Australia Floods See Swarming Spiders and Wet Wallabies as Animals Seek Refuge

'Australia Floods See Swarming Spiders and Wet Wallabies as Animals Seek Refuge'

Article

    The article I chose to read is about the Australian floods and how people are seeing swarming spiders and wet wallabies as the animals are seeking refuge. the article is titled, "Australia floods see swarming spiders and wet wallabies as animals seek refuge." The article talked about how this is the worst flooding in decades-- first fires now floods. People watched as thousands of spiders scaled their backyards. Someone said, "All the brown you can see is spiders trying to beat the floodwater, All the brown you can see is spiders trying to beat the floodwater."  Many had to save cattle, pets, and dogs from shelters at risk of flooding as well. 

    This article was very interesting and terrifying to me as well. I dislike spiders and to imagine thousands of spiders in my backyard and everywhere I look is so scary. I also felt bad for all the animals in danger of the floods as well. One farmer lost 85 cows because they couldn't swim and were stuck in vines. Around 20 dogs were rescued from a kennel as well at the risk of the rising waters. Do you think the water will continue rising or start dropping?

    I agree with you, this is terrifying. I never knew Australia had such bad floods, and thinking of spiders scaling the sides of my house reminds me of the lantern fly break out we had a few years ago.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future?

We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
