The humphead wrasse is one of the lesser known marine animals. This animal is an extremely large coral reef fish. It is best known for the massive bulge that is typically found on their forehead. Some of these fish can live all the way to thirty years! The current status of these fish is “endangered.” What was once a thriving population is rapidly decreasing to under 10,000 individuals. The population numbers have decreased by more than 90%. The reason for this decrease can be attributed to over fishing because of the value of the fish. People will attempt to catch them in the wild to sell them for profits. They are also threatened by habitat loss. The main thing that is being done to stop the over fishing is to ban the export of the rare fish. This massive fish can reach up to 400 pounds and over six feet in length. Picture   Source 

The dugong, a cousin of the manatee is commonly referred to as a “sea cow.” These animals feed off of grass and other plants in the shallow parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. While these animals don’t serve a large importance in their environment, they are important and need to be protected. They are also a large tourist attraction for people to swim with them. The population of the dugong is at an alarming, but not extremely dangerous population of about 100,000 individuals. The main threat to the sea cow is their food source. Sea grass habitat loss limits the amount of food available. If the amount of food available for the sea cow is limited, their ability to reproduce is halted resulting in lower population numbers. There isn’t much, other than reducing ocean pollution to stop the habitat loss of sea grass. The dugong can reach over 800 pounds and up to 10 feet in length. Picture  Source 

The Galapagos penguin is the one and only species of penguin that is found north of the equator in the Galapagos. As of right now, this animal is classified as “extremely endangered.” While the most that this population has ever seen was only fifteen thousand individuals, it’s current estimated population of two-thousand is very concerning. They matter in their environment because they are the only one of their type. If they went extinct, there would be major repercussions in their ecosystem. Their main threats consist of pollution and climate change. There are also new species being introduced into their environment that carry diseases. They can be found on most of the Galapagos islands which are located near Ecuador. These penguins are significantly smaller than some of the other species of penguins; they can reach up to about six pounds and only reaching around nineteen inches in length.    Source   Picture

The jaguar is the strongest member of the feline family. They are commonly recognized by their unique spotted coat. While they are the strongest, they are the third biggest cat in the world. The jaguars name comes from a South American language where it means “kills with one leap.” This animal is strictly a carnivore and preys on almost any animals that they encounter. The jaguars population has been at a slow steady decline for a while. The population number as of 2024 is around 170,000 individuals. This number may seem like a lot, but this is just a fraction of what the number once was. The main contributors to this decline is habitat loss and illegal wildlife trade. If these factors wre eliminated, the population would most likely level out and remain steady. Jaguars are found in nineteen countries in North and South America.  Source   Picture  

When it comes to tea at home without the use of the kitchen there is a common denominator of its creation method. As it pertains to normal tea, make sun tea similar with the same amount of water. Instead, you must leave it in a clear container capable of retracting heat from the sun and leave it outside and enclosed until your tea is enveloped to your liking. Sun tea will indeed take longer to formulate in some places rather than others, so if you’re up to some tea no need to fear, the sun is here!  Picture Source

None of us know what others are going through completely, and it is best to have a strong community of understanding to overcome and develop a deep connection and love for our town. The very first baby step of true respect that can make people’s day is to simply listen and pay attention to their words and find interest in what they are communicating. Ask questions in regards to the basis of their works instead of the generic starters, take notice, and consider asking what you don’t know to learn more and feel the passion of their thoughts from them. Relate to ideas and thoughts and respect differing views and if you are not sure or uneducated say simply, “I know not to have an opinion, do tell me more and I’ll get back to you when I make an educated response.” Furthering the respect and consideration for others that you have for them and their individuality and characteristics that make them beautifully unique.

Without strong morals and deep conversations not to keep peace but to love one another, we perverse and skew morals until what is good seems bad. Many traditions worked for many years and are the basis of reality, but true is it for some old habits necessary to die, we must establish a group focal and concentrate on the betterment of the world in all uncomfortable truths so that we may master the tidings set before us. History is doomed to repeat and we must learn from our past that if the people don’t run the people, then it is those most presently loud that take leadership. Remember the ones that cannot be criticized, for they need it most in terms of authoritative models. Picture Source

In-kind regards, there is an epidemic and rising inclination for obesity to consume people of their body’s potential to ruin the man from within from character and physical ability. Being obese is not always a choice granted, but Obesity shows that you don’t care for yourself and that you may not have good self-control. Obesity hinders your physical ability to be there for others as well as your mental image including realistic confidence and personality reflecting how much you care for yourself disregarding others.
