when I first started it was hard for me to even know what I wanted in my future but now I have an idea. My main goal for my future is to be successful, I want to graduate college with a bachelor's in psychology and get a good job, I also want to continue to grow my nail business and be a business woman. I am a very hard working person so I want to make sure all my dreams can come true
