Polar bears are  endangered because of ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change. Polar bears are the first species to become endangered because of global warming. ]]> 2017-10-28 16:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/201423781 lupomic0001 https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/201497441 This is a picture of Kinder Morgan here in Justice IL. This company owns 84,000 miles of pipelines that transport natural gas, gas, crude oil , carbon dioxide and more.

This shows both air and noise pollution. Air pollution can cause a variety of lung diseases and other respiratory problems. Along with harming human health, air pollution can cause a variety of environmental effects. Noise pollution is harmful for both animals and humans. Noise pollution affects both health and behavior. Unwanted sound (noise) can damage psychological health.  ]]> 2017-10-30 12:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/201686100 lupomic0001 https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/201768726 This is a picture of me next to a nest in a tree.

An example of this is with a squirrel and a tree. The squirrel benefits because they get shelter and protection from predators since they live in the tree and the tree is neither harmed nor helped. ]]> 2017-10-30 15:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/201770939 lupomic0001 https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/201775203 A herbivore is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants.

A fruit decomposes because bacteria, fungi, and other micro organisms invade the fruit and secrete enzymes that cause rotting, which is what happened to this tomato. The tomato is all shriveled up, mushy, and leaking of liquids. The fruit is also discolored. ]]> 2017-10-31 21:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/202334338 lupomic0001 https://padlet.com/lupomic0001/4spkpbiovoue/wish/202335428 A niche is an animals role in society.
