Since their reintroduction, the question of the presence of wolves in the American West has been the subject of an ongoing battle, a tug-of-war of between science and politics."]]> 2018-02-05 20:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/228356234 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/228356631 The wolves are an endangered species and killing them is not doing anything and people are still killing making them an even more endangered species. I still think the population should not be controlled because you're just killing animals that didn't do anything, and have no reason to die. People are debating wither or not to keep lowing down the population and they're on the verge of deciding to not kill the wolves anymore.]]> 2018-02-05 20:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/228356631 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231075003 Lately we have been doing some fun labs one was we were each bears and we had to gather enough food and water for ourselves to live. We also did a coral lab today (2/8/18). ]]> 2018-02-13 15:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231075003 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231075497 Animals are important's to our environment as we saw in the coral reef lab when we let the Red Lion fish be non-population controlled it ate all the coral and most of the fish died because they had no where to live. ]]> 2018-02-13 15:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231075497 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231075770 Also as we saw from a moose video flea was killing a whole moose, draining all of the blood from it. Making the moose a danger to humans making it a danger to the environment. When you hunt lets be honest you don't want a flea in your food when you eat a moose]]> 2018-02-13 15:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231075770 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231076683 Yes, we need animals because a lot of people rely on animals for food, fur, and some just beauty.
Lets talk about carrying capacity the environment can support bears and wolves as we learned today(2/13/18) So now do we have a purpose to keep wolves in Yellow Stone? The carrying capacity can only hold so many bears and so many wolves I think that the population of bears could probably be around 4-8 bears as we learned for the bear necessities(2/8/18) and the wolves population could probably be around 10-17 also learned from bear necessities (2/8/18) the reason bears are less than wolves is because wolves don't eat as much as bears do in this case. 

We're still on the topic of should animals population be controlled? Some should and some shouldn't for example as we could see the Red Lionfish should however the wolves population should not. ]]> 2018-02-13 15:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231076683 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231077207 As we saw from the video today(2/8/17) we learned about the python control group and they are doing a very bad job at controlling the fox and the rabbit population they controlling it too much as in eat too many. The python control group is doing a good job catching them but they need to hurry before all those small animals go extinct.]]> 2018-02-13 15:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231077207 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231077783 In the power point we looked at today(2/13/18) we asked some questions to Yellow Stone Park and we found out that the wolves help the bears by what they don't eat the bears clean up after them and eat the rest of the animal that they didn't eat. As we all know about prey and predator population the prey is lowering because the bears and the wolves both eat them but they are saving some by bears eating after the wolves. There isn't any competition between the wolves and the bears they're either sharing or they aren't but they aren't fighting over food that we know of. ]]> 2018-02-13 15:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231077783 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231089103 As we learned form the gizmo(2/16/18) the ecosystem can effect the population in in that case the fish population declined from global warming and climate change with is killing some of the coral that is some of the fishes home killing the fishes along with it. When we tested the red lion fish 20 years in advance all of the coral was there was only lion fish and sea turtles, there were no fish left.]]> 2018-02-13 15:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/231089103 Elk guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/233059149 The elk population is going down because of "predator recovery, hunters, droughts, and a disease called Brucellosis that now affects 30% of Elk in Yellowstone".]]> 2018-02-19 21:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/233059149 Beavers and Willows guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/233063068 The beavers and the willows population has declined because the "Moose and Elk population grew and had to compete with the beavers for food so some of the beavers died off".

Animals are dying mostly because of diseases however we can't take them captive all we can do is catch them and vaccinate them and hope that they live or they can fight the disease. ]]> 2018-02-20 15:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/233316512 The death of predators eating prey is better because they don’t die slowly and they might die and then get a disease then the predators would also get the disease and then the whole park would have a disease making all of the animals dangerous. One animal can determine a nature balance by making sure it has enough food to feed all of the animals and make sure it doesn’t have any diseases or bad predators that will affect them. The predators don’t just prey on the old and sick they normally prey in the slower or the younger mostly because they are slower. When we watched “She Wolf” she preyed on baby animal because it was slower then she got chase by the dad who was almost as fast as her. The balance of nature is the deer would do worse without the wolves then the wolves would not have eat the deer to keep the population controlled. guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/234278852 2018-02-22 15:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/234278852 Moose guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/235938844 The moose's population was declining by weather and how the weather is changing,also fleas are sucking all of the blood out of the moose. They were also declined because wolves were eating them.]]> 2018-02-27 15:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/235938844 guillermog https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/239722071

There is another way to look at it, if the wolves eat all of the elk then the willows could over populate because none of the elk would be eating them because they're all eaten. ]]> 2018-03-08 15:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/guillermog/k7nynzc5eg3o/wish/239722382
