It is a sad day for our world and nature; the Western black rhino was declared extinct today by the IUCN. When any animal species goes extinct and leaves this earth it makes me very sad indeed. I hate hearing that kind of news with me being an avid naturalist and lover of animals, wild ones especially. Here is a picture of this once beautiful majestic animal before it met its demise. We must all be aware of our earth and do right by it. We need to educate people on just how delicate the balance of nature really is and how our actions and activities on this earth interfere, a lot of the time, with an animal species' way of life.

Extinct Western Black Rhinos
Hey everyone,
It is a sad day for our world and nature; the Western black rhino was declared extinct today by the IUCN. When any animal species goes extinct and leaves this earth it makes me very sad indeed. I hate hearing that kind of news with me being an avid naturalist and lover of animals, wild ones especially. Here is a picture of this once beautiful majestic animal before it met its demise. We must all be aware of our earth and do right by it.

What Earth may look like after total ice cap melting
This is what the Earth could look like if the polar ice caps melted completely. The oceans would rise approximately 212 feet. This is really scary. My home town (Houston) would be gone.
Prehistoric horses
Titanoboa
This snake did once exist here on earth during the Miocene Era right after the fall of the dinosaurs. It has been found in fossils and is thought to have reached lengths of 40+ feet and had a weight of 2,500 pounds. Now guys, I love snakes, love to handle them and play with them, but a snake this size would be pretty scary, and snakes do not scare me one bit y'all.

Class,
For the writing prompt today I want you to tell me some of the ways you can tell that a chemical reaction has taken place. Use your notes that I gave you for help if you do not remember all of them.
