...“Rabbits and wolves” Introduction The computer simulation named “Rabbits and wolves” is about models and simple systems. In the simulation, there are three main organisms, rabbits, wolves and grass all put together in a forest ecosystem. An ecosystem is a set of organism within a defined area or volume that interact with one another and with their environment (Miller & Spoolman). A system is a collection of elements or components that are organized for a common purpose (Rouse, 2005). The purpose of this simulation is to see how these three organisms will interact with one another in the same environment. We will see how the populations of these organisms change by modifying parameters specific to each organism and how changing the start up parameter of an organism can affect the way the others grow. Objectives 1. To view and interact with a simple scientific computer model. 2. To determine how simple changes in populations of one organism will affect populations of organism in the same system. 3. To use a computer model to complete objective 2. Hypothesis Placing rabbits in a larger forest will not only allow them to grow better and have enough sustenance but also to avoid being eaten by wolves. Results The default parameters are the following: | Rabbit | Wolf | Maximum food capacity | 45 units | 200 units | Metabolism rate | 3 units/stage | 2 units/stage | Reproduction age | 10 stages | 10 stages | Probability of reproduction...

For example, rabbits be trained to use the litter box, and most rabbits will use it without fail or otherwise rabbit's droppings are very small and don't stink like dogs. Lastly, one of the most attractive features of rabbits as housepets is their ease of care. Rabbits don't have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play, and they do their business in the litter box. Rabbits also take care of their own grooming. Bathing a rabbit is almost never necessary because under ordinary circumstances rabbits clean themselves. Rabbits are more particular about...

...Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American animated and live action fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is based on Gary K. Wolf's 1981 novel "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?", which depicts a world in which cartoon characters interact directly with people and animals. Toon star Roger Rabbit worries that his wife Jessica plays pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. However, the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme (the practical joke-loving owner of the studio) is found dead and Roger is the prime suspect. A toon hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder. During the search for the true killer, the detective wonders how Roger can have an exuberant spirit in the face of possible death. Roger tells him that "a laugh can be a very powerful thing, why sometimes in life it's the only weapon we have". At this moment the detective sees Roger in a different way. So Eddie Valiant manages to solve a crime in a town where "logic goes out the window". He kisses Roger, proving that he has regained his sense of humor, and the toons celebrate their victory. This film mixes the live and animated characters, and lots of references to classic animation, it brought many famous cartoon characters from different studios together on screen including Mickey Mouse (Disney), Bugs Bunny (Warner Bros.), Droopy Dog (MGM) and etc. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a lots of fun, ironic...

...Rabbits by Dorothy Nimmo 1. Summary: The story is about two sisters, who had been giving a nice china rabbit each by their uncle. They’re having a tea party in the garden and it is all very idyllic. But the oldest girl is very manipulating, and manipulates her little sister, to give her the rabbit her little sister had been giving. Then the older sister decides that she wants her own rabbit back, and she gets it her way. 2. Characterize the two sisters: Kate: Kate is described, from a small girl’s point of view, as a brave, intellectual, talkative, naughty and pretty girl. I will say, that Kate is about eight or nine years old. She is very aware of herself and very manipulative against her little sister Ellen. She is probably a bully, because she seems to enjoy nagging on Ellen. She calls Ellen fat, because she is eating redcurrants and threatens to tell their mother. Kate has a great power over Ellen, and is abusing it for her own amusement. Ellen: Ellen is two years younger than Kate. Six or seven years old, is my guess. She is very cautious, a fusspot if you may. She is described as a clumsy girl who always fall over her own feet, and is all covered up with plasters. She looks up to her big sister Kate, and sees her as an idol. Ellen is imitating her big sister, and does as Kate says. Kate asks Ellen, to go to the shed and get a brush, and Ellen just goes down the path to the shed, without protesting. 3. Comment on Kate’s way to manipulate: Kate knows that...

...Once upon a time there was a forest fire in a big, big forest. All the little animals that lived there ran as fast as they could to get away from the hot flames. Squirrels, raccoons, foxes, snakes, turtles, rabbits, mice and many other animals had to find new homes. Some of them went to other forests, some of them went to parks, and some of them actually had to make their little homes in the yards of human beings, or, people. Far, far away from the fire was a house where three little children lived. Their names were Thomas, Kathy, and Carrie. They all went to school but on this September day it was Saturday. They had been playing all morning. Now it was lunchtime. They were hungry. They asked their mom if they could have lunch, and she said, "Why don't you have a picnic in the yard"? That sounded like a great idea, but WHERE in the yard? So Mom told them to lay a picnic cloth in the green grassy grass near the scruffy old juniper bushes. While they were doing that, she would make some celery sticks, carrot sticks, and some yummy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When the kids had spread out the picnic blanket, they ran into the kitchen and asked if lunch was ready. Mom told them to take the carrot sticks and plates out to the blanket, and to take their drinks also. So Thomas, Kathy and Carrie took these things out to the blanket and arranged them carefully. Then they ran as fast as they could, huffing and puffing, back to the kitchen and said to Mom,...

