Wildlife Overpasses

All over the world, animal habitats bump up against human development. Where these two worlds collide, animals almost never fare well. Highways, where humans speed by large tracts of natural habitat like missiles of doom, are especially dangerous for wild creatures. They can also be deadly, not just for individual animals but for entire species. The Florida panther, for example, has such a low population that each time one is killed on a highway, it is a catastrophic loss.

There is hope, however, in a new way of helping animals cross through highway areas unharmed. Wildlife overpasses give animals a way to cross highways without risking their lives. These look and work like bridges but are usually covered with grass and trees that make animals like deer feel welcome. The cars drive through a tunnel under the bridges. Fences along the top edges keep the animals safe.

These overpasses also connect habitats, so along with deer, the coyotes who hunt them can cross. This allows both species to have a larger range, which also helps their long-term survival. To the animals in these habitats, the overpasses may be like an extra safety net that helps them survive a drought. The bridges are especially important for animals that migrate. For centuries, animals like elk and buffalo migrated on trails that still, now, lead right up to the edges of major highways. With the help of these bridges, migrating animals can still follow their long-used paths unharmed.

In some cases, these overpasses benefit humans directly as well. In these cases, the overpasses are part of a green space or park that people use for cycling, backpacking, or jogging. The overpasses give humans access to areas they may not have been able to see but also provide safety for animals.

The next time you are traveling on a highway, keep a lookout for a wildlife passage. With attention to how our lives affect the natural world, we can find clever solutions, like wildlife passages, that help animals and improve our lives, too.

Not all wildlife accommodations for highways are overpasses. In some cases, certain species are so important that underpasses or underground tunnels are built. In Florida, two such underpasses help turtles, snakes, and alligators that often migrate from one body of water to another. Since these creatures do not have much speed, crossing a highway for them is even more deadly than it is for swift animals like deer. Working like a large funnel, these underpasses usually require a barricade or fence alongside the highway that forces animals toward a tunnel. Aquatic turtles especially benefit from these tunnels as they lay eggs in holes dug in dry ground, away from the lake they live in.


Read this sentence:

Where these two worlds collide, animals rarely fare well.

What does the word collide mean in this context?
Argue
Fight
Make peace
Come together

Answer 4

@MissSmartiez

Answer 5

come together

Answer 6

I AGREE with come together. It's just reading and putting in the best meaning by what information you are given.

Answer 7

yep. commonly known as textual evidence, you can use whats around the word to infer what it means

Answer 8

ok thanks

Answer 9

These overpasses also connect habitats, so along with deer, the coyotes who hunt them can cross.

What does the word habitats means in this context?
Animals
Ecosystems
Highways
Predators

Answer 10

Ecosystems. Habitats are considered places where animals live in, so that makes the most sense

Answer 11

You are always so stingy with the sugar. Please, I like sweet coffee. Can I have more?

Which of the following best explains what the word stingy implies?

A painful bite
A thoughtful gift
An ungenerous person
A physical action

Answer 12

Well you know what a habitat is or at least have a idea I'm sure. Which is not an animal or a high way for that matter! A predator is out the question so that leaves you with Ecosystem. See what we are doing?

Answer 13

ungenerous. stingy means to not give enough of, so basically, the person speaking wants more sugar :)

Answer 14

Why don't we just cruise the aisles in the store and see if there are any organic olives anywhere?

In this sentence, cruise does not relate to travel by boat. Instead, it most likely means which of the following?

To buy
To explore
To float
To observe

Answer 15

to explore.

Answer 16

To explore.

Answer 17

The Florida panther, for example, has such a low population that each time one is killed on a highway, it is a catastrophic loss.

How does this line support the main idea of the essay?
It describes why wildlife overpasses are sometimes not effective.
It explains a case that shows how necessary wildlife overpasses are.
It explains how panther populations are steady.
It suggests that for some animals there is little hope for survival.

Answer 18

Ecosystem isn't a habitat.

Answer 19

It is mixed with biotic and abiotic factors.

Like a fish in water.

That doesn't mean a habitat.

It is a difference.

Answer 20

Habitat is just were a organism lives.

Answer 21

D I think. It suggest that for some animals there is little hope for survival we know @MissSmartiez but it seemed to best fit.

Answer 22

The next time you are traveling on a highway, keep a lookout for a wildlife passage. With attention to how our lives affect the natural world, we can find clever solutions, like wildlife passages, that help animals and improve our lives, too.

What is the purpose of the last paragraph in the essay?

It suggests the topic is one worth thinking about.
It suggests humans need to be more clever.
It suggests humans and wildlife should live in different worlds.
It suggests additional solutions are needed soon.

Answer 23

D or B I think D would be my first pick anyone else have an idea?

Not all wildlife accommodations for highways are overpasses. In some cases, certain species are so important that underpasses or underground tunnels are built. In Florida, two such underpasses help turtles, snakes, and alligators that often migrate from one body of water to another. Since these creatures do not have much speed, crossing a highway for them is even more deadly than it is for swift animals like deer. Working like a large funnel, these underpasses usually require a barricade or fence alongside the highway that forces animals toward a tunnel. Aquatic turtles especially benefit from these tunnels as they lay eggs in holes dug in dry ground, away from the lake they live in.


How does the text develop the idea that wildlife overpasses are beneficial?
By contrasting overpasses to underpasses
By describing the animal overpasses in detail
By describing the areas where animals live
By explaining how animals and humans interact

Answer 36

Answer 38

I think I may know, I just want to be sure.

Answer 39

It seems to talk a lot about under passes so it's why I'm not certain it could be B or not. I believe it could also be D. Maybe try tagging a few people just to be safe!

Answer 40

its alright if i get a 70 or higher they will be suspeshious..lol
