Should people be able to have exotic pets like Chimpanzees or Tigers?

People should be allowed to keep exotic animals like Chimpanzees or tiger?

                                                By: Austin Setzer

Can you imagine having a white tiger as a pet instead of a regular old house cat? People should be able to keep exotic animals. My reasons about keeping exotic animals are to learn about them, they don’t have to be dangerous, and people would get bored with regular pets then exotic animals.

Having exotic pets helps you to learn more about them. Before you get an exotic critter, you can look them up on the computer or in a book. It would help if you know what they like to play with. It also helps you to have food and know what they eat. Find out how big they will get, so you would know. You should look them up to research animals.

    They don’t have to be dangerous. What if the animal has a gigantic cage and doesn’t bite you? You will need a giant cage for a bear or elephant or a giraffe.  You can train exotic animals to not bite. If a tiger bites you can put it to sleep or put it in the zoo. The cage can go outside in the big yard, so the animal can run around in the cage.   Not all German Shepard.  Some types of cats are exotic animals, like a tiger, lion, and leopard.

    People get bored with regular pets. Some people would like more interesting animals for pets than dogs or cats. I am one of them. I would like a nice and warm hearted monkey for a pet. I also want a penguin too. They are remarkable. I’m bored with dogs and cats.      

         

PALEONTOLOGY By: Zathan Z

Hi I’m Zac Bagwell. I’m in 5th grade. I like space, rocks and minerals, dinosaurs, and gaming. I think it would be cool to be a paleontologist because you get to dig up fossils and learn about the past earth and how it was. If you are a paleontologist, you might even find a new species of dinosaur!
Paleontology is related to one branch of the earth science which is geology.
Paleontologists dig up old dinosaur bones called fossils.  Fossils aren’t just dinosaur bones though, other types of fossils are the result of: mummification, amber, freezing, petrification, imprints, molds and casts, coprolites, and gastroliths (Holt).
“Fossils are an important source of information for finding out about past geological events” (Holt  197). Paleontologists use these fossils to learn about the dinosaurs that lived a long time ago. The fossils even help them learn about how the earth was many years ago.
In 1796 George Cuvier proved there were bones of extinct animals from a long time ago. George was a scientist that studied organismal biology. He is considered to be the father of paleontology (www.ucmp.berkeley.edu).
How do you become a paleontologist? Paleontologists need a college degree and most paleontologists also need a PhD in paleontology, geology, anatomy, biology and stuff like that. Classes that paleontologists go to are in biology and geology. Knowing about the dinosaurs and how they lived and how they fossilize are important for a paleontologist  to know(www.projectexploration.org).
I would like to find a Dimetrodon and a Stegosaurus because in my video game, “ Fossil Fighters,” those are my main dinosaurs I use in the game.  The scientists believe that the Stegosaurus used its spikes to defend and cool down itself.  Both dinosaurs look awesome.

The Six Avengers

In New York City there were six Avengers : Iron Man, Black Widow, Green Archer, Thor, The Hulk and Captain America. But then, in the World of Silence the evil Loki was resting on a tree stump.
“I will win this war soon.  I will have it all and then Midguard will be mine!”
“We’re forming this group of people to fight the battles that we cannot fight,” said Nick Fury, director of S. H. I. E. L. D.  “
Iron Man said “If we can’t save the world then we’re going to avenge it. Dr. Banner I am a total fan of how you turn into a green monster and um, and save the world a bit, and also go out of control and …oh I don’t know how to say this but you’re awesome!”
“Uh thank you.”
