It is technically correct, and recently fashionable, to insist that any living animal is a member of the larger group that contains it phylogenetically, i.e., ancestrally, with that group often named after the known animal that roots the tree.

Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life. Have you ever seen a kid talk to a pet and the animal responds by wagging its tail or purring? Animals are unbiased companions, just what many kids need.

The threat of extinction of such iconic Florida bird prompted State and Federal agencies to find solutions to stop and reverse the declining trend. It would take years to restore such large scale landscape changes, perhaps not soon enough to reverse the kite’s population downward trend. Kites now nest there and are fairly common.

Archaeology has demonstrated that humans were crafting collars for their animals at least 7000 years ago and the possibility that this is a conservative estimate is large. In situations where dogs were primarily guarding domestic animals, collars tended to have studs or spikes to frustrate the jaws of a marauding wolf.

Through intensive conservation management however, this downwards trend was halted and the population stabilized at more or less 100 bustards until 2011.
