Wolverines the cute but deadly animal. These animals are reckless and will get what they want. These animals are also referred as the small bear hence the savagery. Wolverines can kill prey much bigger than their body size such as an elk or a deer. They can find prey up to 6 meters / 20 feet deep in the snow and kill hibernating animals.

Many people have to drink contaminated water in order to survive. More than two billion people use a water source that is contaminated with feces (Drinking-Water). Sadly, drinking this water has major consequences. Once the water enters their system, people can develop illnesses such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio (Drinking-Water). According to “Global WASH Fast Facts,” “Unsafe drinking water, inadequate availability of water for hygiene, and lack of access to sanitation together contributes to about eighty-eight percent of deaths from diarrheal diseases” (Global WASH Fast Facts).  Globally, neglected water or hygiene diseases infect millions of people.

Natural disasters can occur worldwide at any point in time and cause extensive and sometimes irreversible damage to an area. Natural disasters are caused by different natural processes occurring on Earth; these processes typically involve tectonic plate shifts or drastic weather changes.

A natural disaster will be considered a severe disaster if it causes 10 or more deaths as a result of the event, while a super-severe disaster is classified by having caused 100 or […]

This shows that you are engaging in the conversation. Apart […]
