My Ideal World

Planet Canis Dragon

By Jennifer

This is Planet Canis Dragon. The animals that live here are wolves, dragons, cats, and horses. The plant life on this planet is futuristic. There are plants that respond to sound, touch, smell. How to get to Planet Canis Dragon? Well, just go through the black hole in the middle of the Milky Way. There is a way out of the black hole, but humans haven’t figured it out yet by your tiny ape brains. I am the only human that can access the planet. Therefore, I am a genius. Any other human, creature, or object who tries to enter the black hole will die.

 On Canis Dragon, every creature is immortal, but in a different way than you might first imagine. Creatures can choose when to die and when to age. The law of the planet is, if someone kills another living thing, including plants, on purpose without good reason, the person, or creature, will die. Watch out, evil hunters! There is a plant called the Cornucopia that grants whatever food you want, so there is no need to kill. Any object or creature that manages to get through the black hole will disintegrate or get stretched into nothing when entering the planet. 

 The air on Canis Dragon is toxic to humans, except for me and the animals and the plants that are native, so humans will die even if they breathe one tiny gasp of the air. The reason I survive is because the animals choose who lives and who dies. The bad days on this planet are when acid rain falls and everything has to find shelter until the rain stops. All the plants have an acid rain shield built into them that they can activate when acid rain falls. Planet Canis Dragon is a beautiful planet that you may not want to choose as your next vacation spot.

Endangered Animals #1: Red Wolf

 

This is my first post about endangered animals (second including my very first post). Today we will be talking about the fascinating, wonderful, and critically endangered Red Wolf! The Red Wolf is not the most endangered it’s one of the endangered. These posts are not in order from most endangered to least endangered.

Red wolves (Canis Rufus) are a subspecies of the Gray Wolf. There are about only 20 Red wolves left in the wild in 2022! They are native to North Carolina, where I live! That’s cool.

Description: Red wolves are mostly brown. There is sometimes a reddish tint to their fur. They may look like a German Shepherd at first glance!  The Red wolf’s size is between the Gray wolf and the coyote.

Fun Facts!

  1. Red wolves are nocturnal!
  2. The Red Wolf’s howl sounds like a coyote’s but is more lower pitched and lasts longer.

 

Save the Wolves!

Hello! today, I will be talking about my favorite animal: the wolf!

Now, let me get a few things straight. First, the moment you hear ‘wolf’, you might be reminded of fairytales like The Three Little Pigs or Little Red Riding Hood. You might think that wolves are creepy and dangerous and will attack you on sight. But! In reality, wolves are shy creatures and are totally NOT evil. Wolves are NOT bloodthirsty. They will most likely avoid you because they are scared. They will not attack unless provoked.

In the United States, wolves are seen as vicious predators that attack livestock. They are also considered as vermin! But this is unfair to them! Because the only reason they kill livestock is because humans, US!, kill the older wolves who tell the younger not to kill livestock. This is the first reason why wolves are being killed. The second, is that humans think that wolves kill deer and other big game that we, humans want to hunt for ourselves. Humans think wolves kill TOO MUCH deer and elk! But wolves, they only kill as much as needed which is only one or two deer and if they have enough food, then they could go on for days, even weeks without hunting.

Idaho used to have a wolf law that allowed hunters to kill as many wolves as they wanted. Leaving about five packs in Idaho. The ways they kill and torture the wolves are harsh and brutal. Idaho allows aerial shooting, trapping with snares, and even running them over with snowmobiles! The wolf law does not exist anymore in Idaho but it did for about two years!

Let’s move on from the sad stuff and focus on the bright side of wolves!

Fun Facts:

1. Wolves are admired for their advanced social skills!

2. Wolves like in packs from as few and two, to as many as fifteen!

3. Lower ranked wolves show respect to higher ranked ones!

THANK YOU!!
