The Arctic fox is related to wolves, dogs, and other foxes because they are from the Canidae family. The Arctic fox was thought to have evolved in Europe as the ice sheet expanded when a glacial period swept the Earth about 2.6 million years ago. The life of the Arctic fox is relatively little in the wild ranging from approximately 3 to 6 years. Weighing only 6 to 17 pounds, it exists in the treeless lands and can withstand temperatures up to -58 grades Fahrenheit. Some basic adaptations for life
There are two kinds of alpacas – the Huacaya and the Suri. Huacaya are far the most frequent, representing 90 % of the Peruvian herd and undoubtedly the most in North America.

The operationalization of frailty relates directly to the determinants used, determinant in this case referring to a characteristic whose presence in a patient may precipitate a diagnosis of frailty. It is important to note that determinants of frailty vary between screening tools thus allowing clinicians or researchers select tools that best suit their unique needs.3 This

Although the East coast was not directly hit by Hurricane Joaquin we did receive a great deal of rain fall over the past few days and the part of
