1. Visit: Photography Section I love this photo because it reminds me of  "Avatar: The Last Airbender ", my favorite animated serie. When Aang feels called by a bog, and he learn to listen to the nature and knew that we were all connected by invisible threads. I choose this photo because it makes me happy. I know that reptiles dont have parental care in hatching, neither in the travel of babies to the sea. A tortoise can put a hundred of eggs in her nest, put only a few can survive. This little tortoise could survive and it will be alive for hundred of years. I like this photo, it causes on me a strange feeling of comfort. I love how groups of animals work, They try to protect each other from the cold by getting closer... Maybe we could do this to get more warm in this cold winter days. 2. Visit: Video > Animals This video  is about a siberian tiger which has to be removed to another location, he is tranquilized and moved to a place...

Why do i want to be a vet?

Imagen
Well, when I was a child I wasn't thinking about being a vet, I wanted to become an artist, because I loved and still love making paintings and sculptures, but then I heard that being an artist includes a lot of history, and I hate history from the beginning of times… When I grow up I found my real vocation. Sincerely, when I postulate to vet, there wasn’t another option it was: “Veterinary in Universidad de Chile” or “Veterinary in Universidad Mayor” or “Veterinary in Universidad Austral”. Because if I didn’t become a vet I wouldn’t be happy. I decided to be a vet, like in 5th grade because I felt too much love for dogs that were homeless, more than my classmates. I wanted to make a change for them. And here I am. My experience in university until now is exactly what I was expecting, good friends, hard work, laughs and stress, too much stress… I always think my future job like a physiotherapist for dog or cats that are unable to walk… I think that seeing those animals living a n...

This is from a year ago, it was took by my brother, in a park near to my house where i go with my ferret almost every day in hot days. This day i went with my niece too and we got a very good time, we played that we have a picnic and Barry, my ferret, was our baby.I like this photo because when i saw it I can imagine the laugh of my niece being so happy that i bring her with me to the park. And i love to make her happy. (The blue tube that is in the photo is Barry's favourite toy, he like to get in, and pretend we cant see him.) When we are in the park, everybody come to asking me "what is that animal?"... I think the funniest thing that a person had told me is "Why do you bring a beaver to the park?!". My niece like to explain that Barry is not a rat or a beaver, i think she has the vocation to be a vet tooand its a good way to make friends in the park.

The Homo Habilis used to live in Eastern and SOUTHERN Africa. 4. About 12,000 years ago, humans managed to control the growth and breeding of some PLANTS and animals. 5. The SAHELANTHROPUS TCHADENSIS is the earliest human species from the timeline. Answer these questions: 1. What's been the role of climate change in the development of humans? The climate change is directly related to the increase of the size of the brains in early humans species, so accelerate the development of humans. 2. In your opinion, what is the most significant milestone for the human evolution? Why? I think the most significant milestone is "the rapid increase in brain size" because its when we started to question why of things, we started to understand phenomenon that before wasn't important. 3. Which early human species was though...

MY EYEGLASSES

My favourite object, definitely are my eyeglasses, because my life wouldn't be the same without them, seriously. They are two pieces of glass in a frame of plastic that help me to see, because of my defective vision. I suffer from myopia and astigmatism. So they help me to see thing that are far away from me.  I got them since I was 10 years old, because I couldn't see the whiteboard from the second line of the classroom. Of course my mom didn't believe me hahaha.  And the teacher had to call her because I suffered from headache every day. My first eyeglasses were blue and small, then my second pair was red small too. Now I prefer the ones that are big because they cover all my vision. I use them every day since I wake up until I go to bed, I never forgot them, or lost them. I get anxious if I don't have them.  My life without my glasses would be horrible, I couldn't see the number of "micros", I could see the whiteboard, I couldn't recogn...
