Time for week 4 blog post

As you can see through the evolution of my blog post, I am starting to get the hang of how to use Twitter as a resource rather than just completing the tweets to get credit for the class, if I am being completely honest. This week I focused on adding accounts that focused on the actual intelligence of wolves because this is what I am most interested in. Although it is a bit difficult to look at these types of accounts on Twitter, I have found some interesting accounts that share good information. For example, I have always loved animals and have focused on loving all species, and never actually hated the top-of-the-food-chain animals like most. Thus when I found out how the Wolf Conservation Center, brought attention to how all species matter, stating quote “But no species is better than another or more valuable than another. The healthiest ecosystems have all native species ', I felt even more touched to look into how wolves communicate their emotions, which are less violent. However, some of my tweets were more fun because I find them more interesting and appropriate for social media (I will work on this and make it more professional). 

Coming back to the class, this week we had to look at what other students posted on their blogs. One of the difficulties I ran into was being able to find websites that allowed the option to leave a comment at the bottom, but I was able to find at least three. After responding to some people on their posts, I think Jack Carpino has the most interesting perspective and reflection on Bird Brain. Through his blog, he was able to walk through the train of thought in the documentary that exemplified the intelligence of the birds through a series of different experiments. 

Yet, when looking at the post that I published, echoing back to before, I think being able to shift my predisposed opinions of wolves and dogs being super similar changed. Through the different readings, I found how many misconceptions there is between the two, and how much research has focused on comparing the two species

to measure intelligence, when in reality they don’t overlap as much to make accurate comparisons.
