Zoo ou l'assassin philanthrope de Vercors
Sous le procès hilarant de cet " assassin philanthrope " se cache, outre la satire du colonialisme,la question philosophique fondamentale : qu'est-ce qu'un homme ? Anthropologues, paléontologues, zoologistes et médecins sont appelés à la barre pour en débattre. L'intrigue de Zoo est celle d'un conte philosophique drolatique alliant satire et réflexion morale. Quant à l'argument anthropologique servant de cadre à l'investigation philosophique, il permet, tout en s'amusant, d'acquérir le...

zoo ou l'assassin philanthrope
gens. Lors de cette séance deux theses contradictoires sont présentées par les savants. Tous deux se basent sur les travaux de scientifiques pour valider leur thèse. On voit ici que la science ne pourra résoudre le problème qui se pose. De nombreux points d'interrogations ponctuent les répliques de Knaatsch , montrant son désaccord et son doute. Quant à Eatons, il est sûr de lui, adopte une attitude supérieure. Rien ne les rapproche, ils sont en désaccord total : l 335 il est à craindre, cependa...

Giant Panda - biology.
In 2007 conservationists announced that a parasitic roundworm was responsible for a significant number of the panda deaths reported in the wild since 1990. Theparasite Baylisascaris schroederi causes the disease visceral larval migrans, which results in bleeding in the lungs, the liver, and the intestines, and can also affect the brain. It is not known if other recent pandas deaths were caused by the same parasite or by a different contagious disease. Loss of habitat from deforestation is forc...

Cheetah - biology.
animals such as zebras. Unlike most cats, cheetahs hunt during the day, when lions and hyenas that compete with them for prey are less likely to be active. Still,scientists in Tanzania have observed that cheetahs lose 10 to 13 percent of their kills to lions and hyenas. Alerted by the panic of a gazelle herd or by the circling ofvultures, lions and hyenas close in and easily drive the more timid cheetah away from a fresh kill. A cheetah usually stalks prey to within about 10 m (about 33 ft) and...

Hippopotamus - biology.
hippo backs up to its droppings and uses its tail as a paddle, flicking the dung through the air. This creates a pile that can become several meters wide over time. Male river hippos start to establish territories when they are in their early 20s, and they may eventually control more than 250 m (820 ft) of the water's edge.Subordinate males come and go freely, but a rival male will spark a confrontation if it tries to intrude. The territory owner and intruder face each other open-mouthedand, if...

Zebra - biology.
C Life Span Captive zebras have lived into their late 30s. Life expectancy in the wild, where predators abound, is probably not much more than 12 years. IV SOCIAL BEHAVIOR Like horses, zebras have large brains and a wide variety of social behaviors. Although they cannot match the overall intelligence of mammals that hunt, zebras interactwith each other in complex ways. Zebras usually live in groups known as herds, but the social structure of these groups depends on the species. The plains zeb...
