	Humane Education - Sample Lesson Plan
		Children often can't relate to animals because they don't understand their behavior; the more different an animal (or person) seems, the more difficult it is to have empathy (think about human prejudices/racism/sexism -- the underlying themes are "they're different from us").
		In some situations, children may be able to take direct action (i.e., telling children who are hurting animals to stop, or asking their parents to provide food, water, shelter to a neglected animal), but most often their way of helping the animal will be to report the abuse/neglect to the HS worker.
		Display photos of animals in their "natural state" compared to photos of animals living on a "factory farm." Discuss how animals are used for food and clothing; give students alternatives for animal products.

		This list will include even such names as griffon, lamia, siren or unicorn, which, though generally applied to fabulous beings, have nevertheless, on account of some misunderstandings or educational prejudices of the Greek and Latin translators, crept into the versions, and have been applied to real animals.
		But in olden times as well as now, besides the legions of pigeons that swarm around the villages, there were many more rock-doves, "doves of the valleys", as they are occasionally termed (Ezekiel 7:16; Song of Songs 2:14; Jeremiah 48:28), that filled the echoes of the mountain gorges with the rustling of their wings.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Swarming
		A swarm has been defined as a set of (mobile) agents which are liable to communicate directly or indirectly (by acting on their local environment) with each other, and which collectively carry out a distributed problem solving.
		At all levels these swarms are engaged in distributed problem solving based on an infinitely complicated web of semetic interaction patterns which in the end can only be explained through reference to the actual history of the body system, evolution.
		The swarm of cells constituting a human body should be seen as a swarm of swarms, i.e., a huge swarm of overlapping swarms of very different kinds.

		For other uses of the term, see Swarm (disambiguation).
		Animal behaviourists use the term "shoal" for any group of fish, reserving "school" for more closely knit groups of the same species swimming in a highly synchronized and polarized manner.
		Fish derive many benefits from shoaling behaviour including defense against predators (by enanced predator detection and diluting the chance of capture), enhanced foraging success, and higher success of finding a mate.

	20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: The Webcast!
		The study of how animal populations evolve and disperse geographically is known as "biogeography." Hydrothermal vents offer a unique opportunity for biogeographers because the underwater environment is affected by fewer factors than are land environments.
		Most of the research into the fauna (animal life) that inhabit hydrothermal vent systems has been done in the northern region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and along the East Pacific Rise, which runs roughly parallel to the west coast of South America.
		Although similar types of animals can be found at both Atlantic and Pacific vent sites, there is more similarity among the vent ecosystems along the same ridge than there is between the two ridges.
