New Species in Africa

Many scientists went on a field trip to Ethiopia and found what they thought they never would. It was a new species of an animal which people are calling an "African Wolf." Many people first thought that it was a golden jackal. They than realized that it had a lighter skin caoting and it was more thin. After days of research trying to find out what this species could be, they started to compare it to the Egyptian Jackal. This new wolf is a relative of the Holartic Grey Wolf which lives in Europe and Asia. The wolf that was found is rarely found in Ethiopia. It was proven it was not an Ethiopian Wolf because the new wolf splits from grey wolves later than Ethiopian Wolves. This wolf is also a relative of the Indian Wolf and the Himalayan Wolf. That is what the new African Wolf is and who it is related and compared to.

One Year Later

We all remember the devastating earthquake a year ago that struck Haiti. We were all wondering how they would recover from the disaster. They have recovered and are starting to make country better than ever. One of the main reasons how they are starting their comeback is a program called THREAD. THREAD basically means The Haitian Redevelopment Directive. This company will fix many problems which include poverty and trash. They will stop trash by paying Haiti's citizens to recycle. It will also provide "skilled jobs" for people in Haiti. Although it is going to cost thousands of dollars to help Haiti they believe that it can be done. The plan to rebuild Haiti will work but it is going to take a while before everything is back to normal in Haiti.
