Blog #48: Nature


Nature in general amazes me. It amazes me how the weather can change so rapidly and how one day it can be sunny and hot and the next day it is rainy and freezing. It amazes me how there are still so many things about nature that we have yet to discover, such as certain species of fish and animals that we cannot get to yet due to their location. Also it amazes me how animals and fish can survive in some of the worst climates, like the fish that live deep down in the ocean. Those types of fish are so neat to learn about and how they are able to live off little food and no light. It also amazes me how so many things in nature can help our bodies, such as aloe and how we figures out to use it for burns and that certain berries are bad for us. It is just so neat to think about nature and all the aspect of it and how we know so much, but so little about nature at the same time. Also, it amazes me that some animals in nature are monogamous like us. For instance penguins are monogamous and the male searches all over for the best pebble and presents it to the female as an engagement ring type deal; I find that amazing. I think it is very interesting that elephants mourn the deaths of loved ones, just like humans. It is weird how we are all connect through nature and that there is a huge chain that links us. I love learning about nature and the things in it!

  1. That is one interesting part about Ohio weather. One day it can be sunny and warm, the next it can be cold and raining. I think it would be weird to live in a place where the weather is always the same.

  2. Agree with Will. I don't think there are too many places where the temperature can rise or fall 50+ degrees in 24 hours. I remember one day in January it was like -20, a day later, it got up to 62 for 12 hours and all the snow melted. Crazy.

  5. The penguin thing is so interesting! I think it's amazing that an animal could do that. And people try to say animals don't have feelings!
