Question

Help please! I couldn't really figure out what section to put this in.
Is poaching and game the same thing?

Answer 1

Also, if you would be so kind and please read my Research Paper essay. It's only two and a little over a half pages. I feel like I need to write more but I feel like I've covered everything.

Here it is:

Zebras


A Zebra is very similar to a horse or a donkey. The only difference with the two is that a Zebra can never be domesticated. “Unlike their closest relatives, horses and donkeys, zebras have never been truly domesticated” ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra). The Zebra has exclusive patterns of black and white stripes that only a Zebra can have. These short, overweight, and muscular creatures are commonly 3.5-5ft at the shoulder and usually way up to 440-990 pounds. Zebras have exceptional eyesight and top-notch hearing to be aware of their surroundings.
They also are very social animals (according to http://www.defenders.org/zebra/basic-facts and http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/zebra/). They communicate by using different vocal expressions like barking, snorting, whining. Or even moving their ears. Depending on what type of Zebra it is, the larger or smaller the group is. For example: “Plains and mountain Zebras live in harems that are made up of one stallion and up to six mares and their young, while Grevy's Zebras come together as groups for short periods of time.”( http://www.defenders.org/zebra/basic-facts).
Like most herbivores, Zebras have eyes on the side of their head so they are cautious of predators. Most Zebras eat grass, but some eat leaves and twigs also. If desperate enough, a Zebra will travel up to 1,800 miles in search of food. (According to the African Wildlife Foundation). The most popular species is the Plains Zebra. It lives throughout Angola, southern Ethiopia, and South Africa.
Kenya and Tanzania has somewhat around 8-10 types of Zebras. Zebras are usually located from northern Kenya to Ethiopia, but it all depends on what type of Zebra. They usually live in the plains, extensive country grasslands, African trees, and African savannahs. Zebras tend to stay away from compacted forests and deserts and hardly try to live anywhere above 13,000 feet.
Zebras were typically thought that they had white coats with black stripes. However, that is not the case. Looking at most Zebras, the stripes end on their belly and toward the inside of the legs, and the rest is all white. There can be some exceptions. Some Zebras are actually born black with white stripes. Turns out that Zebras have black skin underneath their hair.
Many scientists are still debating if the stripes on Zebras are for camouflage or something else. Like our fingerprints, the stripes of a Zebra are all unique! The stripes on a Zebra help recognize one another, and help scientists identify each Zebra. No two patterns are the same. Even though the zebra does stand out to us humans, to some predators, Zebras can blend into the tall grass and seem like they are not even there. Another advantage to the Zebra is that when threatened, Zebras can come together and blend in, making the Zebras appear like one animal and scare the predator off.
A typical mating season is year round and depended on species. Female Zebras can carry their young for a growth period of 12 to 14 months. Just like horses, baby zebras are called foals. Foals weigh about 55-88 pounds (according to San Diego Zoo). A few minutes after the filly is born, it can stand up and walk.
A female Zebra can have up to one foal every twelve months, but on occasion, a female can produce twins. Unfortunately, only 50% of foals survive their first year as some of them become prey to predators. The young zebra gets its nourishment from the mother’s milk. Zebras will become fully mature at the ages of 2 to 6 years old. A regular lifespan for a Zebra is about 25 years.
Each year thousands of Zebras migrate in search for a new place to eat. The largest Zebra migration is called Serengeti Migration. More than two million migrate from Serengeti to Kenya. The movement is around 500 miles. Not only are Zebras included in this shift, but also so are wildebeests, antelopes, elks, and other animals moving clock wise from the southeast.
There is also the Makgadikgadi Migration, which is the second largest migration for Zebras. This migration is from Makgadikgadi to the Kalahari Dessert. Zebra herds travel about 350 south to the Makgadikgadi grassland to have good feeding grounds. Approximately 20,000 zebras migrate annually. After the migration, the Zebras and other wild animals return north. The migration is a difficult expedition for Zebras. To predators like leopards, lions, hyenas, and cheetahs it is a potluck they can’t wait to feed on.
There are many animals that are becoming endangered today. Sadly, the Zebras are on the list also. Altogether, the Zebras are not endangered, but narrowing it down to two species out of three, is a concern to many. The two species that are currently endangered are the mountain Zebra and the Grevy’s Zebra. Why are these Zebras endangered? Some answers are that they are hunted for their beautiful hide which makes the Zebra population decrease. Another answer is that because domesticated animal are enhancing largely, food and water supply get lower. Also, do to poaching and game

Answer 3

Hmm maybe Geography. If this is a story your righting about, then in the Writing Section.

Answer 4

This is really good i think

Answer 5

I like it. :)

Answer 6

Poaching is not the same as game

Answer 7

poaching is illegal game
if you want to write about it you can put it in english or maybe science ig

Answer 8

Poaching is illegal game so in a sense it is kinda of game. And if this is an essay or a research paper or really an type of writing it belongs in the writing section.
If you need anymore help just tag me. :)
