  • The Order of Nature: Early Modern Views on Classification and Generation, and Their Theological, Ideological and Empirical Background
    The Order of Nature: Early Modern Views on Classification and Generation, and Their Theological, Ideological and Empirical Background ∵ chapter 2 The Species and Beyond: Classification and the Place of Hybrids in Early Modern Zoology Karl A.E. Enenkel Introduction In the history of science it is always a bit seductive to follow a teleological approach—to assess the achievements of the past with respect to the present status quo of scientific knowledge.1 If one does so, lines of linear and progres- sive development inevitably appear. This has also happened with the history of early modern zoology. In the 16th and 17th centuries zoology brought forth monumental works, including those by Conrad Gessner (1551–1560),2 Edward Wotton (1552),3 Ulisse Aldrovandi (1599 ff.),4 Wolfgang Franzius (Frantze; 1 Cf. my first draft on the topic in Dutch, for a popular audience, “Mengwezens. Hybridisatie in vroegmoderne zoölogische werken”, in Rikken M. (ed.), Veranderlijke dieren van Conrad Gesner, in De boekenwereld 29.1 (2012) 44–51.

  • Liger Or Tigon?
    Page 1/Passage 1 Lexile Level – 680 Word Count – 390 Standard – RI.6.1 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Liger or Tigon? What do you call an animal that is half tiger and half lion? Would it be a “liger” or a “tigon”? The answer is actually, both! A liger has a lion father and a tiger mother. Likewise, a tigon has a tiger father and a lion mother. They have many similarities, but they have differences as well. Ligers Ligers are bigger than tigons. The liger is considered the biggest feline in the world. Hercules, a liger in Miami, Florida, is thought to be the largest, and weighs over 410 kg (approximately 904 pounds). He is very famous. He has been seen on many daytime television shows such as The Today Show and Good Morning America. Ligers are brownish-yellow in coloring. They have both stripes and muted spots. The stripes are on their backs, and the spots are on their bellies. They can make sounds from both lions and tigers. Like lions, they are very social. In fact, they have more lion traits than tiger traits. But when it comes to water, they are more like tigers. Ligers, like tigers, are very good swimmers. Page 2/Passage 1 Tigons Tigons are deep orange in color and have white bellies. They look more like tigers than lions. Tigons can roar like a tiger, and growl like a lion. Like ligers, they have both spots and stripes.
