Written by M.Kokořová and V.Bláhová Sewer rat (Rattus norvegicus) Sewer rats are amazing creatures. These are one of the most intelligent rodents. 11
Sewer rats live in bigger,,families, which can encompass hundreds of individuals. Sewer rat is a night creature. The biggest activity displays at dusk, at night and early in the morning. But you can see them in the day-time too. Sewet rats are herbicarnivorous unpretentious in food. They feed on corn, human s reserves, they actively hunt small animals like other rodents and birds. They can eat birdy eggs or invertebrate creaturs too. If they permid food-shortage, thay can kill even animals like big rabbits. Sewer rats are incredibly bearing creaturs. Females have usually 3-5 casts a year and in one cast at average 8 cubs (4-17). Pregnancy of sewer rats last 23 days. Cubs grow very fast. Life of sewer rats isn t long. They live cca 1,5 2 years. Written by Zuzana Jiráková Earth has warmed by about 1oF over the past 100 years. But why? And how? Well, scientists are not exactly sure. 12
The Earth could be getting warmer on its own, but many of the world's leading climate scientists think that things people do are helping to make the Earth warmer. Greenhouse Effect, Climate Change, and Global Warming The Greenhouse Effect: Scientists are sure about the greenhouse effect. They know that greenhouse gases make the Earth warmer by trapping energy in the atmosphere. Climate Change: Climate is the long-term average of a region's weather events lumped together. For example, it's possible that a winter day in Buffalo, New York, could be sunny and mild, but the average weather the climate tells us that Buffalo's winters will mainly be cold and include snow and rain. Climate change represents a change in these long-term weather patterns. They can become warmer or colder. Annual amounts of rainfall or snowfall can increase or decrease. Global Warming: Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. When scientists talk about the issue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities. Written by Martin Holub SUDOKU 13
