MY BIG QUESTION RESEARCH

                                  THE AMERICAN MINK

The American mink is a member of the mustilet family also known as the weasel family which include the otter, wolverines, domestic ferret and the honey badger. There are 2 different species of mustelid commonly known as mink. The European mink always have white markings on there upper and lower lips. American mink typically don't have white markings on there upper lip. When Europeans first came to America they discovered a medium sized dark colored mustelid that looked similar to the European mink from their home land. The American mink and European mink are 2 different types of mustelids. European mink are closer to weasels while American mink are separated in there own different genus. American mink are much more powerfully built and more aggressive predators than European mink. The American mink is also semi aquatic mammal. Mink are able to enter underground burrows to hunt ground dwelling pray like rabbits, squirrels and rats but can't dig as well as European mink. They are no where near as fast on land as weasels but like there cousins the otters the swim underwater to catch fish and crabs. They also cant swim as fast or hold there breaths as long as an otter can. Mink can also climb trees to pursue prey but they also aren't as agile and fast on trees. A mink is a true master at hunting muskrats.

MY LEARNING FALL AND RISE

 When I entered this class for the first time since last year I felt confident of taking this class for the second time. I thought that it was going to be fairly easy. Little did I know I was in for a treat. The class this year was different. My learning experience has been different every year, especially after taking your class least year i felt way more confident and responsible for my work ethic and time management.   That first day that I met you after our departure from the class last year was familiar to what you said last year. I expected that you were going to leave the class and give us the option of choosing the way we learn this year.
