Aboriginals

 This week I watched a video (https://youtu.be/bpAS5f4TjNw) about aboriginal people of Australia. Aboriginals are thought to be 1 group of people where in reality it is about 400 tribes of people that have lived in Australia since way before Europeans got there, it's said that they are one of the oldest cultures on Earth. They were nomadic people who created tools such a boomerangs for hunting or playing instruments like didgeridoo. Aboriginal people of Australia were met with huge opression by Europeans and then government of Australia. Today Aboriginals acount for just 3% of Australian population, you can also hear only 75 languages, before Europeans there were around 300. because of that today on the 26th of May Australians celebrate National Sorry Day. Unfortuneatly, even though things are way better than in the past Aboriginal people still have very little people in government and many of them face poverty and health problems.

    1. Nothing has changed since last year - your texts need editing. The following quote cannot possibly be one sentence!!! "Today Aboriginals acount for just 3% of Australian population, (NEW SENTENCE) you can also hear only 75 languages, (MISSING CONJUNCTION) before Europeans there were around 300."
    2. Australian aboriginals are indeed quite short but you probably had in mind VERY FEW people rather than "very little people".

Colombias Hippos

During the time of his "reign" Pablo Escobar imported lots of exotic animals such as girrafes, elephants, kangaroos or hippos for his private zoo. After his death in the 90s most of those animals were either moved to natural habitats or killed, with the exeption of hippos who quickly became one of teh biggest  tourist attractions. Unfortunately those animals pose a huge threat to both human lifes and nature. Hippopotamuses are huge and often aggresive animals, already there have been reports on humans being attacked, sometimes even infured. Not only that but while spending most of the day in the water they tend to defecate there making the waters greatly polluted. That why wild live specialst think that the best way out would be culling those animals considering their population is growing faster and faster. I think that slaughtering those hippos is neccesary considering the costs of moving and the fact that south america isn't their native habitat, because of  that they ...

Manticore

 One of the interesting mythological creatures, that you can come across in different folklores, is the manticore. Manticore is a creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a lion, the head of a human, wings of a bat, and the tail of a scorpion. Its name comes from Persia, where it meant "human-eating" and was created to scares merchants trying to use old Persian trade ways. What's interesting is that on the Pomeranian soil there have been found imaginations of a manticore. The only noticeable difference is the creature being tailless.