... Why start. Take one look at the domestic rabbit, and you will understand its appeal. Recognize it as an animal that thrives almost anywhere and is inexpensive to obtain and easy to maintain. Add its legend any prolificacy, its unmatched cleanliness, and a steadfast refusal to bark at the moon at midnight or crow at the neighbor at 6 A.M. Consider, above all, its versatility, and you will readily comprehend it’s steadily, zooming popularity. If you going to start a rabbitry you will first need to be able to find out if u have the space for a 35 by 24 rabbit hutch for indoors or outdoors. Once u get all that figured out, u need to find out what kind of bedding u will be getting. The three best bedding u can get is straw, hay, and wood shavings. In the summer u would probably want to mix wood shavings and hay. You could also put a frozen water bottle in there so they can lie on it to cool down. It’s a good idea to have the bedding about 3 inches thick through out the hole box of the hutch. In winter line the whole cage with stray or hay. If it is possible get the straw or hay stacte on the sides of the walls. The next step of building a rabbitry is to build your herd. There is multiple different rabbits to choose from. You could pick the small breeds, like the Nether Land Dwarf or the large breeds, like the German Grey Giant. You also need to know what you are raising rabbits for. The top three things for rabbits are meat, show, and breeding. If you choose to raise...

...Rabbits – by Dorothy Nimmo The short story is about to sisters who are sitting in the orchard garden and having a tea party. Both of them Katy and Ellen has been given a china rabbi by their uncle. Kate who is elder by two years has gotten a blue rabbit; Ellen has gotten a brown one. Kate Manipulate her sister to give her the rabbit she had been giving. Then Katy wants her own rabbit back, and somehow gets it again. Settings The text “Rabbits” take place in a summerhouse orchard (frugthave), the story is not real but could be something happening in real life. In the text, the girls are not only in the summerhouse but also some other place ex. The shed. We do not hear about the social environment in the text. The text is describe detailed and we get a sort of an imagination of the place the two sisters are staying in. Their surroundings makes the story peaceful and idyllic. (Does it reveal anything about the characters’ feelings? Not answered yet). Characters In the story, there are two characters involved two sisters, Kate and Ellen. We know that Kate is two years older than her sister Ellen is. Kate is the dominating sister, who is able to manipulate Ellen. From Ellen’s point of view, Kate is described as a Clever, naughty, pretty, talkative, lovable and most importantly older then she is (Page 1 line 16-17). We do not get the age of the two girls, but I would say that Kate is 8-9 years old. Kate is very aware of herself and manipulative against her little sister Ellen...

...RAISING RABBITS IN THE TROPICS The importance of the domestic rabbit as a supplier of meat for human consumption is widely recognised throughout the world. There are rabbit farms in the tropics and sub-tropics. The size of these varies from the large commercial rabbitries to small backyard rabbitries. Apart from being a good source of meat, rabbits provide useful skins, manure and, with some breeds wool. Reasons for keeping rabbits Most of the countries in both the tropics and sub-tropics face an increasing demand for meat production, especially in expanding urban areas. The rabbit has several points in its favour as a meat producer, and can be raised either on a small-scale by individual households, or on larger commercial scales. Furthermore, there are few cultural or religions or beliefs which do not allow the eating of rabbit meat. Rabbits can be fed on a great variety of locally available foods, some green leaves and kitchen vegetable scraps can be given to rabbits at almost no cost. Commercial rabbitries buy more expensive concentrate rations for their rabbits. Rabbits can breed and grow quickly. This means that a rabbitry can expand quickly and take advantage of a plentiful food supply. Even the backyard rabbit keeper can provide a constant supply of meat for his family. Rabbit skins can be used for several purposes (mats, rugs and clothes). The manure is a valuable organic fertilizer for use in a vegetable garden. Housing can be built from pieces of wood and/or bamboo...

...with a couple of Holland Lop rabbits. When we raised the rabbits together, I found not only my grandfather's wisdom and patience, but also the love between us. It was the Chinese spring festival, the household would celebrate together and the older generation would generally give some gifts to the younger. Instead of the lucky money, which was a very normal gift in my eyes, my grandfather presented two Holland Lop rabbits to me. I was so surprised and extremely happy. My grandfather said, "When I first saw them, I thought of you. I knew you would like them because of their super small size and their natural gentle disposition." Admittedly, I liked the rabbits very much. They had black eyes and small ears. One of the rabbits was white and brown, another was grey. I was curious about why they were called Lop rabbits. My grandfather told me that their ears would grow downward, and the weight of these kind of rabbits was between 2 to 2.5 kg. For the next several days, we raised the rabbits together and I found that my grandfather was a patient and careful person. We bought a large rabbit cage and he advised me to put a hay ball in it, with which rabbits could play. Also, we kept the cage dry and healthy. My grandfather said that could prevent bacteria. What's more, we fed the mineral water to the rabbits and my grandfather also prepared some Timothy hay and rabbit food for them. I asked my grandfather if we should feed vegetables to the rabbits. He rejected my suggestion because...

...to be hard brown wood is actually soft, fuzzy fur. I continue around to the farthest side of the pool and my mind puts together the image of a small baby bunny, its nose barely above the water line. There is no way of knowing how long that poor bundle of fur had been in the water for I had been in school all day. If there was any chance that this bunny is still alive, I needed to act fast to keep him that way. My brain was transmitting neurons pretty quickly at this point to try to rescue the little cottontail before it was too late. I knew the pool net was too far away as the nose dipped under. Clothes on and all, I dive in. Chlorine in my eyes, I swiftly fumbled around until my hand grasped the soaked coat. Keeping the bunny rabbit above water, I swim to the stairs as rapidly as my body could. Within seconds,(BANANAS) I clamber out of the water. Right off the bat, I’m noticing the bunny’s body temperature is freezing. Why was yesterday the one day I remembered to put away the beach towels, inside. I run to the back door in a panic for the bunny wasn’t moving, not a foot, not his nose, not an eye twitch. I open the door, a gush of chilled air rushes out. I make the rash decision of standing out in the doorway, and not taking a wet, cold, hopefully still alive, creature into an even colder...
