Beneath our feet and even around our heads lies a world
which we may never understand. The quote by Aldo Leopold really made me think.
It is amazing that we may never learn everything that occurs within our own
environment. There may be a secret life of bugs, like the ones portrayed in
movies like Bugs Life and Antz or even special friendships between two animals
of two totally different species. It may be amazing that we may not notice or completely
understand what happens in our environment but according to Leopold this is not
unfortunate. I agree with Leopold. Completely understanding all of the salient
facts about nature takes the all beauty out of it. The mystery of nature is
what makes it so alluring, and like a mysterious and attractive woman we all
look twice to take in her beauty. If man
one day completely understands the ambiguity of nature then I imagine the world
would be completely changed. Man’s thirst for knowledge and boundless curiosity
has changed our world drastically. Like we learned in class, man created the
domestic dog through curiosity, so how will we react when all the mysteries of
nature are discovered. Will we get bored and completely neglect it or even move
on to conquer the natural environment of another planet?
What kind of everyday challenges do ants face?
Do raccoons plan their heist on garbage cans?
When squirrels cross the street is it just a game of
chicken?
Why do worms come out when it rains heavily?
What is cutting the lawn like for small bugs and plants?
How do other animals feel when they see road kill?
What are bees buzzing about?
How do trees feel when they are defaced?
