What Swimming With Sharks for the First Time Was Like. Top Story - May 2018.
Like any Jaws-era child, I grew up frightened of sharks. Don't get me wrong, I never believed they were mindless monsters who purposefully seek out humans to attack, but I definitely didn't trust them. So much so that as a little girl I wouldn't even swim alone in a pool. I was convinced one would somehow sneak through the filter and "get" me — clearly I didn't understand how filters worked yet.

The Eastern Timber Wolf. Top Story - April 2018.
I volunteered at the Timber Wolf Preservation Society (TWPS) from 2012 to its closing in 2014. As a tour guide, I learned things I never thought I would. My first-hand experience showed me that much of what I thought I knew about wolves before was false. They are a beautiful species that I think everyone can learn from.

Is a Fox a Cat or a Dog?. Top Story - April 2018.
I was visiting a friend in Gold Hill, Colorado. It's right outside Boulder, but several thousand feet above it, up an unpaved road. The foxes there are so unafraid of people that they come right up to back porches. They'll even eat food if you leave it out for them, or just steal your leather moccasins.

Why We Need Sharks
Believe it or not, sharks are one of the things stopping global warming from getting too bad and deadly. Phytoplankton are little organisms that thrive in the ocean. They convert most of the carbon dioxide into oxygen for the world and they provide Earth with 50-85 percent of the world’s oxygen. But fish feed on this phytoplankton and without the sharks feeding on these fish, the phytoplankton population will decimate. The world needs sharks, and people are finally starting to realize it.

‘Trophy Hunting,’ a So-Called Legal Sport, Endangering African Wildlife
“We are left shaking our heads wondering why American people care more about African animals than African people” (Nzoaug, 2015). On July 1st, 2015, Cecil, the beloved lion, was killed by American dentists and their hobby for trophy hunting. Trophy hunting is the selective killing of specific wildlife for reasons none other than the pleasure of mounting the animal’s head on a wall. Trophy hunting has many regulations and restrictions that are put up and vary by country. Most common restrictions include the grounds the animal is hunted and killed, the weapons used, and limitations on which animals can and can't be killed. While trophy hunting carries much controversy, and both sides of the spectrum have substantial and reasonable arguments, trophy hunting should be a ceased so-called “sport.” Though the argument behind the termination of trophy hunting is vast, were Dr. Palmer’s actions wrong? Dr. Palmer’s actions were reprehensible as a whole, but not wrong as he claims to not have been fully aware of the operations taken place to make the hunting happen.
