The article that I read today was called "Africa’s 2 elephant species are both endangered, due to poaching and habitat loss" and was written by scientist George Wittemyer. It is about a critical situation of African elephants in terms of their number. Many species are engendered because of human activities but those mammals are one the last I would think of. Elephants are one of the first things that spring to mind when we think about Africa. This is one of the reasons why a decrease in their number is sad. They are beautiful animals that deserve to be left in peace. The text follows that those animals are also doing a lot of good for the planet. I didn't know that they were fighting witch climate change just by walking (they disperse seeds and thin out young trees). It is yet another reason to help them increase their population. I think that the case of elephants shows how bad people are treating and treated our planet.  https://theconversation.com/africas-2-elephan...

  This week I read an article called "How ‘tiger farms’ have turned a wild animal into a species worth more dead than alive". It was written by Simon Evans. The text is about how bad tigers are treated on farms and how their lives are miserable. I think that those tigers are in a very bad situation. Not enough they are held in captivity, but also they are kept in terrible conditions. It made me sad when I wrote how they are treated. Every animal has a right to lead a healthy life in the wild. Those poor tigers are under a huge amount of stress just because owners of farms simply don't care about them. What matters to those people is only money. And they don't care if animals are in good condition or not. Personally, I think that those farms should be investigated and if possible closed. And if it wouldn't work some laws limiting those farms should be made. https://theconversation.com/how-tiger-farms-have-turned-a-wild-animal-into-a-species-worth-more-dead-than...

  The article that I lately read is called "Playing with ultra-thin dolls could make girls as young as five want skinnier bodies" and is written by Lynda Boothroyd. The text is about a study that checked how thin dolls affect girls perception of their and others bodies. The writer, who also was one of the people who conducted a study, makes some good points. She observed that little girls who are playing with super-thin dolls are more likely to desire this type of body or see it as the perfect one. Apparently, it can be"fixed" which is good. Little girls should not feel bad about their own bodies. I think, as the author, that playing with this type of dolls can affect the future of kids playing with them. They can be depressed, have eating disorders, or be insecure. I don't think that girls shouldn't play with dolls like Barbie, but I think that they definitely should have other figures (in the text Dora is mentioned) and be told that every type of body ...

The article that I read this week was called "'Giant luminous shark': researchers discover three deep-sea sharks glow in the dark" written by Elle Hunt. The text was about lately discovered sharks with the ability to glow.  Finding out about such a surprising thing isn't really a surprise. It is common knowledge that we didn't discover the whole marine life that exists. There is still a lot to find out in this ecosystem and we still are slowly getting to know it. Three sharks found near New Zealand's coast only prove that. Like said in the text, I think that the fact that those animals live in the zone which sunlight reaches and still use bioluminescence sheds new light on their lives.  Now scientists have to answer the question of why are they doing it. One of the hypotheses is that those sharks glow to camouflage themselves. I think that it makes a lot of sense because those animals aren't the biggest predators in the ocean and they can easily be e...
