         <title>Come up with possible reasons for the decision to reintroduce grey wolves into the National Park. From the three options below, select the reason you find most likely.1.     The wolves were brought into the National Park because people, thanks to the extensive awareness campaign, were not afraid of them anymore.2.     The wolves were brought in because they were the most exciting creatures for the visitors of the Park to see.3.     The wolves were brought in because the increased elk population was overgrazing the deciduous, woody species such as aspen and cottonwood.  »   Post your answer to your padlet. </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The correct answer refers to the 3rd statement-option. They were brought into the National Park  to manage the rising elk population, which had been overgrazing much of the park, but their effect went far beyond that. <br><br></div><div>See links below<br><br><a href="http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140128-how-wolves-saved-a-famous-park">http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140128-how-wolves-saved-a-famous-park<br></a><br></div><div><a href="https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/wolf-reintroduction-changes-ecosystem">https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/wolf-reintroduction-changes-ecosystem</a> </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br><strong><em>Golden Eagle - Capra aegagrus <br></em></strong><br><strong>The Golden Eagle </strong><strong><em>Aquila chrysaetos</em></strong><strong> </strong>is one of the most numerous and widespread eagles in the world. Its distribution extends across the Holartic region with major concentrations in the Eastern Palearctic and North America. Its typical habitat is mountainous regions with low vegetation and suitable cliffs for breeding or wooded peat lands where it nests mainly in trees. In Northern Europe the species’ main prey are tetraonids and carrion but across the Mediterranean countries hares, partridges and tortoises constitute the major part of its diet<br><br></div><div><strong>In Greece </strong>the Golden Eagle was widespread during the 19th century and the first half of this century over the entire mainland and on many islands both in the Aegean and the Ionian sea. According to the literature Greece harbours two subspecies: Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos in the continental areas and Aquila chrysaetos homeyeri in Crete (Cramp and Simmons 1989).<br><br></div><div><strong>FOOD HABITS :</strong> The golden eagle feeds primarily on mammals.  It feeds mainly on lagomorphs and small rodents, but also on marmots (Marmota spp.),prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.), ground squirrels (Spermophilus spp.), weasels (Mustela spp.), woodrats (Neotoma spp.), skunks, mice, and rarely, large mammals.  The golden eagle also eats grouse, pheasants(Phasianus spp.), owls, hawks, rock dove (Columba livia), magpies (Pica</div><div>spp.), and other birds as well as rattlesnakes, frogs, carrion, and occasionally, fish.<br><br><br><br><a href="https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Aquila_chrysaetos/">https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Aquila_chrysaetos/<br></a><br><strong><em>Carpa aegagrus <br><br></em></strong>The <strong>wild goat</strong> (<em>Capra aegagrus</em>) is a widespread species  of  goat  with a distribution ranging from Europe and Asia Mnor to Central Asia and Midlle East.It has been listed as vulnerable on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUCN_Red_List">IUCN Red List</a> since 1996. It is considered the ancestor of the domestic goat.<br><br></div><div><a href="https://www.arkive.org/wild-goat/capra-aegagrus/image-G60267.html">https://www.arkive.org/wild-goat/capra-aegagrus/image-G60267.html</a><br><strong><em>Lepus europaeus</em></strong><br>The European hare (<strong><em>Lepus europaeus</em></strong>), also known as the brown hare, is a species of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare">hare</a> native to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe">Europe</a> and parts of Asia. It is among the largest hare species and is adapted to temperate, open country. Hares are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbivorous">herbivorous</a> and feed mainly on grasses and herbs, supplementing these with twigs, buds, bark and field crops, particularly in winter. Their natural <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predation">predators</a> include large <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_of_prey">birds of prey</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canidae">canids</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felid">felids</a>. They rely on high-speed endurance running to escape predation, having long, powerful limbs and large nostrils.<br><br></div><div><br>Generally nocturnal and shy in nature, hares change their behaviour in the spring, when they can be seen in broad daylight chasing one another around in fields. During this spring frenzy, they sometimes strike one another with their paws ("boxing"). This is usually not competition between males, but a female hitting a male, either to show she is not yet ready to mate or as a test of his determination. The female nests in a depression on the surface of the ground rather than in a burrow, and the young are active as soon as they are born. Litters may consist of three or four young and a female can bear three litters a year, with hares living for up to twelve years. The breeding season lasts from January to August.<br><br></div><div>The European hare is listed as being of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least-concern_species">least concern</a> by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Union_for_Conservation_of_Nature">International Union for Conservation of Nature</a> because it has a wide range and is moderately abundant. However, populations have been declining in mainland Europe since the 1960s, at least partly due to changes in farming practices </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> <br><br></div>]]></description>
